Effective Date: October 2, 2026
The Assumption Advantage™ is operated by Lawrence Paul (collectively, “The Assumption Advantage™,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit assumptionadvantage.com, use our mortgage-assumption calculator, scan one of our QR codes, request property information, save a scenario, or otherwise communicate with us.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
We may collect information you choose to provide, including:
- your name, email address, and telephone number (full Buyer access requires a supported mobile number);
- email- and mobile-verification status, timestamps, short-lived verification challenges, and the mobile line-type result;
- an optional property contact name supplied with a property-research request;
- your consent to be contacted and the date and time of that consent;
- an optional company name and message or comments you submit;
- the property address or seller offering you select;
- property, mortgage, financing, closing-cost, ownership-period, and other scenario information entered into the calculator;
- saved scenario names, calculations, and related activity;
- information included in a property-research request or other communication; and
- information you provide when requesting access, correction, or deletion.
Please do not enter Social Security numbers, bank-account information, payment-card information, login credentials, or other highly sensitive information into the calculator or contact forms.
Information collected automatically
When you use the website, we and our technical service providers may automatically process information such as your browser type, device information, referring page, pages requested, approximate location derived from network information, timestamps, security events, and similar technical data. When you submit an inquiry, we may retain its landing page, referring page, UTM campaign fields, and general country or region supplied by our hosting provider so the inquiry can be attributed and reviewed. The application does not retain the submitter's raw or hashed IP address in its contact-activity records.
If you follow a campaign or property QR code, we may retain the QR campaign identifier, scan time, general country or region, browser or user-agent information, referring page, and a randomly generated visitor identifier used to distinguish total scans from approximate unique scans. The application does not retain the raw IP address for QR campaign attribution, although hosting, security, and network providers may process IP addresses and server logs as necessary to deliver and protect the service.
When you enter a ZIP code in the Seller workflow, the website may send that ZIP code to the third-party Zippopotam.us address service to suggest a city and state. Do not enter a complete street address into a ZIP-code field.
Browser storage and cookies
The website may use cookies, session storage, and local storage to maintain secure access, remember a buyer on a private device when requested, preserve selected property information, save local calculator scenarios, and attribute a visit to a QR campaign. Information stored locally remains on your device until it expires, is removed through the website, is cleared through your browser, or is otherwise deleted by the browser.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- provide and operate the website and calculator;
- prepare, display, save, retrieve, or delete property analyses and scenarios;
- respond to property-research requests and other inquiries;
- provide personal follow-up about the selected property or mortgage-assumption information when you consent;
- send operational notifications concerning an inquiry or saved record;
- measure QR campaign activity and referral attribution;
- maintain security, prevent abuse, troubleshoot, and improve the service;
- comply with law and protect legal rights; and
- support a referral to an outside professional only after obtaining any separate authorization required for that disclosure.
Buyer contact forms may use Cloudflare Turnstile and request-rate controls to distinguish legitimate submissions from automated abuse. Cloudflare may process device and network information necessary to provide those security services.
To unlock full Buyer results, we send a one-time code by email and use a communications provider to confirm that the supplied number is a mobile line and deliver a one-time text-message code. Landline, toll-free, fixed-VoIP, and unknown line types are not accepted for this access check. Verification codes expire and are not stored in readable form.
3. Calls, Texts, and Emails
If you check the contact-consent box, you agree that Lawrence Paul, operating The Assumption Advantage™, may personally contact you at the telephone number or email address you provide about the property you selected and mortgage-assumption information. Consent is not a condition of purchasing property or obtaining any product or service. Standard message and data rates may apply.
You may ask us to stop personal calls, texts, or emails at any time by replying “STOP” to a text, using any unsubscribe method included in a marketing email, or contacting contact@assumptionadvantage.com. Operational or legally required communications may still be sent when permitted by law.
The current consent does not authorize automated or prerecorded marketing calls or mass marketing texts. If our communication practices change, we will update the consent process before using such technology.
4. How We Disclose Information
- Technical service providers. We may use providers that host the website, store data, provide security, deliver email, classify telephone line type, deliver verification texts, or support website operations. They may process information only as needed to perform those services or as otherwise permitted by their agreements and law.
- Property representative. When you request information about a selected property, information may be used by or provided to the person identified as the property representative for that offering when consistent with the consent presented to you.
- Outside referral professionals—with separate authorization. We will not disclose your contact information to an outside mortgage, real-estate, assumption-processing, legal, settlement, or other referral professional merely because you used the calculator. Before making such a disclosure, we will obtain a separate authorization that names or clearly identifies the intended recipient and explains the purpose of the referral.
- Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, regulatory requirements, or a valid governmental request; to investigate fraud or misuse; or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, or the service.
- Business transition. Information may be transferred as part of a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business event, subject to applicable law and the commitments in this Privacy Policy.
We do not currently sell or rent buyer contact information or disclose it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing requested analyses, maintaining saved scenarios and consent records, responding to inquiries, measuring campaigns, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.
You may request deletion as described below. We may retain limited information when retention is required or permitted by law, necessary to document consent or opt-out requests, needed for security or fraud prevention, or required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Clearing your browser data may remove locally saved information but will not necessarily delete information previously transmitted to our systems.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting access to your device and should not choose the “remember” option on a shared or public computer.
7. Your Choices and Requests
You may decline the optional “remember me” feature; remove locally saved information; ask us to stop contacting you; request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you; or withdraw a separate referral authorization before disclosure, when practicable.
To make a privacy request, email contact@assumptionadvantage.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity and the property or inquiry associated with the request. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional rights and appeal procedures. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
8. Third-Party Sites and Services
The website may link to property listings, lenders, government resources, or other third-party sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for third-party sites or services.
9. Children’s Privacy
The website is intended for adults involved in real-estate and mortgage decisions and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child provided information, contact us so we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the service or legal requirements change. We will post the revised Policy with a new effective date. Material changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise permitted by law.

Proto 30 System usage and shared reports
Entry contact details are optional. Local drafts and browser attribution identifiers are stored on your device. Authenticated records, revision history, name, email, mobile number and mobile-verification status are stored securely for additional findings and report services. We use anonymous browser and session IDs, tracked campaign links, and events such as analysis views, verification and report actions to measure usage. A verified session is linked to your person record. Browser counts are not unique-person counts; direct or unknown traffic is not credited to AA Direct Promotion.
Shared reports are sent only to recipients the user explicitly selects. Recipient name, email, relationship, delivery status, and opt-out records are retained. A report link grants access to its financial illustration for 30 days; recipients can forward that link. Invitations do not enroll recipients in marketing. Unsubscribe blocks future shared-report emails to that address. Contact contact@assumptionadvantage.com to request access or deletion, including secure records, reports, recipient data and attributable events.
Confirming your email does not verify control of that inbox; mobile authentication verifies the supplied mobile number. Authentication credentials remain in this browser session. You can use practice addresses, which are labeled and never published for property search.
