Website inquiry forms save your contact details, preferred response method, message and selected property reference in our private team workspace. A showing or service request does not book an appointment or charge for services. Direct call and text links open your own application; you choose whether to send.

Property searches retrieve authorized IDX information from Walker County Area MLS. Listing photographs come from the permitted MLS photo service. Homes and showing-list buttons ask you to sign in and finish your buyer profile. Existing browser favorites and draft showing lists are kept for migration to your account; saved searches can also be kept on this browser. After you sign in and create a buyer profile, saved homes, named searches and showing lists are stored in your account for use across devices. We try to add existing browser drafts to your account; drafts that cannot be saved are kept on that browser. Saved searches keep your filters. Email updates stay off unless you explicitly choose Daily and save that preference for an account search. When email delivery is enabled, these updates use your verified account email and check for new matching properties and price changes at most once every 24 hours. The first check sets a starting point without emailing existing results. You can turn updates off for a search in My Lake or use the confirmation link in an update email. Delivery can be paused or unavailable; the account screen shows its current status. This choice does not subscribe you to marketing or text listing alerts.

Buyer accounts store your sign-in identity, name, contact phone number, saved property references, named search criteria, showing list and tour requests. Your account email comes from the sign-in service. The account-activity notice explains that creating a profile or continuing after the notice starts automatic signed-in page and property/search activity, including normalized public-page and buyer-portal paths, listing references, repeat view counts and first/last viewed times. Page activity excludes query strings, form text and referrers; it does not prove every navigation or attention. Recently viewed uses this activity. The team uses it to help with your search and understand the website audience. Existing accounts are asked to review the updated notice before the new automatic activity policy is applied; an earlier choice to keep optional viewing activity off is not silently changed. Clear recorded account activity in Profile & settings. Clearing account activity removes recorded page visits, property views, approximate visit areas and search activity. It keeps saved homes, named searches, showing lists and submitted requests. Future signed-in activity can be recorded under the acknowledged account notice.

When mobile verification is enabled, new buyer and Pro account setup asks for a cell number and a texted verification code. Clerk sends and checks the code; the verified number and the time its verified status was observed are saved to your private account. Our team can use a buyer’s saved number to respond about their search. A Pro account-holder’s private cell is separate from the public phone number on their business profile. Requesting a verification code does not subscribe you to marketing texts. Message and data rates may apply.

To manage follow-up, our team can keep internal contact details, lead stages, assignments, tags, service notes, tasks and manually entered communication summaries in the private team workspace. A logged call, email or text records what a team member entered; this logging feature does not record calls or send communications. Requests about these records can be sent to admin@kwalabama.com.

For accounts using the current activity notice, the site can record an approximate city, state and country for a signed-in visit when available. The hosting service may provide this broad connection area. When the MapTiler location service is enabled, your browser also connects to MapTiler, which receives your connection IP address to estimate the area. MapTiler location lookups run only when the service is configured and after you continue under the current account notice; existing accounts using an earlier notice are shown the update before continuing. Our buyer location record keeps only the coarse city, state and country. It does not store the raw IP address or request GPS location. See MapTiler privacy policy. The estimate can be inaccurate or unavailable, including with a VPN or mobile network. It is not a home address, a real-time location or verified evidence of where a buyer is from. If you add an optional home city and state in your profile, those are the location details you provide, separate from the connection estimate. The team uses these broad location details for service and audience insights. Saving a profile, acknowledging the account notice or making an inquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.

Interactive maps may request imagery or map resources from MapTiler, Mapbox, ReportAll, OpenStreetMap and unpkg.com, depending on the map you open. Fonts are requested from Google Fonts. External websites have their own terms. These buyer features do not use advertising trackers. Hosting and sign-in services process technical information needed to provide access. For privacy questions, your saved information, or correction and removal requests, email admin@kwalabama.com. Do not include sensitive financial or identity documents in a website message.
