4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files stored on a device. We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Strictly Necessary Technologies

These technologies are used to operate essential website functions, maintain security, remember privacy selections, prevent fraud, and process forms.

Analytics Technologies

These technologies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages they visit, how long they remain on the website, and whether technical problems occur.

Advertising Technologies

These technologies may be used to measure advertising performance, determine whether an advertisement resulted in a call or inquiry, create advertising audiences, and display more relevant advertisements.

Functional Technologies

These technologies support website features such as maps, videos, chat tools, forms, and other interactive content.

Where required by applicable law, nonessential analytics and advertising technologies will be activated only after the visitor provides the required consent.

You may accept, reject, or manage nonessential technologies through the cookie consent tool available on the website. You may also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect certain website functions.

Google Tag Manager assists with managing website technologies. Google Analytics helps measure website use. Google Ads helps us advertise and measure campaign performance. Google Maps and YouTube provide embedded maps and video content. Google reCAPTCHA assists with preventing spam and abuse.

Depending on your privacy settings and applicable consent requirements, Google may receive device, browser, IP address, cookie, advertising, and website interaction information.

Google processes information according to its own privacy policies and terms.

Automated responses:

When you submit a form, send an email, start a chat, or call us, you authorize Golden Circle to respond regarding your inquiry.

By providing a telephone number, you consent to receive calls or text messages concerning a property inquiry, showing, consultation, listing, transaction, appointment, or other request. Messages may be sent using automated technology where permitted by law.

Consent to receive marketing calls or texts is not a condition of purchasing goods or services. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP.

Service-related and transactional communications may continue when reasonably necessary to address an active request, appointment, or real estate transaction.

14. California Privacy Notice

This section applies only to the extent Golden Circle is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended.

California law provides qualifying consumers with rights that may include rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive information, and receive nondiscriminatory treatment. The law generally applies only to for-profit businesses doing business in California that meet specific statutory thresholds.

• Advertising and analytics platforms
• Service providers
• Business partners and publicly available sources

We may disclose these categories to the service-provider and third-party categories described in this policy.

We do not knowingly sell personal information for monetary compensation. Use of advertising cookies or pixels may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.

Where applicable, California residents may opt out by:

• Selecting “Reject” or disabling advertising cookies in the website consent tool
• Using the “Your Privacy Choices” link
• Enabling Global Privacy Control in a supported browser
• Contacting us at Maryia.zhauniak@compass.com

Golden Circle does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

15. Global Privacy Control

Where required by applicable law, we will treat a recognized Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of applicable sales or sharing for the browser and device sending the signal.

A Global Privacy Control signal may not automatically identify you across different browsers, devices, or accounts.

16. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to:

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

17. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information.

However, no website, network, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security or that unauthorized parties will never defeat our safeguards.

You are responsible for using appropriate caution when transmitting information through the internet.

18. Children’s Privacy

The website is intended for adults seeking real estate information or services.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 submitted personal information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted information may contact us at Maryia.zhauniak@compass.com.

19. External Websites and Embedded Content

The website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded services, including property listing platforms, multiple listing service data, Google Maps, YouTube, social media platforms, reviews, mortgage, title, insurance, inspection, or other external resources.

Third parties may collect information when their services are loaded or used. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this document.

Golden Circle is not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services.
