Iron Land Group, LLC 54 State Street Suite 804, Albany, NY 12207, USA Last Updated: January 28, 2025  At Iron Land Group, LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. As a real estate company specializing in land transactions, including off-market deals and cash offers for properties in New York City and across New York State, we collect, use, and disclose information in compliance with applicable laws, including the New York SHIELD Act (Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act), the New York Property Condition Disclosure Act, and emerging requirements under the proposed New York Privacy Act. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (the "Site"), submit inquiries for cash offers, or engage with our services. By using our Site or services, you consent to these practices. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at (917) 277-5978 or info@ironlandgroup.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide seamless land evaluation services, connect sellers with investors and builders, and facilitate off-market transactions. Our collection is limited to what is necessary for these purposes.

Personal Information You Provide

• Contact Details: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you submit a property inquiry or request a cash offer.
• Property and Financial Information: Details about your land (e.g., location, size, zoning, condition) and basic financial data (e.g., asking price) to assess value using our AI-powered tools.
• Account Information: If you create an account, we collect username, password, and preferences for property alerts.

Information Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time stamps via cookies and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics).

• AI Assessment Data: During property evaluations, we may process uploaded documents (e.g., deeds, surveys) through secure AI systems for valuation.
  

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (e.g., biometric data, racial/ethnic details) unless required for a transaction (e.g., under fair housing disclosures) and only with your explicit consent. We do not target or collect data from children under 13.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to deliver high-quality, efficient real estate services while staying on the cutting edge of technology. Key uses include:

• Service Delivery: Evaluating your land for cash offers, connecting you with builders/investors, and processing transactions.
• Communication: Sending updates on offers, market trends, or newsletters (with opt-out options).
• Improvement: Enhancing our AI tools for accurate assessments and analyzing Site usage to improve user experience.
• Compliance and Security: Meeting legal obligations under the SHIELD Act (e.g., data breach notifications) and protecting against fraud.
• Marketing: Personalizing promotions for land opportunities, subject to your consent.

Under the proposed New York Privacy Act, we will obtain explicit consent before processing sensitive data and allow you to access or delete your information upon request.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not "sell" your personal information as defined under applicable laws. Sharing is limited, secure, and purposeful:

• Service Providers: With trusted third parties (e.g., title companies, attorneys in New York, AI processors) who help with evaluations, closings, and compliance. All are bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Business Partners: To investors or builders for off-market deals, only with your approval and anonymized where possible.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law (e.g., SHIELD Act breach reporting to the New York Attorney General) or to protect rights/safety.
• Affiliates: Within Iron Land Group for internal operations, maintaining the same protections.

We ensure all recipients comply with New York privacy standards, including reasonable safeguards for private information (e.g., Social Security numbers, financial account details). International transfers are rare and only to countries with adequate protections.

4. Data Security

Your trust is our foundation. We implement robust measures aligned with the SHIELD Act:

• Reasonable Safeguards: Encryption, firewalls, access controls, and regular security audits to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
• AI Security: Our cutting-edge AI assessments use anonymized data processing to minimize risks.
• Breach Response: In the event of a breach compromising private information, we will notify affected individuals and the New York Attorney General without unreasonable delay, as required by law.

Despite these efforts, no system is impenetrable. We encourage strong passwords and two-factor authentication where available.
