Harbur Realty (“Harbur Realty,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit the Harbur Realty website, use our property-search tools, request information, register for an event, download a resource, order a book, or otherwise interact with us online.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Harbur Realty website and related online services that link to this policy, collectively referred to as the “Site.” It does not necessarily apply to information collected independently by third-party websites, applications, real estate professionals, or service providers.

By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Site.

These technologies may be used for:

Essential Functions

Some technologies support basic Site functions, including navigation, security, account access, saved properties, form submissions, fraud prevention, and shopping-cart functionality.

Preferences and Functionality

These technologies may remember settings, search preferences, saved properties, or other choices to improve your experience.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and similar services to understand Site traffic, visitor interactions, and performance.

These providers may collect information about your device, browser, IP address, Site activity, and interactions with our content.

Advertising and Remarketing

We may use technologies provided by Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and other advertising platforms to:

  • Measure advertising conversions
  • Understand whether advertisements resulted in Site visits or inquiries
  • Build advertising audiences
  • Deliver advertisements to previous Site visitors
  • Personalize or target advertisements based on online activity
  • Measure the reach and effectiveness of advertising campaigns

These companies may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers, and related technologies to collect or receive information from the Site and elsewhere on the internet.

Some privacy laws may define certain advertising-related disclosures as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use of personal information for “targeted advertising,” even when no money is exchanged for the information.

Harbur Realty does not sell personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. However, our use of third-party advertising technologies may be treated as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under the laws of certain states.

Managing Cookies and Advertising Preferences

You can usually configure your browser to block, delete, or alert you about cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect Site functionality, saved searches, account features, or other services.

You may also manage advertising preferences through the privacy and advertising settings offered by Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and other advertising platforms.

The Site may not respond to traditional browser “Do Not Track” signals because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to those signals. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid universal opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal as required by law.

4. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances.

Harbur Realty Agents and Affiliated Realtors

We may provide information to Harbur Realty agents and affiliated Realtors so they can:

  • Respond to an inquiry
  • Provide requested real estate services
  • Assist with a property search
  • Arrange a showing
  • Discuss buying or selling a home
  • Prepare a home valuation
  • Follow up regarding a requested service

Agents and affiliated Realtors may operate as independent real estate professionals and may be responsible for their own privacy practices when they independently collect or use information outside Harbur Realty’s systems and instructions.

Providers You Specifically Request

At your direction, we may provide information to a lender, title company, inspector, contractor, mover, senior-living professional, or another provider when you specifically request an introduction, referral, quote, service, or other involvement.

We do not provide visitor information to unrelated preferred vendors merely because they are listed or mentioned on the Site.

Operational Service Providers

We may disclose information to vendors that process information on our behalf or provide operational services, including:

These providers may access information as necessary to perform services for Harbur Realty and may also process information under their own privacy policies when they operate as independent businesses.

Advertising and Analytics Providers

We may disclose online identifiers, device information, Site activity, and advertising-related information to Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and other analytics or advertising providers as described in the Cookies and Similar Technologies section.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law

Information may be disclosed or transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction. Any successor may use the information subject to this Privacy Policy unless otherwise permitted by law.

With Your Consent or Direction

We may disclose information for another purpose when you consent to or direct the disclosure.

5. Email Marketing

When you subscribe to our newsletter, download certain resources, register for an event, make an inquiry, or otherwise request communications, we may send emails concerning:

  • New or updated listings
  • Saved-search results
  • Home-buying or home-selling resources
  • Senior-living and transition resources
  • Events and workshops
  • Books and educational materials
  • Harbur Realty news
  • Services that may interest you

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message.

Even after unsubscribing from marketing emails, you may continue to receive nonmarketing communications concerning an active inquiry, appointment, property search, transaction, order, event registration, or other requested service.

6. Telephone Calls and Text Messages

When you provide a telephone number, you may consent to receive individual telephone calls or text messages from Harbur Realty or an agent responding on Harbur Realty’s behalf.

When separately disclosed and authorized, you may also receive marketing or recurring text messages sent using automated technology.

Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services, entering into a real estate relationship, or using the Site.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

You may withdraw consent to marketing text messages at any time by replying STOP to a message. You may reply HELP for assistance or contact us at rsharbur@gmail.com. We may send a one-time confirmation that your opt-out request has been processed.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

We do not sell mobile telephone numbers or text-message opt-in information. We do not provide text-message opt-in information to unrelated third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing purposes. We may provide this information to communications providers and Harbur Realty agents acting on our behalf to deliver messages, respond to your inquiry, or provide services you requested.

Opting out of marketing text messages does not prevent Harbur Realty or its agents from sending nonmarketing messages that are necessary to respond to a current request or administer an existing transaction, where permitted by law.

  • Social media features

These third parties may collect information directly from your browser or device and may use cookies or similar technologies.

When you follow a link to another website, interact with embedded content, create an account with a third-party service, or submit information directly through a third-party tool, that provider’s privacy policy and terms may apply.

Harbur Realty does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party websites and services.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

9. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use caution when transmitting information online and should not send highly sensitive information through ordinary email or general website forms.

Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to identify the records involved. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity and protect your information from unauthorized access or deletion.

An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may require evidence that the agent has authority to act on your behalf and may also ask you to verify your identity directly.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Certain information may be exempt from a request, including information we must retain to comply with legal obligations, complete a transaction, protect security, prevent fraud, or exercise legal rights.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 18.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted information may contact us at rsharbur@gmail.com.

12. Social Media

Harbur Realty may maintain profiles or pages on social media platforms. When you interact with us through a social media platform, the platform may collect and process information according to its own privacy policy.

When we make changes, we will post the revised policy on the Site and update the “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through another reasonable method when required by law.

Your continued use of the Site after an updated policy is posted signifies your acknowledgment of the revised policy.
