Welcome to my web site.
Your privacy is very important to me. The purpose of
this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) is to describe what Personal Information (as
defined below) and other information may be collected from
you and how it may be collected.
This policy, described herein, is consistent with but
separate from the RE/MAX Privacy Policy. Upon your
request you will be provided with a complete copy of the
RE/MAX privacy Policy.
Further, this Privacy Policy defines the collection
and use of personal information by me both directly and via
my web site.
Except as otherwise discussed in this Policy, this document
only addresses the use and disclosure of information
collected from you through my Services. For some services, I
may collect and transfer Personal Information to a service
provider, or you may visit other sites or service providers
through third-party links in my Services, who may collect
and use your Personal Information for other purposes. I
encourage you to review the privacy policies of these
third-party sites before you disclose your Personal
Information to others.
It should be clearly understood that your personal
information collected by me from my web site as described
below will not under any circumstances be sold to any other
person, party or company.
If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do
not use my Services.
Third parties
This Policy does not apply to information collected by third
parties, such as when you visit a third party website, or
interact with online advertisements. Please take a moment to
review the privacy policies of third-party sites before you
disclose your Personal Information to them, as we disclaim
responsibility for their actions with regard to your
information.
Information collected
I may collect personal and other information about you when you
use my Services, as described below. “Personal Information”
is information about an identifiable individual, such as
their name, mailing address, email address, or phone number,
whether used alone, or when combined with other personal or
identifying information which is linked or linkable to a
specific individual. I typically collect Personal
Information and other data from you, and use that
information as set forth in this Policy or otherwise
communicated to you from time to time (subject to your
consent when required by applicable laws).
When you register or sign up for my
Services
You may register for my Services in order to save searches, sign
up for alerts, access my real estate resources, and for
other features which may be added from time to time. You may
be registered for my Services automatically when you contact
RE/MAX regarding a property or inquire about my Services. If
you register for my Services, I collect Personal Information
such as your first and last name, email, user name, password
and any other Personal Information required on the
registration form/process. If you wish, you may provide me
with your phone number and a postal code. I primarily use
this information to provide information you have requested,
manage and correspond with you, send you information and
newsletters related to real estate markets and/or other
information I think may interest you, and for other matters
described in this Policy.
Newsletters, Inquiries and Emails
I may offer newsletters and/or other communications to share
information with you about real estate, helpful guides and
information, and other topics or offers in which I believe
you may be interested. You may sign up to receive
information about a property or to join my general mailing
list. If you inquire regarding a property, I will contact
you regarding that or related properties to the extent
related to your inquiry. In addition, if you indicate that a
property is one of your “favorites,” you may automatically
be placed on a list to receive email updates regarding that
property.
