At Tri County Living, we recognize the importance of protecting your privacy and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the personal information we collect. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit our website or sign up for our services.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It.

Our website address is: https://tricountylivingtn.com.

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

We also collect information when you:

We use cookies and other tracking technologies to personalize content, serve targeted ads, and analyze site traffic. Google AdSense and other third-party advertisers may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website.

Use of Google Analytics

Tri County Living uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

We have the necessary privacy disclosures and rights from our end users for the collection and processing of their data, including the association of such data with the visitation information Google Analytics collects from our site and/or app property.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. If you want to opt-out, download and install the add-on for your web browser. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is designed to be compatible with Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer. In order to function, the opt-out add-on must be able to load and execute properly on your browser. For Internet Explorer, 3rd-party cookies must be enabled. Learn more about the opt-out and how to properly install the browser add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

  • Provide you with our real estate services
  • Send you our newsletter and other marketing materials
  • Respond to your inquiries or requests
  • Improve our website and services
  • Comply with legal requirements and protect our legal rights

Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:

  • To our service providers who help us operate our website and provide our services
  • To comply with legal requirements, such as a court order or subpoena
  • To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business or assets

Additionally, we may use third-party advertising and affiliate programs, such as Google AdSense and Amazon Associates. These third parties may collect information about your visits to our website and other websites to serve targeted ads or provide relevant offers. We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party advertisers and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.

Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us, as well as embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit or interact with.

Retention of Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your Rights

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

International Data Transfers

Our website is operated in the United States, and your personal information may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers maintain facilities. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, which may have different data protection rules than your country.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will post the updated Privacy Policy on our website, and your continued use of our website constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
