Your privacy matters

This Privacy Policy explains how Next Step Real Estate School ("Next Step," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, contact us, request course information, communicate with us by email, or submit information through a lead form on a social-media platform.

By using our website or submitting information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not submit personal information through our website or lead forms.

Quick summary: We use the information you provide to respond to you, deliver requested resources, and communicate about our educational offerings. We do not sell personal information for money.

1. Information we collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information, depending on how you interact with us:

Information you provide directly. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, state or location, preferred course or program, scheduling preferences, message content, and any other information you choose to provide through a contact form, course-inquiry form, email, telephone call, or other communication.

Social-platform lead information. If you submit a lead form through LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or another platform, we may receive the contact and profile information you authorized that platform to provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, job title, location, form responses, and campaign or referral details.

Website and device information. When you visit our website, we or our service providers may automatically receive limited technical information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from an Internet Protocol address, and the date and time of access.

Cookie and similar-technology information. We may collect information through cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies, as described in Section 4.

Please do not send sensitive personal information that we have not requested. We do not knowingly request Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, government identification numbers, or medical information through general contact or course-inquiry forms.

2. How we use information

We may use personal information to:

  • Respond to requests. Answer questions, follow up on course inquiries, schedule conversations, and provide requested guides or other materials.
  • Provide educational services. Administer communications relating to programs, classes, events, or services you request.
  • Communicate with you. Send service-related messages and, with your consent or as otherwise permitted by law, information about courses, events, resources, or promotions that may interest you.
  • Operate and improve our business. Maintain the website, understand general usage, evaluate outreach efforts, improve content and services, and support internal administration.
  • Protect people and systems. Detect, investigate, and help prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, or other harmful activity.
  • Meet legal obligations. Comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, establish or defend legal claims, and enforce our terms or agreements.

We may combine information received from different sources when doing so is consistent with this policy and applicable law.

3. Email and marketing choices

If you ask for information, download a resource, or submit a lead form, we may contact you about that request. We may also send marketing messages when you consent or when applicable law otherwise permits.

You can unsubscribe from marketing email by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us at info@nextsteprealestateschool.com. Even after you opt out of marketing, we may send non-promotional messages needed to respond to an active request, deliver a service, or address a legal or security matter.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Essential functions. Enable core website features, remember choices, and help maintain security.
  • Performance and analytics. Understand how visitors use the site and improve its performance and content.
  • Advertising and measurement. Measure campaign effectiveness or help present relevant information, where these technologies are used and permitted.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the consent controls displayed on our website. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality. Because there is not yet a universally accepted standard for browser-based "Do Not Track" signals, our website may not respond to them. Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

5. How we disclose information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers. We may provide information to vendors that perform services for us, such as website hosting, form processing, customer relationship management, email delivery, analytics, security, document storage, or business administration. They may use the information only to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by contract and law.
  • Social platforms. When you interact with a lead form or advertisement on a social platform, that platform processes information under its own privacy policy. We receive only the information the platform makes available based on your submission and settings.
  • At your direction. We may disclose information when you ask us to do so or consent to the disclosure.
  • Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid government request, or is appropriate to protect rights, safety, property, or the integrity of our services.
  • Business changes. Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some U.S. state laws define a "sale" or "sharing" broadly enough to include certain advertising or analytics disclosures. If our practices are subject to those definitions, we will provide any notice and opt-out method required by applicable law.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, providing requested services, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, tax, accounting, or security obligations.

Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, the sensitivity of the information, and applicable legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we may delete it, de-identify it, or securely dispose of it, subject to backup and record-retention practices.

7. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use care when sending information online and avoid including sensitive information in ordinary email or general inquiry forms.

8. Your choices and privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you; ask us to correct or delete it; receive a portable copy; limit or object to certain processing; withdraw consent; opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing; and appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.

To submit a request, email info@nextsteprealestateschool.com with the subject line "Privacy Request" and describe the right you wish to exercise. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your information. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

These rights are not absolute. We may deny or limit a request where the law allows, such as when we must retain information to complete a transaction, protect security, comply with a legal obligation, or establish or defend legal claims. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

9. Children's privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information without legally valid consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us at info@nextsteprealestateschool.com.

10. Third-party websites and services

Our website, emails, or social-media pages may link to websites or services operated by others. We do not control their privacy, security, or content practices. This policy does not apply to information those third parties collect directly. Review the privacy policy of each third-party service before providing information.

11. United States processing

Next Step Real Estate School is based in Florida, United States. If you access our website or submit information from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on our website and update the effective date above. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice when required by law.
