Privacy Policy

What information do we collect?

This privacy policy explains what information Georgia Landbuyer collects when you use our website or apps and how we use that information to provide services. We collect data you directly give us and technical information gathered automatically to deliver, improve, and secure our services.

Georgia Landbuyer collects information you provide when you subscribe to our newsletter, complete a contact or property form, request an estimate, or submit property details for sale or evaluation. These forms and submissions help us evaluate properties, respond to inquiries, and deliver the specific services you request.

Personal information you may provide includes your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and property details (for example: property address, photos, description, mortgage or lien information). You may also give optional details such as preferred contact times or account information. If you prefer assistance or have questions about the information we collect, see the Contacting Us section of this privacy policy for how to reach us.

Technical information that we and our service providers may automatically collect includes IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and cookies. We use these technical details to make sure the website and apps work correctly, to improve user experience, and to maintain security. Examples of information collected automatically include your browser version, device operating system, and anonymous usage statistics.

What do we use your information for?

This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect to deliver and improve our services, communicate with you, and complete transactions related to your property. Below are the primary ways we use your personal information, with concrete examples so you can make informed choices about your data and review related sections of this privacy policy such as Information shared and Contacting Us.

  • To evaluate and manage property requests. We use property details, photos, and financial information you provide to assess properties, prepare offers, and manage real estate transactions (for example: determining a fair offer, verifying ownership, or coordinating inspections). Example: we may review photos you submit to estimate repair needs when preparing an offer.
  • To process transactions and paperwork. When you agree to sell or engage our services, we use contact information and account details to complete contracts, coordinate closings, and fulfill our obligations (for example: preparing agreements, sending settlement instructions, and keeping transaction records). These records help us comply with legal requirements and maintain accurate transaction histories.
  • To communicate with you. We use your email address, phone number, and mailing address to respond to inquiries, send requested information, confirm appointments, and provide customer support. For example, we may use your email to send status updates about an offer or to reply to a property valuation request. See the Contacting Us section if you need assistance or wish to update your contact information.
  • To send marketing and informational messages. With your consent where required, we may send periodic emails about our services, promotions, or helpful resources. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our messages or by visiting the Manage communication preferences section of our website. Managing preferences is described in this privacy policy and in our privacy notice.
  • To improve our website, apps, and services. We analyze aggregated and technical data (for example: browser type, IP address, device identifiers, and cookies) to make sure the website and apps work correctly, to improve user experience, and to tailor content and features to users’ needs. Example: aggregated usage data helps us identify pages that need performance improvements.

We do not sell your personal information. Your personal information will not be sold, exchanged, or otherwise transferred to outside parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent, except to trusted service providers who act on our behalf to deliver the services you request (for example: title companies, escrow agents, payment processors), or when required by law to comply with a legal process. If you want to know more about information shared with third parties or to exercise privacy rights under applicable privacy laws, please consult this privacy policy’s Information shared and Contacting Us sections. Non-personally identifiable, aggregated information may be shared with partners for marketing or analytics.

How long we keep your information: This privacy policy explains that we retain contact and transaction records for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by record type and legal requirement—for example, transactional and closing records may be kept longer to satisfy tax, real estate, or regulatory requirements. If you have questions about specific retention periods or would like to request deletion of your personal data, please see the Contacting Us section of this privacy policy for instructions and verification steps.

Legal basis and user controls: Where applicable under privacy laws, our lawful bases for processing personal data include your consent, performance of a contract, and our legitimate business interests (such as fraud prevention and improving services). To make sure your preferences are respected, you may update your contact information, opt out of marketing communications, or request access to your data by contacting us. To exercise privacy rights (for example: access, correction, deletion, or restriction), provide your name, email address or phone number, and a description of your request so we can verify and respond in accordance with applicable timelines.

How do we protect your information?

