Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your information.
The Lowry Group at Coldwell Banker Realty ("The Lowry Group," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our websites — including thelowrygroup.net and findyoursarasota.com (together, the "Site") — how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us
We collect the information you choose to provide, such as when you fill out a contact form, request a showing, subscribe to our newsletter, suggest a local business, or enter a giveaway. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any details you include in a message (for example, what kind of home you're looking for).
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our Site may automatically collect limited technical information through your browser and standard server logs, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. We may use cookies or similar technologies to help the Site function, remember preferences, and understand how the Site is used.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiries and provide the real estate services you request;
- To administer giveaways and promotions, including selecting and notifying winners;
- To send you our newsletter and occasional marketing communications, but only where you have opted in;
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run our business, including with:
- Service providers who act on our behalf — for example, our email/newsletter provider (Brevo), our website host (GoDaddy), text-message provider (Twilio, if used for notifications), and mapping and video providers embedded on the Site. These providers may only use your information to perform services for us.
- Coldwell Banker Realty and affiliated real estate professionals, where necessary to provide the services you request.
- Legal and safety recipients — when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Lowry Group, our clients, or others.
4. Third-Party Services and Links
Our Site uses and links to third-party services — for example, embedded YouTube videos, mapping tools, and social media pages. These services have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. This Site is not sponsored by or affiliated with YouTube, Google, or Meta.
5. Cookies and Your Choices
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the Site may not function properly without them. You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the "unsubscribe" link in any message, or by contacting us. Opting out of marketing does not affect messages needed to respond to a specific request you made.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal and recordkeeping obligations, and to resolve disputes.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and our giveaways are open only to individuals 18 and older. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain uses. Florida residents may have rights under the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, and residents of other states may have similar rights under their local laws. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
10. Do Not Sell or Share
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be posted on this page.
