We are an online advertising and referral matching platform serving individuals seeking townhome rental information in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida metropolitan area and greater Broward County region.

We are not a licensed real estate broker, sales associate, property manager, or landlord. We do not execute leases, hold security deposits, or provide real estate services requiring licensure under Chapter 475, Florida Statutes. All real estate services are performed by independently licensed Florida real estate professionals.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, we are the “data controller” with respect to personal information you submit through this Site.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect Social Security numbers, financial account information, credit card numbers, government ID numbers, or any other sensitive financial or identification data through this Site.

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies, including:

We may receive information about you from third-party sources, including Google (through Google Ads and Google Analytics), which may provide aggregated or anonymized data about how users interact with our advertisements and Site. We do not purchase personal data about you from data brokers or third-party list providers.

3. How We Collect Information

3.1 Inquiry Forms

The primary method of collection is through inquiry and contact forms on the Site where you voluntarily submit your name, phone number, and email address to request information or a referral to a licensed real estate professional.

3.2 Automatic Collection Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect usage and device data automatically when you visit the Site. See Section 8 for full details on our use of cookies and tracking technologies.

3.3 Google Services

We use Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Google Search Console. These services collect data about your visit to the Site through their own tracking mechanisms. See Section 6 for full details.

If you call the phone number listed on this Site or respond to a text message communication, we may collect information shared during that interaction, including voicemail recordings. See Section 7 for full details.

4.1 To Respond to Your Inquiry

We use your name, phone number, and email address to respond to your rental inquiry, answer questions, and provide you with information about townhome rental options in the Fort Lauderdale area.

4.2 To Facilitate Referrals

With your consent (provided by submitting an inquiry form), we share your contact information with independently licensed Florida real estate professionals who may contact you directly to assist with your rental search. This is the core function of our referral service.

4.3 To Communicate with You

We use your contact information to communicate with you by phone, voicemail, text message, and email regarding your inquiry and related rental services. See Sections 7 and 14 for opt-out options.

4.4 To Operate and Improve the Site

We use automatically collected data to analyze how users interact with the Site, identify technical issues, improve Site performance, and optimize content and user experience.

4.5 To Measure and Optimize Advertising

We use Google Ads and Google Analytics data to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns, understand which keywords and ads bring users to the Site, and optimize our advertising spend to reach individuals genuinely seeking Fort Lauderdale townhome rentals.

4.6 To Comply with Legal Obligations

We may use and retain your information as necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to legal process, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect the rights, property, and safety of the Company, our users, and the public.

4.7 Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal information on the following legal bases:

• Consent: You consent to our collection and use of your information by submitting an inquiry form and by your continued use of the Site;
• Legitimate interests: Operating and improving the Site, measuring advertising performance, and facilitating referrals;
• Legal obligation: Complying with applicable law and regulatory requirements.

5. How We Share Your Information

5.1 With Independently Licensed Real Estate Professionals

When you submit an inquiry through this Site, your name, phone number, and email address may be shared with one or more independently licensed Florida real estate professionals for the purpose of responding to your rental inquiry. These professionals are independent third parties, not employees or agents of the Company. Once your information is shared with a referred professional, their use of your information is subject to their own privacy practices.

5.2 With Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, including:

• Google LLC — analytics, advertising, and search console services (see Section 6);
• Telephone and SMS service providers — for call routing, voicemail, and text message delivery (see Section 7);
• Web hosting and infrastructure providers — for Site operation and security.

These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are contractually required to protect your information.

5.3 For Legal Compliance and Protection

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, legal process, or governmental authority; to enforce our Terms of Service; to detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or the public.

5.4 Business Transfers

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

5.5 We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

The Company does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Referral introductions made through the Site are a core function of our service — not a sale of personal data — and are made with your consent obtained at the time of inquiry submission.

6. Google Services — Analytics, Ads, and Search Console

6.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics collects information about your use of the Site — including pages visited, time on site, referring sources, and approximate geographic location based on IP address — and reports this information to us in aggregated, anonymized form.

Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6.2 Google Ads

We use Google Ads to advertise our services on Google Search and the Google Display Network. Google Ads uses cookies and similar technologies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this Site and other sites on the internet (remarketing) and to track conversions — such as inquiry form submissions — that result from our ads.

Google’s advertising services may use data collected from your visits to this Site to show you our advertisements on other websites. This is standard remarketing practice and does not involve the sale of your personal information.

You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies for advertising purposes by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads or by visiting optout.aboutads.info.

6.3 Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor our Site’s performance in Google Search results. Search Console does not collect personal information about Site visitors. It provides us with aggregated data about search queries, click-through rates, and indexing status.

6.4 Google’s Privacy Policy

For more information about how Google collects and uses data when you use our Site, please visit policies.google.com/privacy.

7. Telephone, Voicemail, and Text Message Communications

7.1 Inbound Calls and Voicemail

This Site displays a telephone number you may call to inquire about Fort Lauderdale townhome rentals. If you call this number:

• Your call may be answered live or forwarded to voicemail;
• Voicemail messages you leave may be recorded and retained for the purpose of returning your call and facilitating a referral;
• Your phone number may be captured through caller ID technology;
• Call routing technology may collect metadata about your call, including date, time, duration, and originating number.

We use call tracking technology to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to understand which advertising sources generate inquiries. This data is used internally and may be shared with Google Ads for conversion tracking purposes.

7.2 Outbound Text Messages (SMS)

If you submit an inquiry form through this Site and provide a mobile phone number, you may receive text message (SMS) communications from the Company and/or from independently licensed real estate professionals to whom your inquiry is referred. By submitting your phone number through an inquiry form, you expressly consent to receive such text messages pursuant to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227).

Text messages may be sent using automated technology. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or service. Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.

7.3 Opting Out of Text Messages

You may opt out of text message communications at any time by:

• Replying STOP to any text message you receive from us;
• Contacting us in writing at the address in Section 17.

After opting out, you will receive one confirmation message and no further text messages from the Company. Note that opting out of Company text messages does not automatically opt you out of text messages from independently licensed real estate professionals to whom your information was previously referred.

7.4 Do Not Call

We respect the National Do Not Call Registry. If your number is registered on the National Do Not Call Registry and you have not provided us with express written consent to contact you, we will not make telemarketing calls to your number. Inquiry form submissions constitute express written consent to be contacted regarding your specific inquiry.

8.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because no uniform standard for responding to such signals has been established. We will update this policy if and when a standard is adopted.

9. Florida Digital Bill of Rights

The Florida Digital Bill of Rights (Florida Statutes § 501.701 et seq., as enacted by SB 262, effective July 1, 2024) provides Florida consumers with certain rights regarding the collection, use, and processing of their personal data by controllers that meet the statutory thresholds.

Note that certain exceptions apply. For example, we may retain personal data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as completing a transaction you requested or complying with a legal obligation.

10. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:

• Inquiry data (name, phone, email): Retained for a reasonable period to facilitate follow-up communications and referrals, generally not exceeding twenty-four (24) months from the date of submission unless you request earlier deletion;
• Voicemail recordings: Retained until the inquiry is resolved or for a maximum of ninety (90) days, whichever is sooner;
• Analytics and advertising data: Subject to Google’s own data retention policies, which you can review at policies.google.com/privacy;
• Legal compliance records: Retained as required by applicable law, which may extend beyond the periods above.

When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Policy and no legal obligation requires its retention, we will delete or anonymize it in a commercially reasonable manner.

11. Data Security

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for data transmitted between your browser and the Site;
• Access controls limiting who within our organization can access personal data;
• Use of reputable, security-conscious third-party service providers.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information and requires notification under applicable law, we will notify you and applicable authorities as required.

12. Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. This Site is intended for use by adults (18 years of age or older) who are seeking rental housing for themselves or their households.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as promptly as possible. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at the address in Section 17.

13. Third-Party Links

This Site may contain links to third-party websites, including real estate listing platforms, Google Maps, and the websites of independently licensed real estate professionals.

The Company has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the privacy practices of any third-party site.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit before submitting any personal information. The inclusion of a link to any third-party site does not constitute our endorsement of that site’s privacy practices.
