Cookies
A cookie in the Internet world is a piece of data stored on your hard drive that has some connection to a website you visited. It generally contains info about you that makes it easier to visit that site.
Cookies are pretty standard in the Internet industry, and a huge number of websites use them. Cookies also allow us to track visits to different areas of the site, which lets Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS know which areas of the website we should improve and expand.
If you don’t like being recognized, however, you can stop accepting cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser. That will keep your visit anonymous on SanibelRealtors.com and SanibelCaptivaRealtors.org along with other websites. It may limit some of the functionality when you visit SanibelRealtors.com and SanibelCaptivaRealtors.org, though. In addition, third-party vendors produce some website services offered by SanibelRealtors.com and SanibelCaptivaRealtors.org. In those cases, the independent vendors may also place cookies on your hard drive. Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS has no control over these cookies.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties, other than with our partners and designated Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS Rewards Partners. We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, but that info isn’t linked to personal information that can identify you. We could tell another company, for example, that 85 percent of SanibelRealtors.com and SanibelCaptivaRealtors.org visitors took our property insurance survey and here are the results, but we can’t say that you, in particular, clicked on the property insurance survey. Third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This website contains links to other sites, but Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. If another website asks for personal information, refer to that site’s own privacy policy. Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website.
Surveys
Sometimes our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary, and you may choose not to disclose this information simply by not taking the survey. A survey could ask for information such as a name and address, as well as demographic information, such as your zip code or age.
Choice/opt-out
Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS members have the opportunity to “opt-out” of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. If you no longer wish to receive a specific email product, such as newsletters or advertising materials, you may opt-out of individual communications by clicking the “Unsubscribe” button at the end of the email. If you need assistance, email us via the Contact Us page.
Site and service updates
Some types of email correspondence don’t have opt-out capabilities if you’re a Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS member, such as the occasional notice of a major breaking news event to Florida licensees, emails sent to committee members, and other website and service announcements.

Changes in this policy
In the future, Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of REALTORS may need to change this privacy policy to meet the needs of its members; and since we can’t predict the future, we must put this clause into the privacy policy: We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time.
