Privacy Policy
Effective October 20, 2026. How John Colin & Co. collects, uses and protects your information.
John Colin & Co. (“we,” “us”) is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage (Broker BK3546525, Office CQ1073023) located at 9470 Corkscrew Palms Cir #101, Estero, FL 33928. This policy explains what we collect when you use johncolinandco.com (the “Site”) and how we use it.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a form, use one of our tools (home value, community quiz, commission or investment calculators, market report, listing alerts, guide downloads) or book a call, we collect what you enter. That usually means your name, phone number, email address, the property or area you are interested in, and any message or answers you provide.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers collect basic technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring site and the time of your visit. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, remember choices (for example, that you already closed a pop-up) and understand how the Site is used.
Third-party content. Some pages load maps, fonts or embedded media from third parties (for example map tiles from OpenStreetMap/CARTO and Google Maps links). Those providers may receive your IP address when that content loads.
Analytics and advertising. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site, Microsoft Clarity to see how pages are used (for example clicks and scrolling, with form fields masked) so we can improve them, and the Meta Pixel to measure our Facebook and Instagram ads and show relevant ads to people who have visited the Site. These tools use cookies and may collect device and usage data. You can opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, adjust ad preferences in your Facebook and Instagram settings, and block or delete cookies in your browser.

Text messages and calls
If you give us your phone number and agree on a form, you consent to receive calls and text messages from John Colin & Co. about your inquiry. Consent is not a condition of buying or selling property. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

We do not sell, rent or share your mobile number or text-messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
