Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how scottbeenk.com handles information connected to website forms, lead inquiries, analytics, cookies, communications, service providers, and related site operations.

This policy explains the site's privacy practices in clear terms. Scott can answer questions about a specific inquiry, request, or communication preference.

When you submit a contact, home valuation, listing inquiry, or similar form, the website may collect information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, property address, preferred timing, buying or selling interest, inquiry source, and message.

The website may also process technical information needed to operate and protect the site, such as browser information, device information, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed, form delivery status, hosting logs, security events, and cookie or similar technology data. If optional map or place-autocomplete features are enabled, address search information may be processed by the map provider.

Submitted information may be used to respond to your inquiry, coordinate real estate services, prepare requested market or valuation information, maintain internal lead records, send service-related communications, operate and improve the website, protect against spam or misuse, comply with legal or brokerage obligations, and document consent where required.

If you consent to calls, emails, or texts, message and data rates may apply, message frequency may vary, and you may opt out by replying STOP where applicable or by using an unsubscribe link in email communications.

Information may be shared with Scott Beenk, Compass Real Estate Lake Tahoe, affiliated brokerage or transaction professionals where appropriate, and service providers that support hosting, content management, form delivery, email delivery, maps, analytics, security, customer support, and related website operations.

Information may also be disclosed when needed to comply with law, protect rights or safety, prevent fraud or misuse, complete a transaction or service you request, or with your direction or consent.

The website is not intentionally configured to sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that changes, this policy and any required opt-out mechanisms will be updated.

The website and its providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, logs, or similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand traffic, protect forms, and diagnose performance or security issues.

The guide popup uses a display-preference cookie to avoid repeating an offer during your browser session. After a successful guide request, it remembers that request for 30 days. This cookie does not identify you, grant access to a private resource, or permit analytics. Requested guide delivery, form security, resource access, and saved privacy choices operate separately from optional analytics.

We use PostHog US Cloud to measure how the site is used. Optional detailed analytics starts after you allow Analytics in Privacy choices. It records page categories, clicks, engagement, form stages, return visits, approved campaign labels, and broad device information using random browser and session identifiers. If you submit an inquiry while analytics is allowed, we can associate that browser’s journey with your inquiry in our contact system. A browser identifier is not a verified identity. Names, email addresses, phone numbers, form answers, messages, typed searches, and property addresses submitted in forms are excluded from PostHog events.

Automatic basic measurement is disabled in this release. Optional analytics stays off until you allow it, regardless of your location. Contact forms and requested resources work when you reject optional tracking.

Session replay, heatmaps, advertising destinations, and the optional Vercel analytics comparison are disabled in this release. If session replay is introduced later, it will require a separate choice and an updated notice.

PostHog AI training and features that send data to third-party AI services are disabled for our organization. Analytics is used for internal site measurement, not advertising audiences or automated housing eligibility decisions.

Use Privacy choices in the footer or corner of the page to change your choice. Reject optional turns off both basic counts and detailed tracking on this browser. Refusal does not prevent contact forms or requested resources from working. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals keep optional tracking off. Withdrawing permission stops future collection; it does not erase information already transmitted. Contact Scott to request deletion.

Saved privacy choices and browser attribution last no more than 90 days. Active browser-to-inquiry links expire within that period; expired links are removed through our retention process while business records are retained separately. PostHog event history is subject to our provider plan and deletion processes. A provider history window does not establish that all older copies have been deleted. Deletion requests cover provider records separately from local browser links. Daily summaries containing counts and page or form categories, without browser identifiers or contact details, may be retained longer to compare site performance over time. Business contact and transaction records follow the retention purposes below.

You can also use browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some features may not work as intended if cookies or scripts are disabled.

Information is retained for as long as reasonably needed for the inquiry, relationship, transaction, service request, operational record, legal obligation, or brokerage/compliance purpose for which it was collected.

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to protect information, but no website, email, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You may request access, correction, deletion, or other privacy assistance by contacting Scott Beenk using the contact information below. Requests will be reviewed and handled as required by applicable law, which may vary based on your location and the nature of the request.

California, Nevada, and other residents may have additional privacy rights where the applicable law applies. Nevada residents may submit verified requests about covered information using the contact information below. Because the site is not intentionally configured to sell or share personal information, a separate Do Not Sell or Share link is not currently presented.

The website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. Do not submit information about a child through the website.
