Privacy policy

We buy vacant land directly from owners in the State of Georgia. In this policy, "we," "us," and "our" mean Collective Land. This policy explains what information we collect through https://collectiveland.co, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to this website and to the phone, text, and email conversations that follow from it.

By using this site or submitting our form, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

When you submit our form, you choose what to tell us. That normally includes your first and last name, your phone number, your email address if you provide one, and details about the property: the state, the county, the acreage, and any notes you add. If we go further together, we may also collect the parcel number, the property address, title and ownership documents, tax records, and the information a closing attorney needs to complete a purchase.

Please do not send us Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or other sensitive identifiers through the website form. If that information is ever required for a closing, the closing attorney will collect it directly through their own secure process.

Like most websites, ours records basic technical information when you visit: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages you viewed, and the site or search that referred you. Our hosting provider generates this in its server logs. We use it to keep the site working, diagnose errors, and understand roughly how many people visit.

We use what we collect to:

• evaluate the property you told us about and prepare an offer
• contact you about that property and answer your questions
• carry out title work, due diligence, and closing if you accept
• keep records of our transactions as the law requires
• operate, secure, and improve the website

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell it.

By submitting the form, you consent to receive calls, text messages, and emails from Collective Land about the property you asked us to look at. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of receiving an offer, and you can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.

Mobile opt-in data and consent are never shared with or sold to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We share information only where it is needed to do the work or to comply with the law. That means:

• closing attorneys, title companies, and surveyors involved in a transaction you have asked us to pursue
• service providers that run the site and deliver our email, who may process information only on our instructions
• government offices and public records where a deed or transfer must be recorded
• a buyer or successor if our business is ever sold or reorganized
• anyone we are legally required to disclose to

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

This site uses only the cookies and local storage needed to serve pages and remember basic display preferences. We do not run third-party advertising trackers on it. Your browser lets you block or delete cookies, though parts of the site may not behave correctly if you do.

We keep inquiry information for as long as we need it to evaluate the property and to document what we did, and longer where a completed transaction must be retained for tax, accounting, or legal reasons. If a property never moves forward, we keep the inquiry only as long as it is useful and then delete it.

The site is served over an encrypted connection, and access to submissions is limited to the people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you send us.

You can ask us to correct or delete your information, ask what we hold about you, or tell us to stop contacting you, at any time by replying to any message we send you. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy law, including the right to know what we collect and the right to request deletion. We will not treat you differently for exercising any of them.

This site is meant for adults who own or control real property. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Our pages may link to sites we do not operate, such as the Georgia Secretary of State, the State Bar of Georgia, or a county records office. We provide those links so you can verify what we tell you. Their privacy practices are their own and this policy does not cover them.

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with the date it took effect, and material changes take effect when posted. Continuing to use the site after that means you accept the updated policy.

Questions about this policy, or about the information we hold, can be raised by replying to any message we send you. We answer privacy requests as promptly as we reasonably can.
