# Is my information sold to buildings?

Short answer: never. The longer answer is worth reading, because the reason is structural, not a promise buried in a policy document. Who pays for a service decides who the service works for, and on Fless that is you.
## Who pays Fless
Unlike other sites that sell your data to buildings for lead fees, Fless is paid by you, not buildings. You fund your account with credits for hunts and tours. Buildings never pay us for access to you, so there is no lead-generation business hiding inside your search, and no incentive to widen your exposure to leasing offices.
## What buildings do pay for here
Nothing. Buildings can list themselves on our For Buildings page for free, and the value they get is screened renter inquiries from people who actually asked to tour, not purchased profiles. A model where both sides are listed honestly leaves nothing to sell in the middle.
## Why the business model makes this easy
When a listing site earns money per lead, your information is the product, and every form you fill becomes inventory for someone else to work. Fless has no such revenue line. Selling your data would not just break a policy, it would break the thing you are actually paying for: a search that works for you.
This is also why hunts, not forms, are the unit of work here. A form is a lead waiting to be resold; a hunt is a service you paid for. Everything the agent sends to a building on your behalf exists to get you a tour, not to get you a market.
## How we protect your inbox
We never sell your data to buildings, and we protect your inbox from aggressive follow-ups, spam, and surveys. Buildings you tour with get what they need to confirm your visit, and that is where their access ends. A building you never confirmed a tour with never learns who you are at all.
## The contrast with listing sites
Listing sites list apartments, sell your info to buildings, and make you do all the work of finding an apartment. Fless works for you: we contact buildings, verify availability, and schedule tours. You do not search; you show up to see actual units for rent and move in when you find the one that is perfect for you.
## Where to see it in practice
Start a hunt and watch the flow: matches appear in your dashboard, buildings respond to us, and tour invitations wait for your confirmation. At no point does your information travel anywhere you did not send it.
