PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: March 14, 2024
Welcome to the Privacy Policy for EP Realtor Group ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website, https://www.eprealtorgroup.com/ (referred to as “the website”), and ensuring you understand how we collect, use, maintain, and disclose information we receive from users like you. This policy applies to all users of the website.
Personal Information Collection
At times, we may request personal information from our users. This could occur when a user visits our website, registers on the website, completes a form, participates in a survey, subscribes to a newsletter, or engages in other activities, services, features, or resources we offer on our website. We may ask for personal details such as name/username, email address, mailing address, phone number, or other pertinent information as needed. However, users are welcome to visit our website without divulging any personal information. We will only collect personal information that users willingly provide to us. Users are free to decline to provide personal information, except in cases where it may prevent them from participating in certain website-related activities.
Information Collection that is not Related to Personal Identity
Whenever users interact with our website, we may gather information that does not identify them personally. This non-personal information may comprise the browser name, the type of device or computer used, the operating system, the internet service provider used, and similar particulars. This may also include aggregated, anonymized data about user interactions.
Web Browser Cookies
To improve your experience on our website, we may use “cookies”. These are small files that your web browser saves on your hard drive to keep records and sometimes track your information. You have the option to refuse or be alerted when cookies are being sent by adjusting your web browser settings. However, please note that some parts of the website may not function properly if you choose to do so. We also utilize other tracking technologies, including web beacons, Local Storage, and Session Storage, which function similarly to cookies in collecting usage data and enhancing the user experience.
Third-Party IDX Solution and Other Third-Party Services
Our website may utilize a third-party IDX solution to offer property listings and notifications. While we strive to protect your information, the use of third-party services may call for additional data collection and use practices that are not under our direct control. We encourage users to review the privacy policy of the IDX solution provider to understand their data handling practices. We also utilize the Google Maps API to provide interactive mapping services. Please review Google's privacy policy for details on their data handling practices. We may also use other third-party services, such as analytics providers, payment processors, and marketing platforms, and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

-
Geolocation: We use geolocation data to display properties and nearby amenities.

Marketing (with consent): We may use your information for marketing purposes, such as retargeting on social media platforms like Facebook, but only if you have given us explicit consent to do so. You can manage your ad preferences on those platforms.

How We Protect Your Information
At our website, safeguarding your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and stored data is paramount to us. We utilize appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices coupled with robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your valuable information. However, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure.
Sharing Your Personal Information
Rest assured that we do not engage in the sale, trade, or rental of any personal identification information of our users to any third party for their direct marketing purposes. However, we may share generic demographic information not linked to any personal identification information with our trusted affiliates, business partners, and advertisers solely for the purposes specified above. We may also share information with service providers who assist us in operating our website and providing services to you (e.g., payment processors, analytics providers). We ensure that these third parties are contractually obligated to protect your privacy. We will also disclose information if required by law or legal process.
