Privacy policy

Your information, handled carefully

Effective October 4, 2026. This policy explains how My Funds Advocate LLC ("My Funds Advocate," "we") collects, uses and protects personal information.

Information we collect

  • From public records: names, property addresses, case or record numbers, and surplus amounts from court, county and other government records.
  • From data providers: current contact information (such as mailing address, phone numbers and email) used to locate former owners and heirs.
  • From you: what you share through our forms, by phone, by email, or during a notary visit, including identification and documents needed to file a claim.
  • From your browser: basic technical information such as pages visited and device type, used to keep the site working and improve it.

How we use it

  • To find people who may be owed surplus funds and tell them about it.
  • To answer your questions and schedule notary visits.
  • To prepare, file and follow up on claims you authorize.
  • To meet legal, tax and recordkeeping requirements.
  • To honor do-not-contact requests.

When we share it

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to help with your claim or run our business:

  • with the county, clerk, treasurer or court handling the funds
  • with the attorney who represents you, and the notary who visits you
  • with service providers who work for us (for example mailing, phone, data and hosting services), under obligations to protect it
  • when required by law or to protect rights and safety

Sensitive information

We never ask for Social Security, bank or account numbers by phone, text or email. When such information is required to file a claim or receive funds, it is collected in person on the official forms and shared only with the parties who need it.

Calls, texts and letters

We contact people about surplus funds by mail, phone, and with consent by text. You can ask us to stop at any time by telling us, emailing help@myfundsadvocate.com, calling (914) 444-2537, or using our stop-contact form. Reply STOP to any text to opt out of texts.

Security and retention

We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information and keep it only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.

Your choices and rights

You may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where the law allows. Residents of some states have additional rights under state privacy laws. Contact us to make a request.

Children

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when it last changed.

My Funds Advocate is a private company, not a government agency, court or law firm. We do not give legal or tax advice. You can claim surplus funds yourself, at no cost, by contacting the county, clerk or court that holds them. Our fee is a percentage of the funds recovered, never more than state law allows, stated in writing before you sign, and paid only if funds are recovered; we cover filing costs and attorney fees, and your total cost never exceeds the agreed percentage. When a court filing or other expert help is needed, we hire and pay an attorney or other expert to handle it. Amounts shown in public records may change because of liens or other claims, and no recovery is guaranteed.
