How information is collected, used, disclosed, and controlled across Michael Pine real estate websites.
Effective July 16, 2026
This notice applies to michaelpine.com and michaelpine.exprealty.com. It explains the information these sites collect, why it is used, the service providers and advertising partners that may receive it, and the choices available to you.
Who operates these sites
Michael Pine is an independent real estate professional affiliated with eXp Realty, LLC. Michael operates michaelpine.com. The property-search website at michaelpine.exprealty.com is provided through eXp Realty and Inside Real Estate's BoldTrail platform. Those companies may also process information under their own privacy notices.

- Contact information you provide, including your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.
- Real estate interests and activity, including properties viewed, searches, saved listings, showing requests, valuation requests, and other preferences.
- Account and communication information when you register, request service, schedule an appointment, or communicate by email, phone, text, or chat.
- Device and usage information, including IP address, approximate location, browser and device type, referral source, pages viewed, clicks, and timestamps.
- Cookie, advertising, and similar identifiers used for site operation, analytics, attribution, and advertising.
Information is collected directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, and from service providers or referral sources involved in your request.
How information is used

- Measure advertising, improve site performance, and evaluate marketing effectiveness.

Marketing calls, texts, or emails are governed by the consent language presented with the applicable form. Consent to marketing is not a condition of purchasing real estate services.
Who may receive information
Information may be disclosed as reasonably necessary to Michael Pine, eXp Realty, Inside Real Estate/BoldTrail, MLS and IDX providers, website hosting and security providers, communications and scheduling providers, professional advisers, and government or regulatory authorities. The sites currently use or may interact with Cloudflare, Google, Meta, Calendly, and BoldTrail services.
Google and Meta technologies on michaelpine.exprealty.com may receive device and website activity information for analytics, attribution, and advertising. This type of disclosure may be considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws even when no money is exchanged.
Cookies and similar technologies
michaelpine.com uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for cookie-free traffic and performance measurement. michaelpine.exprealty.com uses BoldTrail platform technologies and Google and Meta tags for site operation, analytics, lead attribution, and advertising.
Use the privacy control on michaelpine.exprealty.com to accept or reject non-essential tracking. BoldTrail loads its platform tags before the user-editable privacy control, so an initial page-view signal may be sent before the control can apply. A rejection applies to subsequent analytics and advertising activity that this website can control, prevents the custom Meta pixel from loading, and removes common first-party analytics and advertising cookies when possible. Browser settings and content blockers may provide additional controls.
Open Privacy ChoicesCalifornia privacy rights
California residents may have the right, subject to applicable law, to request access to or correction or deletion of personal information, obtain information about collection and disclosure practices, and opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. You will not be discriminated against for exercising an applicable privacy right.
The michaelpine.exprealty.com privacy control treats a recognized Global Privacy Control signal as a request to reject non-essential analytics and advertising tracking. You may also use the privacy control directly or contact us using the information below.
Other privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information, or to withdraw consent. These rights are subject to applicable law and identity verification. These websites primarily offer real estate services in California and are not directed to children under 13.
Retention and security
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, provide services, maintain business and transaction records, satisfy legal and brokerage obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the sites. When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted or deidentified. Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Requests and contact
To ask a privacy question or submit a request, contact Michael Pine at [email protected] or (858) 264-8774. California brokerage privacy requests may also be sent to [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
