This is the privacy policy for DisclosureIQ, the AI disclosure-review tool operated by Matt Smith, California real estate agent (CalDRE# 02184215 ยท Responsible Broker Dennis Liebl, CalDRE# 01211348) at Luxe Places International Realty. The same policy applies whether you use DisclosureIQ on the web at tools.matthewsmithrealty.com or as an app installed from the App Store or Google Play.
I write this policy myself in plain English. If anything is unclear, email me at matt@matthewsmithrealty.com and I will fix it.
What DisclosureIQ does
You drop a California real-estate disclosure packet (TDS, NHD, SPQ, inspections, HOA documents, prelim title, etc.) into DisclosureIQ. The tool reads the PDF text in your browser, sends the extracted text to Anthropic's Claude AI to generate a buyer-ready report, cross-checks public hazard databases (FEMA flood, Cal Fire, USGS, EPA, AirNow, OpenAQ, GreatSchools, OpenStreetMap, US Census), and renders the result as a cited HTML report you can read or share.
What we collect
Disclosure packet text
The PDF text you upload is sent to Anthropic for AI analysis. After the report is generated, the text is not retained on our servers. The rendered report is stored only when you explicitly save it to the in-browser library or create a share link.
Saved reports library
Reports you save are stored in your own browser's localStorage (or Capacitor preferences in the native app). They never leave your device unless you create a share link. We do not see, read, or back up your saved reports.
Share links
When you tap Share, the rendered HTML is uploaded to Vercel Blob storage at a random URL like /r/abc123def. The link expires automatically after 30 days. Anyone with the link can read the report (it is unauthenticated by design so your buyer can open it). We log a view count and the IP and user-agent of each viewer for abuse monitoring; that data is purged after 30 days.
Account / authentication
DisclosureIQ does not require an account during the private beta. If a future build adds optional sign-in, we will update this policy and link it from the sign-in screen.
Analytics
We log basic, aggregated usage information (which routes get hit, how long a generation took, how often each AI model was selected) to a private dashboard. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any third-party advertising tracker.
Crash + error logs
The native iOS / Android app may surface crash logs to Apple App Store Connect or Google Play Console under your device's standard diagnostic settings. You can opt out in iOS Settings > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements or Android Settings > About phone > Usage & diagnostics.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or address unless you type one into the contact form.
- We do not collect your physical location.
- We do not access your contacts, calendar, photos, microphone, or camera unless you explicitly attach a file.
- We do not sell, rent, or share any data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing platforms.
- We do not train AI models on your disclosure data.
Who we share data with
- Anthropic (anthropic.com) processes the disclosure text to generate the AI report. Anthropic's commercial API does not retain content for training. Their privacy policy: anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
- Vercel (vercel.com) hosts the web app and stores share-link blobs. Vercel's privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
- Public data providers (FEMA, Cal Fire, USGS, EPA, AirNow, OpenAQ, GreatSchools, OpenStreetMap, US Census) receive the property address only, never any disclosure content.
- Apple App Store / Google Play handle native app distribution under their own privacy policies.
How long we keep things
- Saved reports in your library: until you delete them or clear browser storage.
- Share-link blobs: 30 days, then auto-expired.
- Share-link view logs: 30 days, then purged.
- AI request payloads in transit: not retained beyond the generation request.
Children
DisclosureIQ is intended for adults (real estate agents and prospective home buyers). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has used the service, email matt@matthewsmithrealty.com and we will purge any identifiable data.
California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
You may request a copy of any personal information we hold, ask us to delete it, or opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, email matt@matthewsmithrealty.com with the subject "Privacy request."
European residents (GDPR)
The data controller is Matt Smith. The lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest (running the disclosure-review tool you asked us to run) and consent (when you explicitly upload a packet or create a share link). You may request access, correction, deletion, or portability by emailing matt@matthewsmithrealty.com.
Security
The web app is served over HTTPS. Share-link blobs use random IDs with at least 50 bits of entropy. We do not store your disclosure packet beyond the generation request itself.
Changes to this policy
If we change anything material, we will update the date at the top and post a notice on the home page for 30 days. The link to this policy is preserved across versions.
