Why it matters

Passive data collection begins the moment you visit Redfin's site, even without registering, meaning your browsing behavior and interests are tracked and can be used for advertising without you taking any active step.

Consumer impact

Redfin collects a broad range of personal data including geolocation, browsing behavior, financial information, and phone call recordings, and shares this data with real estate partners, advertisers, and affiliated companies. Users who become real estate clients provide particularly sensitive financial and transactional data that is retained and used beyond the immediate transaction. You can opt out of data sale or targeted advertising and request deletion of your data by visiting your Redfin account settings or submitting a request through Redfin's privacy rights portal.

Applicable agencies
