- Transaction Partners: With your explicit consent and direction, we will share necessary information with other parties in your real estate transaction, such as mortgage lenders, title companies, and home inspectors.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or court order, or to protect our legal rights.
- Business Transfers: If Singh Realty LLC is involved in a merger or sale, your information may be transferred as a business asset. We will notify you if this occurs.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our site uses cookies (small text files stored on your device) to function effectively. We use them to remember your preferences (like saved searches), analyze site traffic, and ensure security. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, but be aware that disabling them may affect the functionality of our website.
Data Security and Retention
We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures, including encryption and access controls, to protect your data. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to provide our services, maintain our relationship with you, and comply with legal obligations. Real estate transaction records are retained for at least 7 years as required by law.

Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to other sites (e.g., mortgage lenders, local government). We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to read their policies.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we learn we have, we will take steps to delete it immediately.
International Users & Do Not Track
Our services are based in the United States and intended for a U.S. audience. If you access our site from abroad, your data will be processed in the U.S. Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Currently, there is no industry standard for responding to DNT signals, so we do not alter our practices when we receive one.
