1. Information We Collect

To effectively evaluate your application for the $6,000+ relocation package and provide you with personalized concierge support, we collect both personal and non-personal data.

Personal Data You Provide to Us

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you fill out forms on our Site, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact our team. This includes:

• Contact Information: Your first and last name, email address, phone number, and current physical mailing address.

• Application & Eligibility Data: Information required to evaluate your eligibility for the relocation incentive, which may include your current employment status, remote work verification, employer name, household size, household income bracket, and your timeline for moving.

• Concierge Preferences: Information you provide to our Relocation Concierge regarding your lifestyle preferences, housing budget (renting vs. buying), hobbies, and family needs (e.g., school preferences or recreational interests) so we can accurately match you with local resources.

• Financial Information: If you are selected and approved for the program, we may securely collect banking routing information or tax documentation (such as a W-9) strictly for the purpose of distributing the cash incentive and reporting to the IRS.

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our Site, our servers automatically record technical information that your browser sends. This may include:

• Your IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system.

• Your navigation paths, the specific pages you view, and the dates/times of your visits.

• Data collected via cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels (such as Google Analytics) to help us understand website traffic and improve the user experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect primarily to administer the relocation program and ensure your successful transition to the Lost Sierra. Specifically, we use your data to:

• Evaluate, verify, and process your application for the Move In! program financial incentives.

• Communicate with you regarding your application status, program updates, and disbursement of funds.

• Provide personalized Relocation Concierge services (e.g., connecting you with local real estate agents, school districts, or community groups).

• Send you our “Lost Sierra Relocation Guide,” waitlist updates, or promotional materials regarding Plumas County (you may opt out of marketing emails at any time).

• Analyze website usage to improve our digital marketing, site speed, and user experience.

• Comply with legal obligations, fulfill tax reporting requirements, and prevent fraudulent applications.

3. How We Share Your Information

We absolutely do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers. Because Move In! Plumas County is a public-private partnership, we only share your information in the following limited circumstances to facilitate the program:

• Local Partners & Concierge Network: With your explicit consent during the application process, we may share relevant preferences with our trusted community partners (e.g., Plumas County Economic Development, the Lost Sierra Chamber of Commerce, or vetted local real estate professionals) only when necessary to fulfill your Concierge service requests or process your “Warm Welcome” local package.

• Program Administration & Service Providers: We share data with third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website securely (e.g., WordPress hosting, CRM software like WPForms/Gravity Forms, and email platforms like Mailchimp). These providers are legally restricted from using your data for any other purpose.

• Program Sponsors: We may share aggregated, anonymized demographic data (e.g., “50 remote tech workers relocated this year”) with our funding partners and municipal boards to report on the economic impact and success of the program.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, in response to a subpoena, to verify program compliance with municipal funding guidelines, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our program and our applicants.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information (such as saving your application progress). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use certain portions of our Site.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement a variety of industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. All sensitive application data supplied is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For example, if you receive the $5,000 relocation incentive, we are legally required to retain certain financial and application records for tax, auditing, and compliance purposes. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Because we operate in California and market to prospective residents, we strictly comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). You have the right to:

• The Right to Know: Request disclosure of the specific pieces and categories of personal information we have collected about you over the past 12 months.

• The Right to Delete: Request the deletion of your personal information from our records, subject to certain legal exceptions (e.g., we cannot delete data if it is required for tax reporting related to your financial payout).

• The Right to Correct: Request corrections to any inaccurate personal data we hold about you.

• The Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be discriminated against in the application process for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 8.
