I also want to be transparent about the types of personal information we collect about you, how I use your personal information, and with whom I share your personal information and why. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with that information and to inform you of the choices you have regarding the use and retention of your personal information. Rest assured, your data will not be shared or sold to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

​

About This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the realtybyemma.com Website or Application and its associated products and services (“Website or Application”). The terms governing your use of our Website or Application are defined within our Terms of Use. Please note that by using our Website or Application, you are consenting to the terms defined within our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.

​

Additionally, I may develop and release new products and services from time-to-time.

​

The Types of Personal Information I Collect About You and How I Use It

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information is considered to be “any information that can be used to uniquely identify you or that can be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with you.” The specific pieces of personal information we collect about you depends on how you use my Website or Application and what services you subscribe to. However, the general categories of personal information I collect about you are described by the following:

​

Account Data

Account Data is information that I collect about you when you inquire about or subscribe to my products and services. This type of information typically includes name, email address, phone number, and photo, and enables me to contact you for purposes such as discussing your interest in my products and services, creating an account for you to access my online services.

Once your account has been created, additional information about you, such as account and communication preferences, may also be requested to enable you to configure and personalize your account. Whether you provide this additional information is up to you. You can choose what additional information you wish to provide, make changes to existing information, and to opt out of future communications at any time by updating your account preferences.

 

Usage Data

Usage Data is information that I collect about you regarding your use of my Website or Application, and typically includes the following:

• Online identifiers such as IP addresses, MAC addresses and “cookie” data (see “What is a Cookie and How Is It Used?” for more information).

• Information about the types of devices you are using to access the Website or Application including device type, browser type, operating system and language settings.

• Information about the Website or Application pages you visit, including the date, time, and length of your page visits.

Usage Data helps me to optimize the design and operation of my Website or Application to best suit your needs and interests. It also helps me to diagnose, troubleshoot and fix any technical issues involving our Website or Application.

 

What is a Cookie and How Is It Used?

A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on your computer and makes it easy for you to move around a Website or Application without having to continually re-enter information such as your username, password, preferences, and so on. I use cookies to store our Website or Application users’ preferences, record user-specific information including what pages they visit or access, customize the web page content based on users’ browser type, and to enhance your overall user experience. I also use cookies for advertising purposes. In such instances, a unique ad-serving cookie will be placed on your computer by us or one of our advertising partners. Other Usage Data may also be collected to inform, optimize and deliver targeted ads to you.

Personal Information Retention and Protection

Protecting the confidentiality of any personal information I have collected about you is of utmost importance to me. I retain your personal information for only as long as necessary to satisfy legitimate and essential business purposes such as maintaining the performance and availability of our Website or Application and Services, complying with legal obligations, and resolving any disputes.

While I make all reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the information I collect about you, I make no guarantees, representations, or warranties with respect to the security of your personal information during storage or transmission.

​

Most of the information I collect about you is associated with your Website or Application user account.

​

Requesting Deletion of Your Personal Information

At your request, I will delete (or anonymize) any information I have collected about you over the last 12 months. Please understand, though, that I will not (nor am I legally obligated to) respond to more than two such requests within a 12-month period. I may also be legally required or allowed to retain your personal information in certain circumstances even when you’ve requested that we delete your information, including:

​

• Where there is an unresolved issue relating to your account such as an outstanding credit, unpaid balance, or unresolved dispute.

• Where I need to retain your personal information for our legal, tax, audit and accounting obligations as required by applicable law.

• Where it is necessary to maintain your personal information for our legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention or to maintain the security of our Website or Application.

Notice to California Residents

If you are a resident of California, then the collection, processing and use of your personal information may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as well as other applicable California state privacy laws.

As a company that does business in California and collects the personal information of some California residents, I are required to inform you of the consumer rights afforded to you under the CCPA, and to enable you to exercise those rights with regards to any personal information that I may have collected about you.

​

Your CCPA Rights

​

The Right to Know How Your Personal Information is Used

As a California resident, the CCPA affords you the right to request information about the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information over the previous 12 months, including:

• the categories and specific pieces of personal information about you that have been collected;

• the purposes for which your personal information have been collected, used or sold (where applicable);

• The categories of third parties with whom your personal information have been disclosed;

• The categories of personal information about you that have been disclosed for a business purpose; and where applicable:

• the categories of personal information about you sold to third parties; the categories of third parties to whom your personal information was sold; and the categories of personal information about you for each third party to whom your personal information was sold.

 

The Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information

You are also afforded the right to request the deletion of any personal information that has been collected about you over the prior 12 months, subject to certain exceptions. Please refer to “Requesting Deletion of Your Personal Information” section for more information.

​

The Right to “Opt Out” of the Sale of Your Personal Information

Under the CCPA, you may also request that your personal information not be sold to any third parties. Businesses who sell the personal information of California residents are required to respect “opt out” requests for a period of at least 12 months before requesting your authorization to resume selling your personal information.

 

The Right to Not Be Penalized for Exercising Your Rights

Lastly, businesses required to comply with the CCPA are prohibited from charging you a fee, requiring you to pay higher prices or rates for services, providing you a lower level of service, or terminating your services altogether for exercising your rights under the CCPA; understanding, however, that some personal information may need to be retained in order to continue to deliver those services to you.

​

How to Exercise My CCPA Rights

To request details regarding any information about you that we may have collected over the last 12 months, and/or to request the deletion of any such information, please contact me directly using the information and methods provided in the “How to Contact Me” section of this Privacy Policy.

​

Please note that the CCPA does not obligate me to provide the requested information to the same consumer more than twice in a 12-month period.

​

Opting Out of the Sale of Your Personal Information

I have undertaken extensive steps to identify whether any of our data sharing arrangements would constitute the “sale” of personal information under the CCPA. I continue to maintain that I do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise disclose personal information to a third party for “monetary or other valuable consideration” and, therefore, are not required to provide you the ability to “opt out” of the sale of your information since I do not engage in such activities.

​

​

This Privacy Policy explains my support for the principles of accountability; purpose; consent; limited use, disclosure and retention; safeguards; openness; and access. The principles of limited collection, accuracy, and compliance are addressed below:

​

The personal information of Canadian residents may be transmitted to the facilities of third-party service providers in the United States for processing and storage in accordance with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. All parties involved will abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy. My service providers are subject to certain safeguards, including the execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement and the requirement that any personal information provided to them be destroyed upon completion of the service or returned to me.
