Privacy Policy for California Residents
Effective Date: November 1, 2025
Last Updated on: November 1, 2025
This Privacy Policy for California Residents only relates to the website www.socoandtheocmix.us (the “Site”) and as to the Site replaces Continental Realty Corporation’s (“CRC”) Privacy Policy as to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) and any terms defined in the CCPA or CPRA have the same meaning when used in this Policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device (“personal information“). Personal information does not include:
- Publicly available information from government records.
- Deidentified or aggregated consumer information.
In particular, we have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:
| Category | Examples | Collected |
| A. Identifiers. | A real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name. | YES |
| B. Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)). | A name, address, telephone number. Some personal information included in this category may overlap with other categories. | YES |
| C. Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law. | None. | NO |
| D. Commercial information. | None. | NO |

| G. Geolocation data. | None. | NO |

| I. Professional or employment-related information. | None. | NO |
| J. Non-public education information (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99)). | None. | NO |
| K. Inferences drawn from other personal information. | None. | NO |
We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
- Directly from you. For example, from forms you complete or products and services you purchase.
- Indirectly from you by the placement of strictly necessary cookies for purposes of security and site functionality. We do not use other types of cookies, such as cookies that track Site visitors for advertising purposes.
Use of Personal Information
We do not “share” or “sell” (as California law defines those words) your personal information. We use your personal information for the non-exhaustive business purposes set forth below:
- to contact you regarding promotions and announcements;
- to provide you with support and respond to your inquiries, including to investigate and address your concerns and monitor and improve our responses;
- to send you relevant administration information regarding the Site;
- to create, maintain, customize, and secure your account with us, if applicable;
- to help diagnose problems with our server;
- to detect, investigate and prevent activities that may violate the law or our policies;
- to respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order or governmental regulation;
- to help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Site, products, services, databases, technology assets, and business;
- to enforce our Terms of Use or Accessibility policies; and
- to otherwise maintain and optimize the online services the Site provide to you.
We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
The following list describes in detail the purposes for which we and our services providers and contractors collect and use each category of Personal Information. Each number below corresponds to the specific purpose listed above:
| Category of Personal Information | Purposes for Collection and Use |
| A: Identifiers.
|
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
| B: California Customer Records personal information categories.
|
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
| C: Protected Classification Characteristics. | |
| D: Commercial information.
|

|
1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 |
Selling and Sharing of Personal Information
Under California law, personal information is “sold” or “shared” if it is provided to a third party without written promises from the third party required by California law that the personal information will only be used for the legitimate business purposes of the companies that provide and receive the personal information.
An example of selling personal information would be providing your contact information to a marketing list broker. CRC doesn’t do that. Another example of sharing information has to do with the way computer “cookies” are placed on the browsers of our website visitors. CRC only places strictly necessary cookies on your device that are needed to run the Site or deliver the information that your specifically requested, and this is not “selling” or “sharing” your personal information under California law.
We use a third-party vendor called Mailchimp to distribute our newsletter to you if you ask us to do so, but Mailchimp’s contract with us has the necessary privacy promises in it, so that’s not “sharing” or “selling” your personal information under California law either.
Unless otherwise stated, we only make the business purpose disclosures described above under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, CRC has disclosed personal information gathered from the Site for business purposes to the categories of third parties indicated in the chart below.
| Category of Personal Information | Categories of Service Provider, Contractor,
and Third-Party Recipients |
||
| Business Purpose Disclosures | Sales | Use for Targeted Advertising | |
| A: Identifiers.
|
Service providers and contractors, such as newsletter distribution company. | None. | None. |
| B: California Customer Records personal information categories. | Service providers and contractors, such as newsletter distribution company. | None. | None. |
| C: Protected Classification Characteristics.
|
None. | None. | None. |
| D: Commercial information.
|
None. | None. | None. |
| E: Biometric information.
|
None. | None. | None. |
| F: Internet or other similar network activity.

CRC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those specified in CA Civ. Code § 7027.
Sales of Your Personal Information
CRC does not “sell” any of your information.
Sensitive Personal Information
CRC does not gather any of your Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) (as defined under California law) from you, other than mail or email contents, which it uses only as needed for Permitted SPI Purposes, which by statute are defined to include:
- To perform services or provide goods that an average consumer requesting those goods or services would reasonably expect.
- To prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents compromising personal information.
- To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at the business and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.
- To ensure individuals’ physical safety.
- To perform services for the business, including maintaining or servicing accounts, providing customer service, processing or fulfilling orders and transactions, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing financing, providing analytic services, providing storage, or providing similar services for the business.
- For products, services, or devices that the business owns, manufactures (directly or indirectly), or controls, to:
- verify or maintain the quality or safety of the product, service, or device; or
- improve, upgrade, or enhance the service or device.
- For purposes that do not infer characteristics about a consumer.
However, personal information is not sensitive personal information under California law if CRC collects or processes it without having the purpose of inferring characteristics about a person. When sensitive personal information qualifies for this exception, CRC may treat the personal information as regular personal information for all California law purposes.
Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
Right to Know and Data Portability
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete, and Correct), we will disclose to you:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
- If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, a list identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete, and Correct), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. By California law, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
- Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
Right to Correct
You have the right to correct inaccurate personal information that CRC maintains about you.
Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete, and Correct
Only you, or where allowed by applicable law someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. If permitted by applicable law, to designate an authorized agent, you must authorize that agent to act on your behalf and the authorized agent must provide a copy of that written authorization when submitting their request on your behalf.
The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include:
- Your first and last name;
- Email address(es);
- Street address; and,
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Based on the information you have provided, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to verify your identity against the information already in our systems. In the event we cannot verify your identity, we may request additional information from you so that we may complete your request in compliance with the requirements of applicable law. Please note that if you do not provide the required information, we may not be able to complete your rights request and will be required to deny it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority.
To exercise your or your child’s rights to know, delete, or correct described above, please submit a request in one of the following ways:
- Calling us at 888-574-7437.
- Emailing us at info@crcrealty.com.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period.
You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know, delete, or correct. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights. But note that we don’t sell your personal information.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us using the contact information below.
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Personal Information Sales and Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
We neither sell nor share your personal information, so the idea of Opt-out or opt-in rights does not apply to us.
Opt-Out Preference Signals
Even though we neither sell nor share your personal information, we still recognize and honor opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) or similar browser settings or plug-ins, as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information.
When we receive an opt-out preference signal:
Scope of Application: The signal will be applied to the browser or device from which it is sent. If you have an account with us and are logged in when we receive the signal, we will also apply the signal to your account across browsers and devices that we can reasonably associate with you. The signal does not apply to offline sales or data collected outside of your online interactions with us.
How It Works: You do not need to take any additional steps once your browser or extension has been properly configured to send an opt-out preference signal. We will treat the signal as a request to opt out without requiring you to separately confirm your identity, provide additional information, or click through extra steps.
Frictionless Processing: We process opt-out preference signals in a frictionless manner. This means you will not be asked to provide more information, create an account, or take additional action for the opt-out to be effective. To take advantage of this feature, you must enable an opt-out preference signal, such as GPC, in your browser or through a supported extension or plug-in. Once enabled, our website will automatically detect and honor the signal.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services.
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We do not currently provide financial incentives.
