1. Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to information we collect through lasvegashomesearchexperts.com, every subdomain and successor property we operate under the same brand, and the related contact channels we use to communicate with you, including telephone calls, voicemails, SMS and MMS messages, email, in-person meetings, signed agreements, and the customer-relationship management (CRM), lead-routing, and transaction-management platforms we use to run our brokerage.
This Policy does not apply to information collected by third-party websites or services we link to or embed (for example, builder websites, lender pre-approval portals, third-party mortgage calculators, school-information providers, or social-media platforms). Those services have their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them before providing information.
If you engage NREG as your real estate broker by signing a Brokerage Agreement to Represent Buyer/Tenant, a Listing Agreement, a Consent to Act, or any other written agreement required by Nevada law, the information we collect in connection with that engagement is also subject to Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 645, Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 645, the Nevada Duties Owed disclosure, and the recordkeeping rules of the Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED). Where those legal obligations conflict with this Policy, those obligations control.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in four ways: (a) directly from you; (b) automatically from your device and your interaction with the Site; (c) from third parties; and (d) in limited circumstances, from public sources.
2.1 Information you provide directly
When you submit a form, create an account, save a search, request a showing, request a home valuation, send a message, call us, text us, email us, attend an open house, or meet with one of our agents, you may provide:
- Identity and contact information — your name, telephone number, email address, mailing address, and the address of any property you ask about;
- Property-search preferences — price range, beds and baths, square footage, neighborhood, school district, lot size, HOA tolerance, single-story preference, must-have features, pets-allowed flag, and similar criteria;
- Financial-readiness information — whether you are pre-qualified or pre-approved, your target timeline, your lender of record (if you choose to share it), source of funds (cash vs. financed), and any down-payment-assistance program you are exploring;
- Account credentials — the email address you use to log in, an encrypted password, and any social-login token you authorize (e.g., Google);
- Communications content — the text of messages you send us, voicemails you leave, transcripts of chat sessions, and copies of emails;
- Photographs, documents, and attachments — any image, PDF, or other file you send to us (e.g., a copy of a survey, a builder upgrade list, a closing disclosure);
- Transaction-related information — once you engage NREG as your broker, we may collect information that Nevada law and our policies require for an active transaction, including government-issued identification for compliance purposes, financial qualifications, signed disclosure forms, offer terms, inspection reports, escrow instructions, and closing documents.
2.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our infrastructure and analytics tools automatically collect technical and usage information, which may include:
- Your IP address, approximate geographic region derived from your IP, device type, operating system, browser, browser language, and screen size;
- Pages and listings you view, search queries you run, the order in which you navigate the Site, time on page, scroll depth, clicks, and form interactions;
- The referring URL (the page or ad you clicked to reach the Site) and exit URL;
- Cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, SDKs, local-storage entries, and other identifiers we or our analytics and advertising partners set on your device (described further in Section 6);
- Marketing-campaign attribution data such as UTM parameters and ad-click identifiers (e.g., Google’s gclid, Microsoft’s msclkid, Facebook’s fbclid);
- Server logs that record requests made to our infrastructure (including HTTP method, response code, response size, user-agent, and a timestamp) for security, diagnostic, and abuse-prevention purposes.
2.3 Information from third parties
We receive information about you from third parties that interact with you on our behalf or that supply data we display on the Site:
- Las Vegas REALTORS® (LVR) / GLVAR MLS— active and historical listing inventory, listing photographs, listing-broker identifiers, listing-agent identifiers, and standardized property attributes displayed under our Internet Data Exchange (IDX) license;
- Public records— the Clark County Assessor, Recorder, GIS portal, and tax rolls; the U.S. Census Bureau; the Federal Housing Finance Agency; the Bureau of Labor Statistics; and similar government datasets;
- Lead-source partners— consumer real estate portals and ad networks that route a lead to us when you submit a form on their platform asking about a Las Vegas property (for example, Zillow, Homes.com, Google Local Services Ads, Meta/Facebook Lead Ads, OpenHouse.com, Trulia, and similar channels);
- Service providers and data enrichment vendors— CRM, analytics, advertising, and identity-resolution providers that may append publicly available demographic, household, or property-ownership data to a contact record we already hold;
- Social-media platforms— if you interact with our profile on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, or another platform, that platform may share information with us subject to its privacy settings;
- Referrals from other licensees or clients— we may receive your contact information from another real estate licensee, a past client, or a business partner who is referring you to NREG.
