Privacy Policy

Effective date: [Month DD, YYYY]

Amethyst Surplus Recovery (“Amethyst,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website, our client portal, and the surplus-funds recovery services we provide. By using our website or services, you agree to this Policy.

1. Who we are

Amethyst Surplus Recovery is a surplus- and overage-funds recovery service operated by Beck Business Solutions, LLC. We help former property owners and their heirs identify and recover surplus funds generated by tax and foreclosure sales. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide. Your name, mailing address, email address, phone and mobile numbers, information about the property and the sale, and documents you submit to establish identity, ownership, or the right to claim funds (which may include government-issued identification, deeds, estate or probate records, and similar records).
• Information created through our services. Records of your claim, its status, our communications with you (including messages, call logs, and notes), appointments, reminders, and documents stored in your portal.
• Information collected automatically. Basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage information collected through standard web technologies when you visit our website or use the portal.
• Information from third parties and public records. Information from county, court, and other public records used to identify surplus funds and confirm the rightful claimant.

3. How we use your information

• To identify potential surplus funds and confirm your entitlement to them;
• To prepare, file, and manage claims with counties, courts, and other agencies on your behalf;
• To communicate with you about your claim, appointments, reminders, and account;
• To operate, secure, and improve our website and client portal;
• To comply with legal, regulatory, and record-keeping obligations; and
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.

4. Text (SMS) messaging

If you provide a mobile number and opt in, we may send you account- and claim-related text messages (for example, status updates, appointment or document reminders, and one-time verification or password-reset codes). Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and you can reply HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of using our services.

We do not sell or share your mobile opt-in information or consent with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Phone numbers and messaging consent are used only to deliver the messages described above through our messaging provider.

5. Email communications

We use email to send account notices, claim updates, reminders, and password-reset codes. You may adjust certain notification preferences in your portal or by contacting us. We will always honor a “Do Not Contact” request to the extent permitted by law and consistent with our ability to service an active claim.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to provide our services and as described below:

• Service providers. Vendors who host our systems, store documents, send email and text messages, verify addresses, and provide similar services, who are permitted to use the information only to perform services for us.
• Government agencies and courts. Counties, courts, trustees, and agencies to the extent necessary to file and pursue your claim.
• Legal and safety. When required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Amethyst, our clients, or others.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
• With your consent. For any other purpose disclosed to you with your permission.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website and portal use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how our site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the site functions.

8. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encrypted connections, access controls, and multi-factor authentication for portal accounts. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain records of claims, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

10. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses. To exercise any available right, contact us using the information below. We will respond as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

11. Children’s privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults (18 and older). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Third-party links

Our website may link to third-party sites we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of our website or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
