3. SMS AND TEXT MESSAGE COMMUNICATIONS

If you separately opt in to receive text messages from us, we may send messages relating to your inquiry, requested information, appointment updates, service communications, custom-home opportunities, service updates, or promotional communications, depending on the type of consent you provide.

Consent to receive text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing any property, product, or service.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to any text message you receive from us. You may reply HELP for assistance.

Your decision to opt out of text messages will not prevent you from contacting us or receiving services through other available communication methods.

4. MOBILE INFORMATION AND SMS CONSENT

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Your mobile telephone number, SMS opt-in information, and text messaging consent will not be sold, rented, or provided to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

5. EMAIL AND TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS

If you provide your email address, we may use it to respond to your inquiry, provide requested information, communicate about appointments or services, and, where permitted by applicable law, send relevant business communications.

If you provide your telephone number and the applicable consent, we may contact you regarding your inquiry, requested information, appointments, real estate or custom-home plans, and related services.

Where disclosed at the time consent is obtained, telephone communications may use automated technology, prerecorded messages, or artificial intelligence-assisted voice technology.

You may ask us to stop particular communications at any time using the opt-out method provided in the communication or by contacting us directly.

6. WEBSITE CHAT AND AUTOMATED SERVICES

Our website may provide chat, automated messaging, or artificial intelligence-assisted features to help respond to questions, collect inquiry information, assist with scheduling, or connect you with our team.

Information you voluntarily provide through these features may be used to respond to your request and provide relevant services.

Use of a website chat feature by itself does not constitute consent to receive marketing text messages. SMS communications will be handled according to the consent choices you make when providing your mobile number.

7. SERVICE PROVIDERS

We may use service providers that perform functions on our behalf, including website hosting, customer relationship management, communications, scheduling, analytics, information technology, and customer support.

These service providers may process information as necessary to perform services for us and are expected to handle such information appropriately and consistently with applicable requirements.

As stated above, mobile information and text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

8. COOKIES AND WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, understand website usage, improve performance, and measure the effectiveness of our services and marketing.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

9. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. DATA RETENTION

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain business records, provide requested services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal requirements.

Opting out of one communication channel does not necessarily opt you out of other communication channels for which we have a lawful basis to contact you.
