05HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
No mobile information will be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
We do not sell your phone number. We do not sell your personal data.
We share information only with service providers who help us operate our business, and only to the extent needed to perform that work. These providers are contractually restricted from using your information for their own marketing. They include:
- Our customer relationship management system (Follow Up Boss)
- Our text and email messaging providers
- Our website hosting, forms, and analytics providers
- Our brokerage, transaction coordination, title, lending, and inspection partners when you are an active client and the information is needed to complete your transaction
We may also disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or when necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.
06COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
Our sites use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and improve performance. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though parts of the site may not work correctly.
We use standard analytics tools to measure traffic and site performance. These tools collect aggregate usage data, not the content of your private communications.
The Follow Up Boss Pixel described in the "Information We Collect" section above is one of these tools. We use the pageview data it collects to understand which pages and content our visitors find useful, to connect site visits to client records in our customer relationship management system, and to decide when and how to follow up with you. We do not use it to sell your information to anyone else.
07DATA RETENTION
We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain our business records, and comply with legal and real estate licensing requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.
08DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
