Last updated: September 16, 2026

WRE News, also known as Weekly Real Estate News (“WRE News,” “Weekly Real Estate News,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects your privacy.

“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked to an individual or household, as defined by applicable law.

This policy explains our practices. Visiting our website or reading this policy does not, by itself, constitute consent to processing that requires your consent.

Our emails may contain tracking technologies that record whether an email was opened or a link was selected. These measurements may be affected by your email provider’s privacy features.

Webinar recordings

We record our webinars. Depending on how you participate and the features used, recordings may include your name, image, voice, questions, chat contributions, or other information you share during the event.

Comments and social media interactions

We collect information you provide when you comment on articles or otherwise interact with our website, including your comment, name or username, and other information you submit.

When you interact with our social media accounts, we may receive comments, messages, public profile information, and interaction information the platform makes available. The information available to us depends on your activity, privacy settings, and the platform’s practices.

Information displayed in public comments may be visible to other people, copied, indexed by search engines, or redistributed.

Information from other sources

We may receive personal information from:

• Referral partners and webinar sponsors: Contact information, professional details, registration information, and information about interests or requests.
• Public professional sources: Publicly available names, job titles, company affiliations, and professional contact information.
• People submitting nominations: Information about nominees, including contact details, professional backgrounds, and supporting materials.
• Social media platforms: Information made available through interactions with our accounts.

We use this information to respond to inquiries, administer programs, evaluate nominations, follow up on referrals or requests, and support relevant communications, subject to applicable law and your choices.

When we combine information from different sources, we treat the combined information as personal information where required by law.

Sensitive information

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through public comments or general contact forms unless we specifically request it through an appropriate process.

Some information provided in connection with accounts, payments, or submissions may qualify as sensitive personal information under applicable law.

3. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information, as relevant to your interaction, to:

• Operate and maintain our website and services.
• Create and administer accounts and subscriptions.
• Deliver requested news, content, products, and services.
• Process payments, fulfill purchases, and manage refunds or disputes.
• Register participants and administer webinars, nominations, surveys, and promotions.
• Respond to comments, inquiries, support requests, and other communications.
• Send newsletters, offers, and other communications consistent with applicable law and your preferences.
• Facilitate requests involving sponsors or business partners.

• Record and honor privacy choices and requests.

We provide additional notice and obtain consent before undertaking new processing when required by applicable law.

4. Purchases and Payment Processing

Our website uses WooCommerce to administer purchases and offers payment processing through Stripe and WooPayments.

When you make a purchase, we collect and process payment details through the applicable payment service. We exchange relevant order, billing, transaction, and payment-status information with these services to complete payments, fulfill orders, provide support, manage refunds and disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain necessary records.

The payment service’s privacy notice also explains its processing practices. Additional information is available in the Stripe Privacy Policy and Automattic Privacy Policy, which addresses relevant WooCommerce services.

5. Email Communications

We use ActiveCampaign to manage email subscriptions and send newsletters and other communications. Information processed for these purposes may include your contact information, subscription preferences, and interactions with our messages.

For information about ActiveCampaign’s practices, see its Privacy Policy.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting [email protected]. We honor requests within the time required by law.

We may retain limited information necessary to honor your unsubscribe request. You may continue to receive necessary administrative communications, such as purchase confirmations, service notices, or responses to your inquiries.

Providing a telephone number or submitting a form does not, by itself, constitute consent to marketing calls or text messages where separate consent is required.

6. How We Disclose Personal Information

Service providers

We disclose relevant personal information to providers that help us operate our services, including providers of hosting, forms, communications delivery, payment processing, analytics, security, spam prevention, site maintenance, and event services.

Providers receive information relevant to their functions, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

Business partners and sponsors

We may disclose contact information and relevant request or registration details to business partners and sponsors in connection with a form submission, referral, event, or other interaction involving them. These partners may contact you about relevant products, services, or promotions.

Where required, the collection notice identifies the intended recipients and purposes, and we obtain consent before disclosure or marketing contact.

Partners that process information for their own purposes are responsible for their own practices. Their privacy notices apply to that processing.

Advertising and analytics recipients

Our website includes advertising and analytics functionality. The information third parties receive depends on the services and settings used.

Affiliates

We may disclose relevant information to affiliated businesses for the purposes described in this policy, where applicable to our operations and permitted by law.

Public content

Information you intentionally submit for public display, such as comments, may be available to other users and the public.

Legal, safety, and business circumstances

We may disclose relevant information to advisers, authorities, and other appropriate recipients when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process, investigate wrongdoing, protect rights or safety, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We may also disclose information in connection with a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, asset transfer, or similar transaction, subject to applicable safeguards and legal requirements.

At your direction

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide valid consent.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies. Cookies may remain for a browsing session or persist until they expire or are deleted.

The categories of technologies used include:

• Essential technologies: Support security, navigation, transactions, and requested functionality.
• Preference technologies: Remember settings and choices, including privacy preferences.
• Analytics technologies: Measure traffic and help us understand interactions with our content.
• Advertising technologies: Support advertising delivery, measurement, or personalization.

