Privacy Policy

Last updated 5 August 2026

This page explains what happens to your information when you use this website. It is written plainly on purpose. If something here is unclear, call Michele at (704) 458-3331 and ask.

Who this covers

This policy covers the websites operated by Michele Cosmas, a licensed North Carolina real estate broker with eXp Realty, LLC:

• huntersvillerealty.com
• denverrealtync.com
• kannapolisrealty.com
• charlottencrealty.com

All four run the same website, so this one policy applies to all of them.

The sites are built and maintained by Landslide Studios, which operates the hosting and the website analytics described below on Michele's behalf.

What we collect

When you fill in a form

There are three places on this site where you can send us something: the pop-up "Book my call" form, the home valuation form on the home and sellers pages, and the form on the contact page. Depending on which one you use, they ask for:

• your name, email address and phone number
• whether you are buying or selling, and your timeline
• your budget or price range, and the area you are looking in
• for a valuation: the property address, bedrooms, bathrooms and approximate square footage
• anything you type into the message or description box

You choose what to put in. Nothing on this site is required reading or required typing — you can browse the whole site without giving us anything.

The spam check works by looking at three hidden fields that real people never see and never fill in, and by checking how quickly the form was submitted after it opened. If a submission looks automated it is discarded and never emailed to anyone.

When you just look around

Two things measure traffic on this site.

• Vercel Web Analytics counts page views. It runs from this site's own domain, sets no cookie, and does not give you an ID that follows you anywhere. It runs whether or not you accept cookies.
• Microsoft Clarity shows us how pages are actually used — where people scroll, what they click, and playback of how a page was used. Clarity does set cookies and does give your browser an ID. It only runs if you press Accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, or if you have not answered yet, Clarity is not loaded at all — the script is never requested and no Clarity cookie is created.

Cookies

If you press Decline, this site stores one thing in your browser: a note that you declined, so we do not ask again on every page. That note stays in your browser and is never sent to us or to anyone else.

If you press Accept, Microsoft Clarity loads and sets:

• _clck — a persistent ID for your browser, so repeat visits can be recognised. Clarity keeps this for about a year.
• _clsk — a short-lived ID that groups one visit together. It expires within a day.

Neither is used for advertising, and we do not share anything about your visit with ad networks. You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page, or by clearing your browser's cookies and site data for this site.

Other companies involved

These are the only outside companies that receive anything when you use this site:

• Vercel — hosts the website. Like every web host, its servers see your IP address and browser type in ordinary server logs when a page is requested.
• Cloudflare — runs the small program that checks form submissions for spam before they are emailed.
• Resend — delivers the form submission email to Michele.
• Microsoft Clarity — usage recording and heatmaps. Only after you press Accept.
• Google Fonts — the typefaces on this site are loaded from Google's servers, which means Google sees your IP address when the page loads. We are moving these onto our own server so that stops.
• Landslide Studios — builds and maintains the sites, and is copied on lead emails.

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone else. Once you become a client, the paperwork for an actual transaction is handled by eXp Realty, LLC under its own terms — that is separate from this website.

Links to other sites

Some links here go to places we do not control — Zillow, Facebook, LinkedIn, the NC Real Estate Commission, and the property search. Once you follow one of those links, that company's own privacy policy applies, not this one.

How long we keep things

Form submissions live in Michele's email inbox. She keeps enquiries for as long as it is useful to help you and to meet North Carolina real estate record-keeping rules — which for an actual transaction is three years — and deletes them after that. Clarity data is held by Microsoft for up to 30 days. Vercel's page-view counts are aggregate numbers with nothing personal in them.

Getting your information deleted

Email michelehuntersvillerealty@gmail.com or call (704) 458-3331 and ask. You can ask us to tell you what we hold, correct it, or delete it. We will do it, and we will not charge you or make it difficult. The only thing we may have to keep is anything required by real estate record-keeping rules for a transaction that actually happened.

To remove the cookie side of things yourself: press Cookie settings at the bottom of any page and choose Decline, then clear this site's cookies in your browser.

Children

This site is meant for adults buying and selling homes. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes

If what we collect changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top will tell you when. There is no version of this policy that quietly covers more than what is written here.
