Anything you post in Redfin's public chat areas, forums, or social media pages is treated as public information and is not protected by this Privacy Policy.
This analysis describes what Redfin's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Users who share personal details in forums or chat features expecting some level of privacy protection will find that Redfin explicitly excludes this content from its privacy framework.
Interpretive note: Applicable law in some jurisdictions may treat identified user content posted on company platforms as personal information regardless of its public status, meaning the policy's exclusion may be narrower in legal effect than stated.
If you share personal information such as your location, financial situation, or property interests in any public-facing Redfin forum or chat, that information is explicitly outside the protections of this policy and may be collected and used without the limitations described elsewhere.
