BDA REAL PROPERTIES LLC
BDA REAL PROPERTIES LLC, which operates as BDA Realty, is a residential sales and leasing brokerage working from 1068 E 1300 S, Salt Lake City - 84105-1859, United States (US). This Privacy Policy explains what information the firm collects when a person visits the website, sends a message, requests a valuation or engages the brokerage for a purchase, a sale or a lease, and it explains how that information is used, stored, shared and protected. The policy applies to the website and to the brokerage services offered through it.
By using this website or by sending information to the office, a visitor agrees to the practices described here. Anyone who does not agree with these practices should not use the website or submit information through it. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@bdarealty.lat or raised by telephone at +13263366683.
The brokerage collects information that a visitor chooses to provide and information that is generated automatically when the website is used. Information provided directly includes a name, an email address, a telephone number, a mailing address and the content of any message sent through the contact form or by email. When a person engages the brokerage for a transaction, the firm may also collect details about the property, the financing position, the timeline and the parties involved.
Automatically collected information includes the internet protocol address, the browser type and version, the device type, the pages viewed, the time spent on a page and the referring address that led a visitor to the site. This technical information is used to keep the website working correctly and to understand in general terms how visitors find and use it. The brokerage does not use this technical information to identify an individual visitor by name.
Information may also be received from third parties, such as a lender, a title company, a co-broker or a vendor, when a transaction or a lease requires coordination between the parties. In those situations the brokerage limits what it accepts to the details needed for the job at hand.
Most information reaches the brokerage in one of three ways. The first is a direct submission, such as a completed contact form, an email to hello@bdarealty.lat, a telephone call to +13263366683 or a document provided during an engagement. The second is information generated during the ordinary operation of the website, such as a server log entry or a session record. The third is information supplied by a partner in a transaction, such as a pre-approval letter from a lender or a title commitment from a title company.
A visitor is never required to submit information to read the public pages of the website. Information is only requested when a person wants a reply, a valuation, a showing, a listing or a lease service. Where a field on a form is optional, the visitor may leave it blank without affecting the ability to reach the office.
The brokerage collects and uses information for clear and limited purposes. Those purposes include responding to an inquiry, arranging a showing, preparing a market valuation, listing and marketing a property, screening and placing a tenant, administering a lease, coordinating a closing and maintaining the records that a licensed brokerage is expected to keep.
Information is also used to improve the website, to protect the office against fraud and misuse, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to communicate about a transaction that is already underway. The brokerage does not collect information for the purpose of building advertising profiles, and it does not sell personal information to data brokers or marketing lists.
Where the law requires a stated legal basis for processing, the brokerage relies on several. Processing is based on consent when a visitor submits a form or asks to be contacted. Processing is based on the performance of a contract or the steps leading to a contract when a person engages the brokerage for a purchase, a sale or a lease. Processing is based on a legal obligation when a record must be kept or a disclosure must be made under applicable law. Processing is based on a legitimate interest when the office responds to a message, keeps the website secure or improves its services, provided that those interests do not override the rights of the individual.
A residential transaction generates a substantial record. The brokerage keeps notes from showings, comparative market data, offer documents, inspection summaries, appraisal notes and closing statements as part of the file. These records allow the firm to answer questions after a transaction closes, to support a valuation that was prepared earlier and to meet the record keeping duties that apply to a licensed brokerage.
Property records are kept in the record room at the office and mirrored in electronic storage. Access is limited to the people who need the file for the work at hand. When a client asks for a copy of the file, the brokerage provides it in the format in which it is held, subject to any obligation to withhold a document that belongs to another party or that the law protects.
When the brokerage places a tenant or administers a lease, it collects and holds information about applicants and tenants, including contact details, income and employment verification, rental history and the documentation needed to evaluate an application. That information is used to screen applicants against written criteria, to prepare a lease and to administer the tenancy once it begins.
Tenant information is treated with particular care. Screening results are shared with the owner who is deciding on an application, and with the applicant where the law requires it. Information is not disclosed to unrelated parties, and it is retained only for as long as the tenancy, the record keeping duty and any dispute may require. A tenant who wishes to know what is held about the tenancy may contact the office using the details at the end of this policy.
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning and to remember basic preferences. A cookie is a small file placed on a device that allows the site to recognize a returning browser. Cookies used here are limited to what the site needs to work and to measure general traffic, and they are not used to follow a visitor across unrelated websites for advertising.
A visitor can control cookies through the settings of the browser. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the site behave, and some features may not work as intended when cookies are disabled. The brokerage does not use cookies to collect sensitive information such as financial account numbers.
