Data Collection and Use
- Contact Forms
When you fill out an inquiry or contact form on our website, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and any additional details you provide. We use this information to respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and keep you informed about our products, services, and new listings. - Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture, if applicable, is visible to the public alongside your comment. - Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from these images. - Cookies and Tracking Technologies
- If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
- When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- Login and screen display choice cookies are also set when you log in, lasting for two days and one year, respectively. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login cookies for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
- If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article, expiring after one day.
- Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited those sites directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site. - Marketing and Sales Communications
By providing your information, you consent to receive marketing communications from us, which may include information about our homes, promotions, events, and updates. You may opt out of these communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link provided in our emails or by contacting us directly. - Data Sharing with Third Parties
We may share your personal information with trusted third parties, such as our preferred lenders and marketing partners, solely to provide services related to your inquiries and interests. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. - Data Retention
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- For registered users, we store personal information provided in the user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their information (except their username). Website administrators can also access and modify user information.
- Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. To make changes or request data deletion, please contact us. Note that some data may need to be retained for legal or security reasons. - Data Security
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no data transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed. - Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review our Privacy Policy regularly.
