The Fine Print: Florida Realtors Privacy Policy
Florida Realtors respects your privacy, and we are constantly evaluating our practices and procedures to protect your personal information.
Information collection and use
FloridaRealtors.org is accessible to everyone, but only Florida Realtors members may access certain tools and information. To view that info, members must log in if they wish to visit a password-protected page. We compare your login info to our membership records and the personal profiles.
We won't sell, share or rent this information to others, except in the ways outlined below. Florida Realtors collects information from our users at several different points on our website in order to verify valid users and is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
Registration
You must be a member of Florida Realtors to access certain areas of this website.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When you submit sensitive information through the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When a registration/order form asks you for information such as a credit card number, the information is encrypted before it leaves your device.
If you have questions about security, send an email to support@floridarealtors.org.
Cookies
A cookie in the Internet world is a piece of data stored on your hard drive that has some connection to a website you visited. It generally contains info about you that makes it easier to visit that site.
Cookies are pretty standard in the Internet industry, and a huge number of websites use them. Cookies also allow us to track visits to different areas of the site, which lets Florida Realtors know which areas of the website we should improve and expand.
If you don't like being recognized, however, you can stop accepting cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser. That will keep your visit anonymous on FloridaRealtors.org along with other websites. It may limit some of the functionality when you visit FloridaRealtors.org, though. In addition, third-party vendors produce some website services offered by FloridaRealtors.org. In those cases, the independent vendors may also place cookies on your hard drive. Florida Realtors has no control over these cookies.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties, other than with our partners and designated Florida Realtors Rewards Partners. We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, but that info isn't linked to personal information that can identify you. We could tell another company, for example, that 85 percent of FloridaRealtors.org visitors took our property insurance survey and here are the results, but we can't say that you, in particular, clicked on the property insurance survey.
We cooperate with the Florida Realtors Rewards Partners listed here, to provide exclusive discounts and offers to you and other members. From time to time we may share your email address with these partners so they can inform you about their products. Also, if you sign up for these Florida Realtors-sponsored Rewards services, we will share your name or other contact information, as necessary, so the third party can fulfill these services. Third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This website contains links to other sites, but Florida Realtors is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. If another website asks for personal information, refer to that site's own privacy policy. Florida Realtors privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website.
Surveys
Sometimes our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary, and you may choose not to disclose this information simply by not taking the survey. A survey could ask for information such as a name and address, as well as demographic information, such as your zip code or age.
Choice/opt-out
Florida Realtors members have the opportunity to "opt-out" of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. If you no longer wish to receive a specific email product, such as newsletters or advertising materials, you may opt-out of individual communications by clicking the “Unsubscribe” button at the end of the email. You can manage your Florida Realtors subscriptions here. If you need assistance, email to Customer Support (support@floridarealtors.org).
Site and service updates
Some types of email correspondence don't have opt-out capabilities if you're a Florida Realtors member, such as the occasional notice of a major breaking news event to Florida licensees, emails sent to committee members, and other website and service announcements.
Correction/updating personal information
Email addresses, phone numbers and other personal information may be changed or updated by members using the edit option tabs located in the “My Membership” section of the website.
Changes in this policy
In the future, Florida Realtors may need to change this privacy policy to meet the needs of its members; and since we can't predict the future, we must put this clause into the privacy policy: We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. Such changes may be made without prior notice but will be explained in this privacy policy. Changes will be effective when posted.
