This privacy policy explains what information sarasotafloridarealestate.org (“the site,” “we,” “us”) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The site is operated by Barbara Stec, a Sales Associate with Keller Williams Realty Select. If you have questions about this policy, email [email protected].

Information you give us

When you use the contact form or the “Ask about this home” form on a listing, we collect the information you enter: your name, email address, phone number (optional), and message, along with the page you sent it from. We also record your IP address and the time of submission to help prevent spam and abuse.

This information is stored in the site’s database and sent by email to the agent so we can respond to you.

Information collected automatically

• Server and security logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider and Cloudflare (our content delivery and security service) automatically log technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the date and time. Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie to protect the site from malicious traffic.
• Practice exam progress. The free practice exam saves your progress and recent scores in your own browser’s local storage. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser’s site data.
• Cookies. The site does not use advertising or analytics cookies. WordPress sets cookies only for site administrators who log in.

Third-party services

To display the site, your browser loads some content directly from these providers, which receive your IP address and standard browser information:

• MapTiler and OpenStreetMap (map images on search and listing pages).
• Cloudflare (content delivery, security, listing photos, and the map library).

How we use information

• To respond to your questions and provide the real estate services you request.
• To operate, secure, and improve the site.
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including real estate record-keeping requirements.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

How information is shared

We share information only as needed to serve you or as required by law: with the agent’s brokerage, Keller Williams Realty Select, for supervision and compliance; with service providers who host the site and deliver email on our behalf; and with authorities when the law requires it.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiry messages as long as needed to respond to you and to maintain a record of our communications, or as required by law. You may ask us to delete your information at any time (see below).

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing [email protected]. You can also ask us to stop contacting you at any time.

Listing information

Property listing information on this site is provided by participants of Stellar MLS and is displayed under the MLS’s IDX rules. It is intended for consumers’ personal, non-commercial use to identify properties they may be interested in purchasing, and it is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised.
