Oregon Property Brief ("OPB," "we," "us," or "our") publishes practical, source-backed information about Oregon property, land use, housing, permitting, development, and related topics. This page explains how we handle information, the terms that apply when you use our website, emails, products, and services, and the limits of the information we publish.
By visiting https://www.oregonpropertybrief.com, subscribing to Oregon Property Brief, downloading a resource, submitting information, or otherwise using our services, you acknowledge this Privacy, Terms & Disclosures page.
We may collect information you provide directly, including:
your email address and subscription status;
your name, if you choose to provide it;
preferences, survey answers, poll responses, comments, replies, and other information you submit;
information you provide when requesting or downloading a resource;
order, transaction, or product-fulfillment information when you claim or purchase a product; and
communications you send to us.
We and our service providers may also collect certain information automatically, including:
IP address;
browser and device information;
referring page or source;
pages viewed and links clicked;
approximate location derived from an IP address;
email delivery, open, and click information;
cookie, local-storage, and similar technical identifiers; and
diagnostic, security, and fraud-prevention information.
We do not ask readers to submit Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive personal information through ordinary subscription forms, comments, surveys, or replies. Please do not send such information to us.
We may use information to:
provide, operate, and improve Oregon Property Brief;
send newsletters, requested resources, service messages, and other communications;
manage subscriptions, preferences, comments, and reader accounts;
fulfill product claims, downloads, or purchases;
understand which topics, sources, and resources readers find useful;
measure website, email, and campaign performance;
personalize content or organize readers by interests when appropriate;
respond to questions, feedback, source tips, and support requests;
protect our readers, publication, systems, and service providers from abuse, fraud, and security threats;
comply with applicable law and valid legal process; and
enforce our terms and protect our rights.
We may use aggregated or de-identified information for research, analytics, editorial planning, and service improvement where the information does not reasonably identify an individual.
If you subscribe, request a resource, or otherwise ask to receive communications, we may send you Oregon Property Brief emails and related service messages. You may unsubscribe from marketing or editorial emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email. You may also use the subscription-management options provided through our email platform. Unsubscribing from editorial emails may not prevent essential transactional or service communications associated with an active request, account, order, or product delivery. Please do not mark a message as spam if you simply wish to unsubscribe; using the unsubscribe link helps us process your preference accurately.
Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to:
keep the website functioning;
remember preferences;
understand traffic and referral sources;
measure email and website engagement;
improve performance and reader experience;
support security and fraud prevention; and
evaluate campaigns and content.
Where a consent banner or preference tool is available, you may use it to manage non-essential technologies. You can also control cookies through your browser. Blocking some technologies may affect site functionality. Some email clients automatically preload images or block tracking, and privacy features may affect open and location data. Email and website analytics are therefore estimates rather than perfect measurements of individual behavior.
We may share information with service providers that help us operate Oregon Property Brief, such as newsletter and email-delivery platforms, website hosting providers, analytics providers, file-delivery and storage services, payment and transaction processors, security providers, and professional advisers. Oregon Property Brief currently uses Beehiiv to support publication, subscription, website, email, analytics, and digital-product functions. Beehiiv processes information under its own applicable terms and privacy practices in addition to acting as a provider to publishers. We may also disclose information:
when you direct or authorize us to do so;
to complete a requested transaction or deliver a requested resource;
to comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or valid legal process;
to investigate fraud, abuse, security threats, or violations of these terms;
to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of OPB, our readers, service providers, or others; or
as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the publication, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal requirements.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not knowingly provide personal information to unrelated third parties for their own independent direct-marketing purposes. Some privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale; readers may contact us with questions or applicable requests.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain legitimate business and editorial records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce agreements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. No website, email system, storage service, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. You use online services with that understanding.
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To submit a privacy request, email [email protected] with the subject line Privacy Request. Describe the request and the email address associated with your subscription. We may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. We will respond as required by applicable law. You may also unsubscribe directly through any OPB email and manage available subscriber preferences through Beehiiv.
Oregon Property Brief is intended for adults and professionals interested in property, land use, housing, and development. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and address the situation.
OPB frequently links to government agencies, statutes, rules, court materials, local records, maps, reports, professional resources, news coverage, and other third-party websites. A link does not mean that OPB controls, guarantees, endorses, or continuously monitors the third party. Third-party content, availability, accessibility, privacy practices, and security may change without notice. Review the applicable terms and privacy policies of any third-party service you use. Links to official sources are provided to help readers inspect the underlying material. They do not establish that a source applies to a particular property, transaction, project, jurisdiction, or set of facts.
