Privacy Policy
San Diego ADU Match is a matching service that connects San Diego County homeowners planning an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) with one licensed local builder. We are not a contractor. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who it is shared with, and how you can review, correct, delete, or revoke consent for your information. It is posted under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), Business & Professions Code §22575.
Information we collect
We collect only what you submit on our homeowner intake form, in these categories:
- Contact information: your full name, email address, mobile phone number, and your preferred contact method and best time to reach you.
- Property information: property city and ZIP code, ownership status, property type, and garage details if you provide them. We do not ask for your street address on the form.
- Project information: the ADU type you want, its purpose, approximate size, budget band, financing status, timeline, and any blockers or notes you choose to volunteer.
- Consent record: the exact consent wording shown to you, the date and time you agreed, the page you submitted from, and your IP address. We keep this record because it is the proof of your permission — it protects you and us.
- Standard server logs: our hosting provider records routine technical logs (IP address, browser type, time of visit) for security and operation of the website.
Current status: while pilot intake is closed, the form on this site is disabled and collects and stores nothing.
How we use it
- To match your project with one licensed ADU builder whose stated service area covers your property.
- To communicate with you about your request, including confirming the name and CSLB license number of your matched builder before or as they first contact you.
- To operate, secure, and improve the matching service, and to document consent and honor revocations.
Who it is shared with
- Exactly one matched builder. With your consent, your information goes to the one licensed ADU builder matched to your project, for that project only. Builders pay San Diego ADU Match a flat marketing fee for this introduction — that fee is disclosed on the form, next to the consent, before you submit.
- No sale, no lists. We do not sell your personal information. We never provide it to data brokers, lead lists, advertisers, or other builders. Our matched builder agrees in writing to use your information only for your project and to never resell or share it onward.
- Service providers. Companies that host this website and its intake system may process information only as needed to run the service, under contract.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect rights and safety.
Your choices: revoke, review, correct, delete
- Revoke consent at any time. Reply STOP to any text message, or contact Operations, San Diego ADU Match using the method below. We honor revocations within 10 business days, and we pass your revocation to your matched builder, who must honor it too.
- Review, correct, or delete. You may ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. We respond within 10 business days. If you ask for deletion, we delete your information from our active systems and pass the request to your matched builder; we keep only a minimal suppression record (name and phone number) used solely to honor your do-not-contact request, plus consent records we must retain to document that consent was given and revoked.
- How to reach us: submit the intake form on our home page with "Privacy request" as the first words of the "anything else" field, or reply to any email we send you. Both reach Operations, San Diego ADU Match directly.
Do Not Track
This website does not use third-party trackers, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking of any kind, so there is no tracking to switch off. Because we do not track visitors across third-party websites, we do not alter our practices in response to "Do Not Track" signals — there is simply nothing tracking you here.
Retention
We keep intake and consent records for as long as needed to operate the pilot, document consent, honor revocations, and meet legal obligations, and no longer. Records that are no longer needed are deleted.
Children
This service is for adult homeowners. It is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the revised version on this page with a new effective date before the changes take effect for newly collected information. The version in force when you submitted is the version that governs your information.
