All collection, use, disclosure, and processing of personal information by Neuma Realty, LLC about individuals will vary depending upon use of our Sites and Services.

This policy does not apply to job applicants or to our employees and independent agents.
When you visit our consumer applications or purchase and/or sell real estate with one of Neuma Realty, LLC’s offices, we may collect information about you that you share with us. We typically collect two kinds of information about you through our applications: (a) information that you provide that personally identifies you; and (b) information that does not personally identify you, which we automatically collect when you visit our applications or that you provide to us.
When visiting our consumer-facing applications, you may be directed, through hyperlinks, to other consumer applications that are beyond our control. This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection of information by those other companies and consumer applications. Although we encourage third parties to provide their own privacy policies, we are not responsible for their activities, such as how they handle the information they collect online.

In addition, we may process your personal information where necessary to protect the vital interests of any individual.
You may opt-out from receiving future promotional or marketing information from us, our affiliated companies, and our third-party vendors, or direct that we not share your information with any affiliated companies or third-party vendors, as set forth below in the Rights and “Opt-out” section below.

We further reserve the right to disclose your information under limited circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the public good.
We may use your non-PII by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others. We may share your non-PII with our affiliated companies and third parties to achieve these objectives and others, but remember that aggregate information is anonymous information that does not personally identify any individual, device, or household.
Whenever you are online or on our applications, you run the risk that the information you provide will fall into the wrong hands.

We process your personal information in the United States.
Electronic communications such as email, text messages and social media messaging, are neither secure nor confidential. While Neuma Realty, LLC has adopted policies and procedures to aid in avoiding fraud, even the best security protections can still be bypassed by unauthorized parties. Neuma Realty, LLC will never send you any electronic communication with instructions to transfer funds or to provide nonpublic personal information, such as credit card or debit numbers or bank account and/or routing numbers.
YOU SHOULD NEVER TRANSMIT NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION, SUCH AS CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD NUMBERS OR BANK ACCOUNT OR ROUTING NUMBERS, BY EMAIL OR OTHER UNSECURED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION. EMAILS ATTEMPTING TO INDUCE FRAUDULENT WIRE TRANSFERS ARE COMMON AND MAY APPEAR TO COME FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE.
If you receive any electronic communication directing you to transfer funds or provide nonpublic personal information, EVEN IF THAT ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION APPEARS TO BE FROM Neuma Realty, LLC or its affiliates or offices, do not respond to it and immediately contact your real estate agent or title closer. Such requests, even if they may otherwise appear to be from Neuma Realty, LLC, are likely part of a scheme to defraud you by stealing funds from you or using your identity to commit a crime.

We may, from time to time, change our Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any changes by posting our updated Privacy Policy on our consumer applications and inserting a new “Effective Date.”
