11.3 Residents of Other States With Comprehensive Privacy Laws

If you reside in a state that has enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy law (including but not limited to Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Tennessee, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Rhode Island), you may have rights similar to those described in Section 11.2, including rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling activities. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in Section 14.

11.4 Arizona Residents

As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, the State of Arizona has not enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy law. Arizona residents are protected by the following:

(a) A.R.S. § 18-552, which requires businesses to notify Arizona residents within 45 days if their unencrypted personal information has been compromised in a security incident, and to notify the Arizona Attorney General and the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies when a breach affects more than 1,000 Arizona residents; (b) The Arizona Consumer Fraud Act, A.R.S. § 44-1521 et seq., which prohibits deceptive business practices; (c) Sector-specific federal laws, as described in Section 12.

Even where not required by statute, Sechrest Properties will honor reasonable requests from Arizona residents to access, correct, or delete their personal information, consistent with our legal record-keeping obligations.

11.5 Opt-Out Preference Signals

Where required by applicable state law, including for residents of California, Colorado, and Connecticut, the Site honors recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). When the Site detects a valid GPC signal, it will treat that signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for the browser and device from which the signal is transmitted.

12. Applicable Federal Privacy Laws

Real estate services intersect with several federal privacy and consumer protection frameworks. The following federal laws are relevant to Sechrest Properties or to the third parties with whom we share information:

(a) Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and FCC rules, which govern telephone calls, text messages, and automated dialing technology; (b) CAN-SPAM Act, which governs commercial email and requires accurate sender identification and a working opt-out mechanism; (c) Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which applies to financial institutions, including the lenders and title companies with whom we may work, but which generally does not apply to real estate brokerages; (d) Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing transactions and advertising; (e) Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which restricts data collection from children under 13; (f) Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), which governs certain settlement service relationships and restricts kickbacks and unearned fees among real estate, lending, and title service providers.

13. Additional Provisions

13.1 Do Not Track

The Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret them. The Site does honor recognized opt-out preference signals as described in Section 11.5.

13.2 Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The Site may link to or embed content from third-party websites and platforms, including but not limited to MLS listings, mortgage calculators, mapping services, Google reviews, YouTube videos, Instagram feeds, and lender partners. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and Sechrest Properties is not responsible for their privacy practices or the content they provide.

13.3 Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with Arizona Department of Real Estate record-keeping rules (which generally require licensees to retain transaction and brokerage records for at least five years under A.R.S. § 32-2151.01), satisfy other legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete, destroy, or de-identify it.

13.4 International Users

Sechrest Properties is based in the State of Arizona, United States, and processes personal information in the United States. Some of our service providers may process data in other locations. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

13.5 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. Material changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on the Site or by email where appropriate. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any update indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
