Privacy Policy

Who we are, and what this covers

Seaside Horizon Ventures (“we,” “us,” “our”) buys residential and small commercial real estate directly from owners. This policy explains what seasidehorizon.com collects, why we need it, who else can see it, and how you get it removed.

It covers this website and the phone, email and text conversations that follow from it. It does not cover a signed purchase agreement — once you are under contract, the contract governs, and title, escrow and lender disclosures apply on top of this policy.

Our mailing address is 2501 Chatham Road, Suite R, Springfield, IL 62704.

Information you give us

We ask for what we need to evaluate a property and get back to you, and nothing beyond it. Our forms collect:

• If you are selling — your name, the property address, your email, your phone number, the approximate loan balance on the property, your timeline to sell, and anything else you choose to tell us.
• If you are an agent bringing us a deal — your name, your brokerage, your email, your phone number, the property address, and your description of the situation.

The approximate loan balance is financial information, and we ask for it because it is the single figure that determines whether a creative structure is even possible on your property. An approximate number is enough. We do not need, and do not want, your account number, your lender login, or a statement with those details on it.

You may also send us things we did not ask for: photographs, payoff statements, repair estimates, probate or divorce paperwork. We treat anything you send about a property with the care described here, but please black out account numbers before you send it.

Information collected automatically

This site is hosted on Netlify. Like any web host, it keeps server logs recording your IP address, your browser and device type, the pages you requested and the time you requested them. We use those logs to keep the site up and to investigate errors and abuse.

These pages load two typefaces from Google Fonts. That request goes to Google’s servers and, as with any request to a third-party server, reveals your IP address and browser to Google. It delivers a font file. We receive nothing back from it.

Cookies and tracking

Since September 7, 2026 this site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read, and it does so only if you choose Accept on the cookie notice. Until you accept, no analytics cookies are set and nothing is sent to Google. If you accept, Google sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_…) that tell one browser apart from another, and we receive aggregate reports: pages viewed, how visitors arrived, device type and approximate location. IP addresses are anonymized before they are stored.

We do not use Google’s advertising features, remarketing or audience building, and this site carries no advertising or retargeting pixels. We are not following you around the internet.

You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie preferences link in the footer. Declining removes the analytics cookies. Browsers that send a Global Privacy Control signal are treated as having declined, and no notice is shown.

How we use your information

We use what you give us to:

• respond to you and answer your questions;
• research the property — public records, tax and title data, comparable sales — so that we can price an offer;
• prepare, send and negotiate an offer;
• coordinate a closing with the title company, closing attorney and any lender involved;
• keep a record of what we offered and when, which we are obliged to do; and
• detect and prevent fraud, spam and abuse of our forms.

We do not use your information to build a marketing profile, and asking us a question does not put you on a mailing list.

Calls and text messages

When you send us a form with your phone number, you are asking us to get back to you, and you consent to us contacting you at that number by phone call and by text about your inquiry and your property. Message frequency varies with the conversation. Message and data rates may apply. We do not send automated marketing blasts.

Your mobile number and your consent to be contacted are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing. The only parties that touch your number are the service providers who make our own calls and messages work, described in the next section, and they may not use it for anything else.

Opting out of texts does not withdraw an offer or affect a transaction already under way. We will simply reach you another way.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we never have. We do not rent or trade it, and we do not pass it to other investors, lead buyers or list brokers.

We share it only in these situations:

• Service providers. Companies that run parts of our operation under contract: our website host, our email provider, our phone and texting provider, our document signing service, and Calendly, which we use for scheduling calls. They may use your information only to provide that service to us. If you book through Calendly, what you enter there is also handled under Calendly’s own privacy policy.
• Transaction partners, once a deal is live. Title companies, closing attorneys, escrow agents, surveyors, inspectors, insurers and lenders — the parties a closing actually requires. This happens only after you have engaged with us on a specific property.
• Assignment or funding partners. We are principal buyers, and on some transactions we assign the contract or bring in a funding partner before closing. Where that happens, information about that property may be shared with that party so the purchase can close. You will know before it happens, because it will be in your contract.
• Our own advisors. Our attorneys and accountants, under a duty of confidentiality.
• Legal requirement. Where a subpoena, court order or law requires it, or where we reasonably need to protect our rights, our safety, or someone else’s.
• Business transfer. If our business is sold or merged, records may transfer with it, subject to this policy.

How long we keep it

If we talk and no deal follows, we keep your inquiry for up to two years, so that we recognise you and your property if you come back, and so we can show what we offered and when. After that we delete it, unless you ask us to sooner.

Where we did transact, closing records are kept for at least seven years. Contract, tax and title records are not ours alone to erase, and a deletion request does not reach them.

Records we keep in order to honour a do-not-contact request — essentially your name and the number or address to suppress — are kept indefinitely on purpose. That is the only way to stay opted out.

How we protect it

The site is served over HTTPS and form submissions travel encrypted. Access to what you send is limited to the people who need it to work your file.

No website or email system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise. That is exactly why we ask for an approximate loan balance rather than account details, why we do not collect identification documents here, and why you should not send those by email either.

Your choices and your rights

State privacy laws give different rights to different people, and several of them apply only to companies larger than we are. We would rather not make you work out whether a statute covers you. Whoever you are and wherever you live, you may ask us to:

• tell you what we hold about you;
• give you a copy of it;
• correct anything that is wrong;
• delete it, subject to the closing and suppression records described above; and
• stop contacting you — by text, by call, by email, or altogether.

Email kris@seasidehorizon.com or call (630) 488-5894. We aim to answer within 30 days. We may need to confirm you are who you say you are before handing over or deleting a file, usually by reaching you at the number or address already on it.

We will not treat you worse for asking. Requesting deletion does not change an offer that is on the table.

Children

This site is for adults transacting in real estate. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us something, email kris@seasidehorizon.com and we will delete it.

Links to other sites

We link out to other places — scheduling, social profiles, property records. Once you leave, you are on their terms and their privacy policy, not ours. We do not control what they collect and we are not responsible for it.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes we update the effective date at the top of the page. If a change materially affects how we use information you already gave us, we will say so here rather than edit it quietly, and where we have your email we will tell you directly. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the current version.
