Information We Collect

When you interact with this website or contact Steve Cazel, we may collect information you provide directly to us, such as your name, email address, phone number, the areas or property types you're interested in, and any details you share in a message or through our "What Can I Afford?" form.

We also automatically collect limited technical data when you visit the site, including your browser type, device, and general location. This helps us understand how the site is used and improve your experience.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to your questions and requests for information about buying or selling.
  • Send you property recommendations, market updates, or resources you've asked for.
  • Connect you with trusted lending and service partners through Stone Tree Realty Team / Barrett Real Estate when you request it.
  • Improve our website, content, and the service we provide to clients.

We never sell your personal information to third parties. Where we share details with a partner, it's only to fulfill your request — for example, introducing you to a lender you've asked about.

Cookies & Tracking

This site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended without them.

Data Retention & Security

We retain your information only as long as needed to respond to your requests and provide our services, or as required by law. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, but no method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

This website may link to third-party sites such as property listing platforms, social profiles, and lender partners. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.

Your Rights

You may request access to, a copy of, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To make any of these requests, or to opt out of marketing communications, just reach out using the contact details below.

Children's Privacy

This website isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we'll promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
