How We Share Your Information

Home Path Realty does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers.

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

We use third-party service providers to operate this website and process form submissions. These providers include customer relationship management software, cloud storage services, and appointment scheduling tools. Service providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services on our behalf and are contractually required to protect it.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Home Path Realty, our clients, or the public.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our business, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected individuals prior to any such transfer.

Data Security

Home Path Realty implements reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Sensitive documents submitted through the agent intake form — including license information, production records, and financial documents — are stored in access-controlled cloud storage accessible only to authorized personnel.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting New York residents' private information, we will provide notification as required under the NYS SHIELD Act (General Business Law §899-aa).

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain accurate business records, and to comply with applicable legal obligations.

• Contact form submissions: retained for a minimum of two years
• Agent application records and onboarding documents: retained for a minimum of three years from the date of application or the end of the agent's association with Home Path Realty, whichever is later
• Financial and tax-related documents: retained in accordance with applicable IRS and New York State recordkeeping requirements

When information is no longer required, we securely dispose of it in a manner appropriate to the sensitivity of the data.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. Residents of New York and California in particular have rights under the NYS SHIELD Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), respectively.

You may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention obligations
• Request that we not sell your personal information (we do not sell personal information)
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 12. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law. We do not discriminate against individuals who exercise their privacy rights.
