Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, city or state, and information relating to your real estate needs.
For prospective buyers, sellers, or relocation clients, this may also include information such as your preferred neighborhoods or geographic areas, property type preferences, purchase price range or budget, desired purchase or sale timeline, general financing or pre-approval status, and whether you are currently working with another real estate professional.
We may also collect information that you provide through website forms, Meta/Facebook or Instagram lead forms, email, text messages, telephone conversations, property-search tools, or other communications.
We do not request Social Security numbers, online banking credentials, credit card numbers, or similar highly sensitive financial information through our standard website or advertising lead forms.
Usage Data and Device Information
Certain information may be collected automatically when you use our website.
This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring website, time spent on pages, general website activity, unique device identifiers, and diagnostic information.
If you access the website using a mobile device, we may also receive information about the type of device, operating system, mobile browser, and similar technical data.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, analyze traffic, measure advertising performance, and improve the user experience.
Some cookies may be necessary for basic website functionality. Other technologies may help us understand how visitors interact with the website or evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Third-party services, including analytics and advertising providers, may also use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
You may be able to limit or disable cookies through your browser or device settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
How We Use Personal Information
We may use information we collect to provide and maintain our website and real estate services; respond to inquiries; understand your home-buying, home-selling, or relocation goals; send property recommendations or curated listings based on your stated preferences; schedule consultations, property tours, or appointments; communicate with you regarding your inquiry; provide relevant market or real estate information; improve our website, services, advertising, and customer experience; analyze website usage and marketing performance; maintain appropriate business records; prevent fraud or misuse; and comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Submitting an inquiry or lead form does not obligate you to purchase a property or use our real estate services.
Facebook, Instagram, Google and Other Advertising Platforms
We may advertise through platforms such as Meta, including Facebook and Instagram, Google, or other digital advertising services.
If you submit information through a Facebook, Instagram, Google, or other third-party lead form, the applicable platform may provide the information you submit to us.
We may use that information to respond to your inquiry, understand your real estate needs, send relevant property recommendations, and communicate with you about real estate services you requested or expressed interest in.
The third-party platform’s collection and processing of information is governed by its own privacy policies and terms.
Advertising platforms may also use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to measure advertising performance or help deliver relevant advertising.
Depending on applicable privacy law, certain disclosures involving advertising technologies may be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information even if no money is exchanged.
Where required by law, we will provide applicable opt-out choices.
IDX, MLS and Property-Search Services
Our website may use third-party IDX, MLS, property-search, home-valuation, or similar real estate technology.
When you search for properties, save searches, request information, or register for property updates, information may be processed by these service providers on our behalf.
Those providers may also have their own privacy policies governing their technology and services.
Communications
If you provide your phone number or email address, we may contact you regarding your inquiry and related real estate services.
Communications may include property recommendations, updates regarding your home search or sale, appointment or showing information, market information relevant to your inquiry, and responses to questions you submit.
Where you have provided appropriate consent, we may contact you by telephone, text message, or email.
Consent to receive communications is not a condition of purchasing a property or service.
Message and data rates may apply to text messages.
You may request that marketing communications stop at any time by replying STOP to a text message, using an unsubscribe option where available, or contacting us directly.
How We Disclose Personal Information
We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to provide services or operate our business, including to eXp Realty and applicable brokerage service providers; website hosting and technology companies; CRM providers; email, telephone, and messaging platforms; analytics and advertising providers; IDX, MLS, and property-search technology providers; lenders, inspectors, attorneys, title companies, closing professionals, contractors, or other real estate service providers when requested or reasonably necessary in connection with a transaction; and governmental or regulatory authorities when required by law.
Service providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf.
We may also disclose information with your consent or at your direction.
Business Transactions
If all or part of our business is reorganized, transferred, merged, sold, or otherwise acquired, information maintained by the business may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, maintain business or transaction records, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and support legitimate business purposes.
Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
