ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY AGREEMENT
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Last Updated: October 30, 2026
1. Introduction

Minnesota Realty Company, LLC, which operates www.MnRealtyCo.com ("MnRealtyCo", "we", "our", or "us"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, https://www.mnrealtyco.com, or interact with our services, including real estate listings, contact forms, accounts, and transaction tools.

Your privacy rights and our obligations depend on applicable law, including your state of residence and the requirements and exceptions that apply to our business. This policy does not limit rights that applicable law provides.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Contact details such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
  • Property preferences, price ranges, or areas of interest when you submit inquiry forms
  • Account details, saved searches, favorites, and information or documents you provide for a real estate transaction
  • Messages or feedback you submit through forms or email

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, technical and usage information may include:

  • Browser type, IP address, device type, and operating system
  • Pages visited, time on site, and referring URLs
  • Essential session, security, and preference cookies, and optional analytics information when enabled with your consent

We use these technologies to improve website performance, analyze engagement, and personalize your experience.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use essential cookies for sign-in, security, and preferences. Optional public-site analytics depend on your cookie choices.

  • Google Analytics is configured for optional public-site usage measurement, subject to your consent and our tracking safeguards.
  • We do not currently run advertising campaigns, use a Meta (Facebook) Pixel, or share leads with advertising or lead-sharing services.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. For Google’s data practices, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

Use the website's Cookie Preferences control to review and change your choices for nonessential tracking. Accepting the Terms of Service does not itself authorize optional advertising tracking. Private client and staff dashboard activity and private transaction documents are excluded from public-site marketing analytics and advertising integrations.

4. How We Use Information

Minnesota Realty Company uses collected information to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and provide requested services
  • Facilitate property searches and display IDX MLS listings
  • Connect you with a licensed real estate agent or affiliate lender
  • Improve our website’s performance and customer experience
  • Send updates or marketing communications (with your consent)
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal information. We currently manage customer relationships within our custom website system and do not use an external CRM or lead-sharing service.

However, we may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • With our affiliate company, Minnesota Mortgage Company, for mortgage-related inquiries (only when you request or consent).
  • With Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and authorized IDX providers to display property listings.
  • With service providers supporting hosting, security, email delivery, maps, documents, and other requested website or transaction functions; optional public-site analytics remain subject to your cookie choices.
  • As required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

Information shared to carry out a requested transaction may be provided to authorized participants, such as your agent, closer, lender, or inspector. Third-party services have their own applicable terms and privacy practices. We limit sharing to the relevant purpose and applicable requirements.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Minnesota law generally requires us to retain specified brokerage records for at least six years, measured from closing or, if a transaction is not completed, the document date. Legal holds or other requirements may require longer retention. Closing an account does not automatically delete required transaction records. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

7. Your Privacy Rights (U.S. Residents)

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate or outdated information
  • Opt out of data sharing for advertising or analytics purposes
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, email us at Info@MnRealtyCo.com.
We may verify your identity or authority and will respond within the deadlines required by applicable law. Some information must be retained for legal or transaction-record obligations.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
This includes HTTPS (TLS) encryption and secure data storage.
While no system is completely secure, we take steps to minimize risk consistent with industry standards.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such data, it will be deleted promptly.

10. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party or affiliate websites (e.g., lender sites, MLS listings).
We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of every external site you visit.

11. Policy Updates

Minnesota Realty Company, LLC may update this Privacy Policy periodically.
Any changes will be posted here with a revised "Last Updated" date. We will update this policy and request any required consent before introducing materially different data uses or optional advertising tracking.
If material changes occur, we will notify users via email or on our website homepage.
