Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ashworth Real Estate Partners LLC (“AREP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit joinashworthpartners.com or contact us through this site. AREP is a Minnesota licensed-for-referral-only (LFRO) real estate brokerage.

By using this site or submitting a form, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or submit information through it.

Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to you and to operate this site:

• Information you give us. When you submit the “Request more info” form or the membership application, we collect details such as your name, email address, mobile phone number, mailing address, real estate license information, and any message, comments, or other details you choose to provide.
• Information collected automatically. To keep the site secure and to prevent spam and abuse, we record limited technical data with each submission, such as your IP address, browser/user-agent string, and timestamps.

We do not knowingly collect information from children, and this site is intended for licensed real estate professionals and adults inquiring about our services.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and requests for information;
• Process and follow up on membership applications;
• Create and secure accounts and verify sign-ins (including sending one-time verification codes);
• Communicate with you about your request, application, or membership; and
• Protect the site against spam, fraud, and abuse, and to meet legal obligations.

SMS / Text Messaging & Consent

Ashworth Real Estate Partners LLC (“AREP”) may send SMS text messages to the mobile number you provide, and only after you opt in. These are transactional messages tied to an action you take with us — for example, a one-time passcode to verify a login or to confirm an action you have requested. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any service, opt-in is always initiated by you, and we do not send marketing or promotional text messages.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share or sell your mobile phone number, SMS opt-in, or messaging consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

We share information only in these limited situations:

• Service providers. We use trusted vendors to operate the site — for example, our hosting provider, our email provider for sending notifications, our text-messaging provider for delivering verification codes, and a bot-protection service on our forms. These providers may process your information only to provide their service to us, and they are not permitted to use it for their own marketing.
• Within Ashworth. We may share your information with our affiliated brokerage, Ashworth Real Estate (ARE), and our staff and authorized agents as needed to respond to your request and provide our services to you.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AREP, our users, or others.

Data retention & security

We keep submissions for as long as needed to respond to you, administer membership, and meet our legal and recordkeeping obligations, then delete or de-identify them. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your choices

• You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP.
• You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you submitted by emailing agentservices@ashworthre.com.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
