Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information RGV Estate Group ("we," "us," "our") collects through this Site, how we use it, and who we share it with.
1. Information We Collect
- Calculator inputs: income, down payment, credit range, timeline, and intent category you enter to generate an estimate. These are used to display your on-screen result and are not required to be submitted anywhere.
- Information you optionally submit: if you choose to have your estimate emailed to you, we collect your email and selected city for that purpose only.
- Automatically collected information: standard web analytics such as pages visited, referring source, device/browser type, and approximate location, collected through our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To generate the calculator estimate you requested and, if you opt in, to email that estimate to you.
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
- To measure how many visitors view each city and category page, for our own advertising-placement reporting to Featured Partners (in aggregate, not by name).
3. We Do Not Share Your Information With Featured Partners
RGV Estate Group sells advertising placement to Featured Partners — we do not sell, forward, or otherwise share any visitor's name, email, phone number, or calculator inputs with them. If you sign up for an optional estimate email, that information stays with RGV Estate Group only. Any reporting we provide to a Featured Partner about their advertising placement is aggregate (e.g., page views for their city/category) and does not identify individual visitors. If you choose to contact a Featured Partner by visiting their website, any information you provide there is governed by that Featured Partner's own privacy policy, not ours. We do not sell your personal information to unrelated third parties or data brokers, and we may share information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process.
4. Third-Party Websites
If you click through to a Featured Partner's website, that Featured Partner's own privacy policy and data practices apply to any information you provide there — we do not control and are not responsible for how a Featured Partner handles data on their own systems.
5. Data Retention
We retain submitted information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, or until you request deletion.
6. Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information by contacting [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL]. If you are a California, Texas, or other state resident with statutory privacy rights, we will honor requests to the extent required by applicable law.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information submitted through the Site, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a revised version with an updated date.