2.4 Sensitive information we generally do not seek
We do not knowingly request through the Site any of the following: Social-Security numbers; complete financial-account numbers; biometric identifiers; precise device geolocation (longitude/latitude beyond what a coarse IP lookup yields); religious, philosophical, or trade-union beliefs; sexual orientation (other than what is needed to honor your familial-status preferences as a household buyer); or health information. If such information becomes necessary later in a transaction (for example, a lender disclosure or an accessibility accommodation), it is typically collected through a secure transaction-management or e-signature system run by a licensed lender, escrow company, or transaction coordinator, not through this Site.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information described in Section 2 for the following business and commercial purposes:
- Respond to your inquiries, schedule and confirm property showings, return calls and texts, answer questions, and route your lead to a licensed NREG agent best suited to help you;
- Deliver saved searches, new-listing alerts, price-change alerts, market reports, newsletters, and other communications you have asked to receive;
- Provide real estate brokerage services pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 645 and any signed brokerage agreement, including offer preparation, contract administration, marketing of your listing, comparable-market analysis, and transaction coordination;
- Verify your identity, screen for fraud, comply with applicable anti-money-laundering guidance, and meet Fair Housing recordkeeping expectations;
- Operate, maintain, secure, debug, and improve the Site, including measuring performance, fixing bugs, defending against abuse, and developing new features;
- Personalize content and Listings for you (for example, surfacing communities, price bands, or builders that match your stated preferences) and personalize advertising we run on third-party platforms;
- Send marketing communications by email, SMS/MMS text message, telephone, direct mail, and through targeted advertising platforms, in each case as permitted by the consent you have provided and by applicable law;
- Conduct quality assurance, training, performance evaluation, and recordkeeping, including by recording calls and retaining message transcripts where permitted by law;
- Detect, investigate, prevent, mitigate, and respond to fraud, scraping, spam, abuse, security incidents, intellectual-property infringement, and similar threats;
- Comply with law, regulation, court orders, subpoenas, and lawful requests from government authorities (including the Nevada Real Estate Division), and to defend against or pursue legal claims;
- Carry out internal corporate functions such as accounting, tax reporting, insurance, audits, and the planning, evaluation, and execution of a sale, financing, or reorganization of NREG.
Use of artificial-intelligence tools. We use AI-powered tools provided by third parties (for example, large-language-model APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and similar providers) to summarize inbound messages, draft response templates, generate market analyses, route or score leads, classify intent, suggest listing matches, and personalize content. Information you submit to NREG — including the content of messages, contact details, property-search preferences, transaction information, and similar data — may be transmitted to those AI providers and may be used by them to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise improve their models, products, and services on an ongoing basis.AI-generated outputs are reviewed for accuracy before they are sent to you where practicable, but generative AI is known to produce errors and you should not rely on any AI-generated content as professional advice. If you do not want your information transmitted to AI providers for these purposes, do not submit information through the Site — contact us instead by telephone at (702) 637-1759.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
For users in jurisdictions that require disclosure of a legal basis (for example, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland), the legal bases on which we process personal information are:
- Performance of a contract— processing necessary to respond to your inquiry, schedule a showing, or perform the brokerage services covered by a signed agreement with you;
- Legitimate interests— processing necessary for the legitimate interests of NREG or a third party, such as operating, improving, and marketing our Services; preventing fraud and abuse; defending our legal rights; and conducting internal business administration. We balance our legitimate interests against your rights and freedoms;
- Consent— processing for which you have given express consent, such as marketing email, SMS marketing, advertising cookies, or participation in a survey. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
- Compliance with legal obligations— processing necessary to comply with applicable law, including the rules of the Nevada Real Estate Division, federal Fair Housing law, tax reporting, anti-money-laundering guidance, and lawful government requests.
7. Marketing Communications; TCPA and SMS Consent
This Section contains an express written consent under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and state mini-TCPA laws to receive autodialed, prerecorded, and artificial-voice calls and text messages from NREG, Chris Nevada, and LPT Realty, even if your number is on a federal or state Do-Not-Call registry. Consent is not a condition of purchase. You may revoke at any time by any reasonable means, including by replying STOP to a text.
