Your information, handled plainly.

Information we collect

When you use a form on this site, we collect the information you choose to provide. The contact form collects your name, phone number, email address, the audience category you select, and the message you send. The confidential short-sale review form collects your name, mobile phone number, email, property address, city, ZIP code, preferred contact method, best time to contact, and the optional property and urgency details you choose to share, such as mortgage-payment status, Notice of Default status, any trustee-sale date, listing and representation status, approximate amounts owed and property value, number of liens, occupancy, and a hardship description. The real estate professional assistance form collects agent name, brokerage, California DRE number, telephone, email, property city, listing status, seller-authorization confirmation, Notice of Default status, trustee-sale date, and the assistance you describe.

The review and assistance forms are designed to collect only what is needed to evaluate a situation. They do not request Social Security numbers, dates of birth, complete mortgage-account numbers, bank-account information, tax returns, bank statements, passwords, or full credit-card information, and we ask that you not send those through any form on this site.

How form submissions are stored

Every form submission is transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and stored in the team's lead management system, which operates under restricted administrative access. The system records the date and time of each submission and, when available, the page where the form was submitted and any campaign or UTM parameters attached to the visit. Submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to the request, serve the transaction or support relationship, and satisfy any legal or record-keeping obligation.

Cookies and automatic data

This website uses Google Analytics (GA4, measurement ID G-0X820LVJ1R) to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect aggregated information such as the pages you visit, time on site, device and browser type, and general geographic region. This information is used to improve the site and measure its content. Google Analytics processes this data under Google's own privacy policies. Like most hosted websites, we may also rely on standard server logs and hosting infrastructure that record basic technical data for security, operation, and troubleshooting. We do not use advertising pixels or targeted advertising cookies at this time. If we add cookies, analytics, or advertising technologies in the future, we will update this policy to describe them before they go live.

Email communication

When you provide an email address, the team may use it to respond to your request, send follow-up information about your inquiry, and, with your consent as expressed on the form, communicate about your short-sale question by email. You can ask us to stop emailing you at any time by replying to the message or contacting gary95624@gmail.com. Form information is shared with the team's lead system and email service providers only as needed to receive and respond to requests.

Text messaging and consent

The confidential short-sale review form includes a separate, optional consent to receive calls and text messages from The Gary Lee Team concerning your request for short-sale information. This consent is not bundled into the general form submission, and checking it is not required to submit the form or receive services. When you provide that separate consent, the team may call or text the mobile number you provided about your short-sale request. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out of text messages at any time or reply HELP for assistance. Without that separate consent, we will not send text messages about your request.

How we use it

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, to understand your situation well enough to reply usefully, to move a short-sale review or transaction-support request forward, and, with your consent, to connect you with an appropriate licensed real estate professional where that is what you asked for. We do not use it for unrelated marketing without your consent.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with the licensed professionals and service providers needed to act on your request, including, where you ask to be connected, an appropriate local real estate professional. Inquiries submitted through our forms are transmitted to our lead-management service provider so the team can receive, store, and respond to them; that provider processes the information under our direction. We may also share information where required by law.

Sensitive financial information

Please do not send bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, full pay stubs, tax returns, or other sensitive financial information through any website form. Share the general shape of your situation first. Any detailed documents should be exchanged only through a secure channel with the appropriate licensed professional after you have spoken with the team. The forms on this site never ask for that level of detail, and the short-sale review confirmation page does not ask you to email sensitive documents.

Security and retention

We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information you share, including encrypted transmission, restricted access to the lead system, and secure retention and deletion procedures. We retain inquiry information only as long as needed to respond and to satisfy any legal or record-keeping obligation.

Your privacy choices and rights

You may choose what you share with us: the forms are optional, and you can reach the team by phone instead. You may also withdraw consent for text messaging at any time by replying STOP. Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to ask how it was used. To exercise a choice or ask a question about your information, contact us at gary95624@gmail.com or 916-595-4279, and we will respond as applicable law allows.

Third-party sites

This site links to third-party websites, including the sister brand SacramentoShortSale.com and the social and professional profiles of The Gary Lee Team. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, the last updated date above will change. Please review it periodically.
