Privacy Policy

CREST REAL ESTATE, LLC.

Last Updated: May 29, 2026      Effective: May 29, 2026      Applies to: crestrealestate.com

Crest Real Estate, LLC. (“Crest,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at crestrealestate.com (the “Site”), how we use and share it, the tracking technologies we rely on, and the rights and choices available to you — including those provided under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and other applicable privacy laws.

Contents

1.  Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to personal information we collect through the Site and in the course of our land-use advisory, permit-expediting, and entitlement services. It does not apply to information collected on third-party websites or platforms that we link to, or to data practices of partners and affiliates that operate under their own privacy policies.

2.  Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

When you contact us, submit a form, request a consultation, or subscribe to updates (including our Los Angeles Wildfire recovery updates), you may provide:

  • Identifiers such as your name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address;
  • Information about your property, project, or inquiry that you choose to share with us;
  • Any other content you include in messages or forms you submit.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including:

  • Device and browser information (IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers);
  • Usage data (pages viewed, links clicked, referring/exit pages, time spent, and approximate location derived from IP address);
  • Interaction data from embedded content such as videos.

3.  Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We also use related technologies such as tags, pixels, software development kits, and local storage. We group them into four categories: strictly necessary, performance/analytics, advertising/targeting, and functional/embedded content.

Our Site uses Google Tag Manager (container ID GTM-NZB5VNG) to deploy and manage tags. Google Tag Manager is itself a tag-management container that does not set tracking cookies on its own, but it loads the technologies below. The table reflects the technologies identified on the Site together with the services Google Tag Manager commonly delivers for sites of this type.

PLEASE VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING  Because individual tags are configured inside the Google Tag Manager container and may change over time, confirm the exact list against your Google Tag Manager workspace and a live cookie scan. Add or remove rows so this table matches what actually fires, and update the cookie names and durations accordingly.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off through our systems. All other categories are used only as permitted by applicable law and your choices — see Section 9.

4.  How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and provide our advisory, permitting, and entitlement services;
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
  • Analyze usage and measure the performance of our content and marketing;
  • Deliver and measure advertising, where permitted;
  • Send updates you have requested, such as wildfire recovery information;
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

5.  How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information with the following categories of recipients:

  • Service providers who process data on our behalf (hosting, analytics, form handling, communications);
  • Advertising and analytics partners such as Google and Meta, in connection with the technologies described in Section 3;
  • Professional advisors and authorities where required to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights and safety;
  • Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

CALIFORNIA “SHARING” NOTICE  Using advertising cookies such as the Meta Pixel and Google Ads tags may be considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. You can opt out using the methods in Section 7 and Section 9.

6.  Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies and marketing, which you may withdraw at any time;
  • Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the Site, balanced against your rights;
  • Performance of a contract — to respond to and deliver services you request;
  • Legal obligation — to comply with applicable law.

7.  Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right to KnowRequest the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.Right to DeleteRequest deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to exceptions.
Right to CorrectRequest correction of inaccurate personal information.Right to Opt OutOpt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Right to LimitLimit the use of any sensitive personal information, where applicable.Non-DiscriminationYou will not be treated differently for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 16. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may require verification of your identity and the agent’s authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

  Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information  

We also honor opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) transmitted by your browser. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code § 1798.83), California residents may request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes; we do not currently make such disclosures.

8.  Global & Other State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Residents of the EEA and UK may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority. Residents of US states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and others) may have rights similar to those described above. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 16.

9.  Your Tracking Choices

  • Cookie controls. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie banner / preference center, where available, and change your choices at any time.
  • Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings.
  • Global Privacy Control. We treat a valid GPC signal as a request to opt out of sale/sharing for the associated browser or device.
  • Analytics opt-out. You can opt out of Google Analytics via Google’s browser add-on.
  • Advertising opt-outs. You can manage interest-based advertising through the tools at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu, and within your Google and Meta account settings.

10.  Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide our services, comply with legal, accounting, and reporting obligations, and resolve disputes. Cookie lifespans are indicated in Section 3; retention periods otherwise depend on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

11.  Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12.  International Data Transfers

We are based in the United States, and information we collect may be processed in the United States and other countries that may have data protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for cross-border transfers.

13.  Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

14.  Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites and platforms, including our profiles on Facebook, X (Twitter), and Instagram. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

15.  Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated as required by law. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
