Privacy Policy, SMS Messaging & Terms of Use

1. Privacy Policy

Área Co. Real Estate Associates respects your privacy and recognizes the importance of protecting personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains the information we may collect through our website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you regarding communications.

1.1 Information We Collect

When you visit our website, submit a real estate inquiry, request information, or communicate with us, we may collect information including:

• Full name
• Telephone or mobile phone number
• Email address
• Real estate interests and inquiry details
• Buying, selling, investing, or home valuation interests
• Property-related information you voluntarily provide
• Communication preferences
• SMS consent selections
• Submission timestamps and consent records
• Website usage and technical information

1.2 How We Use Your Information

Information submitted through our website may be used to:

• Respond to your real estate inquiry.
• Contact you about buying, selling, investing, or property-related services.
• Provide information about available properties or real estate opportunities.
• Provide home valuation or market information.
• Schedule appointments or consultations.
• Provide requested customer service and support.
• Send SMS communications when you expressly opt in.
• Maintain communication and consent records.
• Operate, maintain, and protect our website.
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

1.3 SMS Consent and Communication Preferences

Área Co. Real Estate Associates offers optional SMS communications for consumers who choose to receive text messages.

By voluntarily selecting the SMS consent checkbox on our website, you agree to receive recurring informational and marketing text messages from Área Co. Real Estate Associates at the mobile telephone number you provide.

Messages may include real estate information, property updates, appointment reminders, market updates, home buying or selling information, and promotional communications.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

Consent to receive SMS messages is not required as a condition of purchasing goods or services.

Submitting a real estate inquiry without selecting the optional SMS consent checkbox does not enroll you in recurring marketing text messages.

1.4 Mobile Information and Data Sharing

Authorized service providers may process information on our behalf when reasonably necessary to operate our business, host our website, provide communication services, deliver text messages, or provide other requested services.

Service providers may only use information as reasonably necessary to perform their services and are subject to applicable privacy and security obligations.

Personal information may also be disclosed when permitted or required by law, including disclosures reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect legal rights.

1.5 Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information submitted through our website.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, bank account information, tax returns, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through the general website contact form.

1.6 Information Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, maintain communication and consent records, and comply with applicable legal or business requirements.

1.7 Your Privacy Choices

You may decline optional SMS consent without affecting your ability to submit a real estate inquiry or request information.

If you previously opted into SMS communications, you may withdraw your consent at any time by replying STOP.

You may also contact us regarding communication preferences or privacy-related questions, subject to applicable law.

1.8 External Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, service providers, property listing services, mortgage providers, notary services, or other external resources.

Those websites may have separate privacy policies and terms. Área Co. Real Estate Associates is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of independent third-party websites.
