Schwalb Companies includes Schwalb Realty Group, Inc. and Schwalb Corporate Advisory and their affiliated entities that use this website or provide related services under the Schwalb Companies brand. In this Privacy Policy, “Schwalb Companies,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to those entities to the extent they collect, use, or disclose personal information through www.schwalb.com (this “Website”) and related communications, services, inquiries, marketing activities, and business development interactions.
We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information in a responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we disclose it, and the choices that may be available to you. By using our website or communicating with us through it, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through www.schwalb.com, including information submitted through this Website’s contact form, as well as information collected in connection with related communications, marketing, business inquiries, and other online interactions that reference this Privacy Policy. It does not govern information collected offline except where the information is later incorporated into the same systems or workflows used to support our website-related services and communications.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you choose to provide to us, information collected automatically when you use this Website, and information received from service providers or other third parties that support this Website.
Information You Provide Directly
When you submit an inquiry or otherwise contact us through this Website, we may collect your first name, last name, email address, telephone number, comments, message content, and any other information you choose to provide. If you communicate with us by email, telephone, or through the website, we may keep a record of those communications and any follow-up correspondence.
Because the Schwalb Companies operate in the real estate and business advisory space, inquiries through this Website may sometimes include business-sensitive content. Unless we specifically request it and have provided an appropriate channel, please do not submit Employer Identification Numbers, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, bank account details, payment card information, health information, highly sensitive personal information, or confidential transaction materials through this Website’s general contact form.
Information Collected Automatically
When you access or use this Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information. This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language preferences, referring URL, pages viewed, dates and times of access, and general interaction data relating to how the website is used.
We may also collect information through cookies, pixels, analytics tools, log files, and similar technologies that help us operate the website, understand traffic patterns, improve performance, maintain security, and measure the effectiveness of our online presence.
Information Collected Through Security and Anti-Spam Tools
This Website uses Google reCAPTCHA or similar anti-spam technology on contact forms. These tools may collect device, browser, and interaction information to determine whether a submission is being made by a human user rather than an automated system. Your use of website forms is therefore also subject to the relevant third-party technology provider’s terms and privacy practices.
How We Use Information
We may use personal information for the following business and commercial purposes:
| Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|
| Responding to inquiries | Contacting you about real estate brokerage services, corporate advisory matters, general questions, or follow-up discussions |
| Operating the website | Maintaining site functionality, diagnosing issues, improving design and performance, and administering this Website |
| Security and fraud prevention | Detecting spam, malicious activity, unauthorized access attempts, and other misuse of the website |
| Communications | Sending administrative communications, responding to requests, and providing information you ask to receive |
| Business administration | Internal recordkeeping, relationship management, analytics, compliance, and operational support |
| Legal and compliance purposes | Complying with law, enforcing rights, responding to lawful requests, and protecting our business, users, and the public |
We may also use information in other ways that are compatible with the context in which it was collected or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.
Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies
This Website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain basic website functionality, understand how visitors use the site, and improve performance. Based on the current website configuration, the site uses Google Analytics to help measure website traffic and usage patterns, and it uses Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam and abuse in contact-form submissions.
You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect certain website features. If we later implement a dedicated cookie banner, cookie preference center, or separate cookie notice, your choices may also be managed through those tools.
When We Disclose Information
We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:
| Recipient Category | Reason for Disclosure |
|---|---|
| Affiliates within Schwalb Companies | To respond to your inquiry, manage relationships, and support real estate or corporate advisory services across affiliated entities |
| Website, hosting, and IT service providers | To operate, host, secure, maintain, and support the website and related systems |
| Analytics, anti-spam, and communications providers | To measure website usage, protect website forms, and support communications workflows |
| Professional advisors | To obtain legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, or other professional advice |
| Transaction or restructuring counterparties | In connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction |
| Governmental authorities and others | When required by law, court order, legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, property, safety, or the website |
We do not sell personal information for money through this Website. We also do not knowingly use this Website to engage in cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising in a manner that would require an opt-out right under applicable U.S. state privacy law, based on the website practices currently in place. If that changes, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Legal Bases Where Applicable
In jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing personal information, we generally rely on one or more of the following grounds: your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business and website, the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and compliance with legal obligations.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to inquiries, maintain business records, support operations, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our rights. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the sensitivity of the data, the context of the relationship, and applicable legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer reasonably needed, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely store and isolate it until deletion is feasible.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You therefore provide information to us at your own risk and should use caution when transmitting information online.
Children’s Privacy
This Website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this Website, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
Links to Other Websites
This Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or resources that are not controlled by the Schwalb Companies. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and the nature of our relationship with you, you may have the right to request access to personal information, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of personal information, receive a copy of certain personal information, or object to or limit certain processing activities. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions, verification requirements, and our need to retain certain information for legitimate business or legal purposes.
You may also have choices regarding cookies and analytics technologies through your browser settings or any consent tools that may be implemented on this Website. If you do not want to submit personal information through our website, you may choose not to use the contact form and may instead contact us through other available channels.
If you would like to make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the contact information below and describe your request with reasonable specificity. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request. If we deny a request, you may reply to our response and explain why you believe further review is warranted.
International Visitors
The Schwalb Companies is based in the United States, and this Website is intended primarily for U.S.-based activities. If you access the website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. By using this Website, you understand that your information may be processed outside your home jurisdiction, subject to applicable law.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, website functionality, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
