Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

Budget Leases (“we”, “us”) operates budgetleases.com, a free service that helps renters find the cheapest apartments across Orange County, California. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

Account info. If you create an account, your email address and (optionally) the city you’re searching. Your password is handled securely by our authentication provider — we never see or store it.
Saved data. The searches and listings you save, so we can show them back to you and send the alerts you asked for.
Usage analytics. To see how the site is used so we can improve it, we use Google Analytics and PostHog (product analytics), alongside Vercel Web Analytics. These record the pages you view, the site that referred you, approximate location (city or region, derived from your IP — not precise), device and browser type, and how you move through the site. Google Analytics and PostHog set cookies to do this. We do not use them to build advertising profiles, and we never sell your data.

How we use it

To send you the market report and the saved-search alerts you signed up for.
To operate, secure, and improve the service.
We do not sell your personal information.

Email

Every email we send includes a one-click Unsubscribe and an “I found a place” option. Unsubscribing stops all email from us. We use Resend to deliver email.

Service providers

We share data only with the vendors that run the service, who process it on our behalf: Supabase (database & authentication), Resend (email delivery), Vercel (hosting & analytics), and Google Analytics & PostHog (usage analytics).

Cookies

We use a single authentication cookie/session while you’re logged in, and our analytics providers (Google Analytics and PostHog) set cookies to measure how the site is used. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can block or clear cookies in your browser at any time, or opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Your choices

Unsubscribe from any email at any time (link in every message).
Ask us to delete your account and associated data by emailing us.
Limit analytics with a tracker/ad blocker or your browser’s cookie controls, or opt out of Google Analytics with the opt-out browser add-on.

Listings disclaimer

Budget Leases is a rental tracker and is not affiliated with any listing provider. Prices and availability change frequently — always verify on the original listing.
