Each Website is operated for the real estate professional, real estate team, brokerage, or other real estate business identified on that Website (the “Real Estate Professional”). TXREsites provides website technology, hosting, maintenance, and related services and may process information in connection with operating and supporting the Website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit or interact with a participating Website, how that information may be used and shared, and the choices that may be available to you.

If you use these features, the applicable IDX, MLS, mapping, or technology provider may collect or process information about your activity in accordance with its own privacy practices.

Email, Telephone, and Text Communications

If you provide contact information through a Website, the Real Estate Professional may use that information to respond to your inquiry or request.

Depending on the information you provide and the communication options available on the Website, a response may be made by telephone, email, text message, or another communication method.

Submitting a general inquiry does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing text messages where separate consent is required by applicable law. Any additional consent language presented on a particular form or communication feature will apply to that interaction.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Participating Websites may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Enable website functionality
  • Remember preferences
  • Maintain website security
  • Measure website traffic
  • Understand visitor interactions
  • Improve website performance
  • Support analytics or marketing activities

Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the operation of certain Website features.

Some Websites may use third-party analytics, advertising, or measurement services. These providers may receive device identifiers, IP addresses, website activity, or similar information according to the configuration of the service and the provider's own privacy practices.

Chat and Artificial Intelligence Features

Some participating Websites may include live chat, automated chat, artificial intelligence-assisted features, or similar communication tools.

Information you submit through these features may be processed by the Real Estate Professional, TXREsites, and technology providers involved in providing the feature.

Automated or AI-generated responses are provided for convenience and should not be considered legal, financial, tax, lending, appraisal, inspection, or other professional advice.

Do not provide highly sensitive or confidential information through a general website chat feature.

How Information May Be Shared

Information collected through a Website may be shared with or accessible to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary:

Sale of Personal Information and Targeted Advertising

Information submitted directly through a participating Website for the purpose of contacting a Real Estate Professional is not collected for the purpose of selling that information for monetary compensation.

Some Websites may use third-party analytics, measurement, or advertising technologies. Depending on the technology used, how it is configured, and the law applicable to a visitor, certain disclosures of online identifiers or website activity may be treated as targeted advertising, sharing, or a “sale” of personal data under certain privacy laws.

Where applicable, visitors may exercise available privacy rights as described in the Your Privacy Rights section below.

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

  • Opt out of certain processing for targeted advertising
  • Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information
  • Opt out of certain types of profiling where applicable
  • Appeal certain decisions regarding a privacy request

These rights are subject to applicable law, verification requirements, exceptions, and limitations.

How to Submit a Privacy Request

To submit a privacy request concerning information provided through a participating Website, use the Contact page or other contact information provided on that Website and clearly state that your message is a Privacy Request.

Please provide enough information to allow the appropriate party to reasonably identify you, locate the relevant information, and understand your request.

The Real Estate Professional, brokerage, TXREsites, or applicable service provider may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

If applicable law gives you the right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal using the same contact method and clearly identify the request as a Privacy Appeal.

Data Retention

Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Maintain customer relationship records
  • Operate and secure the Website

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the reason it was collected, the systems used by the Real Estate Professional or service providers, and applicable legal requirements.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures may be used to help protect information collected through participating Websites.

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, website, or communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should use appropriate care when transmitting personal information online.

Children's Privacy

Participating Websites are intended for a general audience interested in real estate and are not directed specifically to children under 13.

Personal information from children under 13 is not knowingly solicited through participating Websites without appropriate authorization where required by law.

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through a Website, please contact the Real Estate Professional through the contact information provided on that Website.

Do Not Track Signals

Web browsers and devices may offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy settings. Because there is not a single universally accepted standard governing all such signals, participating Websites may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular legally recognized opt-out mechanism, such requests will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, participating Website features, service providers, business practices, or legal requirements.
