Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026

Please note: this policy is provided for transparency and is pending final review by legal counsel. If anything here conflicts with applicable law, the law governs. Questions? Email office@dreamsecondhome.com.

1. Who we are

Dream Second Home ("DSH", "we", "us", or "our") provides curated introductions to vetted international real estate developers, operating under the EXP Realty license umbrella. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. For any privacy question or request, contact us at office@dreamsecondhome.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact and introduction requests: your name, email address, and the message or details you choose to share (for example, the country, property, or investment goal you are interested in).
• Property inquiries: the property you ask about, together with the contact details you submit so we can respond.
• Newsletter sign-ups: your email address, so we can send market intelligence and new vetted listings.

Information collected automatically

• Analytics data: if you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, referring source, approximate location (derived from a truncated/anonymized IP address), and general device and browser information. This is collected only after you opt in (see Cookies, below).
• Essential technical data: a minimal set of information needed for the site to function and to remember your cookie choice.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We group cookies into two categories. Analytics cookies are off by default and load only with your consent (we use Google Consent Mode v2, which keeps analytics denied until you accept).

• Essential (always on): required for the site to work and to store your cookie preference. These do not track you across sites.
• Analytics (opt-in): set by Google Analytics only after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. You can decline, and you can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which makes the banner appear again.

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

4. How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide the introductions or information you request.
• To send the newsletter, where you have subscribed.
• To understand and improve how the site is used (with your consent).
• To maintain the security and integrity of the site and prevent abuse.
• To comply with our legal obligations.

5. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on:

• Consent — for analytics cookies and newsletter emails (you may withdraw it at any time).
• Legitimate interests — to respond to inquiries you send us and to keep the site secure.
• Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information by law.

6. Sharing and service providers

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with providers that help us operate:

• Resend — delivers our contact, inquiry, and newsletter emails.
• Google Analytics (Google LLC) — website analytics, only with your consent.
• Vercel — website hosting, media storage, and the serverless functions that process form submissions.
• EXP Realty — our licensing brokerage, where a transaction proceeds and disclosure is appropriate.

We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

7. International transfers

We and our providers may process information in the United States and elsewhere. Where personal data is transferred out of the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) where required.

8. Data retention

We keep inquiry and introduction details for as long as needed to assist you and to meet legal or record-keeping requirements, then delete or anonymize them. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information; to restrict or object to certain processing; and to withdraw consent. If you are a California resident, you may request to know or delete your information and are entitled to non-discrimination for exercising these rights (we do not sell personal information). To exercise any right, email office@dreamsecondhome.com and we will respond as required by law.

10. Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above.
