- Contact Information: Name, email address, and phone number, collected when you submit a contact form.
- SMS Consent: When you check the SMS consent checkbox on our contact form, we record your explicit written consent to receive text messages. Providing your phone number alone does not constitute consent to receive SMS communications.

- Automatically Collected Data: We use Google Site Kit, which may collect your IP address, browser type, and other analytics data.
We do not require user logins. We do not store financial or sensitive personal data such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, or banking information.

- Email Opt-In: Email marketing consent is collected through a separate explicit opt-in checkbox on our contact form. This checkbox is not pre-checked and is not required to submit the form.
- Automatic Tracking: We use Google Site Kit and a cookie management tool (Complianz) to collect analytics data such as IP address, browser type, and browsing behavior. You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent banner displayed on this Website.

4. SMS Communications
If you opt in to receive SMS communications from Bianca Hill REALTOR®, we send two types of text messages:
Transactional SMS: Appointment scheduling and confirmations, property showing updates, transaction-related communication, and direct follow-ups related to your real estate inquiry. These messages are sent in response to your inquiry.
Marketing SMS: Real estate updates, VA loan education, market information, and promotional content. These messages are sent only to contacts who have explicitly opted in via the SMS consent checkbox on our contact form.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Supported carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing or selling real estate services.
To opt out at any time, reply STOP to any text message. You will receive a confirmation that you have been unsubscribed and no further messages will be sent. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us at info@realtorbiancahill.com.
5. Data Storage & Security
Your personal information is stored within Salesmate, our CRM platform, which employs its own security protocols including encryption and access controls. We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure; however, we take appropriate steps to safeguard your data.
We do not store financial or payment information on this Website.
