Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
What data we collect
Calculator inputs: Your property data is stored in your browser's localStorage only. It is never sent to any server. You control your own data and can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
Email address: Collected only when you voluntarily submit the "email my results" form. Your email is used solely to send the requested calculator results. It is not stored in any database owned by Realestate Returns.
Analytics: We use PostHog in cookieless mode (cookieless_mode: 'always'). No cookies, no local or session storage for analytics. PostHog uses a privacy-preserving server-side hash to count users. There is no cross-session identification.
No account data: This site has no accounts, no passwords, and no personal profiles.
Email data retention
Our transactional email service (Resend) retains delivery logs for approximately 30 to 60 days. After this period, logs are automatically purged.
No email addresses are stored in any database owned by Realestate Returns. The email contains calculator results, a deal scorecard summary, and affiliate links.
Third-party services
- PostHog (analytics) — cookieless mode, no personal data collected
- Resend (email delivery) — processes email addresses for delivery only
- Vercel (hosting) — standard web server logs
- Affiliate partners (DealCheck, RentCast, BiggerPockets, and others) — when you click an affiliate link, the partner's privacy policy applies. We do not share your calculator data with partners
CCPA — Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Realestate Returns does not sell personal information. We do not share personal data with third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request deletion of any personal information we may hold. To submit a data deletion request, email hello@realestate-returns.com. We will process your request within 45 days, consistent with applicable law.
While CCPA thresholds may not currently apply to our operations, we follow these best practices proactively.
Cookies
This site does not use cookies for analytics or tracking.
localStorage is used solely for the shared property profile (your calculator inputs) and is never transmitted to any server.
No cookie consent banner is needed because no cookies are set.
Our site does not set cookies. When you click a link to an affiliate partner, you navigate to a third-party site governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.
Transactional emails
Results emails sent via the "email my results" feature may include affiliate content and are treated as commercial email under CAN-SPAM. Each email includes a physical mailing address and an unsubscribe link.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