Email marketing — CAN-SPAM compliance.When you ask to receive marketing email from us (for example, by checking a newsletter box or submitting a contact form that clearly indicates marketing follow-up), we will email you market reports, new listings, blog posts, and other promotional content. Our marketing emails comply with the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. §§ 7701 et seq.): each marketing email identifies the sender, includes a postal address, identifies itself as an advertisement where required, and contains a functioning unsubscribe mechanism that we honor within ten (10) business days. You may opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by writing to info@nevadagroup.com. Opt-out does not affect transactional communications related to a property, an offer, or an active transaction.
SMS and MMS text messaging — TCPA express written consent. By providing your mobile telephone number to NREG and submitting any form, calling or texting us, clicking a click-to-text element, or otherwise asking to be contacted by text, you expressly authorize Nevada Real Estate Group, LLC; Chris Nevada individually; LPT Realty, LLC (the Brokerage); and each of their respective affiliated agents, employees, vendors, successors, and assigns (the “Calling Parties”) to deliver, or cause to be delivered, recurring marketing, informational, transactional, and follow-up text messages (SMS, MMS, RCS, and any successor protocol) to that mobile number using any automated technology — including an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS), automated dialing platform, AI-assisted dialer, or any other automated technology, regardless of whether the underlying equipment satisfies the definition of an ATDS under Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, 141 S. Ct. 1163 (2021). This consent satisfies the “prior express written consent” requirement of 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(9)and the parallel state-law requirements identified below. You acknowledge that this consent applies even if the number you provide is registered on the federal Do-Not-Call Registry, the Nevada Do-Not-Call list (NRS 228.500 et seq.), your wireless carrier’s do-not-disturb list, or any similar list. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service. Message and data rates may apply (typically 1–10 messages per month per active relationship, higher during an active transaction). Reply STOP to opt out from the number that sent the message. Reply HELPfor help. Carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, US Cellular, and others) are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Telephone calls — TCPA express written consent.By providing your telephone number, you also expressly authorize the Calling Parties to place voice calls to that number for telemarketing, advertising, informational, transactional, and follow-up purposes — including calls placed by an automatic telephone dialing system, predictive dialer, preview dialer, click-to-call dialer, AI-assisted dialer, or any other automated technology, and calls using an artificial or prerecorded voice — even if the number is on a federal or state do-not-call registry. This consent satisfies 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(9). Consent is not a condition of any purchase or service.
Quiet hours.Consistent with the TCPA and the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 C.F.R. § 310.4(c)), we instruct our agents and vendors not to place telemarketing calls or send marketing text messages to your number before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. local time at your physical location. Time-sensitive transactional messages (for example, a same-day showing confirmation, an offer counter, or a contract signature reminder) are not subject to this restriction.
Internal company-specific do-not-call list. Consistent with 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(d), NREG maintains an internal company-specific do-not-call list. When you ask us to stop calling or texting you, we add the number to that list. Numbers on the list will not receive further telemarketing communications from the Calling Parties for at least five (5) years, subject to a transactional carve-out for any active inquiry or transaction.
Revocation by any reasonable means. Consistent with 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(10), you may revoke consent at any time by any reasonable means, including: (a) replying STOP, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, END, or a clear equivalent to a marketing text; (b) telling a live agent on a call that you wish to be added to our internal DNC list; (c) emailing info@nevadagroup.com with the subject “TCPA Opt-Out Request” or a clear equivalent; or (d) sending written notice to the address in Section 19. Revocation is processed within ten (10) business days.
Reassigned-number safe harbor.You agree to notify NREG promptly if the telephone number you provided is reassigned to another subscriber or you otherwise relinquish use of it. In reliance on the consent you provide and consistent with the FCC’s Reassigned Numbers Database safe harbor at 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(4)(iv)(B), you agree that the Calling Parties shall not be liable for communications placed in good-faith reliance on consent records that were accurate when consent was given and on the RND’s data, even if the number has been reassigned without our knowledge.
State mini-TCPAs and telemarketing acts. The express consent in this Section also satisfies the analogous consent requirements of the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (Fla. Stat. § 501.059), the Oklahoma Telephone Solicitation Act of 2022 (15 Okla. Stat. §§ 775C.1 et seq.), the Washington Commercial Electronic Mail Act (RCW 19.190) and Washington telemarketing rules, the Maryland Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the New York Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, the Nevada Telephone Solicitation Law (NRS 228.500 et seq.), and any successor or equivalent state telemarketing law.
