Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Real Property Planning is an educational resource. This page explains what information this website collects, why, and what happens to it. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past — if anything here is unclear, please ask.

The short version

Real Property Planning does not sell your information or share it with anyone for their own marketing. Most visitors never give the site any personal information at all. If you fill in a form, what you send is used to reply to you.

Information you provide

Contact form. If you use the contact form, it collects your name, email address, phone number, and your message. These are sent by email to the person who will reply. The correspondence is kept as a record of what was discussed.

Testimonials. If you submit a testimonial, the site collects what you provide in that form. Submitting a testimonial does not publish it — nothing appears on the site unless it is reviewed first.

Newsletter. If you subscribe, the site collects your email address and which page you subscribed from. Subscribing requires confirming through a link sent to your email. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribe requests are acted on promptly.

Information collected automatically

Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages people find useful. It records things like which pages were viewed, roughly where in the world the visitor is, and what kind of device was used. It sets cookies in your browser to do this. It is used to improve the site, not to identify individuals.

Referrals to professionals. When you tap a featured professional's phone number, email address, or website link, the site records that a link of that kind was clicked, which professional it belonged to, and which page you were on. This is used to tell each professional how much interest their listing received. It records the click, not you — no name, no phone number, and nothing about what you go on to say to them. Links to a professional's own website also carry a tag identifying this site as the source, so they can see the referral in their own analytics.

Which pages lead somewhere. The site also records when a phone number or email link anywhere on the site is tapped, when a link to the contact page is followed, when a calculator is first used, which of the four "What brings you here today?" choices on the homepage is picked, which suggested next page or listed professional's page is opened from the "next questions", "what to read next" and "people who help with this" boxes, and when a newsletter or alert signup goes through, along with the page it happened on. This shows which guides and tools people find useful enough to act on. It records the kind of action only: never the number or address involved, anything you type into a calculator, or your email address.

Questions you ask. When you use the "Ask a question" box, the question you type (its first 100 characters, with anything that looks like an email address or phone number removed), whether the site's guides had an answer, and the page you asked from are recorded in Google Analytics. They are read to see what visitors want to know and which guides to write next. Please don't type names, health details or account numbers into the box.

Contact form. When a message you send through the contact form goes through, the site records that a message was sent, its topic (for example "buying or selling an adult family home"), which inbox it went to, and the page you were reading before you opened the form. This shows which pages people find useful enough to ask a question about. It does not record your name, email address, phone number, or anything you wrote.

Facebook advertising. Some pages of this site are advertised on Facebook. Those pages only (currently the family home planning page) use Meta's pixel, which tells Meta that someone arrived from an ad and whether they signed up, to show which ads are useful. It records the page and the fact of a signup. It does not record your email address, your answers to the questions on that page, or which other pages of this site you go on to read, and it is not used on any page about health or care. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the pixel does not load. Meta's own use of the data is covered by Meta's privacy policy.

Fonts. The typefaces on this site are served by Google Fonts. Your browser requests them from Google, which means Google receives your IP address when a page loads.

Spam prevention. The site's forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people apart from automated bots. It examines browser characteristics to make that judgement.

Video. Some pages offer videos. These are embedded through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which does not set tracking cookies unless you actually play the video.

What the site does not do

• It does not sell your personal information.
• It does not share your information with other businesses for their marketing.
• It does not use what you write in a form to target advertising to you.

Real Property Planning lists professionals as an educational resource. If you decide to contact one of them, that is your choice and you are giving your information to them directly. The site does not pass it along to them on your behalf.

Health-related information

Many people come to this site while making decisions about care for themselves or a family member. If you mention a health condition or care need in a form, it is treated as sensitive. It is used only to respond to you. It is never sold and never used for advertising. You are never required to share health details to use this site; please share only what is necessary.

Your choices

You can ask what information the site holds about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any message. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and browser-level "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals can limit analytics.

Washington residents have specific rights regarding consumer health data under state law, including the right to withdraw consent and to have such data deleted. To exercise any of these, use the contact details below.
