Privacy

Your information, handled simply.

The short version: I only collect what I need to help you, and I don't sell it. The one ad tracker on this site just tells me whether my own ads are working, and you can switch it off below.

Buy and Sell with Brenda

Last updated September 3, 2026

Who this covers

This is the website of Brenda Geraci, a REALTOR® with Keller Williams College Park in Upland, California. This page explains what happens to your information when you use the site or send me a message.

What I collect

When you fill out the contact form, I collect the details you choose to share: your name, email, phone number, whether you're buying or selling, and whatever you write in your message. If you never fill out the form, I'm not collecting personal details about you.

Like most websites, my host keeps basic, standard server logs (things like IP address and browser type) to keep the site secure and running. I don't tie those to you personally.

How I use it

I use what you send me for one thing: to get back to you and help with your home search or sale. I may add your contact details to my own client records and my real estate CRM so I can follow up and stay organized. I don't sell your information, and I don't share it for anyone else's advertising. The one advertising-related thing on the site is a measurement pixel for my own ads, explained under Cookies below.

Cookies and the tools on this site

The site remembers small things on your own device, like the fact that you've already seen the intro animation, so it doesn't repeat itself. That stays in your browser and never reaches me.

The home search runs on my own site rather than on somebody else's — there's no third-party search widget, and no search vendor gets your browsing. It does set three small cookies and all three are functional: one anonymous id, because the MLS requires a daily limit on how many listings one person can view, and two more only if you choose to sign in. The detail is in the home-search section further down this page.

The listing data itself comes from the MLS (CRMLS) and is provided for your personal, non-commercial use in finding a home.

The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to block spam bots, and the site is served through Cloudflare. Those set basic security cookies.

I keep a simple, anonymous count of visits — page views, roughly where visitors are (city/region), and which site sent them my way — handled by Lima Bean Photography, who built and hosts the site, so I can see how it's doing. It uses no cookies, doesn't identify you, and isn't shared or used for ads.

I run ads on ChatGPT, and to see whether they're working I use OpenAI's ad-measurement pixel. It sets a small cookie in your browser so that if you arrived from one of my ads, OpenAI can tell that this visit — and a message or call that follows — came from that ad. It reports page views, contact-form submissions, and taps on the Call and Text buttons. If you send the form, it may pass OpenAI a scrambled (hashed) version of the details you entered so the match can be made; OpenAI doesn't receive them in readable form. That's the only advertising tracker here — no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel — and you can switch it off with one click under "Do Not Sell or Share" below. It stays off in that browser.

There's still no cookie pop-up to click through. The disclosure is this page, and the off switch is right below.

Who I share it with

Your information goes to me and to the service providers that help me run things: my email, my CRM, and Lima Bean Photography, who built and runs the home search on this site. If you ask about a home or save a search there, it comes straight to me. They only handle it to provide their service. I don't sell personal information, and I never have.

If you arrived from one of my ChatGPT ads, OpenAI receives the ad-measurement signals described above (page views, a form submission, a Call or Text tap, and hashed form details). Under California's privacy law that can count as "sharing" for advertising, which is why there's an opt-out below.

Your choices

You're always free to skip the form and just call or text me. Every home on the search is public — an account saves things, it never unlocks them — so you can look at all of it without signing up for anything. If you'd like me to delete the information you've sent, email me and I'll take care of it. You can also clear or block cookies anytime in your browser settings; the site still works, though the search may remember less.

You can also turn off the ad-measurement pixel using the button below — no account, no email, one click.

Links to other sites

This site links out to places like Zillow, Realtor.com, and my brokerage. Once you're there, their privacy policies apply, not this one.

Children

This site is meant for adults buying and selling homes. It isn't directed to children, and I don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes to this page

If I update how any of this works, I'll update this page and change the date at the top.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

California law gives you the right to opt out of your information being "shared" for advertising. On this site, the only thing that counts is the ad-measurement pixel described above. Press the button and it turns off in this browser and stays off. Nothing else about the site changes.

The home search

This part covers the MLS search pages specifically — the cookies they set, the optional account, the alert emails, and what the MLS itself requires me to say. It is written by the people who built the search, which is why it reads a little differently from the rest of this page.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 3, 2026

This policy explains what Brenda Geraci · Keller Williams College Park collects on https://buyandsellwithbrenda.com, why, and what you can ask us to do about it.

What we collect

You can browse and search every listing on this site without giving us anything. Nothing on this site is hidden behind a sign-up.

If you choose to create an account, we collect:

Your email address. It is how we send you a sign-in link and any alerts you ask for. We do not store a password, because we do not use one.
The searches and homes you save. So we can show them back to you and tell you when something new matches.
Basic technical information — an anonymous site identifier stored in a cookie, your IP address and your browser's user agent. These are used to keep the site working, to protect it from abuse, and to enforce a daily limit on listing views that the MLS requires of every site like this one.

Asking about a home

If you send an inquiry from a listing page, we collect:

Your name and email address. Brenda Geraci · Keller Williams College Park replies by email — that is the only channel we use.
Your message, and the tour day you picked, if you picked one.
Which listing you were looking at, so the reply is about the right home.

That inquiry is emailed to Brenda Geraci · Keller Williams College Park and stored so it is not lost if an email fails to arrive. It is used to answer you and for nothing else — it does not go onto a marketing list, and we do not send you anything you did not ask for.

We do not ask for your phone number and we do not send text messages.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies and they are all essential to features you asked for: one keeps you signed in, one holds an anonymous identifier used for the MLS view limit and for abuse prevention, and one remembers that you dismissed a prompt so we do not show it again. We set no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking cookies and no analytics cookies that follow you to other websites.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. We honour it. In practice this changes nothing about how this site behaves, because we do not track visitors across other websites or over time for advertising, whether or not that signal is present.

Third parties

No third party collects personally identifiable information about your activity on this site over time or across other sites. The multiple listing service that supplies our listing data may require us to include their own measurement code on listing pages in future; if and when that happens, it will be used to measure how their listing data is displayed and will be subject to their privacy practices rather than ours, and this policy will be updated before it goes live.

We use a transactional email provider to deliver sign-in links and listing alerts. It processes your email address only to deliver those messages.

We do not sell your information

We do not sell or share your personal information, for money or for anything else. We do not trade it, rent it, or hand it to data brokers or advertisers.

Who your information goes to

Brenda Geraci · Keller Williams College Park is the owner of any enquiry or account you create here. Lima Bean Photography builds and operates this website on Brenda Geraci · Keller Williams College Park’s behalf and processes that information only to run the site — it is never used for Lima Bean Photography’s own marketing, and it is never combined with data from any other source. When Brenda Geraci · Keller Williams College Park stops using this website, the account and enquiry data held for it is deleted.

Listing data

Listing information on this site comes from the multiple listing service and belongs to the brokerages and agents who submitted it. It is displayed under the MLS's rules, and we do not use it for anything other than displaying it here.

Based on information from California Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. as of [date the AOR/MLS data was obtained] and /or other sources. All data, including all measurements and calculations of area, is obtained from various sources and has not been, and will not be, verified by broker or MLS. All information should be independently reviewed and verified for accuracy. Properties may or may not be listed by the office/agent presenting the information. Any amount of compensation or commission stated is made only to participants of CRMLS or an MLS that has entered into a datashare agreement with CRMLS.

Your choices

Stop the emails. Every alert email has an unsubscribe link, and it works without signing in.
Delete your account. Sign in and choose “Delete my account”. That removes your email address, your saved searches and your saved homes.
Ask us anything else. Write to buyandsellwithbrenda@gmail.com and we will answer.
