Privacy Policy & Data Protection Standards

Introduction to Our Privacy Commitment

Welcome to California Property Hub (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We operate as an independent digital portal providing property search tools, aggregate public land records, and GIS mapping insights. We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy, security, and personal data of our website visitors.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, maintain, and disclose information gathered from users (each, a “User”) of our platform. This policy applies to the entire website, our specialized property lookup utilities, and all services offered by California Property Hub.

Compliance with California Privacy Laws (CCPA/CPRA & CalOPPA)

Because our platform explicitly serves data related to California real estate, we strictly align our data management infrastructure with state-specific privacy legislations:

  • California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA): We maintain complete transparency regarding the categories of data tracked via our portal.
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / CPRA: We respect the statutory rights of California residents regarding their personal information, including the right to know what data is collected and the right to opt-out of data sales.
