Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Summit Real Estate, Inc. (“Summit,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website at summitofny.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit the Site or contact us through it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide Directly

When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, the type of inquiry you select, an optional property address, and the message you write. We collect this information only when you choose to contact us.

b) Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our hosting provider (Vercel) records basic technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate region (country and state level), pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used solely for site performance and security. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party tracking cookies. We do not build behavioral profiles of visitors.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide real estate brokerage services
• Send transactional emails, such as confirming receipt of your inquiry
• Improve the Site's performance and security
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for marketing campaigns by third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the Site:

• Vercel — site hosting and privacy-friendly analytics. Vercel does not store IP addresses or use tracking cookies. Vercel Privacy Policy
• Sanity.io — content management system powering the blog and listings. Sanity stores no visitor personal information. Sanity Privacy Policy
• Resend — transactional email service that delivers contact form submissions to Summit and sends you a confirmation message. Resend Privacy Policy
• Cloudflare Turnstile — a privacy-respecting alternative to reCAPTCHA that protects the contact form from spam. Turnstile does not track users across sites. Cloudflare Privacy Policy

5. Cookies

This Site uses minimal essential cookies set by Vercel for basic site functionality. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not display a cookie consent banner because no consent-required tracking occurs on this Site. Your browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies at any time if desired.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained in Summit's email records for the duration of the business relationship, plus any period required by New York real estate law for record-keeping — typically three years from the close of a transaction. Site analytics data is retained by Vercel in accordance with its standard policies.

7. Your Rights

Under New York's SHIELD Act and other applicable laws, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information Summit holds about you. To exercise these rights, contact us using the form on our contact page or in writing to the address at the bottom of this policy. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable time.

8. California and EU Visitors

While Summit serves New York residents and operates entirely within New York State, if you visit from California (subject to CCPA/CPRA) or the European Union or United Kingdom (subject to GDPR/UK GDPR), you may have additional rights under those laws, including the right to know, the right to delete, and — where applicable — the right to opt out of certain data uses. Please contact us to exercise any such rights.

9. Children

This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. Security

Summit uses commercially reasonable safeguards to protect personal information, including HTTPS encryption for all Site traffic and access controls on all data storage systems. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password if you create any online accounts.

11. Changes to This Policy

Summit may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Summit Real Estate, Inc. is a licensed New York real estate brokerage. Nothing in this policy constitutes legal advice. For specific questions about your situation, consult a qualified attorney.
