Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. It follows British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

Who I am

This website belongs to Jacob Siemens, a licensed REALTOR® with RE/MAX Real Estate Services, 3548 West 41st Avenue,Vancouver, BC V6N 3E6. For any privacy question, emailjacob@jacobsiemens.com or call 604-720-9077.

What I collect

When you fill in a form

Your name, email and phone number, plus whatever you choose to tell me: a property address, property type, your timeline, details about an estate, or a message. If you tick the box for my monthly market update, I also record that you agreed, the wording you agreed to, and the date and time.

When you visit the site

Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page visits: which pages are viewed, the site you came from, and the type of device and browser, as totals. It uses no cookies and doesn’t identify or follow you across sites.

The site also counts a few actions: taps on my phone number, text and email links, clicks on my reviews and social links, and each step of a form. Each count records only what happened, the page, the time, and the campaign name if you arrived from one of my printed or emailed links. It doesn’t record your IP address, your device, or anything you type, and it can’t tell me who you are.

To block spam, the forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks your browser for signs of automated activity.

Why I collect it

• To reply to you and provide the real estate services you asked about.
• To keep records of client contact, as real estate rules and my brokerage require.
• To send you my monthly market update, only if you asked for it.
• To understand which pages are useful so I can improve the site (analytics only).

I don’t sell or rent your information to anyone.

Where it’s stored and who sees it

Form submissions go to my client management system and to my email. These services are provided by Supabase (database), Google (email), Cloudflare (website hosting, page visit counts and spam protection) and an email delivery service. Some of them store information in the United States, where it may be accessible to authorities under US law.

I may share your information with RE/MAX Real Estate Services where needed for brokerage and regulatory records, or if the law requires it.

Emails from me

I only send the market update to people who asked for it. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also just reply or email me to stop. If you contact me about a property, I may follow up about that inquiry.

How long I keep it

As long as I need it for the reasons above, and as long as real estate record-keeping rules require. After that it’s deleted.

Your choices

• Ask to see the personal information I hold about you, or to correct it.
• Withdraw your consent to emails at any time.
• If you’re not satisfied with my answer, you can contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia at oipc.bc.ca.

Cookies

This site doesn’t use cookies to track you, and there’s nothing to accept. While you browse, your browser keeps the campaign name from a printed or emailed link until you close the tab, so a form you send can say which mailer you came from.

Changes

If I change this policy, I’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
