Privacy Policy

Information we collect

When you use SurplusCheck—for example by submitting a claim on our Check Funds page or by contacting us—we may collect:

• Contact details such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number.
• Property information, including the property address, county, sale date, and surplus funds claim details.
• Documents you choose to upload when we help you pursue California surplus funds or tax sale excess proceeds.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

• Evaluate whether potential surplus funds or excess proceeds may exist in a California county.
• Contact you about your inquiry, claim status, or missing information.
• Prepare and submit claim forms and supporting documents to counties or other holders, when you authorize us to do so.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers and partners who help us process claims, subject to confidentiality obligations.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect in connection with California surplus funds and excess proceeds claims. No system can be perfectly secure, but we work to limit access to those who need the information to perform services for you.

Your choices

You may contact us to:

• Request an update or correction to your contact or claim information.
• Ask us to stop contacting you about new California surplus funds opportunities.
• Request that we delete information we are not required to keep for legal, accounting, or claim-related reasons.

To make a request, visit our Contact page.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our California surplus funds recovery services evolve or as laws change. When we do, we will update the effective date at the bottom of this page.
