Privacy Policy
We collect the least we can, we use it only to work your claim, and we do not sell it. This page explains that in detail.
Last updated .
What we collect
When you use the form on this site we collect the details you type into it: your name, your phone number or email address, the county your claim relates to, the code from your letter if you have one, your relationship to the claim, and any message you write.
Separately, before we contact anyone, we use information that is already public — county records of tax sales and surplus funds — along with commercial address and contact databases of the kind banks and insurers use. We do not obtain or use credit reports, and contacting you has no effect on your credit.
Locating the right person sometimes means telling apart several similarly named people. To do that we may hold a limited amount of information about people other than the claimant— for example a date of birth or age, a date of death where the person named has passed away, previous addresses, or the names of relatives and others connected to a record. We use it only to confirm identity and to work out who may be entitled to make a claim, and we keep no more of it than that requires. If you appear in our records only as somebody else's relative, you can ask us what we hold and ask us to delete it — see Your choices below.
What we do with it
- Confirm whether a claim in your name exists, and what it is worth.
- Contact you about that claim, in the way you asked us to.
- Where permitted, assist with documenting and submitting the claim to the office holding the funds, if you sign an agreement asking us to.
- Keep records we are required to keep.
We do not use your information to market unrelated products, and we do not add you to a mailing list.
Who we share it with
Your information goes to the government office where your claim is filed — and only what that office requires — and to the service providers who help us operate and work claims. Those providers fall into these categories:
- Website hosting and form providers
- Customer-relationship and case-management systems
- Cloud storage, backup, IT and security providers
- Email and communication providers
- Electronic-signature and document providers
- Skip-tracing and public-records data providers
- Contractors who assist us with claims
- Notaries
- Attorneys, where a claim requires one
- Government agencies and courts
A provider receives only what is reasonably necessary to perform that service for us, and may use it only for that purpose. We never hand your information to a service provider for their own marketing. We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect our legal rights.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone, for any purpose. We do not share it with data brokers, lead buyers, or other recovery companies.
What we never ask for
We do not ask for your bank account number, your card number, or a payment of any kind — not before, during, or after a claim. If anyone contacts you claiming to be Boomerang Equity and asks for money or banking details, it is not us. Please tell us at claims@claimboomerang.com.
We do not ask for a Social Security number when you first contact us. Some government offices require taxpayer-identification information or a government ID later in order to process a claim. If that point comes, we will explain exactly what is required, why, and give you a designated secure method for sending it. Please do not send identity documents, a Social Security number, or other sensitive information by ordinary email or through the form on this site — wait until we ask and use the method we provide.
How long we keep it
We keep claim records for as long as we need them to work the claim, and afterwards for as long as we are required to keep them to satisfy legal, tax, and record-keeping obligations or to resolve disputes. Where you never became a client, we keep inquiry records only for as long as they are useful for that purpose. If you ask us to close your file and delete what we hold, we will do so except where we are required to keep something — and we will tell you if that applies.
Your choices
- Ask us what we hold about you, and we will tell you.
- Ask us to correct anything that is wrong.
- Ask us to delete your information and stop contacting you.
- Ask us to stop mailing you, and we will remove you from future mailings.
To do any of these, email claims@claimboomerang.com or write to us at 4200 Regent St Ste 200, Columbus, OH, 43219. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under your state's privacy law; tell us and we will honor them.
Cookies and analytics
This site sets no advertising cookies and runs no third-party advertising or tracking scripts. Fonts are served from this site rather than a font network, so loading a page here does not report your visit to anyone else.
Security
Information you send through this site is transmitted over an encrypted connection, stored with providers who maintain their own safeguards, and access is limited to the people working your claim. We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect it.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. That is why sensitive identity documentation should be sent only through the designated secure method we provide when we ask for it. If something goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you.
Changes
If we change this policy we will change the date at the top. Material changes affecting people with open claims will be sent to them directly.
Who is responsible, and how to reach us
This site and the recovery service described on it are operated by Boomerang Equity LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company trading as Boomerang Equity.
Questions, requests, or complaints about privacy — including any of the choices above — go to claims@claimboomerang.com, or by post to Boomerang Equity LLC, 4200 Regent St Ste 200, Columbus, OH, 43219. A person answers these; it is not an unmonitored mailbox. See also our Terms of Service.
