Privacy

What we collect

• Searching the calendar collects nothing about you.
• An account is your email address and a password, which we store only as a hash.
• With a paid plan we keep your watchlist, your notes and your alert preferences: the states, counties and sale types you chose, and whether you want email or Telegram alerts.
• The contact form sends us the name, email address and message you type. We store each message until it is delivered to our mailbox and for 30 days after that, then delete it. A message that cannot be delivered stays stored until we clear it by hand. Backup copies can hold a message for up to 14 more days.
• Our servers keep short-lived logs of requests (address, time, page) for security and rate limiting.
• For each account we keep a count of listings viewed per day, to apply the daily limit and to trace a bulk copy of the listings to the account that made it. Those counts are deleted after 30 days.
• An address that makes many refused requests, or opens a link hidden from visitors, may be blocked from the site for an hour.

Cookies

One cookie, set when you sign in, keeps you signed in. It holds a random session token and nothing else. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.

Payments

Stripe handles cards and billing. We store your subscription status and its period so we know which plan you have; we never see or store card numbers.

Email and Telegram

We email you to answer your messages, to tell you about your account, and to send the alerts you turn on. Every alert email carries a one-click unsubscribe link. Telegram alerts go only to a chat you link yourself, and you can unlink it any time.

Who sees it

Nobody but us and the services that run the site for us (hosting, email delivery, Stripe for billing, and Google for the map on member listing pages and for street images of listed properties). We do not sell or share your information for marketing.

Maps

Member listing pages show an embedded Google Map of the property, which your browser loads directly from Google, so Google receives the property’s address, your IP address and that you came from DeedWindow.

Where a listing has no photo of its own, member pages and the properties shown on our home page can show a Google Street View image of the street near it instead. Your browser loads that image directly from Google too, so Google receives the property’s address, your IP address and that you came from DeedWindow. We do not keep copies of these images. Google’s own terms apply to these Google Maps features: the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Keeping and deleting

Your account data stays while the account exists. To delete your account and everything tied to it, write to info@deedwindow.com from the account’s email address. We keep backup copies of our database for 14 days, so anything deleted can remain in a backup for up to 14 more days.

Changes

When this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
