Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for Maven Instant-Seg · Original Effective Date: March 5, 2026 · Last Updated: October 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Maven Cost Segregation Tax Advisors ("Maven," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information.

This section explains how our Maven Instant-Seg Chrome Extension accesses, processes, and protects information when providing property depreciation and tax-savings estimates.

This section applies specifically to Maven Instant-Seg. Our website, Maven REPS Hour Tracker, and Maven Cost Segregation ChatGPT plugin are covered by separate sections of this Privacy Policy.

2. Data Collection and Use

Property Information

Maven Instant-Seg accesses publicly displayed property information from the Zillow or Redfin listing you are viewing, including property pricing and property type, to generate preliminary depreciation and tax-savings estimates.

Local Processing

Property information accessed by the extension is processed locally within your browser. The extension does not transmit property information to Maven's servers or third-party services for these calculations.

Personal Information

Maven Instant-Seg does not require a user account and does not request or collect your name, email address, telephone number, physical address, Social Security number, or other personal identifiers.

Browsing Activity

The extension does not track your browsing history, monitor your activity across websites, or collect information from unrelated browser tabs.

3. How Information Is Used

The information accessed by Maven Instant-Seg is used solely to:

• Identify relevant property details from the active Zillow or Redfin listing.
• Calculate estimated depreciation allocations and potential tax savings.
• Display the resulting estimate within the extension.

The extension does not create customer records, automatically submit consultation requests, or enroll users in marketing communications.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Maven Instant-Seg does not transmit the property information it processes to Maven or third parties.

Because the extension does not collect or maintain personal-information records, there is no personal information collected by the extension for Maven to sell, rent, trade, or disclose to advertising partners.

The extension does not share browsing history or calculation details with advertising networks or data brokers.

This section describes the extension's data practices and does not govern information separately collected through Maven's website or other products.

5. Chrome Extension Permissions

Maven Instant-Seg uses the following Chrome browser permissions to provide its functionality:

• activeTab: Allows the extension to access the property listing in the active browser tab when the user invokes the extension.
• scripting: Allows the extension to read relevant property details from the page and display calculated results.

These permissions are used to provide the extension's property-estimation functionality and not to monitor unrelated browsing activity.

6. Data Security and Storage

Property calculations are performed locally within the user's browser.

The extension does not maintain a Maven-hosted database of property calculations or personal information collected through the extension.

Although Maven uses privacy-conscious design practices, users should continue to follow ordinary browser and device security precautions.

The privacy practices of Zillow, Redfin, Google Chrome, and other independently operated services are governed by their respective privacy policies.

7. Data Retention and User Control

Maven Instant-Seg does not retain submitted calculation information in Maven's customer databases.

Users may stop using or uninstall the extension at any time through their browser's extension-management settings.

Information independently maintained by the websites visited or by the browser itself is not controlled by Maven Instant-Seg.

8. Children's Privacy

Maven Instant-Seg is intended for real estate investors, property owners, tax professionals, and other users researching property depreciation.

The extension is not directed toward children under 13, and Maven does not knowingly collect personal information from children through this extension.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Maven may update this section to reflect changes in extension functionality, data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

Any updates will be published on this page, with the revision date updated as appropriate.

Privacy Policy for Maven REPS Hour Tracker · Original Effective Date: May 20, 2026 · Last Updated: October 12, 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

Maven Cost Segregation Tax Advisors ("Maven," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This section explains how the Maven REPS Hour Tracker Chrome Extension collects, processes, stores, uses, and protects information when providing real estate professional activity tracking and reporting services.

Maven REPS Hour Tracker allows users to record real estate activities, maintain time-entry records, track progress toward the 750-hour requirement associated with Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), and generate documentation for their records.

This section applies specifically to the Maven REPS Hour Tracker Chrome Extension and the information it exchanges with the associated Maven REPS account.

Our main website, Maven Instant-Seg Chrome Extension, and Maven Cost Segregation ChatGPT plugin are covered by separate sections of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Maven REPS Hour Tracker is an account-based service that synchronizes user-submitted time entries with the associated Maven REPS account. Depending on how you use the service, we collect and process the following information.

A. Account and Authentication Information

To create or access your account, we may process:

• Email address.
• Authentication credentials, such as a securely hashed password or an OAuth authentication identifier.
• Account identifiers and information necessary to maintain authenticated sessions.

The extension uses the same account as the Maven REPS web application available through MavenCostSeg.com. Passwords are not stored in plaintext.

B. Time Entries and Property Information

When you record activities through the extension, we collect the information you submit, including:

• Date of the activity.
• Hours and minutes recorded.
• Property name or identification entered by the user.
• Activity description.
• Start and stop times, where applicable.
• Optional evidence links or supporting URLs attached by the user.

This information is associated with your Maven REPS account and synchronized with our backend infrastructure so it can be accessed and managed through the service.

C. Local Timer and Session Information

To support uninterrupted time tracking, the extension may store certain information locally on your device using Chrome's local storage functionality. This may include:

• Active timer start time.
• Current activity description.
• Selected property.
• Timer state.
• Authentication session information necessary to maintain access to your account.

Local storage allows the timer to continue functioning when the extension popup is closed or the browser is restarted.

D. Browser Activity and Optional Evidence Links

Maven REPS Hour Tracker does not monitor your general browsing history or continuously track the websites you visit.

The extension may access the URL or title of the active browser tab only when you explicitly choose to attach that information as evidence supporting a time entry.

The extension does not collect unrelated page contents or monitor browsing activity for advertising purposes.

