Privacy policy

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways.

Information you provide. When you contact us through our website — via a contact form, newsletter signup, or direct inquiry — you may share personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and any other details you choose to include.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our Site, certain data is collected automatically: your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to collect this information in aggregate form.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide the advisory services you've requested.
• Send you our newsletter or market updates, if you've opted in.
• Operate and maintain our Site and improve your experience on it.
• Monitor usage and trends through analytics to better understand how our Site is being used.
• Manage our client relationships through our CRM platform.
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations.

We do not sell your personal information. We will not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers — including Google Analytics, our CRM platform, and our email marketing provider — who help us operate our Site and communicate with you. These providers are required to keep your information confidential and to process it only as directed by us.

We are affiliated with Compass, a licensed real estate brokerage. Compass operates under its own privacy policy. This policy covers only our team's website and independent communications.

We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid request by public authorities.

Cookies

Our Site uses cookies and Google Analytics to understand traffic and improve your experience. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Most browsers also allow you to decline cookies through their settings, though doing so may affect certain site functionality. We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting technology.

Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, including Compass.com and other real estate platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Your Choices

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. You can also adjust your browser settings to decline cookies.

Depending on where you are located, you may have additional rights.

New York residents have the right to know what personal information we hold, to request corrections, and to opt out of marketing at any time.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA) have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, to access or delete that information, to correct inaccuracies, and to confirm that we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To submit a request, contact us at info@thefamilyoffice.com. We will respond within 45 days.

EU and UK residents (GDPR/UK GDPR) have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to or withdraw consent for its processing. Our lawful basis for processing is typically your consent or our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries and operating our business. To exercise your rights or lodge a complaint, contact us at info@thefamilyoffice.com. You also have the right to contact your local data protection authority.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our Site.
