4. Property Data

This data is publicly available and its display does not constitute a privacy violation. We do not collect this data from private sources.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We use analytics cookies to understand product usage. You can manage cookie preferences via the cookie banner or by emailing support.

6. Newsletter & Email Marketing

We publish a bi-weekly Indiana market briefing (the "Newsletter"). When you subscribe by entering your email address in a newsletter signup form, you consent to receive this email. We collect and store the following data for newsletter subscribers:

Consent basis: Your subscription is based on your explicit opt-in when you submit the newsletter signup form. Form submission constitutes consent to receive the Newsletter at the email address you provide.

Unsubscribe: Every issue includes a one-click unsubscribe link. You may also unsubscribe by emailing james@bluebelmont.com. After unsubscribing, we retain your email and unsubscribe date for 30 days to prevent accidental re-enrollment, then delete the record.

Signup source tracking: Each newsletter form records which page you signed up from (e.g., "landing page," "market briefing article"). We use this to understand which content drives subscriptions. The source tag is not shared with third parties and does not identify you personally.

Content: The Newsletter contains Indiana real estate market analysis, transfer volume data, owner-profile trends, zoning updates, and platform feature announcements. It does not contain third-party advertising.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. After account deletion, we retain anonymized usage data for product improvement. Billing records are retained as required by tax law (typically 7 years). Newsletter subscriber data is retained as described in Section 6.

8. Security

We protect your data with encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest, role-based access controls, and quarterly security reviews. SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress (target: Q4 2026).