This privacy policy explains the steps Georgia Landbuyer takes to protect the personal information and personal data you provide when using our website, apps, and services. We combine technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to reduce risk and promote data privacy and data protection.

  • Encryption in transit and at rest. We protect information transmitted between your browser or app and our systems using HTTPS/TLS. Where appropriate, we also encrypt stored data to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Access controls and authentication. Access to personal information is limited to authorized employees, contractors, and service providers who need the data to perform their job duties. Accounts and administrative access are protected by strong authentication and role-based permissions to help ensure security.
  • Secure service providers and infrastructure. We work with trusted third-party providers (for example: hosting, payment processors, and CRMs) that maintain appropriate security practices and contractual commitments to protect data and support our privacy policies.
  • Monitoring, testing, and incident response. We regularly monitor systems, perform security testing, and maintain incident response procedures. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will follow applicable privacy laws, notify affected users and regulators as required, and take steps to remediate the issue.

We also maintain administrative safeguards such as employee training on privacy and security policies, background checks where appropriate, and least-privilege access to reduce risk. While we make every effort to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable. You can help by protecting your account credentials, using strong passwords, and making sure your contact details are up to date.

If you suspect unauthorized access to your account or have concerns about data security, please contact us immediately via the Contacting Us section of this privacy policy (for example, email privacy@georgialandbuyer.com) so we can investigate and respond promptly.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

This privacy policy explains how and when we disclose information to others. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we share personal information with trusted third parties when necessary to operate our business, deliver the services you request, or comply with the law. Below are examples of recipient categories, why we share information with them, and how we protect your privacy when information is shared.

  • Service providers and vendors. We share contact information, account details, and transaction data with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting providers, CRMs, payment processors, email delivery services, and analytics vendors. These partners are contractually required to protect your information and may only use the data to perform services for Georgia Landbuyer (for example, a payment processor to complete a closing or an email vendor to deliver a receipt).
  • Real estate and transaction partners. To complete property evaluations, offers, and closings, we may share property details and contact information with title companies, escrow agents, closing attorneys, contractors, or other parties involved in a transaction. Sharing with these parties is necessary to deliver the requested services and finalize transfers with someone else when applicable.
  • Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose personal information when required by law, in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Georgia Landbuyer, our users, or others.
  • Business transfers. If Georgia Landbuyer is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such cases we will require the buyer to honor the terms of this privacy policy or will notify you of changes in ownership and choices regarding your information.

Non-personally identifiable or aggregated visitor information (for example, usage statistics, pages visited, and anonymized analytics) may be shared with partners, advertisers, or analytics providers for marketing, advertising, and site improvement purposes. Before sharing, we make sure such data cannot reasonably be used to identify a specific person.

If you want to know which categories of third parties have received your personal information, to request the information we shared about you, or to opt out of certain sharing where applicable under privacy laws, please contact us using the Contacting Us section of this privacy policy. To request a list of recipients, include your name, email address, and a description of the information you are requesting so we can verify your identity and respond in accordance with applicable timelines and privacy rights.

Third party links

From time to time we may include or offer third‑party products, services, widgets, or links on our website. These third‑party sites and apps operate independently and have their own privacy policies and practices; Georgia Landbuyer is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of those external sites. Please review a third party’s privacy policy before providing personal information on a linked site.

Before submitting personal information on a linked site or interacting with embedded content (for example, maps, video players, or social widgets), check the third party’s cookie settings and privacy policy. Embedded content or links may set cookies or otherwise collect information about your visit, and that collection is governed by the third party’s policies—not this privacy policy.

If you encounter a third‑party link that appears to collect personal data without adequate notice, or if you have concerns about any linked site, please contact us using the Contacting Us section so we can review the link and take appropriate action. We welcome feedback that helps us protect the integrity of our site and improve user experience.

Remarketing

Georgia Landbuyer and our advertising partners may use third‑party marketing and remarketing technologies to promote our services and show relevant ads to people who have visited our website or used our apps. These technologies commonly rely on cookies and similar tracking tools to remember visits and to present ads on other websites and platforms.

