Privacy Policy

How FoundMoneyNow collects, uses, and safeguards your information across our public forms, secure client portal, uploaded documents, and claim filings with government agencies.

Last updated: September 20, 2026

1. Overview

FoundMoneyNow (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an asset recovery firm that helps individuals, heirs, and property owners locate and recover unclaimed funds, tax and foreclosure surplus, and estate assets. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who may access it, and the choices available to you. It applies to this website, our free confidential review form, our secure document upload page, and our client portal. By using our services, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways:

  • Information you provide through public forms. When you request a free confidential review, you may share your name, phone number, email address, city, state, the service you are interested in, and any details you include in your message, along with your opt-in choices for email and text communications.
  • Information you provide through the client portal. If you become a client, we create a secure portal account tied to your email address. Through the portal you may submit and receive messages, view claim status, and upload documents such as government-issued photo identification, proof of address, and supporting claim evidence.
  • Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate region, and pages visited, in order to keep the site secure and functioning.

Public submissions and sensitive claim documents are handled separately. Please do not email personal identification or financial documents to our public inbox. Use the secure upload page or your client portal instead.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiry and conduct a free, confidential review of available records;
  • Verify your identity and your legal right to the funds in question;
  • Prepare, file, and track claims on your behalf;
  • Communicate with you about your claim by phone, email, or text message, if you have opted in;
  • Maintain secure client records and case files inside our internal case management system;
  • Protect against fraud and comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for third-party marketing purposes.

FoundMoneyNow LLC does not sell or share your personal information. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

4. Public Submissions vs. Secure Portal

Our public contact form is intended for initial inquiries only. It is not a secure channel for sensitive documents. Government photo ID, Social Security numbers, bank details, probate records, and similar materials should be submitted only through the secure document upload page or your password-protected client portal, where they are stored with access controls.

Information submitted through the public form is treated as an inquiry and managed by our staff in our internal case management system. Sensitive documents uploaded through the portal are restricted to authorized staff and the client who owns them.

5. Client Portal Accounts

Client portal accounts are created by FoundMoneyNow staff when you become a client. Each account is protected by a password you control, and access to your claims, messages, and documents is limited to you and authorized staff. Server-side controls prevent one client from accessing another client’s information.

For your security, portal sessions sign out automatically after a period of inactivity. You may change your password at any time from within the portal. Keep your login credentials private; you are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

6. Uploaded Documents

Documents you upload through the secure upload page or client portal are used to verify your identity and support your claim. Files are validated for type and size, stored in protected storage, and made available to authorized staff for claim preparation and filing. We retain documents for as long as needed to pursue your claim and to meet recordkeeping obligations, and we remove or delete them upon a verified request where legally permitted.

We accept common document formats (PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP) up to 10 MB each. Please do not submit more information than is requested for your claim.

7. Internal Case Management

FoundMoneyNow uses an internal case management system to organize inquiries, claims, properties, funds, partners, agencies, documents, tasks, and activity history. Access to records within this system is restricted to authorized staff based on role. The system helps us track your claim from first contact through final payment while preserving a complete, accurate record of the work performed.

8. Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, remember preferences, and understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use cookies to identify you personally or to build advertising profiles. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; some site features may be affected if cookies are disabled.

Any analytics we use are limited to aggregate, non-identifying information about site traffic and performance.

9. Email and Text Notifications

With your consent, we may send you email or text message notifications about your claim, including status updates, document requests, and important deadlines. You can opt out of non-essential messages at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in a message or by contacting us. We will continue to send essential case-related communications as needed to pursue your claim.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information using access controls, secure storage for uploaded documents, and role-based staff permissions. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We limit access to personal and claim information to staff who need it to perform their duties.

If we become aware of a security incident affecting your information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and, where appropriate, notify affected individuals as required by law.

11. Third-Party Service Providers

We work with trusted service providers that help us operate our website, host data, deliver email, and manage our case management system. These providers are given only the access needed to perform their functions and are expected to protect your information consistent with this policy and applicable law.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and we do not allow third parties to use your information for their own marketing.

12. Government Agencies and Claim Filing

Recovering unclaimed funds, surplus, and estate assets often requires filing claims with government agencies such as state treasuries, county offices, and courts. To pursue your claim, we may share the information and documents necessary to verify your identity and your right to the funds with the agency or court handling your case. We share only what is required to file and support your claim.

FoundMoneyNow is an independent asset recovery firm. We are not a government agency, and this website does not connect directly to any state or county system. References to government agencies describe the recipients of claim filings, not live data connections.

13. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information for as long as your claim is active and for a reasonable period afterward to meet legal, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations. Public inquiry records are retained to respond to your request and to maintain accurate case history.

You may request deletion of your personal information where it is no longer needed and the law does not require us to keep it. To make a deletion request, contact us using the details in Section 16. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and explain any legal reasons we may need to retain certain records.

14. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions;
  • Opt out of marketing or non-essential communications;
  • Withdraw consent for processing that relies on your consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 16. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

15. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