Call and message recording — Nevada NRS 200.620. We may record, retain, and monitor telephone calls, voicemails, text messages, chat sessions, and email correspondence between you and the Calling Parties for quality assurance, agent training, compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and evidentiary purposes. You acknowledge that NRS 200.620 generally requires the consent of all parties to the interception or recording of a wire communication; your consent under this Section satisfies that requirement for any call or message between you and a Calling Party.
Authority to bind the number-holder.If you provide a telephone number you do not own or primarily use, you represent that you have actual authority to grant the consent on this Section’s terms on behalf of the actual subscriber and primary user. You agree to indemnify the Calling Parties for any claim alleging lack of consent that arises from your misrepresentation.
Direct mail and postcard marketing. We may send physical mail (for example, market-update postcards, just-listed/just-sold postcards) to the mailing address you provide. To opt out of direct mail, email us at info@nevadagroup.com.
Pre-suit notice. If you believe a communication you received violated any TCPA, mini-TCPA, telemarketing, or CAN-SPAM provision, you agree to contact info@nevadagroup.com at least thirty (30) days before filing a lawsuit, arbitration, or complaint so that we have a reasonable opportunity to investigate, cure, and remedy any error.
8. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
The Site is intended for adults at least eighteen (18) years of age who are able to enter into a binding contract. We do not direct the Site to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 in violation of the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or from minors otherwise protected by applicable law. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete the information promptly. A parent or guardian who believes their child has provided personal information to us may contact us at info@nevadagroup.com.
9. Your Privacy Rights — Universal
Regardless of where you live, NREG will, to the extent reasonably feasible and consistent with applicable law, honor the following requests:
- Access— request a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
- Correction— request that we correct inaccurate personal information about you;
- Deletion— request that we delete personal information about you, subject to lawful retention obligations (for example, brokerage transaction records required under NRS 645.635 and NAC 645.650, federal and state tax records, anti-money-laundering recordkeeping, or active or anticipated litigation holds);
- Opt out of marketing— ask us to stop sending you marketing email, SMS, calls, or direct mail;
- Opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising— ask us to stop sharing your information for targeted advertising (we honor GPC where the law requires);
- Withdraw consent— where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of past processing;
- Complain to a regulator— lodge a complaint with the appropriate data-protection authority in your jurisdiction.
How to submit a request. Email us at info@nevadagroup.com or call (702) 637-1759. We will verify your identity through reasonable means — typically by matching the information you provide against the information on file with us. We will respond to a verified request within forty-five (45) days; complex requests may take up to an additional forty-five days with notice to you (for a total of up to 90 days). Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf with verifiable proof of authorization (signed written permission from you plus verification of your identity).
10. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
This section applies to California residents and describes the additional rights granted by the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”).
Categories of personal information collected in the prior 12 months. Consistent with CCPA categories, in the prior 12 months we have collected:
- Identifiers— real name, alias, postal address, telephone number, email address, account name, IP address, online identifiers, and similar;
- Customer-records categories under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e) — such as your name, telephone number, and other contact information;
- Commercial information— records of properties you inquired about, showings requested, valuations requested, and inferences about your interest in particular communities or price bands;
- Internet or other electronic-network activity information — browsing history on the Site, search history on the Site, pages and listings viewed, time-on-page, and interactions with our advertisements;
- Geolocation data— approximate location derived from IP address (we do not collect precise GPS coordinates through the Site);
- Audio and visual information— voicemails and recordings of telephone calls (where recording is permitted by law and you have notice);
- Professional or employment information— only if you voluntarily share it (for example, you tell your agent that you are relocating for a new job);
- Inferences— derived characteristics drawn from the above (for example, “likely first-time buyer” or “Summerlin-area interest”).
Sources, purposes, and recipients are described in Sections 2, 3, and 5 above. We retain each category in accordance with Section 15.
“Sale” and “sharing” disclosure. NREG does not knowingly sell personal information for money. NREG may “share”personal information — specifically Identifiers and Internet/Electronic-Network Activity Information — with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under the CCPA. You may opt out of this sharing at any time through the methods described in Section 6 (Global Privacy Control, NAI/DAA opt-outs, browser controls) or by submitting a request at our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we actually know to be under 16 without affirmative opt-in.
