Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 8, 2026
This policy explains what information Homebuyers of NC (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects through www.homebuyersofnc.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. If you have a question about it, call us at (910) 218-8874 or use our contact page.
Information We Collect
- Information you give us. Your name, phone number, email address, the property address, and anything you tell us about the property or your situation — through our forms, by phone, by text, or by email.
- Information collected automatically. When you visit the site we and our service providers collect the pages you view, the page or ad that brought you here, campaign details included in a link (for example, which mailer or ad you responded to), your browser and device type, and an approximate location based on your internet address. This is collected with cookies and similar tools described below.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your request, review your property, and explain your options — including a direct cash offer, a listing, or another path.
- To contact you by phone, text message, or email about your property and your request.
- To run, secure, and improve the website, prevent spam, and understand which pages, ads, and mailings are useful.
- To keep business records and meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Text Messages
If you give us your mobile number and agree to be contacted, we may send you text messages about your property and your request. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help. Agreeing to receive texts is not a condition of selling a property to us.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these situations:
- With service providers that help us run our business — website hosting, our customer database, phone and text messaging, email, analytics, and advertising. They may use it only to provide services to us.
- With the people involved in a transaction you choose to move forward with, such as a closing attorney, title company, or lender, or — if you choose a listing or another option that involves brokerage services — the licensed real estate brokerage and its agents.
- When the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our customers, our company, or others.
- As part of a merger, sale, or transfer of our business, under this policy.
Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies, including tools from Google (such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA), Microsoft Clarity, Meta (Facebook), and other advertising partners. They help us understand how the site is used, block spam, and show our ads to people who may be interested — including people who have visited our site before.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on, and change your ad preferences in your Google and Facebook account settings. Some parts of the site may not work without cookies.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes above, including to keep records of property transactions and to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information you give us, but no website or system is completely secure. Please do not send Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, passwords, or similar sensitive details through our website forms.
Your Choices
- Texts: reply STOP to any message. Email: use the unsubscribe link or ask us to stop. Calls: tell us you no longer want to be called.
- You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the information we have about you by calling (910) 218-8874 or through our contact page. We will respond as the law requires and may keep records we are legally required to keep.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Links to Other Websites
Our site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
