Privacy notice.
The categories of personal information we collect or obtain, the purposes for which we process them, the parties to whom they are disclosed, and the rights available to you.
C&K Realty Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice (the “Notice”) is issued by C & K Realty, a registered trade name of Charline Vanderbrugghen LLC, a Florida limited liability company and a licensed Florida real estate brokerage holding corporate registration number CQ1069829, with its principal place of business at 4109 SW 9th Pl, Cape Coral, Florida 33914 (“C&K Realty,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Stars Vacation Rentals is an affiliated undertaking engaged in the management of vacation rental properties on behalf of owners; where your correspondence with us concerns the letting or management of a property, the personal information you supply may be shared with, and processed by, both undertakings for that limited purpose.
This Notice describes the categories of personal information that we collect or otherwise obtain from and about visitors to ckrealtyswfl.com and users of the services made available through it (collectively, the “Site”); the purposes for which, and the legal bases upon which, such information is processed; the categories of recipients to whom such information is disclosed; the periods for which it is retained; the technical and organisational measures by which it is safeguarded; and the rights that you may be entitled to exercise in respect of it. We do not collect, obtain, use, disclose, or otherwise process personal information except as described in this Notice or as you have otherwise consented or been separately notified.
You are encouraged to read this Notice in its entirety so that you may understand our practices in relation to your personal information. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have been afforded the opportunity to review this Notice. If you do not accept the practices described herein, the appropriate course is to refrain from accessing or using the Site, and, in respect of the tracking technologies described at section 3, to exercise one or more of the control mechanisms enumerated at section 3.3.
This Notice may be amended from time to time in the manner described at section 14. Continued access to or use of the Site following the publication of an amended Notice constitutes acknowledgement of that amendment, and you are accordingly encouraged to review this page periodically.
C&K Realty is established in, and conducts its operations from, the United States of America. Where you access the Site from a jurisdiction outside the United States, you should be aware that any personal information you transmit to us is transmitted to, processed within, and stored in the United States, and that the legal protections afforded to personal information under United States federal and Florida state law may be materially less protective than those available in your own jurisdiction. Section 12 sets out supplementary provisions applicable to residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
1. Categories of personal information we collect or obtain
We collect or obtain the following categories of personal information from and about consumers, in each case only to the extent that the relevant interaction occurs:
- Identifiers and contact information, comprising given name and surname, electronic mail address, and telephone number where voluntarily supplied, submitted through one of the enquiry instruments described at section 1.2 below;
- Real property identifiers, comprising the street address of a property in respect of which you have requested a valuation, a canal or waterway access determination, or other transactional assistance, together with any descriptive particulars of that property that you elect to furnish;
- Transactional preference information, comprising the responses you provide to the questionnaire instrument published at Profile Builder and the Home Finder application, including budget parameters, locational preferences, water access requirements, intended use, timeframe, and the municipality of your current residence;
- Free-form content, comprising any question, comment, instruction, or other narrative material that you voluntarily enter into a free-text field on the Site or into the live chat interface described at section 4.3;
- Technical and network information, comprising the Internet Protocol address from which your request originates, the user-agent string identifying your browser and operating system, the device class and approximate screen dimensions of the device employed, the referring Uniform Resource Locator where one is transmitted, and the date, time, and target of each request made to our servers;
- Behavioural and interaction information, comprising the pages of the Site that you request, the sequence and duration of those requests, the interface elements with which you interact, the search parameters you submit to the canal lookup instrument, and such further information as is collected by means of the tracking technologies described at section 3;
- Advertising identifiers and inferences, comprising cookie-based and platform-assigned identifiers set or read by the advertising technologies described at section 3.2, together with the audience-membership inferences derived therefrom by the platform operators named at section 4.4.
1.1 Categories we do not request: No field, prompt, or instrument upon the Site solicits a Social Security number, a taxpayer identification number, a financial account number, a payment card number, biometric information, precise geolocation coordinates, or information concerning racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical belief, trade union membership, health status, sexual orientation, or citizenship or immigration status; nor is any authentication credential collected, the Site providing no account, no login facility, and no persistent user session by reference to which such a credential could be required. You may nevertheless volunteer information of any of those descriptions within a free-text field or a live chat conversation, those being open-ended by their nature; where you do so it is processed as an ordinary part of the correspondence in which it appears, for the purpose of answering you, and we would ask that you refrain from supplying it.