Sensitive personal information. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that would require us to offer a CPRA right-to-limit notice. If our practices change, we will update this Policy.
California rights. California residents may exercise the following rights at no charge and without retaliation: Right to Know what personal information we have collected; Right to Access a copy of that information; Right to Correct inaccurate information; Right to Delete personal information (subject to exceptions); Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising; Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information; Right to Non-Discrimination for exercising any CCPA right. Submit requests by email or telephone using the contact information in Section 19.
Shine the Light.California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request, once per calendar year, a list of third parties to whom we have disclosed personal information for the recipients’ direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year. To make such a request, email info@nevadagroup.comwith the subject line “Shine the Light Request.”
Notice of Financial Incentives. NREG does not currently offer a financial-incentive program that requires a CCPA notice of financial incentives. If we launch a referral, loyalty, or similar program, we will update this Policy.
11. Nevada Privacy Rights (SB 220 / NRS 603A.340)
Under Nevada Senate Bill 220 (codified at Nevada Revised Statutes § 603A.340), Nevada consumers have the right to direct an “operator” of a commercial Internet website not to make any saleof certain “covered information” collected through the website to a person who will license or sell the information to additional persons.
NREG does not currently engage in sales of covered information as defined by Nevada law. Even so, Nevada consumers may submit a verified opt-out request to ensure that, in the future, no such sale occurs. To submit a verified Nevada opt-out request, email info@nevadagroup.com with the subject line “Nevada Opt-Out Request” and include your full name, the email address you have used on the Site, and a Nevada mailing address so we can verify your residency. We will respond within sixty (60) days of receipt.
12. Other State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain states have additional rights under their state’s comprehensive privacy law. The catalog of state laws and effective dates is evolving; the following list reflects the laws in effect as of the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy and may be updated as new laws take effect.
The rights commonly granted by these laws — subject to exceptions and verification procedures in each law — include: Access to personal data; Correction of inaccurate personal data; Deletion of personal data; Portability of personal data in a usable format; Opt-out of sale of personal data; Opt-out of targeted advertising; and Opt-out of profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@nevadagroup.com or by telephone at (702) 637-1759.
- Virginia— Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA);
- Colorado— Colorado Privacy Act (CPA);

- Montana— Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA);
- Delaware, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Florida, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Minnesota, Maryland, and Rhode Island— rights as provided under each state’s applicable comprehensive privacy law.
Right to appeal. If we deny your request in whole or in part, you may appeal that decision by emailing info@nevadagroup.com with the subject line “Privacy Appeal” within forty-five (45) days of the denial. We will respond to the appeal within sixty (60) days of receipt with a written statement of our decision and the reasons for it. If we deny the appeal, you may contact the attorney general or similar regulator of your state of residence.
13. International Users (GDPR / UK GDPR)
NREG operates exclusively in the State of Nevada and does not target users outside the United States. We are not established in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland and have not appointed a representative under Article 27 of the EU/UK GDPR; if we determine that a representative is required, we will appoint one and update this Policy.
If you are nevertheless an individual whose personal information is processed in connection with services NREG provides to you, then for purposes of EU/UK/Swiss data-protection law NREG acts as the controller of that information. The legal bases on which we process personal information are described in Section 4. Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection, and you may withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
International transfers. Personal information you provide is processed and stored in the United States. Where required, we rely on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and on equivalent UK and Swiss transfer mechanisms to legitimize transfers to the United States.
14. Information Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards include transport-layer security (TLS) for data in transit, role-based access controls in our CRM and transaction-management systems, multi-factor authentication on key administrative accounts, password requirements for user accounts, periodic credential rotation, vendor due diligence, and access logging. We require service providers to use commercially reasonable security measures consistent with the nature of the data they process for us.
No system or method of transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information. If you believe your interaction with the Site or NREG is no longer secure (for example, if you suspect your account has been compromised), notify us immediately at info@nevadagroup.com.
