Privacy, terms, disclosures and fair housing

Privacy notice

When a visitor submits the contact form, the site may collect name, phone, email, language preference, service interest, message, page source, submission time and technical information used for spam prevention. The information is used to respond to the inquiry, maintain transaction or business records and protect the site. It should not be sold.

The provided code sends form content through the hosting server’s PHP mail function to clareparkrealtor@gmail.com. Email is not guaranteed to be end-to-end encrypted. Visitors should not submit bank credentials, Social Security numbers, wire instructions, government identification or other sensitive data through the form.

The static package does not install analytics, advertising pixels or nonessential cookies. If those tools, a CRM, IDX platform, chat widget, call-tracking system or newsletter provider are added, update this notice with the provider, data purpose, retention, sharing and opt-out method before launch.

• Collect only information voluntarily submitted or needed for security
• Use inquiry data to respond and maintain legitimate records
• Update the notice whenever tracking or third-party services are added

Text, phone and email consent

By submitting a contact request, the visitor asks Clare Park or the responsible brokerage to respond about the inquiry by phone, text or email. Consent is not a condition of buying property or services. Message and data rates may apply. The visitor may request that nonessential text messages stop.

The package does not send automated marketing messages. Before adding automated, recurring or promotional SMS, obtain legal and brokerage review, use compliant consent language, preserve consent records and provide required opt-out instructions.

• Response consent is limited to the visitor’s inquiry unless expanded lawfully
• Do not add automated promotional SMS without a reviewed compliance process
• Honor opt-out requests and maintain accurate communication records

The availability of Korean-language service is intended to improve communication and does not limit service to any group.
