Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

Real Estate Soup (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates www.realestatesoup.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here. If you have questions, email us at [email protected].

Our Approach

We’re committed to handling your personal information responsibly. In practice that means:

•We collect personal information only for clear purposes, which we identify at or before the time of collection.

•We use it only for those purposes, unless you consent to something else or the law requires it.

•We keep it only as long as necessary to fulfill those purposes.

•We collect it by lawful, fair means and, where appropriate, with your knowledge or consent.

•We aim to keep the information we hold accurate, relevant, and up to date.

•We protect it with reasonable safeguards against loss, theft, and unauthorized access or disclosure.

•We make this Policy readily available, so you know how your information is handled.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you contact us, sign up for our newsletter, create an account, or buy a digital product, we may collect your name, email address, and any details you include in messages.

Payment information. We sell digital products through third-party payment processors (PayPal and Stripe). We do not collect or store your full payment card details — those go directly to the processor, who handles them under their own privacy policies and security standards.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we automatically collect device and usage data such as your IP address, browser type, time zone, referring website, and the pages you view.

Cookies and Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and remember your preferences. We also display advertising through Google AdSense and may participate in affiliate programs. These third parties may set their own cookies to serve relevant ads and measure performance. We don’t control these cookies. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalized Google advertising at https://adssettings.google.com.

Affiliate Links

The Site contains a few affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These links take you to third-party sites with their own privacy practices, which we don’t control.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

•respond to your inquiries and deliver the digital products you purchase;

•send newsletters or updates you’ve signed up for (unsubscribe anytime);

•operate, maintain, and improve the Site;

•detect and prevent fraud or abuse;

•comply with legal obligations.

Transactional messages. We may send you transactional or service-related messages — such as purchase receipts, download links, and important updates about products you’ve bought — separately from any marketing emails. These service messages are part of providing the product and aren’t promotional.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the Site (payment processors, email and hosting providers, advertising partners), and with legal authorities when required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, opt out of marketing, or opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we don’t sell it). California and EEA/UK residents have specific rights under their local laws. To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. Your information may be processed in the United States.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Links to Other Websites

Our Site links to websites we don’t own or control. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to read their policies.

Information Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no method of internet transmission is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and we’ll update the “Last updated” date above.
