Privacy Policy

How Klear Estates collects, uses, and protects your information. Last updated: September 2026.

1. Information We Collect

Contact information you provide voluntarily — such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address — when you submit an inquiry through our contact form, request a consultation, or register for sale notifications.

Registration information for estate sale line management, including your name and mobile phone number, used solely to notify you when it is your turn to shop.

Payment information processed at our estate sales is handled by our payment providers (including Stripe). We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems.

Business records created as part of serving you — inventory descriptions, photographs of consigned items, contracts, settlement statements, and correspondence.

2. How We Use Your Information

To respond to your inquiries and provide requested services, including estate liquidation, consignment, and appraisal services.

To notify you about upcoming estate sales you have registered for or subscribed to hear about.

To prepare contracts, settlements, and accounting records required to conduct our business.

To improve our website and services. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. How We Share Your Information

With service providers who help us operate — such as payment processors, email delivery services, and SMS providers — only as needed to perform their function.

When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Klear Estates, our clients, or the public.

Estate sale results and settlement figures may be shared with the contracting client and their authorized representatives (attorneys, executors, realtors) as instructed.

4. Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses standard analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, approximate location, device type). This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will continue to function.

5. Data Retention & Security

We retain business records for as long as required by tax, legal, and contractual obligations — typically seven years.

We use industry-standard safeguards including encrypted transmission, access controls, and role-based permissions to protect information stored in our systems.