Oregon Property Brief provides general informational and educational content. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, appraisal, brokerage, title, lending, underwriting, insurance, surveying, engineering, architectural, environmental, land-use-planning, permitting, construction, or other professional advice. Nothing published by OPB creates an attorney-client, broker-client, adviser-client, fiduciary, consultant, or other professional relationship. Receiving an email, downloading a resource, submitting a comment, or communicating with OPB does not create such a relationship.
Property outcomes depend on the specific parcel, jurisdiction, code, application, evidence, timing, agency interpretation, infrastructure, title record, access, water, septic, environmental conditions, financing, insurance, and other facts. OPB does not determine or guarantee that:
land is a lawful parcel or buildable;
a proposed use is permitted or feasible;
an application is complete or will be approved;
a permit, land-use decision, financing, title condition, insurance policy, utility connection, or construction path will be available;
a map, database, staff statement, checklist, timeline, or public record is complete or current; or
a transaction, project, investment, or development will achieve a particular result.
Always verify material facts directly with the appropriate government agency, qualified professional, source document, and transaction team before relying on them.
We work to provide careful, source-backed information, but laws, rules, agency guidance, maps, local practices, records, deadlines, links, and factual conditions can change. Content may become outdated after publication. We do not warrant that every item is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. Publication dates and any "verified through" dates are important. Readers should check the latest official source before acting. If you believe OPB has made a material error, email [email protected] with the subject line Correction Request, identify the article and statement, and include the best available supporting source. We may correct, clarify, update, annotate, or remove content when appropriate.
If you submit a comment, response, source tip, question, testimonial, document, image, or other material, you represent that you have the right to provide it and that doing so does not violate another person’s rights, confidentiality obligations, privacy, or applicable law. Do not submit confidential client information, nonpublic transaction details, privileged communications, protected personal data, trade secrets, or material you are not authorized to share. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, submissions are non-confidential. You retain ownership of your original material, but you grant OPB a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to review, store, reproduce, edit, summarize, quote, and publish the material for editorial, operational, and promotional purposes. We will use reasonable judgment regarding attribution and privacy, but you should clearly state any attribution request or sensitivity when submitting information. We may moderate, decline, edit, or remove submissions at our discretion. We are not obligated to publish or respond to a submission.
You agree not to:
use the website or services unlawfully or to harm others;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
interfere with website, email, product, or security functions;
submit malicious code, spam, fraudulent information, or abusive content;
scrape, harvest, or collect subscriber or user information without authorization;
impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;
remove ownership, copyright, attribution, or rights notices; or
use OPB content or branding in a way that falsely suggests endorsement, partnership, or professional approval.
We may restrict or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the publication, readers, service providers, or others.
Unless otherwise stated, Oregon Property Brief owns or licenses the original text, graphics, downloads, branding, layout, and other original materials it publishes. Government documents and other third-party materials remain subject to their own ownership and use rules. You may:
link to OPB articles;
forward an OPB email to colleagues or clients;
quote a short excerpt with clear attribution and a link to the original; and
use a downloaded checklist or resource for your own internal, personal, or client-support purposes, subject to any specific terms accompanying that resource.
You may not, without prior written permission:
republish a full article or downloadable resource;
sell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute OPB content;
remove OPB branding or attribution from a resource;
create a substantially similar competing publication or product by systematically copying OPB content; or
use OPB content, trademarks, or design assets in advertising or promotion that implies endorsement.
Permission requests may be sent to [email protected].
Product descriptions, prices, availability, file formats, and fulfillment methods may change. Free resources may require an email subscription or other information clearly disclosed at the point of claim. You are responsible for confirming that a resource is appropriate for your purpose and for obtaining parcel-specific or professional advice where needed. Digital resources are informational tools, not determinations, certifications, inspections, reports, approvals, or professional work products. Any paid product, sponsorship, referral, affiliate relationship, or promotion will be subject to the terms presented with it and applicable law. OPB will seek to identify material sponsorships, paid placements, or affiliate relationships clearly. Editorial coverage is not for sale, and payment does not guarantee favorable coverage.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website, newsletters, products, downloads, and services are provided "as is" and "as available." OPB disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, OPB and its owner, contributors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, loss of data, project delays, transaction losses, or decisions made in reliance on the website, newsletters, products, downloads, or linked sources. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, liability will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless OPB and its owner, contributors, service providers, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the services, your violation of these terms, or material you submit in violation of another person’s rights.
These terms are governed by applicable laws of the State of Oregon and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be handled in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to any rights or procedures that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive. Before filing a claim, you agree to make a good-faith effort to contact us and describe the issue so the parties can attempt an informal resolution. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or exercising non-waivable legal rights.
We may update this Privacy, Terms & Disclosures page as our publication, services, technology, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or newsletter when appropriate. Your continued use of the services after an update means the revised terms apply to future use, subject to applicable law.
