Automatically Collected Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our website, including pages visited, time spent on site, general geographic location (city/region level), browser type, and device type. This data does not identify you personally.

We do not collect payment information through this website. Any invoicing or payment processing occurs through a separate, secure platform.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about website usage. This data is aggregated and anonymized — we cannot use it to identify you individually.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. For more information on how Google uses data collected through our site, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies

Our website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — primarily through Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect certain features of the site.

5. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for any related follow-up, or as required by applicable law. Google Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google's data retention settings, which we have set to 13 months.

6. Your Rights (Florida Residents)

As a Florida resident, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, or request deletion of your information, subject to our legal retention obligations. To make any such request, please contact us.

We do not engage in the sale of personal information as defined under applicable Florida law.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for adults seeking professional real estate services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you share with us from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
