Privacy Policy
Manhattan Properties (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors and clients engaging with our Manhattan-focused residential and commercial real estate advisory practice. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and inquiry channels, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It is intended for individuals interacting with us in connection with New York City — particularly Manhattan — real estate matters.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect:
- Contact & inquiry data you submit via forms — such as name, email, phone, interest type (residential buying/selling, commercial leasing, investment), preferred Manhattan neighborhoods, and message content.
- Communication records from emails, calls, or meetings with our Madison Avenue desk or partner network.
- Technical data such as browser type, device, approximate location derived from IP address, referring pages, and general Site usage (pages viewed, including Insights articles).
- Cookies and similar technologies that help the Site function, remember preferences, or understand aggregate traffic patterns.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The Site is directed to adults evaluating Manhattan real estate and related professional services.
2. How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to consultation requests and provide market intelligence relevant to Manhattan properties;
- Connect you, with your knowledge, to vetted Manhattan-licensed broker partners, land-use attorneys, or tax advisors when appropriate;
- Improve Site content (for example, Insights on Local Law 97, retail corridors, or neighborhood trends);
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations applicable in New York;
- Send follow-up communications related to your inquiry or, where permitted, periodic market notes.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who host the Site (for example, AWS S3 / CloudFront), process forms (such as API Gateway / Lambda when enabled), or provide email infrastructure;
- Professional partners in our vetted network when you request an introduction or when sharing is reasonably necessary to fulfill your Manhattan real estate inquiry;
- Authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property;
- Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
4. Cookies, Fonts & Third-Party Content
The Site may load resources from third parties (for example, Google Fonts or image CDNs used for editorial photography). Those providers may process technical data under their own policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.
5. Data Retention & Security
We retain inquiry and related records for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described above, maintain business records typical of New York real estate advisory practices, and meet legal or regulatory requirements. We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards; no method of internet transmission or storage is completely secure.
6. Your Choices & New York Residents
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions (for example, records we must retain for compliance). You may also opt out of non-essential marketing emails by using unsubscribe links or contacting us.
We aim to handle personal information consistent with applicable U.S. and New York expectations for data security, including principles reflected in the New York SHIELD Act regarding reasonable safeguards for private information. If you believe your information has been compromised in a manner requiring notice under New York law, contact us promptly using the details below.
7. International Visitors
The Site is operated from the United States and oriented to Manhattan / New York City real estate. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you understand that information may be processed in the United States, where laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date. Continued use of the Site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
