Privacy Policy
COLLECTED INFORMATION
Smith & CO Realty will always take privacy seriously. The website automatically collects and stores personal information from your computer or mobile device for purposes of service provision and platform optimization. We will have a lawful basis for data collection, and will maintain strict protocols to ensure data safety and security. Smith & CO Realty will only ask you for the personal information that we deem necessary in order to provide seamless services. Anonymous information is information that cannot be traced back to the individual, whereas identifiable information is information that is specific to an individual user.
Any user must be a human and not a “bot” or other automated methods of acquiring login. The “Account Owner” is considered to be the individual who creates the account and may only be used by one person. Login shared by multiple people is not permitted.
This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, operating systems, device type, browser type, content viewed, Internet services provider (ISP), location information, names and usernames, web pages, and date and time stamps. In addition, you will be asked to provide the information necessary to process your payment when you checkout. Smith & CO Realty may use this anonymous information to analyze trends, administer the services, gather demographic information and improve services to you. Smith & CO Realty does not collect any personal information about you unless willingly provided. Not providing required information can affect the experience or block access or certain features.
In almost all situations, billing information will be processed and captured by third-party vendors, including but not limited to certain payment processors and merchant account providers, and is not captured by Smith & CO Realty. Third-party vendors use in-house compliance according to their own business terms and conditions and privacy policies, that can be reviewed on their websites. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent that Smith & CO Realty may share your personal information and data with any third party with whom we have formal or informal relationship to provide the requested product, service or functionality. By connecting your Smith & CO Realty account to a third-party account, you acknowledge and agree that you are consenting to the continuous sharing of information.
