Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this website, our web server automatically receives your IP address and browser type as part of standard HTTP requests. We do not use analytics services, advertising trackers, or social media tracking pixels.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics platform. We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels. We do not collect data from social media integrations. Our fonts are self-hosted, so no data is sent to third-party font services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide through our contact form to:

• Respond to your inquiry

• Manage our client relationships

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your contact form submissions are stored in a database on our secure server. All connections to this website are encrypted using HTTPS (TLS). Access to your data is limited to Brittany Monroe and authorized personnel at Tropic Shores Realty.

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or until you request its deletion.

4. Third-Party Services

This website uses a limited number of third-party services:

YouTube (Google)

We embed property video tours from YouTube using the privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Videos are only loaded after you provide consent via our cookie banner. When you choose to load videos, data is transmitted to Google. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

OpenStreetMap

Our community map loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap. This exposes your IP address to OpenStreetMap's tile servers but does not set any cookies. See the OpenStreetMap Foundation Privacy Policy for details.

No Other Third Parties

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising networks, or any other third-party tracking services.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

This website uses minimal cookies and browser storage. We use one strictly necessary cookie for form security (CSRF protection) and one local storage entry to remember your media consent preference.

For complete details, see our Cookie Policy.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Withdraw consent for YouTube video embeds at any time using the Cookie Settings button in the footer
