RealEstate Edge is operated by T M STAFFORD LLC, trading as RU Institute ("we", "us", or "our"). We are the data controller for the personal information described in this Privacy Policy. It explains what information we collect when you use our application and services (the "Service"), how we use that information, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.
Where data protection law (such as the UK/EU GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
The Service uses third-party AI providers to research and generate content from your prompts. Inputs you submit — such as your market, audience, brand voice, agent name, and brokerage — may be transmitted to those providers solely to fulfill your request. We do not sell your content or use it to train third-party models.
To verify the facts used in your scripts, our servers also retrieve and read publicly available web pages from the sources cited in your results. These requests are made by our servers, not from your browser, and they do not carry your personal information to the publishers of those pages. We store the resulting evidence, source titles, and links with your generated scripts so that you can review them.
If you join our affiliate program, we store your affiliate application details, referral code, payout email (for example, your PayPal address), approval status, and a record of commissions earned. If you arrive at the Service through an affiliate link, we store the referral code in your browser and, if you create an account, associate your account with the referring affiliate so commissions can be attributed. Affiliates see aggregate referral and commission data — not the personal details of the people they referred, beyond what is needed to confirm a qualifying transaction.
To protect the free trial and keep the Service available, we apply basic automated abuse protection. When you create an account or request a generation, we record a minimal security event containing the event type (for example, a rate limit being reached or an account created with a known temporary-mailbox domain), a timestamp, and a one-way keyed hash of your network address. We do not store your raw IP address with these events, and we do not use device fingerprinting, advertising identifiers, or behavioral tracking for this purpose. These security events are retained for up to 30 days and are then deleted. We check the domain of the email address used at signup against a list of known disposable-mailbox providers; ordinary personal, brokerage, and company email addresses — including addresses using plus-addressing — are unaffected.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the following categories of recipients:
We and our providers, including Paddle, may process your information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an applicable adequacy decision.
We retain your account information and content for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, your profile, scripts, and revision history are erased from our systems. Transaction and tax records held for the sale are retained by us and by Paddle for as long as applicable tax and accounting law requires (typically up to seven years). Data no longer needed is deleted or anonymised.
We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level database permissions. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, to restrict or object to certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. You can delete your account and data yourself at any time from Settings. To exercise any other right, contact us at the address below — we respond within one month.
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by additional notice.