You can manage cookies through your browser. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality, and browser controls may not disable every tracking technology.

[Insert the functioning cookie-preference link and describe the actual consent and withdrawal controls. Confirm that technologies requiring consent are blocked until consent is obtained.]

Do Not Track: [Insert the website’s actual response to browser Do Not Track signals.] Do Not Track is separate from legally recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

8. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Privacy laws may define “sale” to include disclosures for money or other valuable consideration. California also regulates “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, even without payment.

Where applicable, you may request an opt-out by contacting [email protected].

You do not need to create an account to exercise applicable opt-out rights. Sale or sharing opt-outs do not require identity verification, although we may need information to apply the request.

An advertising opt-out does not necessarily stop all advertisements.

9. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its stated purposes, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We determine retention by considering the nature and sensitivity of the information, the purpose of processing, the duration of our relationship, recordkeeping obligations, security needs, and applicable dispute or limitation periods.

In particular:

• Account and subscription information is retained while needed to administer the account, subscription, and related requests.
• Purchase and payment records are retained as necessary for fulfillment, accounting, tax, refunds, disputes, and legal obligations.
• Comments, inquiries, and submissions are retained while needed for publication, administration, correspondence, or necessary related records.
• Webinar registration information and recordings are retained for the disclosed event and recording purposes.
• Technical information, approximate location, advertising identifiers, search terms, and inferred interestsare retained for periods proportionate to their identified operational, analytics, advertising, or security purposes.
• Privacy preferences and request records are retained as necessary to honor choices and document compliance.

We may retain limited suppression information to avoid contacting someone who has opted out. We may retain records subject to legal preservation obligations until those obligations end.

When information is no longer needed, we delete or appropriately deidentify it, subject to lawful backup and preservation practices.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, the law applicable to WRE News, and available exemptions, you may have rights to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information and obtain access to it.
• Obtain a portable copy of information.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion.
• Obtain information about sources, purposes, and recipients, including specific third parties where required.
• Opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling.
• Restrict, limit, or object to certain processing, including specified uses of sensitive information.
• Withdraw consent.
• Appeal a denied request or complain to a regulator.

Submitting a request

Contact [email protected], call (801) 822-7948, or write to the address in Section 1. Describe your request and provide enough information to help us locate relevant records. Do not send passwords or unnecessary sensitive documents.

For requests requiring verification, we use reasonable measures proportionate to the information and risk involved. We may ask you to confirm information already associated with your interactions with us.

An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may request proof of authority and, where permitted, verify your identity directly.

We respond within applicable legal deadlines and provide notice of permitted extensions. Requests are generally free. We charge fees or decline requests only where permitted by law. If we cannot fulfill a request, we explain why unless prohibited from doing so.

Appeals and complaints

Where an appeal right applies, email [email protected] with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line and identify the decision you want reviewed.

We review appeals within the applicable deadline and provide information about further complaint options. You may also contact the appropriate attorney general or data protection authority.

We do not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising privacy rights.

11. Additional California Disclosures

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, California residents may exercise applicable rights described above, including access, correction, deletion, sale/sharing opt-out, and limitation of certain sensitive-information uses.

The information described in this policy includes identifiers, contact information, commercial information, internet or other electronic network activity, approximate geolocation, professional information, audio or visual information from webinar participation, and inferences.

California residents may also contact us regarding applicable disclosures for third parties’ direct marketing under California’s Shine the Light law.

12. International Processing

We operate in the United States. Personal information may be processed in other countries where our providers operate, and those countries may have different data protection laws.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, processing must rely on an appropriate basis, such as performing a requested contract, complying with legal obligations, pursuing legitimate interests balanced against individual rights, or obtaining consent.

Where applicable, you may exercise access, correction, erasure, portability, restriction, objection, and consent-withdrawal rights by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully performed before withdrawal. You may also complain to the competent data protection authority.

13. Children and Teenagers

Our services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact [email protected]. If we discover information collected in violation of applicable children’s privacy requirements, we take appropriate steps to delete it.

Additional protections may apply to teenagers, including restrictions on sale, sharing, targeted advertising, and sensitive information.

14. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, taking account of its nature and the risks involved.

No website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. Third-Party Services and Editorial Content

Our website may link to or include third-party websites, stores, educational services, advertisements, videos, social media features, or other services.

Their operators may collect information under their own privacy notices. This policy describes WRE News’s practices and does not replace those notices. Our own collection and disclosures involving these services remain subject to this policy and applicable law.

Personal information appearing in journalistic content may be subject to different legal rules and exemptions. Contact us with concerns about published content so we can evaluate the request under applicable law.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy and update the “Last updated” date.

For material changes, we provide additional notice where required. We obtain consent before applying changes when required by applicable law. Updating this policy does not override previously recorded choices or authorize processing that requires separate consent.