1.2 Sources of collection: Personal information within the foregoing categories is collected or obtained: (a) directly from you, where you complete and submit the contact instrument at Contact, the valuation instruments at Sell Your Home and Find My Home Value, the report instrument published within the Canal Map, or the Home Finder application, or where you correspond with us by electronic mail, telephone, or in person; (b) automatically, by operation of the cookies, pixel tags, software development kits, web beacons, and analogous tracking technologies described at section 3, at the time you request a page of the Site; and (c) from the third-party processors and advertising platform operators identified at section 4, in the form of aggregated reporting and audience metrics derived from information originally collected under limb (b).
1.3 Public record: You should be aware that the conveyance of real property in the State of Florida is a matter of public record. The names of the parties, the consideration paid, the legal description of the parcel, the ad valorem tax assessment, and associated instruments are recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Lee County and are, as a general matter, available for public inspection and republication by commercial aggregators, irrespective of the involvement of any brokerage in the transaction and irrespective of the operation of this Notice.
2. Purposes for which personal information is processed
We process the categories of personal information enumerated at section 1 for the following purposes, and for no purpose that is materially incompatible with them:
- To provide real estate brokerage services, market knowledge, and transactional guidance in response to an enquiry that you have initiated;
- To prepare and transmit to you a Canal Report or comparable water-access determination in respect of a property address that you have submitted for that purpose;
- To prepare and transmit an indicative opinion as to the market value of a property that you have identified;
- To identify properties, neighbourhoods, and categories of inventory that correspond to the preferences you have expressed, and to communicate the same to you;
- To maintain correspondence with you concerning an enquiry, a prospective transaction, or a transaction in progress, by such means of communication as you have supplied;
- To operate, maintain, secure, monitor, diagnose, and improve the Site and the services delivered through it, including the detection, prevention, and investigation of automated abuse, credential-harvesting reconnaissance, and other unauthorised activity;
- To measure the performance and reach of the Site, to determine which of its pages and instruments are consulted and which are not, and to inform editorial and structural decisions concerning its content;
- To conduct marketing outreach, audience construction, and retargeting, including the presentation to you of advertising for C&K Realty on platforms and properties operated by the parties named at section 4.4 subsequent to and by reason of your interaction with the Site, in the manner more particularly described at section 4.4;
- To evaluate, and where appropriate to respond to, correspondence concerning professional association with the brokerage;
- To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, to comply with obligations imposed upon a licensed Florida real estate brokerage by statute, rule, or order, and to respond to lawful process; and
- For such further purposes as are described at sections 3 and 4 of this Notice.
3. Cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies
3.1 General: When you request a page of the Site, information is collected from your browser by automatic means, including by the deployment of cookies (small text records written to, and subsequently read from, the storage allocated to your browser by your device) and pixel tags (also termed web beacons or clear GIFs, being minimal graphical or scripted elements embedded within a page or an advertisement whose retrieval discloses to the serving party the fact and circumstances of that retrieval). Such technologies permit the party deploying them to recognise a returning browser; to enumerate distinct visitors and repeat visits; to determine the source from which a visitor arrived; to record the sequence of interface interactions performed; to assess the performance and error behaviour of the Site; to obtain technical particulars concerning the requesting device, browser, operating system, and network address; to detect and mitigate certain categories of automated attack; and to construct and maintain advertising audiences. Certain of these technologies are operated not by us but by the third parties identified at section 4, to whom information concerning your interaction with the Site is transmitted for the advertising, analytics, security, and communication purposes there described; cookies do not, in any event, confer upon any party access to the contents of your device beyond the storage allocated to the browser itself.
3.2 Do Not Track: There exists no uniform industry standard governing the interpretation of the “Do Not Track” header field or of analogous browser-transmitted preference signals, and the Site does not presently respond to such signals, save that where a legally recognised opt-out preference signal, including without limitation the Global Privacy Control, is transmitted by your browser, we will honour that signal to the extent that we are obliged to do so under the law applicable to your residence.
3.3 Control mechanisms: The technologies described at section 3.1 and operated by the parties identified at section 4 may be restricted, blocked, or removed by the following means, none of which will impair your ability to read the Site or to submit an enquiry through it: (a) the cookie controls provided within the settings interface of your browser, including the facility to block third-party cookies generally or to clear existing cookies; (b) the use of a private or incognito browsing mode; (c) the installation of a content-blocking or tracking-protection extension, it being noted that Safari, Firefox, and Brave restrict a substantial proportion of such technologies by default configuration; (d) the advertising preference controls maintained by the platform operators at Meta ad preferences and Google My Ad Center; and (e) the industry opt-out mechanisms maintained by the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info and by the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.
