By using the Platform, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly to us, including:
- name;
- email address;
- telephone number;
- mailing or property address;
- account credentials;
- property information;
- tax assessment information;
- documents or records you upload;
- communications you send through the Platform;
- information relating to a potential property-tax appeal;

We may also obtain property-related information from public records, governmental databases, third-party data providers, real-estate data services, mapping services, and other commercially available sources.
2. Property and Public-Record Data
The Platform may collect, analyze, or display information concerning real property, including:

- square footage;
- bedrooms and bathrooms;
- sales history;
- comparable sales;
- geographic location;
- tax information;
- municipal information; and
- other property characteristics.
Some of this information may already be publicly available.
We do not guarantee that information obtained from government records or third-party data providers is complete, current, or accurate.
3. Automatically Collected Information
When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- IP address;

- pages visited;
- date and time of access;
- referring website;
- session activity;
- approximate location derived from IP address;
- cookies and similar technologies; and
- interactions with features, forms, advertisements, or marketing campaigns.
We may use analytics and advertising technologies to understand how users interact with the Platform and to improve our services.
4. How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- provide and operate the Platform;
- create and manage user accounts;
- conduct preliminary property-tax appeal screening;
- obtain and analyze property information and comparable sales;
- generate reports, documents, or appeal-related materials;

- comply with applicable laws and professional obligations;
- market relevant services where permitted by law; and
- facilitate a separate attorney-client relationship if Scipio Law LLC later agrees in writing to represent you.
5. Automated Analysis
The Platform may use automated software, algorithms, scoring systems, artificial intelligence, and third-party data to evaluate property information and identify potentially relevant comparable properties.
Automated results are informational and preliminary.
They should not be interpreted as a formal appraisal, legal opinion, tax determination, or guarantee that a property-tax appeal should be filed or will succeed.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
We may share information with vendors that help us operate the Platform, including providers of:
- cloud hosting;
- database services;
- property and real-estate data;
- mapping services;
- document generation;
- payment processing;
- email and communications;
- analytics;
- advertising;
- security;
- software development; and
- other technology services.
These providers may process information on our behalf in accordance with their own contractual and privacy obligations.
Our technology stack may include services such as Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, Bright Data, RentCast, mapping providers, document-processing providers, and similar services.
The specific providers we use may change over time.
7. Payment Information
Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors such as Stripe.
We generally do not receive or store your complete credit-card number.
Payment processors may collect and process payment information under their own privacy policies and terms.
8. Scipio Law LLC and Legal Representation
Using the Platform does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.
Information submitted through the Platform before a formal engagement is accepted should not be assumed to be protected by the attorney-client privilege.
An attorney-client relationship with Scipio Law LLC exists only if Scipio Law LLC expressly agrees to represent you, generally through a written engagement agreement.
If you later become a client of Scipio Law LLC, information relating to that representation may also be governed by applicable professional-responsibility, confidentiality, and record-retention obligations.
9. How We Share Information
We may disclose information:
- to service providers assisting with operation of the Platform;
- with your consent or at your direction;
- to comply with legal obligations, court orders, subpoenas, or government requests;
- to investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our Terms;
- to protect our rights, property, users, or others;
- as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale, or transfer of business assets; or
- between affiliated entities where reasonably necessary to provide requested services.
We do not sell personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the word "sell."
If our advertising or analytics practices are legally considered a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable privacy law, users may have rights regarding those practices.
10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies to:
- keep users signed in;
- remember preferences;
- understand Platform usage;
- measure advertising effectiveness;
- troubleshoot technical problems;
- improve user experience; and
- support marketing and retargeting.
Browser settings may permit you to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect Platform functionality.
11. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- provide services;
- maintain business and legal records;
- comply with professional or regulatory obligations;
- resolve disputes;
- enforce agreements; and
- protect legitimate business interests.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and whether you become a legal client.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information.
However, no website, database, transmission system, or cloud platform is completely secure.
We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss will never occur.
13. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:
- request access;
- request correction;
- request deletion;
- obtain a copy of certain information;
- opt out of certain targeted advertising or data-sharing activities; or
- appeal certain privacy decisions.
These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.
14. Children's Privacy
The Platform is intended for adults who own, manage, or have authority concerning real property.
It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13.
15. External Links
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.
