- Information You Provide: Name, email address, phone number, company name, and specific property criteria submitted via our HubSpot online inquiry or listing alert forms.

- Responding to your inquiries, scheduling property tours, and executing transactions.
- Analyzing website traffic to improve our online experience and performance.
3. Sharing and Disclosing Your Information
- No Monetary Selling of Data: We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal customer information, names, or email addresses to third parties for monetary compensation.
- Service Providers & Third Parties: We share data with trusted vendors that help run our business, specifically Google Analytics (for traffic reporting) and HubSpot (for email automation, form processing, and customer relationship management). These vendors are contractually bound to safeguard your data.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety and rights of our firm and clients.
4. Cookies and State-Specific Tracking Rules
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies deployed by our third-party vendors.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect data on user behavior and demographics. To learn how Google uses this data, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.
- HubSpot Tracking: HubSpot places cookies on your device when you interact with our forms to track your return visits and help personalize our property matching services.
- California & Multi-State Compliance: Because we use third-party analytics and CRM tracking, California law may classify this technical data exchange as "sharing" or "selling" data [CCPA/CPRA Tracking and Advertising Disclosures]. Our website is configured to automatically detect and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser opt-out signals. Visitors can also disable cookies directly via their browser settings.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as your email listing alert subscription remains active, or as required by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) for transaction record-keeping purposes.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your state of residence, you may have legal rights to manage your data. We extend these basic controls to all users:
- Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from listing alerts at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email.
