Privacy Policy – First Legacy Realty

Last updated: November 8, 2026

This policy explains what information First Legacy Realty & Home Loans collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It covers this website, our forms, our client login, and calls, texts and emails with us.

1. Who we are

First Legacy Realty & Home Loans (“we,” “us” or “our”) is a family-owned real estate and home loan office at 1645 N. Mountain Ave, Suite A, Upland, CA 91784. Angela Artiga is licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE #01734864) and holds NMLS #1992334.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

Contact details: your name, phone number, email address and mailing address.
Property details: the address, condition and details of a home you want to sell, buy or value.
Your situation: things you choose to tell us, like whether a home is in probate or a trust, whether there is a divorce, who the heirs or owners are, and your timeline.
Documents: papers you upload or send us, like court papers, trust pages, deeds, IDs, pay stubs and bank statements.
Loan information: if you apply for a loan, things like your income, job, debts, credit and Social Security number. See Home loan customers.
Account details: if you make a client login, your email and password (we store the password in a scrambled form we can’t read).
Messages: what you write to us in forms, emails and texts, and notes from our calls.

Information collected when you use the site

Your device and browser type, IP address, general location (like your city), the pages you visit, and how you got to our site.
This is collected with cookies and similar tools. See Cookies and website tools.

Information from others

Public records, like property and court records.
People involved in your sale or purchase, like your attorney, escrow, title, lenders, or other agents.
Credit reports, but only if you apply for a loan and give us permission.

3. How we use it

To answer your questions and give you the services you ask for, like a home value, a listing, a purchase or a loan.
To set up and run your client login and keep your documents safe.
To call, text or email you about your request.
To send you updates or news you signed up for. You can stop these at any time.
To work with escrow, title, lenders, attorneys and others on your sale or loan.
To keep our website working, safe and easy to use, and to stop fraud and spam.
To follow the law, including real estate and lending rules, and to protect our rights.

We only share your information when we need to, to do the work you asked for or when the law requires it. That can include:

People in your deal: escrow and title companies, lenders, appraisers, inspectors, other agents, and attorneys, including your own attorney if you ask us to.
The court: for probate or court-confirmed sales, some information is part of the court record.
Service providers: companies that help us run our business, like website hosting, email, texting, e-signing, secure document storage and our client contact system. They may only use your information to help us.
Loan partners: for home loans, the lenders and companies needed to process your loan. See Home loan customers.
Legal reasons: to follow the law, a court order or a government request, or to protect people from harm or fraud.
If our business changes: if the business is sold or merged, your information may go to the new owner, who must follow this policy.

5. We don’t sell your information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for “cross-context behavioral advertising” (ads that follow you around the internet based on what you do on other sites). We do not sell or share information about anyone under 16.

6. Calls, texts and email

If you check the box to get calls or texts, you agree that we can call or text you about your request at the number you gave us, including by automated means. Agreeing is not required to buy anything or use our services.
How often we text depends on your request. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to stop texts at any time. Reply HELP for help, or call (626) 483-6135.
We do not share or sell your phone number or text consent to anyone else for their marketing.
Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link. Even if you unsubscribe, we may still email you about a sale or loan you are in the middle of.

7. Cookies and website tools

Cookies: small files that help the site work (like keeping you logged in) and help us see which pages are useful. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Some parts of the site, like the client login, may not work without them.
Analytics: we may use a tool like Google Analytics or Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages people use. These tools get data like your browser, pages viewed and general location. They do not get what you type into our calculators.
Maps and videos: some pages show a Google map or videos from other sites. Those companies may collect data under their own privacy policies.
Our calculators and checklists: the numbers you type into our calculators stay on your own device and are not sent to us. The probate checklist saves your checkmarks only in your own browser. Nothing from these tools is sent to us unless you fill out a form.
Spam protection: our forms may use a check to block robots. That check may collect basic data about your browser.

8. Home loan customers

If you apply for or get a home loan through us, federal law (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) and California law give you extra privacy protections. We will give you a separate privacy notice that explains how loan information is collected, shared and protected, and what choices you have. If that notice and this policy ever say different things about loan information, the loan privacy notice controls. We never ask for your Social Security number or bank account numbers by regular email or text.

9. Your client page (login, messages and files)

If you work with us, we may set up a private page for you on this website. To use it you sign in with a password, or with a one-time login link we email you. The link works once and only for 15 minutes.

What we keep on your page: your name and email, the name of your case, where your sale stands, the list of papers we still need, and the messages you and our office send each other.
Your papers: files you upload go into a private Dropbox folder that only you and our office can open. They are stored by Dropbox, Inc., not on this website. See Dropbox’s privacy policy at dropbox.com/privacy.
Emails about your page: when there is a new message, we only email you that there is one. The message itself stays on the website, behind your login.
Please don’t send Social Security numbers, bank account numbers or passwords in messages. If we need a sensitive paper, we will tell you the safe way to send it.
How long we keep it: we keep your page, messages and papers as part of our records, including after your sale closes. You can ask us at any time to close your page or delete your messages and files, unless the law requires us to keep them (see “How long we keep it” below).

10. How long we keep it

We keep your information as long as we need it to help you and to follow the law. California requires real estate brokers to keep transaction records for at least three years, and lending rules can require longer. After that, we delete it or store it safely. If you just sent a question and never worked with us, we keep it only as long as it is useful, and you can ask us to delete it.

11. How we protect it

We use reasonable steps to protect your information. That includes a secure (HTTPS) website, scrambled passwords, private document upload, and limiting who on our team can see your files. No website or email system is 100% safe, so we can’t promise that nothing will ever go wrong. If we learn of a breach that affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.

Wire fraud warning: criminals sometimes send fake emails that look like they come from agents or escrow, asking you to wire money. We will never email or text you new wiring instructions. Before you send any money, call your escrow company at a number you already know, not one in the email.

12. Your California privacy rights

If you live in California, you have rights over your personal information. You can ask us to:

Know: tell you what personal information we have about you, where we got it, why we use it, and who we share it with.
Get a copy: give you a copy of your personal information.
Delete: delete your personal information, unless the law lets or requires us to keep it (for example, real estate and loan records).
Correct: fix information that is wrong.
Opt out of selling or sharing: we already don’t sell or share it, but you can still ask.
Limit sensitive information: we only use sensitive information, like your Social Security number, to do the work you asked for.

We will not treat you differently, charge you more or give you worse service for using these rights.

How to ask: email ArtigaHomes@gmail.com or call (909) 920-0999. We will need to confirm who you are before we act, usually by matching details you’ve already given us. Someone you choose can ask for you if they have your written permission. We will answer within 45 days, and let you know if we need more time.

Shine the Light: California residents can also ask once a year whether we shared personal information with other companies for their own marketing. We don’t do that, but you can still ask using the contact info above.

13. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common standard for what it means, so our site does not change how it works when it gets one. We do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of selling or sharing, even though we don’t sell or share.

14. Children

Our website is not meant for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

15. Other websites

Our site links to other websites, like MLS listings, loan partners, maps and social media. We are not responsible for how they handle your information. Please read their privacy policies.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the “Last updated” date at the top. If we make a big change, we will post a notice on the website.
