If you provide your contact information, Hyde & Associates may contact you in response to your inquiry or to provide requested real estate information. Depending on the information and consent you provide, communications may be made by email, telephone, or text message.
Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of buying or selling property. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message. You may request that text messages stop by replying “STOP.” You may also contact us directly to update your communication preferences.
Message and data rates may apply to text messages. The number and frequency of messages may vary based on your requests and property-search activity.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website and third-party service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies. Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device that help websites function, remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand visitor activity.
Cookies may be used to:
- Maintain website and property-search functionality
- Remember property-search preferences
- Support saved listings and account features
- Measure website traffic and engagement
- Identify referring websites or marketing sources
- Improve website speed, usability, and security
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may prevent some property-search, saved-search, account, or website features from working correctly.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website. Google Analytics may collect information such as the number of visitors, session activity, approximate location, browser information, device information, referring sources, and pages viewed.
Google processes this information on our behalf to provide website traffic and performance reports. Google may use cookies or similar technologies as part of this service.
You can learn how Google uses information from websites that use its services by visiting Google’s information for partner sites. You may also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to evaluate how our website appears and performs in Google Search. Search Console provides reports that may include search queries, page impressions, clicks, click-through rates, indexing information, and general device or geographic data.
Google Search Console generally provides website owners with aggregated search-performance information rather than information directly submitted by visitors through our website.
Rank Math
We use Rank Math, a WordPress search engine optimization plugin, to manage website metadata, structured data, sitemaps, redirects, search performance, and related SEO functions.
Rank Math may connect with services such as Google Analytics or Google Search Console when those integrations are enabled. Rank Math also offers optional usage tracking. Information processed through Rank Math depends on the website settings and integrations that are active.
iHomefinder and IDX Property Search
Our website uses iHomefinder to provide Internet Data Exchange property listings, MLS search tools, saved searches, property alerts, account features, and lead-capture services.
When you use these features, iHomefinder may collect information including your name, email address, telephone number, IP address, browser information, referring website, property searches, properties viewed, saved listings, search preferences, and website activity.
Information submitted through iHomefinder may be provided to Hyde & Associates so that we can respond to your inquiry, provide requested MLS information, send property alerts, and assist with your real estate needs. iHomefinder may also work with hosting, CRM, marketing, technical, MLS, and website service providers to operate these features.
iHomefinder may use cookies to support property-search functionality, lead-source tracking, and analysis of how visitors interact with IDX content. You can review the iHomefinder Privacy Policy for additional information.

Sale and Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information for money. Based on our current website practices, we do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices or opt-out methods required by applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, provide real estate services, maintain property-search accounts, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our business.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, MLS requirements, legal requirements, and whether you have requested that we delete your information.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information. However, no website, database, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any property-search account credentials and for notifying us if you believe your account or information has been accessed without authorization.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request confirmation of whether we process your personal information
- Request access to personal information we maintain about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Request a portable copy of certain information
- Opt out of certain sales, targeted advertising, or profiling activities
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request
- Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right
These rights are not absolute. We may need to retain information when permitted or required by law, including information needed for real estate records, legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or an ongoing transaction.
To submit a privacy request, email Michael@hyderealtycompany.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity.
To appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, email us with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to mortgage providers, home-valuation services, social media platforms, MLS resources, government websites, and other third-party services. We do not control the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties.
Information you provide directly to a third-party website is governed by that third party’s privacy policy. We encourage you to review its policy before submitting personal information.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete the information.
