Personal information: In this privacy notice, our use of the term “personal information” includes other similar terms under applicable privacy laws—such as “personal data” and “personally identifiable information.” In general, personal information includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated, linked, or linkable with a particular individual.

How We Share Your Personal Information: The information we collect about you and other users on our website is not directly shared with or sold to third parties. The information we collect is used solely to assist us with servicing our users, customers, and clients. The data we collect from third party services is used to understand how users interact with our website so that we can create a better user experience and provide optimized marketing, advertising, and re-marketing. Data that is collected by third party providers (device, geo-location, demographics, etc), such as Google Analytics is anonymously aggregated for analytical purposes and is not directly linked back to any particular user or client. Your IP address may be included in tracking procedures. With regard to Personally Identifiable Information in the forms of name, address, phone number(s), e-mail(s), and social media accounts, only the information that you share directly with our team related to these can be personally linked back to you. Other Personally Identifying Information collected by third party services is used in aggregate to improve and optimize our website.

Indirect Sharing of Personal Information to Third Parties: Our website uses third party plug-ins to perform some of the features on our website. For instance, when you create a search account on our website, this service is provided by a third party, Showcase IDX. Our team does not share information directly with these providers; however, some of your information may be stored or used by these companies in accordance with their own privacy policies. We assume no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any such websites. If you have any concerns with the companies we contract with to perform third party services, please contact us.
