Information we collect

When you use our form, we collect your first name, phone number, email address, home buying timeline, and whether you consent to contact. We also collect the source page or campaign information available when you arrive. Basic site analytics may include pages visited, device or browser information, and general usage information. Please do not send Social Security numbers, bank account details, or other sensitive financial documents through this form.

How we use your information

We use your information to provide the guide you requested, respond to your request, and, with your consent, follow up about mortgage options. We also use it to operate, protect, and improve this site and meet our legal obligations.

Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help operate this site and our company, such as hosting, communications, and analytics providers, and when disclosure is required by law. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Calls, texts, and email

We contact you by call, text, or email only with the consent you give on the form. Consent is not a condition of a purchase. Reply STOP to opt out of texts or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply. You can withdraw consent at any time: reply STOP to a text, use the unsubscribe link in a marketing email, or contact us using the details above to stop calls or other messages. Opting out of marketing does not prevent communications required by law.

Your California privacy rights

Subject to applicable law and exceptions, California residents may request access to the personal information we hold, deletion of that information, correction of inaccurate information, and an opt-out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share your information for cross-context behavioral advertising, but you may still submit an opt-out request.

To make a request, email or call us and describe what you would like to access, delete, correct, or opt out of. An authorized agent may contact us on your behalf. We may need to verify your identity and the agent's authority before acting. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and explain any exception that prevents us from completing your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Retention and security

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed to handle your request, maintain our business records, and meet legal or regulatory requirements. The period may vary based on the information and our obligations. When it is no longer needed, we delete it or remove identifying details. Some information may need to be retained after a deletion request where the law permits or requires it.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including restricted access, to protect your information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Adults only

This site is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so we can address it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. The date above shows when it was last updated.
