This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit txmorristeam.com (the “Site”), contact us, or work with us as a client, and how we use, share, and protect it.

This is gathered through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
Information from other sources. We may receive information about you from multiple listing services (MLS), our website and CRM providers, social media platforms (for example, when you respond to one of our Facebook or Instagram ads or posts), lenders, title companies, and other parties involved in your transaction.

How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to serve you and run our business:
- Our brokerage. Scott Real Estate, Inc., which supervises our licensed activities.
- Transaction parties. With your direction or as needed for your transaction: cooperating agents, lenders, title and escrow companies, inspectors, appraisers, insurers, and attorneys.

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
The Site uses cookies and similar tools to remember your preferences, keep you signed in to saved searches, understand how visitors use the Site, and measure our advertising. We may use tools such as Google Analytics and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which let those companies collect information about your activity on the Site and other websites to show you relevant ads.
You can control these tools by:
- Setting your browser to block or delete cookies (some Site features may not work without them)
- Opting out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Adjusting ad preferences in your Facebook, Instagram, and Google account settings
- Visiting optout.aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies
The Site does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.
Listing Data and Third-Party Sites
Property listings on the Site are provided through an Internet Data Exchange (IDX) program by participating multiple listing services. Listing information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and should be independently verified. The IDX provider may collect information about your searches under its own privacy policy.
The Site may link to other websites, such as lenders, social media pages, and listing portals. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We keep your information for as long as needed to serve you, maintain our relationship with you, and meet legal and licensing recordkeeping requirements. Transaction records are kept for the periods required by TREC and other applicable law.
