1. Introduction

ZingThis, LLC, doing business as ZingRally (“ZingRally,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our Services.

ZingRally is a property tax sale surplus recovery service operating under ZingThis, LLC — a Maryland limited liability company. ZingRally assists former property owners in identifying and reclaiming unclaimed surplus funds held by county governments and the Maryland State Comptroller resulting from tax sales. All recovered funds are paid directly from the county or state to the former property owner. ZingRally earns a contingency-based service fee of 10% of the recovered amount, due only upon successful recovery.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Services. By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services.

ZingRally operates separately from ZingThis LegacyLoop. This Privacy Policy governs ZingRally services only. For ZingThis LegacyLoop privacy practices, please visit zingthis.com.

1.1 Service Overview

ZingRally provides property tax sale surplus recovery services including:

  • Researching and identifying unclaimed tax sale surplus funds held by Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee county Finance Departments and equivalent state agencies on behalf of former property owners
  • Locating former property owners entitled to unclaimed surplus funds
  • Assisting former property owners in completing and submitting claims to the appropriate county Finance Department or the Maryland State Comptroller’s unclaimed property program
  • Earning a contingency-based service fee from the recovered amount as agreed in a signed Client Service Agreement — no upfront cost to the client

ZingRally makes no guarantee of recovery. Surplus fund availability and eligibility depend on individual county records and applicable state law. Former property owners have the right to file claims themselves at no cost through their county Finance Department or at claimitmd.com.

ZingRally is a registered trade name (DBA) of ZingThis, LLC. For information about ZingThis LegacyLoop — our creator visibility platform — please visit zingthis.com. The two services are operated separately and governed by separate legal documents.
