Last Updated: July 24, 2026
Joe David Yates & Assoc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or interact with our Site.
We do not require or offer user accounts or logins. You can browse listings, submit inquiries, and use our Site without creating a profile or storing a password with us.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
We collect information you voluntarily submit through forms on our Site, such as:
- Contact or inquiry forms (e.g., “Request a Showing,” “Contact an Agent,” “Get More Info”)
- Newsletter or email signup forms
- Mortgage calculator or affordability tool inputs
- Property alert or saved-search sign-ups (where email-based, not account-based)
This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any details you choose to share about your property interests, budget, or timeline.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our Site, we may automatically collect:
- IP address and approximate location
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages viewed, listings searched, and time spent on the Site
- Referring website or search terms that led you to us
We collect this through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5).
Information From Third Parties
We may receive information from:
- Multiple Listing Services (MLS) or listing syndication partners
- Real estate agents or brokers affiliated with our Site
- Marketing and analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising partners, if you arrive via a paid ad or campaign
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and connect you with relevant listings or agents

- Improve and personalize the Site’s content and performance
- Analyze usage trends and troubleshoot technical issues
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
- Communicate with you about promotions, if you’ve opted in
We do not use your information to create or manage a user account, since the Site does not support account-based access.
3. How We Share Your Information
We may share your information with:
- Real estate agents or brokers who can assist with your inquiry
- Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., email delivery, hosting, analytics)
- MLS and listing partners, as required to display or verify property data
- Legal or regulatory authorities, if required by law or to protect our rights
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Data Retention
Because we don’t maintain user accounts, we retain inquiry and form data only as long as needed to respond to your request, fulfill the purpose it was collected for, or comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Section 7).
5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Remember your preferences (e.g., saved searches, filters)
- Measure Site traffic and performance
- Support advertising and retargeting campaigns
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some Site features, such as saved property searches.
6. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, including MLS listing pages, mortgage calculators, or social media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
7. Your Privacy Choices & Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your information
- Opt out of marketing emails (via the unsubscribe link in any email)
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your information
Since we don’t offer accounts, you can exercise these rights by contacting us directly, and we will process your request without needing you to log in anywhere.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
