  • Evaluating a potential transaction;
  • Matching the property with an interested purchaser;
  • Facilitating communications;

16. Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms

Where MODPA applies, consumers may exercise certain sale or targeted-advertising opt-out rights through qualifying preference signals or other methods recognized under applicable law.

A consumer may also designate an authorized agent through an appropriate browser setting, browser extension, global device setting, Internet link, or similar technology where legally permitted.

Where legally required, we will recognize qualifying preference signals and authenticated authorized-agent requests.

21. Recording of Calls and Communications

Maryland generally requires consent from all parties before a private wire, oral, or electronic communication is recorded or intercepted, subject to statutory exceptions.

Submission of information through the Website does not constitute blanket consent to recording future telephone calls.

If we or a service provider acting on our behalf records a communication where Maryland law applies, we will:
