6. Calls, Text Messages, and Email Communications
When you submit a form, click a text-message link, request information, request a valuation, request a guide, request a showing, or otherwise contact us, you authorize us to contact you using the information you provide.
We may contact you by phone, text message, email, or similar communication methods regarding your inquiry, real estate services, property information, market information, appointment scheduling, follow-up, and related opportunities.
Consent to receive marketing calls, texts, or emails is not a condition of purchasing property, selling property, or using our services. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP, where applicable, or by contacting us directly. You may opt out of marketing emails by using an unsubscribe link where provided or by contacting us.
Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send non-marketing messages related to an active inquiry, transaction, appointment, service request, legal notice, safety matter, or administrative issue.
8. Property Search, IDX, MLS, and Real Estate Data
Our website may display property listings, market data, home search tools, neighborhood information, valuation tools, or other real estate information supplied by MLS, IDX, public records, third-party vendors, or property data providers.
If you use property search, save a search, request property information, click on a listing, request a showing, or submit a valuation request, we may collect and use information related to your activity so we can respond, provide relevant property information, improve your experience, and assist with real estate services.
Property information may be subject to MLS rules, data-provider terms, display restrictions, copyright protections, accuracy limitations, and update delays. We do not guarantee that all listing, valuation, availability, school, tax, square footage, pricing, or market information is complete, current, or error-free.

State-Specific Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under state privacy laws. These laws may apply only to businesses that meet specific thresholds. If a state privacy law applies to us and to your request, we will respond as required by that law.
How to Submit a Privacy Request
To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information at the bottom of this policy. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. Verification may require matching the information you provide with information we already maintain.
10. Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no website, database, transmission, CRM, email system, text-message system, hosting provider, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use online services with the understanding that security risks cannot be fully eliminated.
11. Information Retention
We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, provide services, respond to inquiries, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business operations.
Retention periods may depend on:
- The type, sensitivity, and amount of information.
- The reason the information was collected.
- Whether you are an active lead, customer, client, prospect, agent contact, or transaction party.
- Legal, tax, accounting, brokerage, MLS, regulatory, or recordkeeping requirements.
- Potential disputes, claims, fraud prevention, or security needs.
12. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us Personal Information, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
13. Third-Party Websites, Platforms, and Services
Our website may link to third-party websites, tools, platforms, forms, MLS/IDX services, social media pages, payment services, scheduling tools, map tools, or embedded content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third parties.
If you interact with a third-party website or service, your information is governed by that third party’s own privacy policy and terms.
14. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers or devices may send “Do Not Track” signals or provide global privacy controls. Because there is not yet a uniform legal or technical standard for all such signals, our response may vary depending on the tool, browser, jurisdiction, and legal requirements that apply.

StressFree Realty is based in the United States. If you access our website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from those in your country.
