This policy explains what information ChicagoFirstTimeHomeBuyer.com collects, how we use it and the choices you have. The site is run by licensed real estate brokers sponsored by Baird & Warner, 2526 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614.
What we collect
- What you type into our forms: your name, email address, phone number (optional), when you hope to buy, what you would like help with and any message you write.
- Where the request came from: the page you were on, the page that linked you to our site and any campaign tag in the link, so we know which guides are useful.
- Basic technical data: our web host keeps standard server logs, and the site briefly uses your internet address to limit spam submissions. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
How we use it
- To answer your question and connect you with a licensed Chicago broker.
- To email you the buyer checklist when you ask for it, and to follow up about your home search.
- To call or text you only if you check the box giving us permission. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help. Giving permission is never required to get help from us.
Who we share it with
We share your information only with the brokers who work on this site and their brokerage, Baird & Warner, and with the service providers that run the site and deliver email for us. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share your phone number or text-message consent with third parties for their marketing.
How long we keep it
We keep your request for as long as we are helping you and for a reasonable time afterward for our records. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Your choices
To see, correct or delete the information you sent us, or to stop hearing from us, email joe.bjorklund@bairdwarner.com or call (360) 977-2888. Reply STOP to any text message to stop texts.
