Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected on brettsellsflorida.com (the "Site"). The Site is operated by Brett Adams, a licensed Florida real estate agent with RE/MAX Advance Realty ("we," "us," or "our"). The Site includes the pages at brettsellsflorida.com and its blog. Visitors who arrive from brettsellsmiami.com are redirected here and covered by this policy.

Some tools linked from the Site, including the property search and the home value estimate, run on a separate RE/MAX platform at advancerealtymiami.com. That platform has its own privacy policy, which applies when you use those tools. The free probate book is offered through navigatingprobate.com, which also has its own policy.

Information we receive

Information you choose to share. When you book a call, send a message, email, or text, we receive what you choose to share, typically your name, phone number, email address, and anything you write about your situation or property. You are never required to provide sensitive information through the Site.

Information collected automatically. The Site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use it. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects general information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, the type of device and browser you use, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Google Analytics does not give us your name or contact details. Our web host also keeps standard server logs, which record IP addresses, timestamps, and the pages requested, for security and troubleshooting.

The Site does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media trackers.

How information is used

• To respond to you, schedule calls, and answer questions.
• To provide real estate services you ask for, including buying, selling, probate, and divorce related transactions.
• To understand which pages are useful and improve the Site.
• To keep the Site secure and comply with the law.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Calls and text messages

If you provide your phone number, you agree that we may call or text you about your inquiry, including by automated or prerecorded means. This may include follow up messages, market updates, and information about our services, sent through a messaging platform used to manage communications.

Consent to receive automated messages is not a condition of buying or selling a home or of receiving any service. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.

To stop receiving text messages, reply STOP to any message. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at (305) 439-4395 or brett@brettsellsflorida.com. To stop calls, just let us know and your number will be removed.

When information may be shared

Information may be shared in limited situations, such as with:

• Service providers that help run the Site and our business, such as our web host, Google (for analytics), and the email, text messaging, and scheduling platforms used to communicate with you. They may process information only to provide their services.
• RE/MAX Advance Realty, our brokerage, when you become a client, as needed to handle a transaction and as required by Florida real estate law.
• Parties to a transaction, such as lenders, title companies, inspectors, and attorneys, when you ask us to work with them or a transaction requires it.
• Legal authorities, when disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights or someone's safety.

Cookies and your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google's own privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy. The Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals because there is no common standard for them.

Your privacy choices

You can ask what personal information we have about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, subject to any records that must be kept under Florida real estate law and brokerage policy. Email brett@brettsellsflorida.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are a California resident, you have these same rights under California law, and we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined there.

How long information is kept

Inquiry information is kept as long as needed to respond to you and for a reasonable period afterward in case you follow up. Transaction records are kept as required by Florida law and brokerage policy, generally at least five years. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics settings, currently 14 months.

Security

The Site uses HTTPS, and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No website or email system is completely secure, so please do not send highly sensitive information such as Social Security numbers or financial account numbers through the Site or by email. If documents like that are needed, we will let you know how to deliver them safely.

Children

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Links to other sites

The Site links to other websites, including the RE/MAX property search, Google, Amazon, navigatingprobate.com, and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
