Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

DeedRead is a property-research service that compiles public records into a plain-language report for homebuyers. We keep the data we collect to the minimum we need to produce and deliver your report, and we never sell or share it. This page explains what we collect, why, and how it's handled.

What we collect

Why we collect it

We collect this information for one purpose: to research the property you requested, produce your report, and deliver it to you. We also use your email to respond to support questions and to process a refund if you request one.

We don't sell or share your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. We don't share it with data brokers, advertisers, or third parties for marketing. The only third party that handles your data is Stripe, our payment processor, and only to process your payment. Your report is compiled from public records — we never resell the information you give us.

Our research draws only on primary public-record sources (the Registry of Deeds, town assessor databases, municipal permit portals, FEMA flood maps, and MassGIS). The personal details you give us are used solely to fulfill your order.

Cookies and tracking

We use minimal cookies — at most those strictly necessary for the site and checkout to function. We don't run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on this site. Stripe may set cookies needed to process your payment securely.

Data retention

We keep your order details and report for a reasonable period to support delivery, follow-up questions, and refund requests. You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see below); we'll honor that unless we're required to retain certain records for tax or legal reasons.

Your data requests

You can ask us what information we hold about you, request a correction, or request deletion. Email [email protected] and we'll respond promptly.