What this means: third‑party vendors (for example, Google) may place cookies or other identifiers in your browser or app so that ads for our services can be shown to users based on prior visits. To our knowledge these cookies do not attach your name or direct personal identifiers to the ad; they are used to show ads based on behavior such as pages viewed or forms started but not completed.

Types of cookies and tracking we use (examples):

  • Marketing/remarketing cookies — used to deliver ads based on your visits and interests.
  • Analytics cookies — used to collect aggregated information about site and app usage so we can improve our services and website performance.

How you can opt out or manage cookies: you can manage cookie settings in your browser or device. Common browser steps include:

  • Chrome: Menu > Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data (then block or clear cookies).
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data (or block cookies in settings on iOS).
  • Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data (then clear or block cookies).

You can also opt out of many interest‑based ads by visiting providers’ opt‑out tools (for example, Google Ads Settings). Note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how our website and apps function. For details, see our cookie notice and this privacy policy.

Examples and additional detail: we may use Google Ads remarketing to show ads to users who visited specific pages (for example: property listing pages or contact forms) across sites in Google’s Display Network. Other third‑party companies may place cookies or similar technologies to tailor advertising or measure ad performance. Any data collected by these vendors will be used in accordance with their privacy policies as well as this privacy policy.

If you have questions about the cookies or tracking technologies used on our websites or apps, or if you want help disabling advertising cookies, please contact us via the Contacting Us section. We will provide guidance on how to manage or opt out of remarketing and related user data collection.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

Georgia Landbuyer respects your privacy and takes steps to comply with applicable U.S. state privacy laws. This privacy policy describes our practices for residents of California and other U.S. states. We have implemented procedures to address California privacy requirements (including rights under the CCPA/CPRA where applicable). In particular, we will not distribute your personal information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent, except as described elsewhere in this privacy policy (for example, to complete a transaction or to comply with legal obligations).

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise specific privacy rights afforded under California law—such as the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, or the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (if applicable)—please contact us using the Contacting Us section. When you submit a request, identify your U.S. state (for example, California) and the specific privacy rights you wish to exercise. We will verify your identity and respond to verified requests in accordance with applicable privacy laws and timelines.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our website, apps, products, and services are intended for people aged 13 and older, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as required by law. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information can contact us to request deletion or to raise concerns; see the Contacting Us section for details on how to submit and verify such requests.

For questions about how we handle privacy under applicable privacy acts and privacy laws, or to learn more about your privacy rights, please see the Contacting Us section or consult the privacy notice on this page. We may update these compliance statements as laws evolve; if we make material changes that affect California residents or minors, we will update this policy and, where required, provide additional notices.

Personal, Financial, And Property Information

As a real estate services business, Georgia Landbuyer may request certain personal data to evaluate your situation and provide our services. This privacy policy explains the categories of information we may collect directly from you through our website and apps, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

Financial information — When necessary to analyze a transaction or complete a closing, we may request mortgage, lien, payoff, or other financial details. This sensitive information is handled with enhanced security and is retained only as necessary to provide our services and to comply with legal obligations.

Examples of why we collect this information include: valuing a property using photos and condition notes, preparing contracts based on account and contact information, or verifying payoff amounts as part of closing paperwork.

It does not apply to information collected offline (for example, by phone, in person, or through third‑party sources) unless we state otherwise. If you provide information offline, we treat it in accordance with the practices described in this policy and applicable laws; contact us to learn how we handle offline information.

If you would like to request access to, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to learn more about the categories of information collected and how we use it, please see the Contacting Us section. To request deletion, you can email privacy@georgialandbuyer.com and include your name, email address or phone number, and a brief description of the request so we can verify your identity and respond in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our retention schedules.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our information practices, legal requirements, or services. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Last updated” or effective date at the top of the policy.
