Who we are: This website is operated by Cocks International Realty Inc., Brokerage, 212 Hwy 141, Utterson, Ontario, Canada. Our Broker of Record and privacy contact is Andrew John Cocks. Call or text 705-996-5892. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website and our related communications, why, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario law, and we send commercial electronic messages in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

Information we collect:

  • Information you give us: when you submit a form, register for a Virtual Office Website (VOW) account, or contact us, we collect your name, email address, phone number, message, whether you are buying or selling, and your property interests and saved-search preferences.
  • Communications: records of our emails, text messages, and calls with you, and your message preferences.
  • Technical and tracking data: when you visit this website we collect your IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, and similar usage data through cookies and tracking technologies, including analytics tools and advertising pixels (such as the Meta Pixel), which tell us how visitors use the site and let us measure and improve our advertising.

How we use it: to respond to your enquiry; to provide saved searches, listing alerts, and VOW access you asked for; to arrange showings and provide real estate services; to send service messages about your enquiry; to send marketing messages by email or text only where you have consented or where the law otherwise permits; to operate, secure, and improve this website; and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, which include duties under Ontario real estate law and, where a transaction is involved, identity verification requirements under Canadian anti-money-laundering law (FINTRAC).

Consent: By submitting a form, you consent to our collecting and using your information for the purposes described here. Marketing consent is separate and always optional, and consent is never a condition of receiving our services. You may withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails, by replying STOP to a text, or by contacting us.

Sharing: We do not sell your personal information. We share it only: with service providers who help us operate this website and our communications (including our website and CRM platform, our listings and VOW provider MyRealPage, and email, text, analytics, and advertising platforms), who may use it only on our instructions; with another brokerage or professional where you ask us to make a referral or introduction; and where required by law, a regulator, or a court.

Where your information goes: Our service providers may store or process information in Canada, the United States, or other countries. While it is in another country, it may be subject to that country's laws. If you are visiting or contacting us from the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, the United States, or elsewhere outside Canada, you may have additional rights over your information under your local law — including rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of it, and to object to certain uses. Contact us and we will honour the rights that apply to you.

Cookies: You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of this website may not work properly without them.

Retention and security: We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above and for our legal and regulatory record-keeping duties; real estate transaction records are retained for the periods Ontario law requires. We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no system is perfectly secure.

Your rights in Canada: You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask questions or raise a concern about how we handle it. Contact our privacy contact above and we will respond.

Children: This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Changes: If we update this policy, we will post the new version here with a new date.
