Information you give us. When you use the contact form we collect:

• Your name and email address
• Your phone number, if you choose to provide it
• Whether you are buying, selling or have questions
• The message you write to us

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may record technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device type and the pages you visit. We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how the site is used. These analytics do not use advertising cookies.

Accessibility preferences. If you change settings in the accessibility menu, your choices are saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. They are not sent to us.

• To respond to your inquiry and follow up about the homes or services you asked about
• To schedule showings, valuations and consultations you request
• To maintain, secure and improve this website
• To meet legal and professional obligations that apply to real estate services

The listings page displays a map from OpenStreetMap. When the map loads, your browser requests map images directly from OpenStreetMap servers, which can see your IP address and browser details. Their handling of that data is described in the OpenStreetMap privacy policy. We do not control third-party sites that you reach through links on this website.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only:

• With Zion Real Estate, the brokerage Hector is affiliated with, to support your transaction
• With service providers who host this website or deliver messages on our behalf, under appropriate confidentiality obligations
• With lenders, title companies, inspectors or other professionals, but only when you ask us to connect you
• When required by law, or to protect our rights, safety or property

We keep inquiry details for as long as needed to respond to you and to meet record-keeping requirements that apply to real estate transactions. After that, we delete or anonymize them.

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can also ask us to stop contacting you at any time. Contact us using the details below and we will respond promptly. You may clear locally stored accessibility preferences by using Reset in the accessibility menu or by clearing your browser data.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive details, such as Social Security or bank account numbers, through the contact form.

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
