Website Forms and Webflow

This website is built and hosted using Webflow.

When the website's contact form is used, the information you submit may be processed and stored through Webflow's form-processing infrastructure. Webflow allows website owners to view form submissions and configure email notifications when a submission is received.

For personal information collected by a Webflow customer through a Webflow-hosted website, Webflow describes the website owner as the data controller and Webflow as the processor acting on the website owner's behalf.

You can learn more about Webflow's privacy practices through Webflow's Privacy Policy.

Technical Information

Like most websites, the hosting infrastructure may receive certain technical information when you visit the site. This can include information such as your IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, referring page, and other technical information necessary to deliver, secure, and operate the website.

Analytics and Tracking

At this time, The Braat Group website does not intentionally use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, heatmaps, session recording, or similar third-party behavioral advertising or analytics tools.

If analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Braat Group does not currently intentionally place nonessential advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies through custom website code.

The website platform or services necessary to host, secure, and operate the site may use technical mechanisms required to provide their services.

If nonessential cookies or tracking technologies are introduced in the future, appropriate disclosures and consent mechanisms will be added when required.

Sharing of Information

The Braat Group does not sell your personal information.

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

• Website hosting or technology providers that process information on our behalf
• Service providers necessary to operate or secure the website
• Comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process
• Protect the rights, safety, security, or property of The Braat Group, Michelle Braat, website visitors, clients, or others

Webflow itself uses subprocessors to provide its platform and states that subprocessors handling customer or end-user personal information are limited to information reasonably necessary to provide their respective services.

We will not share information submitted through the website with unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your permission.

Real Estate Services

If you later choose to work with Michelle Braat in connection with a real estate transaction, additional information may need to be collected and shared with parties involved in providing those services.

Those parties may include lenders, attorneys, inspectors, closing professionals, service providers, cooperating real estate professionals, or others involved in a transaction.

Information collected as part of an actual brokerage relationship or real estate transaction may also be subject to additional agreements, disclosures, brokerage policies, legal requirements, and record-retention obligations beyond this website Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social media platforms, scheduling services, real estate resources, or other websites.

The Braat Group does not control the privacy practices of those third parties. When you leave this website, the privacy policy and terms of the third-party service apply.

Data Retention

Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, to respond to inquiries, or to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

Webflow provides website owners with controls for managing and deleting form submissions stored through its platform.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information.

However, no website, email transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should therefore avoid sending sensitive information through the website contact form or ordinary email.
