Compliance & data sources
Last updated July 10, 2026
MoverScan is built on public records and licensed data — never people-search scraping. Here is exactly where every lead comes from, and a plain-language guide to keeping your outreach lawful.
General information, not legal advice. This page explains how MoverScan sources data and the rules that usually apply to outreach — have your own counsel review your data use and outreach before you rely on it. Laws change and vary by location.
Where your data comes from
MoverScan turns publicly recorded home sales into workable leads, hosted on our servers so a scan is one click for you. The tags below are the honest build state — solid means live today, dashed means rolling out.
-
Public county records
Live · in every scanCounty recorders and assessors publish home-sale records as a matter of public record. When you scan a ZIP, MoverScan searches those open datasets and lays out each recent sale — owner name, property address, sale price, sale date, and property type. Deepest coverage today is the Portland metro; every scan is coverage-checked before it runs.
-
Licensed national property data
Rolling outTo take deep coverage national, MoverScan is adding licensed property-data providers under our own agreements with them — the same clean lead format, more counties. Until a ZIP has deep coverage we say so up front, before the scan runs, and it never uses one of your scans.
-
Licensed skip-trace enrichment
Rolling outOptional, paid contact enrichment will call a licensed skip-trace provider to append a phone number and a Do-Not-Call flag to a lead. It runs only when you ask for it on a specific lead, and the result comes under that provider’s license and terms — never from scraping.
-
Manual “Find contact” lookup
Live · freeA Find contact link opens a neutral web search in your own browser so you can look up a number yourself and type it in, with an optional Do-Not-Call flag. MoverScan never auto-fetches it for you — you stay in control and on the right side of each site’s terms.
What MoverScan never does
- Never scrapes people-search or data-broker sites.
- Never fakes coverage — every scan is coverage-checked first, and a ZIP outside deep coverage is flagged before it costs you a scan.
- Never sells, shares, or resells your leads or your account data.
In one of these records and want out? MoverScan reads home sales that county governments publish. If your record appears and you would rather it didn’t, email johnykidhole234@gmail.com with the property address and we will suppress it from customer results.
Using your leads responsibly
Public records tell you a home changed hands. How you reach the new owner is up to you — and it is regulated. Here is a plain-language map of the rules that usually apply to local-business outreach. It is a starting point, not a substitute for your own counsel.
TCPA — calls & texts
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act governs phone calls and text messages — especially autodialed, prerecorded, or AI-voice ones.
- Get the consent the law requires before you call or text — prior express written consent for autodialed or prerecorded/AI-voice marketing.
- Reach people only within allowed hours — generally 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the recipient’s local time.
- Identify yourself and your business, and honor opt-out / STOP requests right away.
- Keep records of consent. Statutory penalties apply per call and per text.
National Do-Not-Call
Before you dial, scrub your list against the registries that apply to telemarketing.
- Scrub call lists against the federal Do-Not-Call Registry and any applicable state registries.
- Keep your own internal Do-Not-Call list and honor requests promptly — typically within 30 days.
- You are responsible for scrubbing — the flag below is a visible cue, not a guarantee.
Not an FCRA consumer report
MoverScan is a marketing and prospecting tool. Its data is not a consumer report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and MoverScan is not a consumer reporting agency.
- Don’t use MoverScan data to decide eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, housing or tenancy, or any other FCRA “permissible purpose.”
- Use it to find and reach prospective customers — not to screen or vet people.
CCPA & state privacy
A growing list of state laws — California’s CCPA/CPRA, plus Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and more — give consumers rights over their personal information.
- Provide the disclosures those laws require, and honor access, deletion, correction, and opt-out requests.
- Check state-specific marketing rules — many states have their own mini-TCPA, calling-time, and Do-Not-Call rules, some stricter than federal.
- Apply the same care to email (CAN-SPAM) and texts, and keep records of consent and suppression.
The fine print
The honest limits of public-records data — read these before you act on a lead.
- Records lag
- County recording and publication can trail a closing by 30–60 days, so a sale may post well after the boxes are unpacked.
- A signal, not a confirmation
- A recorded sale suggests someone may have moved — it doesn’t confirm who lives there now or how to reach them. Verify before you rely on it.
- Not an FCRA report
- MoverScan data isn’t a consumer report and isn’t for eligibility decisions.
- Not legal advice
- This page is general information for your convenience. Laws change and vary by jurisdiction — have counsel review your process.
