The Website presently describes the business primarily as a direct purchaser of fire-damaged property.
Submitting information permits us to determine whether we may wish to acquire a property.
A Website inquiry does not itself create:

9. Indiana Unlicensed Real Estate Solicitation Rules
Indiana regulates certain solicitations concerning the purchase or sale of residential single-family homes by persons who are not licensed real estate professionals.
Depending on the actual role and transaction structure, those rules may require a solicitation to state:
“This solicitation is not from a licensed real estate professional.”
Where required, the disclosure must also identify the legal name of the unlicensed solicitor and, where different and known, the expected purchaser.
Indiana’s statutory definition contains exceptions, including certain principal purchasers acquiring property for their own account.
Accordingly, whether this requirement applies depends on the actual acquisition model and should be determined before publication of advertising or solicitation materials.
10. Websites and Electronic Solicitation
Indiana’s solicitation statute expressly includes methods such as:
- Websites;
- Email;
- Text messages;
- Telephone calls;
- Social media;
- Mailers;
- Yard signs;
- Broadcast advertisements; and
- Other electronic or print methods.
Where we are subject to that statute, required disclosures will be included in applicable solicitations.

- Merger;
- Acquisition;

- Reorganization;
- Affiliate restructuring;
- Sale of assets;
- Bankruptcy; or
- Similar transaction.
13. Legal and Safety Disclosures
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with law;
- Respond to legal process;
- Respond to lawful governmental requests;
- Investigate fraud;
- Protect rights or property;
- Protect safety;
- Protect systems;
- Enforce agreements; or
- Establish or defend legal claims.
14. Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act
The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act (“ICDPA”), Indiana Code Article 24-15, became effective January 1, 2026.
The ICDPA does not apply to every business.
Subject to exemptions, it generally applies to a person that conducts business in Indiana or targets Indiana residents and, during a calendar year:
- Controls or processes personal data of at least 100,000 Indiana consumers; or
- Controls or processes personal data of at least 25,000 Indiana consumers and derives more than 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data.
The inclusion of this section does not represent that I Buy Houses With Fire Damage Indianapolis necessarily satisfies those thresholds.
Where the ICDPA applies, we will comply with its requirements.
15. Indiana Consumer Rights
Where the ICDPA applies, qualifying Indiana consumers may have rights to:
- Confirm whether we process personal data;
- Access qualifying personal data;
- Correct qualifying inaccuracies;
- Delete qualifying personal data;
- Obtain qualifying personal data in a portable format;
- Opt out of targeted advertising;
- Opt out of sale of personal data;
- Opt out of qualifying profiling; and
- Appeal certain privacy-request decisions.
16. Sale of Personal Data
Under the ICDPA, a “sale” generally concerns exchange of personal data with a third party for monetary consideration.
The statute excludes specified disclosures, including qualifying disclosures:
- To processors;
- To affiliates;
- At the consumer’s direction;
- To provide a requested service;
- Of information intentionally made public; and
- In qualifying mergers, acquisitions, or similar business transactions.
Providing information to a title company, contractor, service provider, or other transaction participant therefore does not automatically constitute a statutory sale.
17. Targeted Advertising and Profiling
Where the ICDPA applies, qualifying Indiana consumers may opt out of:
- Targeted advertising;
- Sale of personal data; and
- Profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
Where we engage in such processing and the law applies, legally required disclosures and opt-out methods will be provided.
18. Sensitive Data
Where the ICDPA applies, sensitive data includes specified information concerning:
- Racial or ethnic origin;
- Religious beliefs;
- Mental or physical health diagnosis;
- Sexual orientation;
- Citizenship;
- Immigration status;
- Identifying genetic or biometric information;
- Precise geolocation; and
- Personal data concerning a known child.
Covered processing of sensitive data generally requires consent.
Our ordinary property-inquiry forms are not intended to collect unnecessary sensitive personal information.
19. Privacy Request Timing
Where the ICDPA applies, we generally will respond to an authenticated consumer request within 45 days.
Where reasonably necessary, that response period may be extended once by an additional 45 days, with legally required notice.
20. Privacy Appeals
Where the ICDPA applies and we decline to act on a qualifying request, the consumer may appeal through the method we provide.
Appeals generally will be addressed within 60 days as required by law.
21. Privacy Notice and Security Duties
Where the ICDPA applies, we will maintain legally required practices concerning:
- Privacy notices;
- Data minimization;
- Reasonably necessary processing;
- Reasonable security;
- Processor contracts;
- Sensitive-data consent;
- Consumer requests; and
- Data protection impact assessments for qualifying higher-risk processing.
22. Residents of Other States
Consumers residing outside Indiana may have rights under another state’s privacy law.
Depending on applicable law, rights may include:
- Access;
- Correction;
- Deletion;
- Portability;
- Sale opt-out;
- Sharing opt-out;
- Targeted-advertising opt-out;
- Profiling rights;
- Sensitive-data protections;
- Authorized-agent rights;
- Privacy-signal rights; and
- Appeals.
23. Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers transmit preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.
Indiana’s ICDPA does not presently create the same express universal opt-out preference-signal requirement found in certain other state laws.
Where another applicable law requires us to recognize a qualifying signal, we will do so.
24. Telephone Communications
If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to communicate concerning:
- Your property;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Evaluations;
- Offers;
- Follow-up;
- Potential transactions; and
- Related services.
Where legally required, additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made.
You may request that calls stop.
25. Indiana Call Recording
Indiana generally follows a one-party-consent approach for transmitted electronic communications, because its interception law excludes qualifying recording by a sender or receiver or with the consent of a sender or receiver.
We or service providers acting on our behalf may record communications for legitimate purposes including:
- Documentation;
- Quality assurance;
- Training;
- Compliance;
- Fraud prevention; and
- Security.
Interstate communications may involve another jurisdiction with stricter recording requirements.
Where a stricter applicable law requires additional notice or all-party consent, we will follow that requirement.
26. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where legally required, separate consent will be obtained before regulated automated or promotional texts are sent.
Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
27. Email Communications
We may use your email address to:
- Respond to inquiries;
- Communicate concerning your property;
- Provide offer information;
- Schedule calls or visits;
- Send transaction information;
- Follow up; and
- Send promotional communications where permitted.
Applicable promotional emails will include an unsubscribe mechanism.
28. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes described in this Policy.
Relevant considerations may include:
- Whether an inquiry remains active;
- Whether a property remains of acquisition interest;
- Potential follow-up;
- Whether a transaction occurred;
- Contract requirements;
- Legal requirements;
- Tax and accounting obligations;
- Fraud prevention;
- Litigation;
- Insurance matters; and
- Legitimate business recordkeeping.
29. Information Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized:
- Access;
- Acquisition;
- Use;
- Disclosure;
- Alteration;
- Loss; and
- Destruction.
No electronic system can be guaranteed completely secure.
30. Indiana Security-Breach Notification
Indiana law imposes notification obligations following specified breaches of qualifying personal information.
Where applicable, required disclosures generally must be made:
- Without unreasonable delay; and
- Not later than 45 days after discovery of the breach,
subject to legally permitted delays for investigation, restoration of system integrity, law enforcement, or national security.
Indiana law can also require:
- Notice to the Indiana Attorney General; and
- Notice to nationwide consumer-reporting agencies where more than 1,000 Indiana residents must be notified.
31. Children
The Website is intended for adults involved in real estate matters.
It is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 through ordinary property-offer forms.

The Website may link to third-party websites or services.
We do not control third-party:
