Submitting an inquiry through the Website does not, by itself, establish a broker-client, agency, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

3. Contact Forms

When you submit a contact form, we collect the information you enter into the form, such as your name, email address, telephone number if requested, message, and other information you voluntarily provide.

We use this information primarily to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you regarding the services or information you requested.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through a general Website contact form unless it is necessary for your inquiry.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics through Site Kit by Google to help us understand how visitors use the Website.

Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information regarding Website traffic and visitor interactions. This can include information about sessions, pages viewed, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, and Website interactions.

Google states that IP addresses in Google Analytics 4 are used during collection to determine location information and are discarded before the IP address is logged in an Analytics data center.

Google Analytics prohibits customers from sending personally identifiable information such as email addresses or personal mobile phone numbers to Google Analytics.

Information processed by Google is also subject to Google’s applicable privacy policies and terms.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember cookie preferences, support Website functionality, and understand Website usage.

Our current cookies include necessary cookies associated with WordPress and CookieYes and analytics cookies associated with Google Analytics.

You can manage applicable cookie preferences using the cookie consent controls provided on the Website.

For additional information about the specific cookies currently detected on the Website, their purposes, and their duration, please review our Cookie Policy.

6. Cookie Consent

We use CookieYes to provide our Website’s cookie consent and preference-management functionality.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be given choices regarding non-essential cookies. You may also be able to revisit your choices using the cookie settings control displayed on the Website.

Where consent controls apply, Google provides mechanisms through which Analytics storage can be granted or denied.

7. Accessibility Services

We use WebAbility accessibility technology to assist in making the Website accessible to visitors with disabilities.

The accessibility technology may process technical and Website usage information necessary to operate and improve its accessibility services. Information processed by WebAbility is subject to its applicable privacy practices and policies.

8. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information to service providers and third parties that help us operate the Website or provide services, including providers of:

Website hosting and technology
Website analytics
Cookie consent management
Accessibility technology
Email and communications
Website forms
Real estate technology and services

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, users, clients, or others.

We do not sell personal information to data brokers for monetary compensation.

9. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties, including real estate-related websites and service providers.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites. When you leave homzze.com, the privacy policy of the third-party website or service will apply.

The Website may contain links to Engel & Völkers websites and other third-party websites where you can search for properties, obtain real estate information, or access other services. When you follow one of these links, you leave homzze.com, and information you provide or activity that occurs on the destination website is governed by that website’s privacy policy. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide requested services, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our legitimate interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, or Website can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

Request access to certain personal information
Request correction of inaccurate personal information

13. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), to the extent the CCPA applies to us and the information at issue.

We do not sell personal information to data brokers for monetary compensation.

If you are a California resident and would like to submit an applicable privacy request, contact us at zac.el-ghazzawy@evrealestate.com.

The inclusion of this section does not constitute an admission that Zachary El-Ghazzawy or homzze.com is a “business” subject to the CCPA in every circumstance.

14. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” or other privacy preference mechanisms.

Because standards and legal requirements concerning these signals continue to evolve, our response to such signals may depend upon the technology involved and applicable law.

You may use the Website’s cookie preference controls to manage available choices regarding non-essential cookies.

15. Children’s Privacy

The Website and our real estate services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information through the Website from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Website, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