E. Advertising and Analytics Tracking

The Maven REPS Hour Tracker Chrome Extension does not contain third-party advertising, marketing, or analytics tracking SDKs.

Information collected through the extension is not used to create advertising audiences or track users across unrelated websites.

3. How We Use Your Information

Information collected through Maven REPS Hour Tracker is used to provide and maintain the requested time-tracking functionality. Specifically, we use this information to:

• Authenticate users and maintain account access.
• Create, save, update, and synchronize time entries.
• Associate activity records with the appropriate properties.
• Maintain active timers and restore timer sessions.
• Display recorded hours and activity history.
• Calculate progress toward the 750-hour REPS threshold.
• Generate reports and exports for users' records.
• Maintain the security, reliability, and functionality of the service.
• Respond to support requests and address technical problems.

Information collected through this extension is not used for third-party advertising, behavioral profiling, or unrelated promotional marketing.

Maven REPS Hour Tracker is a recordkeeping tool. Its calculations and reports do not independently establish a user's eligibility for Real Estate Professional Status under applicable tax law. Users remain responsible for maintaining accurate records and consulting qualified tax professionals about their specific circumstances.

4. Data Sharing and Service Providers

Maven does not sell, rent, or trade personal information or time-entry records collected through Maven REPS Hour Tracker. Information may be processed by the following authorized recipients when necessary to operate the service.

Maven Personnel
Authorized Maven personnel may access information when reasonably necessary to provide customer support, investigate technical issues, maintain the service, or fulfill authorized user requests.

Authentication and Database Providers
Maven REPS Hour Tracker uses Supabase and its underlying cloud infrastructure to support authentication, account management, and secure storage of synchronized time entries. These providers process information to deliver the functionality requested by users.

Technical Infrastructure Providers
Hosting, infrastructure, and security service providers may process limited information necessary to operate and protect the service.

Legal Requirements
Maven may disclose information when required by applicable law, valid legal process, or other legally binding obligations.

Maven does not share REPS Hour Tracker time entries or account information with advertising networks or data brokers for marketing purposes.

The privacy practices described here apply to the REPS Hour Tracker service and do not automatically govern the Maven website or ChatGPT plugin.

5. Chrome Extension Permissions

Maven REPS Hour Tracker requests specific browser permissions to support its functionality.

• storage: Allows the extension to save authentication session information and active timer data locally so user sessions and timers can persist when the extension popup closes or the browser restarts.
• alarms: Allows the extension to support timer functionality and background scheduling associated with active activity tracking.
• activeTab: Allows the extension to access information about the active browser tab when a user explicitly requests to attach the tab's URL or title to a time entry.
• tabs: Allows the extension to retrieve relevant tab information when needed to support the optional evidence-link feature.

These permissions are used to provide the features described above.

The extension does not use these permissions to monitor general browsing history, collect unrelated page contents, or deliver targeted advertising.

6. Data Security

Maven uses technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information processed through Maven REPS Hour Tracker. These measures include:

• Encrypted Connections: Communications between the extension and Maven's backend infrastructure occur through encrypted HTTPS connections.
• Password Protection: Passwords are not stored in plaintext.
• Database Access Controls: Supabase Row-Level Security (RLS) policies are used to restrict access to account-specific information.
• Access Restrictions: User records are intended to be accessible only to the associated user and appropriately authorized personnel or service providers when necessary.
• Extension Code Integrity: The extension's JavaScript code is included in its published package rather than downloaded and executed as remote application code.
• Local Session Storage: Local timer and session information is maintained using Chrome's extension storage mechanisms.

Although Maven implements safeguards designed to protect user information, no electronic system can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their devices, browser accounts, and authentication credentials.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Account and Time-Entry Records

Time entries and associated account information are generally retained while a user's Maven REPS account remains active. This allows users to maintain historical activity records and generate documentation relevant to their real estate activities.

User-Initiated Deletion

Users may delete individual time entries or clear recorded entries through available account functionality. Users may also request deletion of their Maven REPS account and associated personal information by contacting info@mavencostseg.com.

Account Closure and Legal Retention

When an account is deleted, Maven will process the deletion of associated personal information and time-entry records in accordance with applicable law and its operational retention procedures.

Certain information may be retained where legally required or otherwise permitted, including records necessary to address legal obligations, security incidents, or outstanding disputes. Residual information in routine system backups may remain until the applicable backup-retention cycle expires.

Local Information

Users may remove locally stored extension information by uninstalling the extension or clearing its stored data through supported browser controls. Removing locally stored information does not necessarily delete synchronized records held in the associated Maven REPS account.

Privacy Requests

Users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of eligible personal information by emailing info@mavencostseg.com. Requests will be reviewed and fulfilled in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

8. User Choices and Controls

Maven REPS Hour Tracker allows users to control the information they submit and maintain through the service. Users may:

• Choose which activities and properties to record.
• Edit or delete time entries through available service functionality.
• Decide whether to attach optional evidence links.
• Review recorded hours and export available records.
• Stop using or uninstall the Chrome extension.
• Request account deletion or assistance with privacy-related matters.

Users should avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in property names, activity descriptions, or evidence links.

9. Children's Privacy

Maven REPS Hour Tracker is intended for adult real estate investors, property owners, and individuals maintaining records relevant to professional real estate activities.

The service is not directed toward children under 13 years of age.

Maven does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this service.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact info@mavencostseg.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion when required.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Maven may update this section periodically to reflect changes in extension functionality, data-handling practices, security measures, or applicable laws.

Any updates will be published on this Privacy Policy page, with the revision date updated as appropriate.

Where required by applicable law, Maven may provide additional notice concerning material changes.