3.4 Consent, and the absence of a consent interface: The Site presents no cookie consent banner or comparable interstitial interface. In place of one, the advertising and analytics technologies operated by the parties identified at section 4.4 are not deployed at all where the visitor’s browser reports a time zone falling within Europe, that suppression being applied by the Site’s own code before any such technology is requested, and being applied likewise where no time zone can be read; the consequence is that for a visitor within the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom no advertising or analytics processing of the kind described at section 3.1 occurs, and no consent in respect of it is therefore sought or required. Time zone is a proxy for location and not a determination of it, and we do not represent otherwise: a virtual private network, a misconfigured device, or a traveller will defeat it in either direction. The cookieless page-view counter, the automated-abuse scoring applied to our form instruments, and the live chat facility are not suppressed, being respectively cookieless, necessary to the security of the Site, and functional to a conversation you have yourself initiated. For all other visitors, no provision of United States federal law and no provision of the Florida Digital Bill of Rights presently obliges an undertaking of our description and scale to obtain affirmative consent prior to the deployment of those technologies, and the control mechanisms enumerated at section 3.3 remain available to you at your election.
4. Disclosure of personal information to third parties
In the course of operating the Site and delivering the services described at section 2, personal information within the categories enumerated at section 1 is disclosed to the following categories of recipient. No recipient is authorised to sell your personal information, and no recipient is remunerated by us for the construction of a profile concerning you beyond the audience-membership function described at section 4.4.
4.1 Form transmission: Formspree, Inc. receives the entirety of the content of any form instrument that you submit, comprising identifiers, contact information, real property identifiers, transactional preference information, and free-form content, for the purpose of transmitting the same to our electronic mail account, its own processing of that content being governed by the notice published at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
4.2 Infrastructure: Cloudflare, Inc. receives technical and network information, including your Internet Protocol address and the particulars of each request, in its capacity as the operator of the content delivery network, edge compute environment, and object storage upon which the Site and the canal lookup instrument are hosted, for the purposes of content delivery, request routing, and network security; and separately, in its capacity as the operator of a cookieless page-view measurement facility, receives the page requested and coarse device and country classification, its own processing in each capacity being governed by the notice published at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
4.3 Live chat: tawk.to inc. receives technical and network information and behavioural information in respect of each page upon which the chat interface is present, together with the entirety of any conversation that you initiate and any identifier that you supply within it. Tawk.to privacy policy.
4.4 Advertising platform operators: Meta Platforms, Inc. and Google LLC receive behavioural and interaction information, technical and network information, and advertising identifiers, by operation of the technologies described at section 3.1, for the purposes of audience construction, advertising delivery, conversion measurement, and analytics reporting; no such transmission occurs in respect of a visitor to whom the suppression described at section 3.4 applies. Google LLC additionally receives technical and behavioural signals in its capacity as the operator of the automated-abuse scoring service employed upon our form instruments, the processing undertaken by each of those undertakings in respect of the information so received being governed by their respective notices published at facebook.com/privacy/policy and policies.google.com/privacy.
4.5 Multiple listing service: Property search functionality is presented within an inline frame served by the Royal Palm Coast Realtor® Association multiple listing service. Information collected within that frame is collected by that association and its vendors, is governed by their respective terms and privacy practices rather than by this Notice, and is outside our control.
4.6 Professional referrals: Where you request an introduction to a lender, inspector, surveyor, title company, insurer, contractor, or attorney, we disclose to that party only such information as you have instructed us to disclose, and we receive no consideration conditioned upon the disclosure.
4.7 Absence of font and social embedding: The typefaces employed by the Site are served from our own infrastructure and not from a third-party font delivery network; accordingly no font vendor receives your network address by reason of your visit. As at the effective date of this Notice the Site embeds no social media widget, no third-party comment system, and no third-party video player other than as disclosed at section 4.5; were such an element to be introduced, this Notice would be amended in the manner described at section 14.
4.8 Legally compelled and protective disclosure: We disclose personal information where such disclosure is necessary to comply with an applicable law, rule, or regulation; to respond to a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful process; to respond to a lawful request by a regulatory authority, including the Florida Real Estate Commission and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation; to protect the vital interests of any natural person; to detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity; or to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights or those of a third party. In the event that we sell, assign, merge, or otherwise transfer all or a material part of our business or assets, personal information held by us may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the transferee being bound by commitments no less protective than those contained in this Notice.
