Privacy Policy

Cottleville Trails (cottlevilletrails.com) is an independent guide published by Gateway Realty Group, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties. This page explains how this site handles your information. Gateway Realty Group's full privacy policy also covers this site and goes into more detail.

Information You Give Us

When you fill out our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and the details you give us: your budget, when you hope to buy, whether you are pre-approved, which builders interest you, whether you have a house to sell and its address, any notes, and how you heard about us. You can visit this site anonymously. We collect personal information only if you choose to submit it.

Information Collected Automatically

We may collect non-personal information whenever you visit, such as your browser, the type of device you use and your operating system.

We also record how you reached this site: the tags on the link you clicked (for example a video or a newsletter), the site that referred you, the page you landed on and how many times you have visited. That is saved in your browser's storage, not in a cookie. When you send an inquiry, it goes to us with your answers, along with your Google Analytics visitor ID, so we can tell which video, page or search brought you to us. You can remove it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

How We Use Information

We use the personal information you give us to respond to your inquiry and to follow up on your real estate needs in accordance with your preferences. We use the information about how you reached this site to learn which videos, pages and searches are useful. We do not use third-party marketing partners and do not sell or share your personal information for outside marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services We Use

We do not display advertising on this site, and we do not sell your personal information. We rely on a small number of third-party services to operate the site. Each is listed here, along with what it receives.

• Web3Forms processes submissions from the contact form on this site. When you submit the form, the information you entered is transmitted to Web3Forms, which delivers it to us by email. See the Web3Forms privacy policy.
• Cloudflare Turnstile is a privacy-focused alternative to CAPTCHA used on our form to tell real visitors from automated abuse. It analyzes browser and interaction signals and does not require you to solve a puzzle. See the Cloudflare privacy policy.
• Cloudflare DNS is used for one check before your inquiry is sent. We confirm that the domain of your email address, the part after the @ sign and never the name before it, can receive mail. To do that, your browser asks Cloudflare's public DNS service about that domain, so Cloudflare receives the domain and your IP address. If the check cannot run, your inquiry is sent anyway.
• Google Analytics measures aggregate site usage, such as which pages are visited and how visitors arrive. We use it to understand what content is useful, not to identify individuals. It uses cookies, and we do not sell or share analytics data. You can opt out with Google's browser add-on. See Google's privacy policy.
• Google Fonts supplies the typefaces on this site. Loading them means Google receives your IP address.
• YouTube hosts our tour video. The home page shows a thumbnail from YouTube and loads the video itself only after you click play. The thank-you page embeds the video directly. Loading either means YouTube receives your IP address and may set its own cookies.

These providers process information on our behalf to deliver the functions described above. We do not control how a provider uses information collected through its own service, and we encourage you to read the policies linked here.

Calls, Texts and Email

When you tick the consent box on our contact form and send it, you agree that Gateway Realty Group may contact you by phone, text, or email about your inquiry. Your consent is not a condition of purchase.

Gateway Realty Group does not engage in unsolicited mass marketing. We do not place cold calls, send unsolicited text messages, or distribute mass email campaigns to individuals who have not first contacted us.

• Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
• We use text messages to confirm appointments, send reminders, and notify clients of schedule updates or important changes related to your real estate inquiry.
• You can cancel text messages at any time by replying STOP. We will send one message to confirm that you are unsubscribed, and after that you will receive no more. To join again, sign up as you did the first time.
• For help, reply HELP or write to [email protected].
• Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency may vary. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• To stop phone calls, ask any Gateway Realty Group representative to remove your number from our follow-up system, or contact us using the details below. To stop emails, use the unsubscribe link in any email or contact us. Opt-out requests are honored promptly.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

Deleting Your Information

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information that we have collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receiving and verifying your request, we will delete your personal information from our records, as well as direct our service providers to do the same, unless an exception applies. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.

Security

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Children Under 13

Gateway Realty Group does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website.
