Joy Watson Real Estate

Last updated: October 23, 2025

At Joy Watson Real Estate (JWRE), your privacy and trust matter. This policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit JoyWatsonRealEstate.com, contact us, or work with us as a client or guest.

1. Information We Collect

• Personal Information: your name, email, phone number, and property details you provide when you reach out, request information, or schedule a showing.
• Property Related Information: MLS data, market analytics, and publicly available information used to research properties or prepare reports.
• Website Data: non identifiable analytics such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited to improve the site and user experience.
• Client Communication Data: notes, requests, and questions you share so we can respond with accurate and personalized information.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

2. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Tools

JWRE uses artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT and similar platforms, to support education and client service. These tools help us:

• Research public data about neighborhoods, market trends, and comparable properties.
• Create client specific reports that summarize public property details, zoning, or regulatory information.
• Draft educational blog posts that address real client questions about homes, inspections, and community topics.
• Improve clarity and readability in written communication.

Important boundaries:

• AI is a research and drafting tool, not a decision maker.
• We do not input confidential or identifying client data into AI tools. This includes full names, exact addresses tied to private details, financial information, or contracts.
• All AI assisted materials are reviewed and edited by Joy Watson, a licensed North Carolina Realtor, before they are shared with clients or published.
• AI assisted reports and posts are informational only. They are not legal, financial, or medical advice.

By using this site or JWRE services, you acknowledge that AI tools may contribute to some research and educational content under human supervision.
