Privacy Policy

To any Site users including but not limited to those from the European Union please note that this Site shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the United States of America and the State of Florida, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. Our Privacy Policy describes the types of Data we collect, what we use this data for and how to remove your data. In addition:

1. We do not store information on our website or in connection with our website for more than 30 days. On or before 30 days of you providing information on our website it is deleted from our website. It may be retained beyond this time frame outside of our website but not publicly accessible or as required by applicable law.

2. We store data only to provide services requested by you.

3. Any additional data that we receive is not stored once a transaction has completed unless we are required by the United States or state law to retain.

4. Any real estate transaction with us requires us to keep records for a minimum of 5 years, some states require longer data retention periods. All information retained to meet the legal requirements of the state or United States Federal Law are stored electronically in a secure location and CANNOT be requested to be removed except by a United States court order. No paper copies are stored at any time. If a paper copy was part of a transaction, it is digitized, and the paper copy is destroyed. After this time, we do not retain records beyond your contact information, transaction history, and your photo.

5. Why do we keep a photo? This helps us to visualize who you are and provide a more personal approach to our services. We do NOT store this information in a public domain.

6. We do NOT share data with anyone outside our company unless specifically permitted by you in writing or as required by State law, United States Federal law or other applicable law. If disclosure is required by these entities, we will attempt to notify you in advance of our disclosure unless we are under a “gag order” or other order by a court.
