5. Telephone Calls and Text Messages
If you provide your telephone number, you authorize the Linda Rea Team and its representatives to contact you regarding your inquiry, requested services, properties, events, or related real estate matters.
Where you have provided appropriate consent, communications may include calls or text messages sent using automated technology. Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us using the information at the end of this policy.
Opting out of marketing text messages will not prevent us from contacting you when necessary to respond to a current request or communicate about an active transaction, to the extent permitted by law.
6. Property Search and MLS Services
The Website may contain or link to property listings, home-search tools, MLS information, or other real estate services operated by Real Estate One or another third-party provider.
When you use an embedded or linked property-search service, the provider may collect information directly from you under its own privacy policy. Information submitted through these services may be shared with the Linda Rea Team so we can respond to your request, provide property information, or assist with your real estate needs.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party property-search service you use.

These parties may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services or fulfill the applicable purpose.
We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of advertising cookies and pixels may be treated as “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws.

We may use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, and similar tools to understand Website usage, evaluate marketing campaigns, and deliver or measure advertising.

11. Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers and extensions provide privacy preference signals, including Global Privacy Control. Where legally required and technically supported, we will process recognized browser-based opt-out signals as required by applicable law.

- Maintain client and business relationships

When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. Material changes may also be communicated through the Website or another appropriate method.
Your continued use of the Website after an updated policy becomes effective indicates your acknowledgment of the revised policy.
