1. The personal data we will collect;
2. Use of collected data;
3. Who has access to the data collected; and
4. The rights of Site users.

This Privacy Policy applies in addition to the terms and conditions of our Site.

Consent

By using our Site users agree that they consent to:

1. The conditions set out in this Privacy Policy; and
2. The collection, use, and retention of the data listed in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Data We Collect

We only collect data that helps us achieve the purpose set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not collect any additional data beyond the data listed below without notifying you first.

Data Collected in a Non-Automatic Way

We may also collect the following data when you perform certain functions on our Site:

1. First and last name;
2. Email address; and
3. Phone number.

This data may be collected using the following methods:

1. Clients can complete a general inquiry form.
2. Referral partners can complete our Partner Referral Program sign-up form.

Along with the data listed above, the general inquiry form asks for a message about your business and what you are looking for, and the Partner Referral Program sign-up form asks for your profession.

How We Use Personal Data

Data collected on our Site will only be used for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or indicated on the relevant pages of our Site. We will not use your data beyond what we disclose in this Privacy Policy.

The data we collect when the user performs certain functions may be used for the following purposes:

1. We simply use the data to contact them as a reply.

Who We Share Personal Data With

Employees

We may disclose user data to any member of our organization who reasonably needs access to user data to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Service Providers

We use a small number of service providers to run our Site and our business. Formspree processes the forms on our Site and delivers your submissions to us by email, and our email provider stores our correspondence with you. We share personal data with these providers only so that they can provide their services to us.

Lending Partners

Adelante Group is a loan broker, not a lender. If you ask us to help you find financing, we will share the information needed to present your request with the lending partners we approach on your behalf, and only with your permission. Each lending partner handles your information under its own privacy policy.

Other Disclosures

We will not sell or share your data with other third parties, except in the following cases:

1. If the law requires it;
2. If it is required for any legal proceeding;
3. To prove or protect our legal rights; and
4. To buyers or potential buyers of this company in the event that we seek to sell the company.

If you follow hyperlinks from our Site to another Site, please note that we are not responsible for and have no control over their privacy policies and practices.

Text Messages

If you give us your mobile number, we may send you text messages about your inquiry. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts.

We do not share your mobile number or your consent to receive text messages with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third party, other than service providers that help us send our messages.

Third-Party Services, Cookies, and Do Not Track

Our Site does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking tools, and our own code does not set cookies or store information in your browser. Like most websites, though, our Site loads some of its content from other companies. When your browser requests that content, or when you send a form, the company involved automatically receives standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the page you are viewing, and the date and time. These companies are:

Formspree

Processes the forms on our Site and delivers what you submit to us.

Google Fonts

Supplies the typefaces our Site uses.

theFinancials.com

Provides the markets ticker on our homepage. To our knowledge, it does not collect personal data beyond the technical information described above. Its server sets one strictly necessary session cookie of its own when the ticker loads.

jsDelivr

Delivers a script our Site uses for smooth scrolling.

Our website hosting provider

Serves the pages of our Site and may keep short-term server logs for security and reliability.

Each of these companies handles that information under its own privacy policy. We have not added any tool that lets a third party follow your activity across other websites. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Strictly necessary cookies. Our Site uses only strictly necessary cookies: small files a website needs in order to work, for example to deliver a page or embedded content securely and reliably. They are not used for analytics, advertising, or to follow you across other websites. Our own code sets no cookies at all. Any cookie you may see comes from one of the services listed above, such as the one strictly necessary session cookie the markets ticker sets, and is used only to deliver that service’s content. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not ask for consent before they are used. If you block them in your browser, some content, such as the markets ticker, may not load. If we ever add cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will update this Privacy Policy and ask for your consent first where the law requires it.

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because our Site does not track visitors over time or across other websites, it does not respond differently to that signal.

How Long We Store Personal Data

User data will be stored until the purpose the data was collected for has been achieved.

You will be notified if your data is kept for longer than this period.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We do not collect personal data on our website other than the information you choose to send us through our forms, which are processed by our form provider, Formspree.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

Children

We do not knowingly collect or use personal data from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 years of age, the personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 13 years of age has provided us with personal data their parent or guardian may contact our privacy officer.

How to Access, Modify, Delete, or Challenge the Data Collected

If you would like to know if we have collected your personal data, how we have used your personal data, if we have disclosed your personal data and to who we disclosed your personal data, or if you would like your data to be deleted or modified in any way, please contact our privacy officer here:

Modifications

This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time in order to maintain compliance with the law and to reflect any changes to our data collection process. When we amend this Privacy Policy we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. We recommend that our users periodically review our Privacy Policy to ensure that they are notified of any updates. If necessary, we may notify users by email of changes to this Privacy Policy.