The brokerage may use a basic analytics service to understand how visitors reach the site and which pages are useful. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate, so the office can see that a page was viewed a certain number of times without learning the identity of the people who viewed it. Where an analytics provider processes data on behalf of the brokerage, the arrangement is limited to the measurement purpose and the provider is not authorized to use the data for its own marketing.
The brokerage shares information only when it is necessary for a service a client has requested or when the law requires it. Information may be shared with a lender, a title company, an inspector, an appraiser, a co-broker, an attorney or a vendor when that party is part of a transaction the client has asked the brokerage to coordinate. Information may also be shared with a landlord or an owner when the brokerage is placing a tenant or administering a lease.
The brokerage does not sell personal information. It does not rent a contact list and it does not trade information for advertising. Where a disclosure is required by a court order, a subpoena or a lawful request from a public authority, the brokerage complies within the limits of the law and, where permitted, informs the client that a request has been received.
The brokerage works with a small number of service providers who help it operate. These may include a website host, an email provider, a document storage service and a transaction management platform. Each provider is chosen for its ability to keep information secure and is expected to use the information only to deliver the service the brokerage has requested. A provider that processes information on behalf of the brokerage does not receive permission to use it for any other purpose.
Information is kept only as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for the operation of the brokerage and for any record keeping or legal requirement that applies. An inquiry that does not lead to an engagement is generally kept for a limited period and then removed. Transaction and lease records are kept for longer, because a client may need them years later and because the law expects a brokerage to preserve them.
When a retention period ends, information is deleted or made unreadable. Where information has been placed in an archive for a legal purpose, the archive is protected and access is limited to the purpose for which it is held.
The brokerage uses reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information against loss, misuse and unauthorized access. Those safeguards include restricted access to the record room, controlled access to electronic files, the use of passwords and routine review of the systems that hold client information. No system can guarantee absolute security, but the office works to keep its protections current and appropriate to the sensitivity of the information it holds.
Anyone who suspects that information has been exposed or misused should contact the office immediately using the details at the end of this policy so the matter can be reviewed and, where necessary, reported to the affected parties and the appropriate authority.
The website and the services offered here are intended for adults. The brokerage does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of thirteen. If the office learns that it has received information from a child under that age without the consent of a parent or guardian, it will delete the information promptly. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted information may contact the office to have it removed.
Depending on where a person lives, the law may give certain rights over personal information. These can include the right to know what information is held, the right to request a copy, the right to ask for correction, the right to ask for deletion where no legal duty requires retention, the right to object to certain processing and the right to withdraw consent where consent was the basis for processing. The brokerage honors these rights as they apply and will explain any limits that a legal duty places on a request.
A person may also choose at any time to stop receiving communications from the brokerage by replying to an email or by calling the office. Ending marketing or general communications does not affect information that must be kept for a transaction that is underway or that has already closed.
A request to access or correct information may be made by email to hello@bdarealty.lat or by telephone at +13263366683. The brokerage will confirm the identity of the requester before releasing information, so that one person cannot obtain the file of another. Where a request concerns information that belongs to a third party or that the law protects, the brokerage will explain what can be provided and what must be withheld.
A correction request should describe the information that is believed to be wrong and the correction that is sought. The office will review the request, make the correction where it is warranted and confirm the outcome in writing, so the record shows what was changed and when.
Residents of California may have additional rights under state law, including the right to know the categories of personal information collected, the sources of that information, the purposes of collection and the categories of parties with whom it is shared. The brokerage does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross context behavioral advertising. A California resident who wishes to exercise a right may contact the office using the details at the end of this policy, and the brokerage will respond as the law requires.
Some browsers offer a do not track setting that asks websites not to follow a visitor across time and across separate sites. Because there is no single agreed standard for how such a signal must be honored, the website does not currently respond to it. The brokerage limits its tracking to the basic measurement described in this policy and does not use tracking to build advertising profiles of visitors.
The website may link to a third party site, such as a mapping service, a lender or a public records resource. The brokerage does not control those sites and is not responsible for the way they handle information. A visitor who follows such a link should review the privacy policy of the site that is reached before providing information there.
The brokerage operates in the United States, and information is processed and stored in the United States. A visitor who reaches the website from another country understands that information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where the privacy rules may differ from those in the visitor own country. Where a transfer requires additional protection, the brokerage takes reasonable steps to provide it.
The brokerage may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect a change in the law, a change in the services offered or a change in the way information is handled. When a material change is made, the updated policy will be posted on this page with a new update date, and where the change is significant the office will take reasonable steps to bring it to the attention of affected clients. Continued use of the website after an update means the revised policy is accepted.
