Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, the website and its service providers may automatically collect limited technical information, including your Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, date and time of access, general geographic area, cookie information, and website performance, security, and error information.
Information from third parties
We may receive information from services you choose to use through the website, including scheduling platforms, real estate search tools, embedded videos, social media platforms, analytics providers, and other service providers. Information you provide directly to a third-party service is also governed by that service’s privacy policy.
2. How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- Respond to questions and requests
- Contact you about real estate services
- Schedule and manage consultations
- Provide property, neighborhood, school, or market information
- Assist with buying, selling, leasing, or investing inquiries
- Maintain records of communications and consent
- Operate, improve, secure, and troubleshoot the website
- Measure website traffic and understand how visitors use the website
- Prevent fraud, spam, misuse, and security incidents
- Comply with legal, regulatory, brokerage, professional, and recordkeeping obligations
- Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
- Send marketing communications when permitted by law and consistent with your choices
We limit the collection and use of personal information to information reasonably necessary for these purposes.
3. Calls and Text Messages
If you provide a telephone number and affirmatively consent to calls or text messages, you authorize Tawnya Marney to contact you at that number regarding your inquiry, requested services, scheduling, properties, market information, and related real estate services.
Calls or texts may be made manually or through service providers used to manage communications. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing any property, product, or service.
You may withdraw consent to text messages at any time by replying STOP. You may request assistance by replying HELP or by contacting us through the Contact page. You may also ask not to receive calls during any telephone conversation or through the Contact page.
We may send a final confirmation message after an opt-out request. Opting out of marketing communications does not prevent necessary communications relating to an active transaction, appointment, legal obligation, or request that you initiated.
4. Email Communications
If you provide an email address, we may use it to respond to your request and send information related to services in which you expressed interest.
Marketing emails will include an appropriate method for unsubscribing. You may also request removal through the Contact page. We will process valid opt-out requests as required by applicable law.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not prevent service-related communications concerning an active transaction, appointment, contract, or request.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website operation, security, fraud prevention, preferences, website performance, traffic measurement, analytics, and embedded videos, maps, property searches, school searches, and other third-party features.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the operation of certain website features.
Where required by applicable law and technically supported, we will honor recognized browser-based opt-out signals relating to the sale of personal data or targeted advertising.

These third parties may collect information when their tools load or when you interact with them. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. A link to or inclusion of a third-party service does not mean that we control or are responsible for that service’s privacy practices.

Service providers are permitted to use information only for the services they perform or as otherwise allowed by law and their agreements.

We do not use personal information to make automated decisions that determine a person’s eligibility for housing, lending, insurance, employment, education, health care, criminal justice services, or basic necessities.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, maintain business and communication records, complete or document a real estate transaction, satisfy brokerage and legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and prevent fraud.
Information may remain in secure backups for a limited period after deletion from active systems.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information.
No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You submit information through the website at your own risk and should avoid transmitting highly sensitive information through general website forms.

To submit a request, use the website’s Contact page or contact us through the telephone number published on that page. Include enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity and understand your request.
We may request additional information to verify your identity. We will use verification information only to process the request.
An authorized agent may submit a request when permitted by law, but we may require proof of the agent’s authority and verification of the consumer’s identity.
If we deny a request, you may appeal by contacting us again through the Contact page and clearly labeling the request “Privacy Appeal.” We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.
12. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the website may not respond to every Do Not Track signal.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a different universal opt-out signal, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that signal.
13. External Links
The website may link to websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the content, security, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party website before submitting personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, services, providers, business practices, or legal requirements.
The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the website after an updated policy is posted constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
