Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 8, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Montana Land Source LLC (“Montana Land Source,” “MTLS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our websites, web applications, subscription services, property information services, email newsletters, communications, and related online services (collectively, the “Services”).
Montana Land Source provides rural land market information, property listing information, land sales information, maps, market reports, and related data services. Much of the land, parcel, listing, sales, brokerage, and market information displayed through the Services may come from public records, public websites, broker-published information, listing sources, third-party data sources, or other market sources. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect from users, customers, subscribers, website visitors, email recipients, and business contacts. It does not make private or confidential any information that is lawfully obtained from public records, public sources, broker publications, or other publicly available land market sources.
By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Our current payment processor is expected to be Stripe for the new website. If legacy payment records or older transactions were processed through another provider, such as Authorize.net, those records may be retained as needed for accounting, tax, legal, customer service, or business purposes.

If you subscribe to the Montana Land Report or other email communications, we may collect and process information such as your email address, subscription status, delivery activity, opens, clicks, unsubscribe requests, and related email engagement data.
Property, land, brokerage, and market data
The Services may include information about land listings, sales, parcels, maps, brokers, agents, brokerages, property attributes, ownership or parcel records, public records, and other land market information. This information may be collected from public records, public websites, broker or brokerage publications, listing sources, customer submissions, third-party providers, and other market sources.
Some property-related information may identify individuals or businesses.

We may share information when you direct us to do so or give us consent.
4. Sale, Sharing, Targeted Advertising, and Profiling
We do not sell personal information for money.
Depending on the analytics, advertising, or marketing technologies used on the Services, certain disclosures of website, device, cookie, or usage information may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws, even if no money is exchanged.
Where required by applicable law, users may opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
At this time, Montana Land Source does not intend to use personal information for automated profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning users.

Some browsers or devices may offer privacy controls, including global privacy signals. Where required by applicable law and technically feasible, we will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals.
Payment information
Payment method updates, cancellations, or billing changes may be handled through account settings, customer support, or the applicable payment processor, depending on the payment system in use.
