Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 20, 2026

Statewide of Houghton (“Statewide of Houghton,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit statewideofhoughton.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you contact us, request information about a property, ask a question through a form, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the details you choose to share. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, and any information you include in your message or property inquiry.

Information collected automatically. When you browse the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this information through cookies and similar technologies (see Cookies and Tracking Technologies below).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and requests for property information
• Connect you with one of our agents and provide real estate services
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can make it more useful
• Send information you have requested or that relates to a transaction or inquiry
• Comply with applicable laws and protect the security of the Site

We do not sell your personal information.

Property Search and MLS Data

Property listings on the Site are provided in part through the Internet Data Exchange (IDX) program of the Upper Peninsula Association of REALTORS (UPAR) MLS. IDX information is provided exclusively for your personal, non-commercial use and may only be used to identify properties you may be interested in purchasing. Listing data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed accurate by the MLS.

When you search for or inquire about properties, that activity may be associated with the contact information you provide so that an agent can follow up with you.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep the Site functioning properly, and help us understand how the Site is used. We also use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, which set their own cookies to measure traffic and usage patterns.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not function as intended.

How We Share Information

We share information only as described here:

• Our agents. Inquiries and contact details are shared with our agents so they can assist you.
• Service providers. We share information with third parties that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, form processing, and analytics. These providers may only use the information to perform services for us.
• MLS and real estate partners. Where required to facilitate a transaction or property inquiry, we may share relevant information with the MLS, cooperating brokers, or other parties involved in a real estate transaction.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

We may share aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you.

Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices and Rights

You can choose not to provide personal information, though doing so may limit your ability to use certain features of the Site, such as submitting an inquiry.

You may also adjust your browser settings to manage cookies, and you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us using the information below.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. The Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because no common industry standard for them has been adopted.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