4.9 Sale and sharing: We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration or for other valuable consideration, as the term “sell” is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended, or under any analogous statute of another state. We do, however, disclose behavioural and interaction information and advertising identifiers to the platform operators named at section 4.4 for the purpose of targeted advertising, and such disclosure may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising, or “processing for targeted advertising,” as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and under the comprehensive privacy statutes of the states enumerated at section 9.3. We state this affirmatively rather than rely upon a definitional construction, and the opt-out mechanisms available to you in respect of that disclosure are enumerated at sections 3.3 and 9.
4.10 Telephone numbers: A telephone number supplied through a form instrument is supplied at your election and is used to respond to the enquiry to which it relates and to matters arising from it, and for no unrelated marketing purpose. Such numbers are not sold, leased, or disclosed to any third party for that party’s own marketing or promotional purposes; and we operate no automated telephone dialling system, no artificial or prerecorded voice campaign, and no bulk short message service marketing programme of any description.
5. Linked and embedded content
The Site contains hyperlinks to, and in the instance described at section 4.5 an inline frame containing, resources operated by parties other than C&K Realty. Such resources are outside our control and are not governed by this Notice. Where you follow such a hyperlink or interact with such a frame, the operator of the destination resource may collect personal information from you and may process it for its own purposes and in accordance with its own privacy practices, which may differ materially from those described herein. We make no representation as to, and accept no responsibility for, the privacy practices of any such operator, and you are encouraged to consult the applicable notice before transmitting personal information to any of them.
6. Advertising presented upon the Site
The Site does not host display advertising inventory, does not participate in any advertising exchange or supply-side platform as a publisher, and does not present sponsored editorial content or paid placement within its pages. The advertising activity described at sections 2, 3.2, and 4.4 is activity by which advertising for C&K Realty is presented to you upon properties operated by third parties, and not activity by which third-party advertising is presented to you upon the Site.
7. Retention of personal information
Personal information is retained for such period as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, to satisfy an obligation imposed upon us by law, or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim, whichever period is the longest. The following retention parameters apply:
- Enquiry correspondence: Electronic mail generated by a form submission is retained within our mail account for so long as the enquiry remains live and for a period of three years from our last contact with you, after which it is deleted; and it is deleted earlier upon request, save where a further limb of this section applies.
- Processor-held copies: Formspree retains a copy of submission history for approximately thirty days under the service tier we subscribe to, after which the electronic mail record held by us constitutes the sole retained copy.
- Chat transcripts: Retained by tawk.to inc. under the retention configuration applicable to our account with that provider.
- Advertising and analytics data: Retained by Meta Platforms, Inc. and Google LLC under retention periods established by those undertakings and not by us. Audience membership derived from your interaction with the Site expires under the parameters configured within the respective advertising platform.
- Transactional records: Where information becomes part of a real estate transaction, section 475.5015 of the Florida Statutes requires a brokerage to preserve its books, accounts and records for at least five years, and, where such records become the subject of litigation, for at least two years following the conclusion of the civil action or of any appellate proceeding, whichever is later, and in no case for a total of less than five years. Records within that description are retained accordingly and are not subject to deletion at your request during the applicable period.
Upon expiry of whichever of the foregoing periods is the longest as applied to the information in question, and to the extent permitted by the law then in force, personal information is deleted, anonymised, de-identified, or otherwise disposed of by such means as are appropriate to the medium in which it is held.
8. Children
The Site is directed to persons engaged in the purchase, sale, letting, or management of real property and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly or intentionally request, collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process personal information from any person under sixteen years of age, a threshold we have adopted notwithstanding that the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act prescribes a threshold of thirteen; and where we become aware that personal information has been collected from a person below that threshold, we will delete that information and will instruct any recipient to whom it has been disclosed to do likewise.
9. Rights concerning personal information
9.1 Generally: Irrespective of your place of residence, you may request that we disclose to you the personal information we hold concerning you, that we correct any inaccuracy within it, that we delete it, or that we cease all further communication with you. Requests are considered on their merits and are answered within the period prescribed by the law applicable to your residence or, where no such period is prescribed, within thirty days. Certain information may be exempt from a request, including where retention is required to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim. Your rights, and the extent of our corresponding obligations, vary according to your state or country of residence, and you may be resident in a jurisdiction in respect of which we are not obliged, or are not able, to fulfil a request.
