Privacy Policy

beavertonoregon.com is an independently run community site, not an official government website. This page explains what information we collect and how it’s used.

Information we collect

• Account information. If you create an account, we store your email address, name (if provided), and a securely hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.
• Information you submit. This includes messages sent through contact forms, inquiries about a business or real estate listing, business or listing submissions, and similar information you choose to share with us.
• Site activity. We collect general information about how the site is used — such as pages visited and approximate location — for analytics, security, and to help us improve and personalize the site.

How we use this information

We use this information to operate the site, respond to inquiries, connect you with the businesses, agents, or listings you contact, maintain content submitted to the site, process payments where applicable, and understand and improve overall site usage.

Sharing of information

When you contact a business, submit an inquiry about a real estate listing, or take a similar action on the site, we share the information involved (such as your name, email, or phone number) with the relevant business, agent, or professional so they can respond to you. We may also share information with service providers who help us operate the site, such as processing payments or supplying listing, mapping, or photo content. This sharing may be considered a “sale” of personal information under some state privacy laws.

On the real estate side, we work with local real estate agents to help support this site and grow our communities. If you inquire about a listing, your information may be provided to a participating agent so they can follow up with you.

Payments

If you make a payment through the site — for example, for a premium placement or subscription — that payment is handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not store your full payment card details ourselves.

Listing and photo data

Some business, real estate, and photo information shown on the site is sourced from third-party data providers and public sources. These sources may change over time as we improve the site.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies required for the site to function, such as keeping you signed in. We don’t use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Your choices

You can request that we delete your account and associated data, or ask us not to share your information further, at any time by contacting us through the Contact page.
