Last updated: June 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit forrestergrouprealestate.com (the “Site”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

By using the Site or providing your information to us, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

  • Pages viewed, listings clicked, and time spent on the Site

  • Schedule and manage appointments, showings, and consultations;
  • Communicate with you by phone call, text message (SMS/MMS), or email;

  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, or misuse of the Site.

3. SMS / Text Messaging Privacy

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

When you opt in to receive text messages from us (for example, by submitting your phone number through a form on the Site or replying to a message), we use that phone number solely to contact you about your real estate inquiry, listings of interest, appointments, and related updates from Forrester Group.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message. Reply HELP for assistance. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to deliver our services and as described below:

  • eXp Realty — our sponsoring brokerage, for transaction support, compliance, and licensing requirements.
  • Team members and licensed agents — to follow up on your inquiry and provide real estate services.
  • Service providers — companies that help us operate the Site, host data, send communications, run analytics, process forms, or manage advertising (e.g., GoHighLevel/LeadConnector, email and SMS providers, Google, Meta, MLS data vendors).
  • Real estate transaction partners — if you engage us, we may share necessary information with other agents, title companies, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, attorneys, and similar parties to complete your transaction.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities — when required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of others.
  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure performance, and support marketing. This may include tools from Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and GoHighLevel.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through your settings. Disabling cookies may affect Site functionality.

6. Third-Party Websites & Listing Portals

The Site links to third-party websites, including the eXp Realty listing portal (damianforrester.expportal.com), social media platforms, mortgage providers, and other services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their privacy policies before submitting any information.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, respond to your inquiries, comply with our legal and regulatory obligations (including real estate recordkeeping requirements under Montana law), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Inactive marketing contacts may be removed periodically.

8. Your Choices & Rights

You may:

  • Unsubscribe from emails by using the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email;
  • Opt out of SMS by replying STOP to any text message;

  • Request correction or deletion of your information, subject to legal recordkeeping obligations;
  • Limit cookies and tracking through your browser or device settings.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.

9. California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information. To make a CCPA request, contact us using the details below.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no industry standard for responding to these signals, and the Site does not currently respond to them. You can still control tracking through cookie settings as described in Section 5.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. International Users

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, which may have data-protection laws different from those of your country.