9.2 California residents: Where you are a resident of the State of California, you may be entitled, subject to the exceptions provided by statute, to: be informed at or before the point of collection of the categories of personal information collected, the purposes of collection, whether the information is sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising, and the retention period applicable to each category; request disclosure, in respect of the preceding twelve months, of the categories of personal information collected, the categories of source, the business or commercial purpose of collection, the categories of third party to whom disclosure was made, and the specific pieces of personal information held; request disclosure, in respect of the preceding twelve months, of the categories of personal information sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising and the categories of third party to whom the same was sold or shared; request deletion; request correction; opt out of any sale; opt out of the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, which activity we affirmatively disclose at section 4.9; limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, which category we do not collect; and not be subjected to discriminatory or retaliatory treatment by reason of the exercise of any of the foregoing.
9.3 Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy statutes: Where you are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may be entitled, subject to the exceptions and to the applicability thresholds provided by the statute of your state, to: confirm whether we process personal information concerning you; access that information; obtain a copy of it in a portable and, where technically feasible, readily usable format; correct inaccuracies within it; obtain its deletion; opt out of processing for the purposes of targeted advertising; opt out of any sale; opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects, which activity we do not conduct; and not be subjected to discriminatory or retaliatory treatment by reason of the exercise of any of the foregoing. A resident of Delaware may additionally obtain a list of the categories of third party to whom personal information has been disclosed; a resident of Oregon may additionally obtain a list of the specific third parties to whom personal information has been disclosed.
9.4 Florida residents: The Florida Digital Bill of Rights confers rights of access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out upon Florida residents in respect of controllers meeting the revenue and activity thresholds prescribed by that statute. C&K Realty does not presently meet those thresholds. We will nonetheless entertain a request made by a Florida resident upon the same basis as a request made under section 9.1.
9.5 Nevada residents: Where you are a resident of the State of Nevada, you may direct that we not sell your covered information, as that term is defined under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A, by submitting a verifiable request in the manner described at section 10. As stated at section 4.9, we do not sell personal information.
10. Exercise of data rights
10.1 Making a request: A request under section 9, or the withdrawal of a consent previously given, may be made by electronic mail to info@ckrealtyswfl.com or by telephone to (239) 414-4860. A request should specify the right invoked and should contain sufficient particulars to enable us to identify the personal information to which it relates, no account, no form, and no fee being required, and no adverse consequence following from the making of a request.
10.2 Verification: We reserve the right to verify your identity before responding, by such means as are proportionate to the sensitivity of the information requested and the nature of the request, which may include confirmation of the electronic mail address or telephone number associated with the information held.
10.3 Authorised agents: Where the law applicable to your residence so provides, a request may be submitted on your behalf by an authorised agent, upon production of signed written authorisation or a power of attorney, and subject to our verifying your identity and the agent’s authority directly with you.
10.4 Appeals: Where we decline a request in whole or in part, you may appeal that decision by writing to info@ckrealtyswfl.com within thirty days of our decision, stating the grounds of appeal. An appeal is determined by the broker of record and the outcome, together with reasons, is communicated to you in writing within a further thirty days; and where an appeal is refused, and where the law applicable to your residence so provides, you may refer the matter to the attorney general or to the supervisory authority of your state.
11. Supplementary notice for California residents
This section supplements the foregoing and is provided pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together, the “CCPA”), without prejudice to the question whether C&K Realty meets the applicability thresholds prescribed by section 1798.140(d) of that Act, which it does not presently do.
Within the preceding twelve months we have collected the categories of personal information enumerated at sections 1 and 3, from the sources enumerated at section 1.2, for the business and commercial purposes enumerated at section 2, and have disclosed those categories to the categories of recipient enumerated at section 4; and within that same period we have not sold personal information, including the personal information of consumers under sixteen years of age, as the term “sell” is defined by the CCPA.
Within the preceding twelve months we have shared personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, as that term is defined by the CCPA, in the manner and to the recipients described at sections 3.1 and 4.4, such sharing having commenced upon the deployment described in our version 1.2 change note. We have not shared for that purpose the personal information of any consumer known by us to be under sixteen years of age; and the mechanisms by which you may opt out of that sharing are enumerated at sections 3.3 and 9.2.
We do not collect, use, or disclose sensitive personal information as that term is defined by the CCPA; we offer no financial incentive conditioned upon the collection, sale, or sharing of personal information; and for the purposes of California Civil Code section 1798.83, commonly termed the “Shine the Light” law, we do not disclose personal information to third parties for those parties’ own direct marketing purposes.
