Benjamin Newbern respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected,
used, and shared when you visit BenjaminNewbern.com, contact me through the website, sign up for updates,
or otherwise communicate with me about real estate services.

1. Information I Collect

I may collect information that you voluntarily provide through this website, including:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Property address or area of interest

  • Information you include in a contact form or message

  • Whether you are interested in buying, selling, estate property, local market information, open houses, or other real estate services.

This website may also collect basic technical and usage information automatically, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referring websites, approximate location, and interactions with the site.

2. How I Use Your Information

I may use your information to:

  • Respond to your questions or messages

  • Send occasional email updates if you choose to sign up

  • Improve the website and understand how visitors use it

  • Maintain business records

  • Comply with legal, regulatory, brokerage, MLS, or professional obligations

Submitting a form or signing up for updates does not create a client relationship by itself. A real estate agency relationship is established only as permitted by applicable Alabama law and required brokerage documentation.

If you sign up for email updates, I may send you occasional real estate-related messages, including information about selling, buying, estate property, local market notes, open houses, featured listings, or real estate services.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email, if available, or by contacting me directly at:

BenjaminNewbern.com is hosted on Squarespace. Squarespace may collect site usage information and other technical information when visitors use websites hosted on its services. Squarespace states that visitors to customer websites should review both Squarespace’s privacy policy and the website owner’s privacy policy to understand how information is collected and used.

This website may use cookies, analytics, embedded content, or similar technologies to help operate the site, understand visitor activity, improve performance, and support basic marketing or communication functions.

Depending on the website settings, Squarespace and connected tools may allow cookie banner or consent settings. Google’s Squarespace consent guidance notes that certain settings can prevent non-essential Squarespace Analytics or Google Analytics cookies from being placed until a visitor accepts cookies.

You can usually adjust cookie settings through your browser. Some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

This website may link to third-party websites or services, including but not limited to:

  • Squarespace

  • CRC Realty resources

  • Social media platforms

  • Email marketing or contact form tools

  • MLS, property search, or real estate-related services

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. Please review the privacy policies of those services before submitting information through them.

6. How Information May Be Shared

I do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense of selling a contact list.

I may share information when reasonably necessary to provide real estate services or respond to your request, including with:

  • CRC Realty

Real estate transactions often require sharing information with other parties involved in the transaction. Information shared during a transaction may also be governed by contracts, brokerage forms, MLS rules, law, and professional obligations.

I use reasonable efforts to protect the information submitted through this website. However, no website, email system, form, or internet transmission is completely secure.

Please do not submit highly sensitive information through a general website form, including Social Security numbers, bank account information, copies of identification, financial account numbers, or confidential legal documents unless specifically instructed through a secure process.

8. Data Retention

I may keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, provide real estate services, maintain business records, comply with brokerage or legal obligations, resolve disputes, or support legitimate business purposes.
