15. California Consumer Privacy Act
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), provides privacy rights to California residents where a business is subject to the law.
As of October 9, 2026, the CCPA generally applies to a qualifying for-profit business doing business in California that determines the purposes and means of processing personal information and satisfies at least one statutory applicability test, including:
- Annual gross revenue exceeding the currently adjusted threshold of $26,625,000;
- Buying, selling, or sharing personal information of at least 100,000 California consumers or households; or
- Deriving at least 50% of annual revenue from selling or sharing California consumers’ personal information.
The inclusion of this section does not represent that I Buy Houses With Fire Damage San Francisco necessarily meets a CCPA threshold.
Where the CCPA applies, we will comply with applicable requirements.

Where the CCPA applies, qualifying California residents may have rights including:
Right to Know and Access
Request qualifying information concerning personal information collected, used, sold, or shared.

Request deletion of qualifying personal information, subject to statutory exceptions.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
Direct a covered business not to sell or share qualifying personal information.
Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information
Limit specified qualifying uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information.
Right to Non-Discrimination
Receive no unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable CCPA rights.
17. Sale and Sharing
California law gives “sale” and “sharing” specialized meanings.
Depending on the circumstances:
- Providing personal information to an independent third party for monetary or other valuable consideration may constitute a sale; and
- Disclosure for qualifying cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute sharing.
Certain disclosures are excluded by statute, including qualifying:
- Service-provider disclosures;
- Contractor disclosures;
- Consumer-directed disclosures;
- Affiliate transactions; and
- Business transfers.
Where the CCPA applies and we engage in qualifying sale or sharing, we will provide required opt-out methods.
18. Global Privacy Control
Where the CCPA applies, a valid Global Privacy Control or other qualifying opt-out preference signal will be processed as a request to opt out of qualifying sale or sharing as required by California law.
19. Notice at Collection
Where required by the CCPA, we will provide legally required notice at or before collection identifying applicable:
- Categories of personal information;

Where required, we will provide methods for submitting qualifying requests to:
- Know;
- Access;

We may verify requests as permitted by law.
Consumers will not be required to create an account solely to exercise a CCPA right.

Opt-out requests will be processed within the timeframe required by applicable regulations.

24. 2026 CCPA Risk Assessments and Cybersecurity Rules
California’s updated CCPA regulations became effective January 1, 2026.
Where applicable, covered businesses engaging in qualifying higher-risk processing must comply with privacy risk-assessment requirements.
Certain covered businesses also must complete cybersecurity audits according to applicable phased compliance schedules.
Where these requirements apply to us, we will comply with them.
25. Automated Decisionmaking Technology
California has adopted additional requirements governing certain automated decisionmaking technology (“ADMT”).
The requirements concerning use of qualifying ADMT to make significant decisions begin according to the regulatory schedule, including requirements beginning in 2027.
If we use covered ADMT in a manner subject to those requirements, we will provide required notices and rights when applicable.
26. California Data Broker Requirements
California separately regulates qualifying data brokers.
A data broker generally is a qualifying business that knowingly collects and sells personal information concerning consumers with whom the business does not have a direct relationship.

California generally prohibits intentional recording of a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Accordingly, if we record a confidential telephone or other communication involving a person in California, our operational practice should:

We or providers acting on our behalf may record communications for legitimate purposes including:
