Privacy Policy

Effective October 28, 2026

This website, highway2realestate.com (the “site”), is operated by Josh White, a licensed real estate broker with Horizon Real Estate (“I,” “me,” “we”). This policy explains what information the site collects, how it's used, who it's shared with, and the choices you have. The short version: I use your information to respond to you and help with your real estate needs. I don't sell it.

Information you give me

When you fill out a form on the site, I receive what you enter. Depending on the form, that can include:

Your name, email address and phone number
Property details, such as an address, city, property type, parcel number, or notes about the property
What you're looking for, such as whether you're buying or selling, your timeline, and any message you write

If you only join my email list, I receive just your email address. I also receive anything you send me directly by email, phone or text.

Information collected automatically

Server logs. Like most websites, the site's hosting provider records technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, pages requested and the time of the request. These logs are used to run and secure the site.
Spam protection. Some forms use hidden fields, timing checks and request limits to block automated spam. The land offer form stores a one-way hashed version of your IP address (not the address itself) to limit repeat submissions, and may use Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks whether a visitor is a person.
Browser storage. The site stores small values in your browser's local storage, for example to remember that you've already seen a pop-up so it doesn't show again.
Analytics. I may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are viewed and how people arrive. These tools use cookies or similar technologies and collect information such as pages visited, device and browser type, and approximate location. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.

Listing search and other third-party content

Property search, listing pages, listing widgets and the listing maps on this site are provided by IDX Broker, using listing data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS). Pages at homes.highway2realestate.com are hosted by IDX Broker. If you create an account, save a search or sign up for listing alerts there, IDX Broker collects that information and handles it under its own privacy policy. Registration information collected there is also made available to me so I can follow up with you.

Some pages load content directly from other services, which then receive your IP address and basic browser information: map tiles from CARTO and OpenStreetMap, and highway camera images from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). These services have their own privacy policies.

How I use your information

To respond to your inquiry and provide the real estate services you ask about
To prepare information you request, such as a home value estimate or an offer on land
To send occasional emails about real estate along the Highway 2 corridor, if you joined my list or asked for updates
To keep the site working, secure and free of spam, and to improve it
To meet legal, licensing and brokerage recordkeeping requirements

Home value requests. When you request a home value estimate, the property details you submit are sent to an AI service (Anthropic's Claude) to produce a first draft for my review. The draft comes to me, not to you. I review it before I share any value with you.

Who I share it with

I don't sell your personal information or share it with third parties for their own marketing. I share it only:

With my brokerage, Horizon Real Estate, which supervises my real estate activity and may need access to client and transaction records.
With service providers that run the site for me, under their terms of service. They include website hosting (Vercel), the database that stores form submissions (Neon), email delivery (Resend), listing search (IDX Broker), the AI service described above (Anthropic), spam protection (Cloudflare), and analytics (Google), if enabled.
With people involved in your transaction, such as a lender, escrow or title company, inspector, or another party's broker, when you ask me to or when it's needed to carry out the transaction.
When required by law, such as to respond to a subpoena or a request from a regulator, or to protect the rights and safety of you, me or others.

Emails, calls and texts

If you give me your phone number, I may call or text you about your request. I don't send automated marketing texts. You can opt out of my emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by replying and asking. You can also ask me to stop calling or texting you at any time.

How long I keep it

I keep your information for as long as needed to respond to you and work with you, and for as long as I'm required to keep records under real estate licensing and brokerage rules. After that, I delete it or keep it in a form that no longer identifies you.

Your choices

You can ask me to show you, correct or delete the personal information I have about you. Email josh@highway2realestate.com or call or text (206) 293-8975. I may need to confirm your identity first, and I may have to keep some records when the law or brokerage rules require it.

Do Not Track. Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there's no common standard for how sites should respond, this site doesn't currently respond to it. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Third-party services described above, such as IDX Broker and analytics providers, may collect information about your activity over time and across different websites.

Security

The site uses encrypted connections (HTTPS), and form submissions are stored with service providers that protect them. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so I can't guarantee absolute security.

Children

This site is for adults looking to buy or sell real estate. It isn't directed to children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If I change this policy, I'll post the updated version on this page with a new effective date. If the change is significant, I'll also say so on the site.