12. Supplementary notice for residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom
This section applies only where you are resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. For the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and of the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, C&K Realty is the controller in respect of personal data collected through the Site.
12.1 Lawful bases. The advertising and analytics technologies described at section 3.1 are not deployed in respect of visitors to whom the suppression at section 3.4 applies, and no lawful basis is accordingly engaged for them. In respect of the processing that does occur, we rely upon: consent, in respect of any marketing communication, which consent may be withdrawn at any time in the manner described at section 15; steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract, in respect of an enquiry that you have initiated; performance of a contract, in respect of a transaction in progress; legitimate interests, in respect of the operation, security, and measurement of the Site, those interests having been balanced against your rights and freedoms; and compliance with a legal obligation, in respect of the retention described at section 7 and the disclosure described at section 4.8.
12.2 Rights: Subject to the exceptions provided by the applicable Regulation, you may exercise rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection to processing including objection to processing for direct marketing purposes, withdrawal of consent, and the right not to be subject to a decision based solely upon automated processing producing legal or similarly significant effects, which last we do not undertake, such requests being made in the manner described at section 10.
12.3 Transfers: Personal data collected through the Site is transferred to and processed within the United States, and the advertising platform operators named at section 4.4, which operate globally, effect onward transfers under their own respective transfer mechanisms.
12.4 Supervisory authority: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
13. Protection of personal information
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, and unauthorised access. These comprise encryption of the Site and of form submissions in transit, access controls over the accounts through which enquiries are received, and configuration measures at our infrastructure provider. Two of them are structural rather than configurational, and are therefore stated in terms: the address index underlying the canal lookup instrument is held in private storage from which no bulk dataset is transmitted to a browser, a single-property query returning a single answer; and the Site incorporates no account, no credential store and no payment processing facility, with the consequence that no authentication secret and no financial instrument is held by it at all. The particular technical measures in force are reviewed from time to time and may change without amendment of this Notice, provided the standard of protection is maintained.
No method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is entirely secure, and we accordingly do not warrant absolute security; what we do state, without qualification, is that this Site holds no payment credential and no government identifier of any description whatsoever.
14. Amendment of this Notice
This Notice may be amended to reflect a change in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Upon any such amendment the version number and effective date appearing at the head of this page are advanced and a note describing the substance of the amendment is appended at section 17; and where an amendment is material, and in particular where it concerns the categories of personal information collected or the purposes for which they are processed, notice of that amendment is displayed upon the page for a period rather than being effected silently.
15. Opting out of communications from us
To cease receiving communications from us, reply to any message with the word “stop,” select the unsubscribe facility within any electronic mail we send, or write to info@ckrealtyswfl.com. No reason need be given and no adverse consequence follows; and an opt-out from marketing communication does not of itself terminate correspondence necessary to a transaction in progress, which correspondence you may terminate separately by instructing us to that effect.

17. Version history
Version 1.3 (17 August 2026). The Notice was restructured into the present sixteen-section form and expanded to address matters previously omitted, including the treatment of opt-out preference signals at section 3.3, the absence of a consent interface at section 3.4, the appeals procedure at section 10.4, the state-by-state rights matrix at sections 9.2 to 9.5, and the supplementary California notice at section 11; no new category of personal information is collected by reason of this version and no purpose of processing is added by it. Following review, the advertising and analytics technologies described at section 3.1 were additionally configured not to operate at all in respect of visitors whose browsers report a European time zone, as described at section 3.4, and the statement of lawful bases at section 12.1 was conformed to that. The retention period applicable to enquiry correspondence, previously expressed as indefinite, is now three years from last contact, and the statutory retention period applicable to brokerage records is now stated as the five years that section 475.5015 of the Florida Statutes in fact prescribes.
Version 1.2 (16 August 2026). The Site commenced operating advertising and analytics technologies supplied by Meta Platforms, Inc. and Google LLC. Version 1.1 had stated that the Site operated no advertising tracker, no advertising cookie, no advertising network affiliation, and no Google Analytics property, and that personal information was not shared for cross-context behavioural advertising, which statements were accurate when made and ceased to be accurate upon that deployment, that cessation being the reason for which version 1.2 was issued.
Version 1.1 (4 August 2026). Version 1.0 had stated that the Site operated no analytics product. Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless page-view counter, was in fact already operating upon every page, and the record was corrected accordingly.
Version 1.3 · Effective 17 August 2026 · Supersedes version 1.2 of 16 August 2026 · See also our Terms & licence.