Breach notification — Nevada NRS 603A. In the event of a breach of the security of the system involving personal information, we will investigate, take reasonable steps to mitigate, and provide notice consistent with Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 603A.220 and 603A.230 (the Nevada Security of Personal Information Act) and any other applicable state breach-notification statute. Notice will be provided in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, taking into account the legitimate needs of law enforcement and any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the system. By providing your email address, you consent to receive breach notification by email where permitted by the applicable statute.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and nonpublic personal information. Where, in the course of a real estate transaction, we receive nonpublic personal financial information (NPI) about you from a lender, title company, escrow officer, or other financial institution (for example, on a settlement statement or closing disclosure), we treat that NPI in accordance with the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 6801 et seq.) and the implementing regulations of the Federal Trade Commission’s Safeguards Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 314). We limit access to NPI to personnel who need it to perform the transaction, require service providers to maintain comparable safeguards, and dispose of NPI consistent with the Disposal Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 682).
Anti-money laundering (AML) and OFAC.We may screen counterparties in a real estate transaction against U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions lists, beneficial-ownership disclosures required by FinCEN’s Geographic Targeting Orders (GTOs) where applicable, and other anti-money-laundering checks. The information collected for these screens is used solely for compliance and is not shared beyond the parties required to receive it by law.
15. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Specific retention windows include:
- General website inquiries that do not result in a transaction — typically retained up to seven (7) years for marketing follow-up, after which the record is deleted, anonymized, or moved to a long-term archival store with restricted access;
- Brokerage transaction records— when you engage NREG as your broker, transaction records (offers, contracts, disclosures, addenda, inspection reports, escrow instructions, closing statements) are retained for the minimum periods required by NRS 645.635 and NAC 645.650— not less than five (5) years from the date of close or the last activity on the file, whichever is later — and for longer where required by tax law, anti-money-laundering guidance, or pending or reasonably anticipated litigation holds;
- Call recordings and voicemails— typically retained for twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) months unless a longer hold applies (for example, a dispute or active transaction);
- Marketing analytics and server logs— typically retained for up to twenty-six (26) months, after which they are aggregated, de-identified, or deleted;
- Backups and archived copies— may persist for additional reasonable periods consistent with our backup and disaster-recovery cycle, after which they are overwritten in the normal course.
Where you exercise a right to delete personal information (Section 9 or 12), we will delete or de-identify the information in our active systems and will purge it from backups in accordance with our normal backup-rotation cycle, subject to the lawful retention obligations described above.
16. Third-Party Sites and Embedded Content
The Site may contain links to third-party websites and may embed third-party content (for example, Mapbox or Google maps, YouTube or Vimeo video, social-media embeds, mortgage calculators, school-information panels, builder microsites, and MLS-supplied virtual tours). When you click a link or interact with embedded content, the third party may collect information about you under its own privacy policy and cookie policy. We do not control those third parties’ data practices and are not responsible for them. We encourage you to review the privacy notice of any third-party site or service before providing information.
17. Real Estate–Specific Notices
MLS and IDX data. Listing data displayed on the Site is supplied by the Las Vegas REALTORS® (LVR) / GLVAR MLS under Internet Data Exchange rules. The data is provided for the personal, non-commercial use of consumers who may be interested in purchasing or leasing real property. We do not control the data-collection or privacy practices of the originating listing brokerage; if you have a privacy question about a specific listing photograph or description, contact the listing brokerage identified in the Listing.
Fair Housing. We process every inquiry and represent every client in compliance with the federal Fair Housing Act(42 U.S.C. §§ 3601 et seq.), the Nevada Fair Housing Law (NRS Chapter 118), the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and we will not steer, withhold, or target inventory on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), familial status, national origin, ancestry, disability, age, source of income, military or veteran status, or any other protected class. We will not honor requests to discriminate.
Agency relationship disclosure. Submitting a form, requesting a valuation, or otherwise contacting NREG does not, by itself, create a brokerage, agency, fiduciary, client, or customer relationship between you and NREG, Chris Nevada, the Brokerage (LPT Realty, LLC), or any individual agent. A real estate representation relationship is formed only by a signed written agreement that complies with Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 645 and Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 645. Until such an agreement is fully executed, none of the foregoing parties owes you the fiduciary duties of a client.
Identity verification under NRS 645.When you engage NREG to represent you in a real estate transaction, we are required by Nevada law and applicable anti-money-laundering guidance to verify your identity. We may request a government-issued identification document, source-of-funds information, and, for transactions involving certain dollar thresholds in covered geographies, the beneficial-ownership disclosures required by FinCEN’s Geographic Targeting Orders.
