Privacy Policy

My Privacy policy addresses the question “What information do I collect and how do I use it?” This privacy policy is for information derived from the website http://www.palmdalerealestate.net only, not information contained in documentation from real estate contracts or other home purchase paperwork that we complete in the course of a normal Palmdale or Lancaster, CA real estate transaction. Please understand that I will never sell your personal information. I hold my current and potential real estate clients information with great regard for their safety and security. Rest assured that I have your best interests in mind. The agency relationship created by contract, between my Palmdale and Lancaster, CA real estate buyer and real estate seller clients, means that I owe a fiduciary responsibility to you my clients and will safeguard your information to the utmost. I owe you, my Palmdale real estate clients a duty beyond fair and honest dealing.
When you submit your information to the website through contact forms, I need to obtain some of your personal information such as name, phone number, e-mail address, possibly the address of your current Palmdale or Lancaster real estate or mailing address. I will never sell, trade, or rent the personal information you give me to anyone else for any reason.
I must, and do provide aggregate user metrics to my third party marketing agencies for the purpose of improving the website user experience. This in no way means that I am letting out your personal information though. The information disseminated to the third parties does not include the names and or contact information submitted through the online contact submission forms. The information given to third parties is strictly things like how long certain visitors to the website were on each page, and the website as a whole. We track what search terms were used to find the website palmdalerealestate.net and which buttons or website pages each user clicked on thereafter, and for how long they were on each page. User metrics are simply an important part of me helping to improve your user experience and interface with the website. It is ultimately my goal to get you the information that you are searching for as quickly and efficiently as possible. We all dislike spam (myself expecially) and excessive computer tracking and I respect that, and would never do to someone else what I wouldn’t have done to myself. The point of my website traffic tracking also known as user metrics is that I never give out any information that could identify you personally.
I use the personal information that you submit to me only for the purpose of helping you with the Palmdale or Lancaster, CA real estate interest you have. I keep track of what your interest is by entering into my secure computer system, your personal information such as name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, and any other contact information. I couple the contact information with specific details of your property searches and requests. I can send you listings of homes or properties that you are interested in, by automated messages. If I know you are looking to buy a three bedroom, two bathroom house on the west side of Palmdale, and in the Rancho Vista neighborhood near the golf course for example, I can have my computer system automatically e-mail you new listings from the MLS immediately when they come on the market. This is just good business and if you are in the real estate market for such a property, I’m sure you wouldn’t find this a bother. Any time you wish to opt out of my e-mail marketing campaign that you may be in you can click “unsubscribe” at the bottom of the e-mail and you will not receive any further communication from my automated system.
I use “cookies” to collect information to better your website experience and for the benefit of all users of the website. Cookies are small files that I transfer to your computers hard drive in order to track your interaction with the website.
