Privacy Policy

Short version: I collect the least I can, I use it to answer you, and I do not sell it or hand your phone number to anybody. The long version is below because it has to be.

Who this covers

This policy applies to thatbrentmiller.com and to the text message program described below, both operated by Brent J. Miller, doing business as BM and L Properties, 3293 Park St., Grove City, OH 43123. Brent J. Miller is a licensed real estate agent in the State of Ohio (license #2010002123) affiliated with Realty Forward. Where this policy says “I” or “me,” it means Brent J. Miller, doing business as BM and L Properties.

What I collect

  • Information you give me. Your name, phone number, email address and whatever you type into a message or sign-up form on this site.
  • Basic usage information. Standard web server and analytics data such as pages viewed, approximate region, and the referring link. This is not tied to your name, and the page engagement counts run only if you choose Accept on the site banner.

I do not ask for and do not want your Social Security number, financial account numbers or any other sensitive personal information through this website. If a transaction requires that later, it happens through the brokerage and lender, not here.

What I use it for

  • Answering the question you actually asked
  • Sending the monthly Grove City Note, if you asked for it
  • Sending you text messages, if you separately opted in to that
  • Real estate services you have asked me to perform

Text messages, and what happens to your phone number

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the categories described elsewhere in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. That information is never shared with any third party.

You are texted only if you check a box on the contact form, text me first, or ask me directly to follow up by text. Nothing is automatic, and no number is ever bought, rented or imported from a list. If you opt in to text messages:

  • There are two separate opt-ins, recorded separately: one for non-marketing messages about your real estate inquiry, and one for marketing messages about special offers, discounts, and service updates. Checking one does not check the other. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving text messages.
  • Message frequency may vary. Marketing messages are capped at 4 a month.
  • Message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier and plan.
  • Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages. Reply HELP for help.
  • Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase or of working with me. Leave the boxes unchecked, give me your email, and I answer there.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
  • I keep a record of your opt-in — the number, the date, and the exact wording you agreed to — because carrier rules require me to be able to show it. That record is used for nothing else.

Opting in to texts is separate from signing up for the monthly email. Doing one does not sign you up for the other. Full program terms are on the Text message terms page.

Who I share information with

I do not sell your personal information, and I do not trade or rent it. I share only what is necessary, and only with:

  • Service providers that run the plumbing, such as email delivery and website hosting, and only so they can perform that service.
  • My brokerage, Realty Forward, where required by Ohio real estate license law and brokerage policy.
  • Anyone you ask me to, such as a lender or title company you have chosen.
  • Legal authorities, where I am required by law to do so.

Again, and specifically: mobile phone numbers and SMS consent are excluded from all sharing.

How I protect it

Everything you send through this site travels over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. It is stored with the service providers described above, which restrict access to it, and the only people who can see it are me and the small team that runs this site for me. No system is perfectly secure, which is one more reason this site never asks you for anything sensitive.

Your choices

  • Email: every message has an unsubscribe link, and it works immediately.
  • Text: reply STOP.
  • Everything else: ask me to show you, correct or delete what I have and I will, subject to any records I am legally required to keep as a licensed agent.

To make any of these requests, call or text (614) 296-2439, email bmillerrealestate@gmail.com, or write to BM and L Properties, 3293 Park St., Grove City, OH 43123.

Cookies

This site uses only what is needed to load the page and to understand basic traffic patterns. There is no advertising pixel retargeting you around the internet after you leave.

The homepage shows an embedded Google Map so you can see where I am. That map is served by Google, which may set its own cookies when it loads, under Google's Privacy Policy.

Children

This site is not directed to anyone under 18 and I do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.

This policy is provided for transparency and is not legal advice. Real estate is regulated at the state and brokerage level, and specific disclosure obligations may apply to any given transaction.
