Privacy Policy

South OC Rentals is independently owned and operated by Jacob Lawlor, California DRE #01899247. Jacob Lawlor is a real estate licensee affiliated with First Team Real Estate, California DRE #01008773. South OC Rentals is not owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by First Team Real Estate.

South OC Rentals does not currently require an account, and there is no sign-in, registration, email signup, or contact form on the website. Because of that, the website does not ask you for your name, email address, or phone number in order to browse listings, market pages, or educational content.

If you choose to contact South OC Rentals directly — for example by email, by phone, or by using the text-message option shown with a rental listing and sending a message from your own device to the published South OC Rentals SMS number — the information you send, including your mobile number and message content, is then provided for the purpose of that conversation and is used to respond to your inquiry.

The South OC Rentals text-messaging program is operated by Jacob Lawlor through the South OC Rentals service. The SMS number is (949) 593-3847. Messaging always begins with you: the website prepares an unsent message in your own messaging app, and no text is sent unless you send it.

When you text that number, Jacob Lawlor / South OC Rentals may receive your mobile phone number, the content of your messages, the date and time of each message, any property reference included in your inquiry, and your opt-in or opt-out status.

• Responding to your rental inquiry and providing the rental information you asked for.
• Coordinating follow-up that you requested.
• Operating the messaging service and maintaining your messaging preferences.
• Protecting the service from misuse.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. Reply HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.

Messaging and service providers may process this information on behalf of Jacob Lawlor / South OC Rentals only as necessary to deliver the messaging service you requested. SMS and mobile information is not used or transferred for unrelated third-party marketing.

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in consent information are not sold, rented, shared, or provided to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for their marketing or promotional purposes.

The website includes an educational rental assistant. Questions you type are sent to the website's servers so an answer can be generated from published South OC Rentals records and official sources. Conversations are not stored in a database, are not linked to an account, and are not used to build a marketing or contact record. Your conversation exists only in your browser tab and ends when you close or reload it.

Please do not include sensitive personal information — such as financial account details, government identification numbers, or medical information — in an assistant question.

Like most websites, requests to South OC Rentals are handled by hosting and content delivery infrastructure that processes ordinary technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested page, and time of request. This information is used to serve pages, keep the site available, and protect against abuse.

South OC Rentals does not currently run advertising tags, behavioral advertising, remarketing pixels, social media tracking pixels, or third-party website analytics products. If that changes, this policy will be updated before those technologies are introduced.

The website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Limited browser storage may be used for ordinary interface behavior — for example remembering a filter or panel state while you browse. Your browser settings control cookies and site storage.

• Operating, maintaining, and improving the website.
• Responding to inquiries and providing requested information.
• Keeping the site secure and preventing abuse or automated misuse.

South OC Rentals relies on service providers to host the website, deliver its pages, store published content, and generate rental-assistant answers. Those providers process limited information as necessary to perform those functions on behalf of South OC Rentals.

South OC Rentals does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Rental listing information displayed on this website comes from MLS/IDX sources and is published for consumers' personal, non-commercial use. Viewing a listing does not create a record about you, and no inquiry is sent to a listing brokerage simply because you viewed a property.

South OC Rentals may link to third-party websites, government agencies, associations, school districts, service providers, educational resources, or other external sources for informational convenience. Unless expressly stated otherwise, South OC Rentals is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by those third parties, and inclusion of a link does not imply that the linked organization sponsors or endorses South OC Rentals.

External websites have their own privacy practices. This policy does not apply to them, and you should review the privacy policy of any site you visit from a link here.

The website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children.

Reasonable measures are used to protect the website and the limited information it processes. No website or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This policy may be updated as the website changes. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the website after an update means the updated policy applies.
