Privacy Policy
Draft for review by ViewPoint Realty. This page explains what this website actually does today. It is not legal advice, and it should be approved before the site is treated as final.

How it is used

- To prepare property information you asked for.
- For Have David Search For You, David's assistant may use the criteria you submit to search listings available to the brokerage. David reviews results himself before anything is sent to you.

Your personal information is not sold.
Where it is stored
This is a static site hosted by Netlify. Form submissions are collected with Netlify Forms (Netlify, Inc.). Submissions may be stored on Netlify's servers, which can be outside Canada, and emailed to David at david.macleod@viewpoint.ca when form notifications are turned on in Netlify. This site does not currently send form data to Squarespace, Brevo, Google Forms or Jotform. If a newsletter service is connected later, this page should name that service and what it stores.
Cookies, logs and the map
These pages do not set advertising or analytics cookies, and no analytics tool is installed. Netlify may process technical connection data, such as an IP address, in server logs to operate and protect the site. The contact page embeds a map from OpenStreetMap. Loading that map can send your IP address to OpenStreetMap. If analytics are added later, this page should describe them before they are turned on.
Consent, unsubscribe and withdrawal
Consent checkboxes are not pre-ticked. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing david.macleod@viewpoint.ca or calling 902-564-6600. Withdrawing consent does not undo handling that was already done lawfully. Once email newsletters are being sent, each message needs a working unsubscribe link, and unsubscribe requests should be honoured promptly. Canada's anti-spam law allows no more than 10 business days.
Access, correction and deletion
You may ask to see, correct or delete personal information you submitted through this site, subject to professional record-keeping duties and the law, including PIPEDA. Contact David using the details above. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
How long it is kept
To be confirmed with ViewPoint Realty A specific retention schedule is not set yet. Until then, information is kept long enough to respond to your enquiry and to meet record-keeping duties that apply to real estate work in Nova Scotia.
Children
This site is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
