At Ann Dragich and Company, we believe that trust starts with clarity. That’s why we keep our approach to privacy as straightforward as the rest of our content. This policy explains what information we collect when you use anndragichandcompany.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies only to this website and not to any third-party services you might reach through links on our pages.
We don’t ask for much, and we don’t keep anything longer than we need to. If you have questions after reading this, you can always reach us at [email protected].
Information We Collect
In simple terms: we only collect information you choose to give us, plus basic technical data that helps the site function.
Information you provide directly:
- If you contact us via email or a contact form, we’ll have your name, email address, and whatever you write in your message.
- If you subscribe to our newsletter or leave a comment on a post, we collect the information you submit (such as your name and email address).
Information collected automatically:
- Your IP address, browser type, device type, and approximate location (at city level, not exact address).
- Pages you visit, how you arrived at the site, and how long you stay. We use this to understand which guides are most helpful.
- Cookies and similar technologies, described in more detail below.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (such as financial information, government IDs, or property documents) unless you voluntarily share it with us during a consultation request. If you do share such information, we treat it with the same care as everything else and will never sell it.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for a limited number of purposes:
- To respond to you. If you send us a question about buying or selling a home, we use your email to reply.
- To improve the website. Understanding which articles people read helps us write more of what’s useful.
- To send newsletters or updates, but only if you’ve explicitly opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time with one click.
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse or spam.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling. There is no algorithm deciding what content you see based on your history.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies to make the site work properly and to understand general traffic patterns. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and you can still use the site if you do—though some features may not work as well.
We use Google Analytics to see which pages are popular and how visitors find us. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Google may set its own cookies and process data according to its privacy policy. We do not combine this information with anything that could reveal your identity.
We also use a minimal set of functional cookies to remember your preferences (like dismissing a notice). No advertising cookies are used on this site.
Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with anyone. Period.
We may share limited data with service providers who help us run the site—for example, our email newsletter platform or website analytics provider. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the specific task we’ve assigned them.
If required by law or in response to a valid legal request (such as a court order), we may disclose information to government authorities. We’ll do so only when we believe it’s necessary and legally justified.
Data Retention and Security
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected:
- Email correspondence: up to 12 months after the conversation ends, unless you ask us to delete it earlier.
- Newsletter subscription data: as long as you remain subscribed.
- Analytics data: typically retained for 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We recommend you avoid sending highly sensitive information through unencrypted email.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles sometimes link to external resources—government portals, RERA websites, legal databases, or reputable news sources. Once you leave anndragichandcompany.com, this privacy policy no longer applies. Please review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. We aim to honor reasonable requests regardless of location:
- You can ask us what personal information we hold about you.
- You can request correction of inaccurate data.
- You can request deletion of your data, and we will comply unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.
- You can withdraw consent for newsletters or any other processing at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We’ll respond within 30 days.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults navigating residential property matters. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a notice on the site. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
