Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated: January 1, 2024

This website is owned and operated by Bonnie Thorlakson. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content, products, and services on this site. This Privacy Policy applies to this site only. It does not apply to other websites to which we link. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. Your use of this site signifies your assent to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information Collected

We collect two types of information: information you voluntarily provide to us (such as through contact forms or newsletter sign-ups), and information derived through automated tracking mechanisms.

Voluntary Information — We collect personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain features of the site, including submitting a contact form, requesting a mortgage consultation, or signing up for our newsletter. This may include your name, email address, and phone number.

Cookies — Our site uses cookies and other tracking technologies. Cookies enable us to serve pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether to accept them and how to remove them. Third-party services (such as Google Analytics or reCAPTCHA) may place their own cookies when you interact with this site.

2. How We Use Your Information

Bonnie Thorlakson only uses your personal information for the original purposes for which it was given. Your personal information will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without your approval at the time of collection.

Bonnie Thorlakson will not disclose, use, give, or sell any personal information to third parties for any purposes other than to suppliers and other third parties who need to know in order to deliver services on behalf of Bonnie Thorlakson, unless required to do so by law.

3. How We Protect Your Information

We are committed to protecting the information we receive from you. We take appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures we have implemented reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.

4. Third-Party Services

This site uses Google reCAPTCHA on contact forms to prevent spam. The reCAPTCHA service is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We also use Mailchimp for newsletter delivery. Subscriber data is stored and managed through Mailchimp's platform in accordance with their privacy policy.

5. Email and Opt-Out

If you receive an email from this site and would prefer not to receive such communications in the future, you may opt out by following the instructions in the email or by contacting us directly.

6. Children's Privacy

We do not solicit any personal information from children. If you are not 18 or older, you are not authorized to use this site.

7. Changes to This Policy

Bonnie Thorlakson reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion. Your continued use of this site indicates your assent to the Privacy Policy as posted.
