Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us and information collected automatically when you use our site.

• Contact form submissions: name, email address, phone number, and the contents of any message you send us.
• Property inquiries: details about properties you ask about, search criteria you save, and showing requests.
• Account and profile data: if you create an account, the credentials and preferences associated with it.
• Automatically collected data: IP address, browser and device information, referring URLs, and pages viewed, gathered through analytics tools.
• Cookies and local storage: small data files used to remember preferences, keep you signed in, and measure site performance.

How We Use Your Information

• Respond to inquiries you submit and follow up on properties of interest.
• Send property alerts, saved searches, and other updates you have requested.
• Operate, maintain, and improve site performance and user experience.
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including California real estate licensing requirements and Multiple Listing Service (MLS) rules.
• Send marketing communications you have opted into, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.

Information Sharing & Disclosure

We share personal information only as described below:

• Service providers: hosting, analytics, email delivery, and data providers such as MLS partners (e.g., Realtyna) who process information on our behalf under contractual confidentiality obligations.
• Legal and regulatory disclosure: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Allan Real Estate Investments, our clients, or others.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

Allan Real Estate Investments does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use a small number of cookie categories:

• Essential cookies: required for site functionality, including authentication and security.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
• Preference cookies: remember settings such as saved searches and map views.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended without them.

Our site does not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals, as no consistent industry standard for DNT has been finalized.

Data Retention

We retain inquiry and contact information only as long as needed to respond to you and to satisfy our legal and recordkeeping obligations. Account data is retained until you request deletion of your account.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through the site or by other reasonable means.
