Website Privacy and Tracking Notice

Effective September 22, 2026 · matthewsmithrealty.com · Matthew Smith, Luxe Places International Realty

What this page is, and what it is not. This notice covers how this website measures visits: the analytics and advertising tools that run here, what they collect, and how to turn them off. It is written and maintained by Matthew Smith.

The Privacy Policy for Luxe Places International Realty covers the brokerage's own handling of information you provide when you register, including how the brokerage stores and shares it. That document governs brokerage data practices. Where the two overlap, the brokerage policy governs the brokerage's practices, and this page governs what runs on this website. If you think the two say different things, tell me and I will get it corrected rather than leave you guessing.

The short version

You can search homes here without giving your name. If you register or contact me, I use what you send to answer you and to provide the real estate services you asked for. I do not sell your personal information. This site does run analytics and advertising measurement, and every one of them is named below.

What is collected on this website

The companies involved

BoldTrail, the home search and CRM platform. Netlify, which hosts custom pages. Cloudflare, for security and speed. Google Analytics 4. Google Ads. Google Fonts. Mapbox, for maps. Listing data comes from the MLS boards the brokerage is licensed to display and is shown with listing brokerage credit.

Cross site tracking, Do Not Track, and Global Privacy Control

Do other companies collect information about your activity across other websites from here? Yes, in a limited way. Google Ads places an identifier that lets Google connect your visit to an ad you clicked, and Google Analytics uses cookies for measurement. That is cross context advertising technology, and I am telling you plainly rather than burying it. Before you make a choice on our consent banner, Google Consent Mode runs in its default denied state: limited, cookieless pings that store nothing on your device and are not used for advertising or personalization. Declining keeps it that way. Accepting turns on standard Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement.

I do not sell your personal information for money, and I do not hand your contact details to other businesses for their marketing. I do not run a Meta pixel, a TikTok pixel, or a lead reseller tag on any page I control.

One disclosure I would rather make plainly than have you discover. Some pages on this domain are served by BoldTrail, the brokerage's home search and CRM platform, rather than by me. Those pages carry advertising tags placed at the platform and brokerage level, including Meta pixels, that are not mine and that I cannot remove from my own settings. I have them blocked at the network edge, so on a normal visit they do not load and no data reaches Meta. I am working with the brokerage and the platform to have them removed at the source. If you want to be certain, the browser controls listed below stop them regardless of what any site does.

This site detects the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and treats it as an opt out, and it also reads the browser Do Not Track setting. If your browser sends either signal, analytics and advertising stay off without you having to do anything else. Any of the following also works, and I will not treat you differently for using them.

What I do not do

Text messages

If you text me, you may receive replies from me or my team about your request. Message and data rates may apply. You can stop at any time by replying STOP or simply telling me to stop.

Your California privacy rights

If you want to know what information I have about you, correct it, or have it deleted, contact me and I will handle it for the records I hold, meaning the messages, contact details, and requests you sent. I will not treat you differently for asking.

One honest limit: the analytics and advertising records held by Google are keyed to cookies and device identifiers rather than to your name, so I cannot look up your sessions by email address and pull them out. What I can do is delete what you sent me, and the options above stop the tracking going forward.

Email [email protected] or call 707-893-7374. I may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request about personal information.

Reviewing or changing your information

If you registered on the home search, you can review and update your profile there. For anything else, email or call using the contact above.

Security

Reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards are used for the information held. No website or email system is perfectly secure, so please do not send financial or identity documents through a website contact link.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

Changes to this notice

If this notice changes, the updated version is posted here and the effective date above changes. Material changes are described in plain language on this page.
