SHARING YOUR DATA WITH OTHER PEOPLE
There may be situations where we must share your information even though we aim to limit whom we share it with. The following ways we share your information with third parties:
We at The Real Estate Creative Studio are a small team of talented individuals that really are more like a family! It is normal for us to require backup and use other trusted individuals and companies to assist us. Whenever someone works for us, they act on our behalf. If one of our agents needs access to your personal information for a particular task, they must also comply with our privacy rules and limit their use to what is necessary.
To make our job a little easier, we use third-party software and apps. It is possible for these apps to store, process, or share some personal information. Among some of the programs, we are currently using are Gmail, MailChimp, Google Analytics, Dropbox, Google Drive, Stripe, Tailwind, and Wix.
We reserve the right to transfer your information to a new owner if we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of major assets. Any substantial change in our ownership or transfer of your personal information will be notified to you in advance.
·Law Enforcement: On occasion, we may need to share your personal information with law enforcement. When it is necessary to protect our business or our clients, we will only share your information when we believe, in good faith, that doing so is necessary. Example: We must report information when we believe fraud or misappropriation has occurred, when we believe that our property or safety, or a client's property or safety, is at risk, or when a legal warrant or subpoena has been issued. Fraud cases may also require that we share your information with investigative authorities and banks.

It means that the email address you provided us for this purpose has been given your consent by either clicking an opt-in box or by letting us know otherwise.

We will always do our best to comply with your requests. However, sometimes there may be legal or contractual duties that stop us from being able to fulfill your wishes.

Regardless, we will always respond to your requests and let you know the situation.
STORAGE & PROCESSING OF YOUR INFORMATION
Since The Real Estate Creative Studio is headquartered in the United States, most of our data is stored and processed there, but at times, some of it is stored in foreign countries. To ensure that your information isn't lost, we also use some third-party cloud storage services and apps, which may store and transfer your information outside of the United States.
THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE & APPS LIABILITY
Our company makes every effort to use the best software and apps when it comes to using third-party software. We check out the company's security standards before storing, sharing, and processing your personal information with them.. This Policy includes links to third-party websites and apps that we currently use. We strongly recommend that you take the time to read their privacy policies, as we are not liable for any breach of privacy or data security caused by their negligence.
WHEN IT COMES TO DATA SAFETY
The systems and procedures we have in place safeguard your information physically, electronically, and managerially. Unfortunately, no online system can guarantee that your information is 100% secure. The use of antivirus software, restricting computer access, and changing your passwords from "123abc" can help make sure that your information is not compromised by viruses or system failures. In the unlikely event that your personal information is compromised due to a security breach on our end, we will be sure to notify you as soon as reasonably possible.
CHILDREN'S PROTECTION
Children under the age of 13 should not use our services. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from anyone under this age limit, we immediately delete it. The 0-12-year-old children out there, thinking about their real estate design future, do have our admiration. You must have the permission of your parent or guardian to access our online services if you are 13 or younger. It is also important to keep in mind that your country may have stricter age restrictions if you live outside the United States. Although you may be older than 13, there is a chance you won't be legally allowed to access our online services. Moreover, in order to purchase any of the template packages we offer, you must be over the age of 18.
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS POLICY
Our lives change as the times do. As the laws surrounding privacy evolve and our privacy practices change, we may modify this Policy.

Other minor changes we make to our privacy practices will be reflected in an updated policy, and it is your responsibility to check our policy periodically to ensure you have understood it. We will use your information in just the ways described in the updated policy if you continue to access or use our services after the policy is revised.
RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
Rock, Paper, Scissors are used to resolve disagreements over our privacy practices. Using our services constitutes an agreement that if rock,paper,scissors does not bring both parties together, then independent mediation and/or arbitration will be employed to settle the dispute before going to court.
