Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Daryl Gayhardt and Gayhardt Real Estate ("we," "us," or "our") respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. This policy applies to this website and the real estate services we provide.
Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website — including when you submit a contact or consultation form, request a property showing or home valuation, or email us directly. This may include your name, email address, phone number, property address of interest, and any message details you choose to share.
We also automatically collect limited technical information through standard server logs and analytics tools, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URLs. This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its performance and content.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiries, schedule consultations, prepare property valuations, and deliver the real estate services you request. We may also use your contact details to send you relevant listings, market updates, or transaction-related communications when you have indicated interest.
Aggregate, non-identifying analytics data is used to analyze site traffic patterns and improve the user experience. We never sell your personal information to third parties.
With Whom We Share Information
We share your information only as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. This may include sharing relevant details with cooperating real estate agents, title companies, lenders, home inspectors, or other transaction participants you authorize as part of a real estate transaction.
We may also engage trusted service providers — such as hosting, email delivery, and customer-relationship-management platforms — who process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect its confidentiality. We do not share your information for third-party marketing purposes.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure site traffic, and enhance functionality. Analytics tools help us understand which pages are most useful so we can improve the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may limit some site features.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide ongoing services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Client and lead records related to real estate transactions are retained in accordance with Maryland real estate licensing recordkeeping requirements.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details below. You may also opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email or by contacting us directly.
If you are a Maryland resident, you may have additional rights under applicable state privacy law. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites — such as MLS listings, lender calculators, or social media profiles — that we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults engaged in real estate transactions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
