Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Asha Hertel Real Estate (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, and protects information submitted through this website. I take your privacy seriously and will never sell or misuse your personal information.

Information I collect

When you fill out the contact form on this website, I collect the following information that you voluntarily provide:

• Your name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Your real estate goals (buying, selling, or both)
• Your timeline and budget range
• Preferred neighborhoods or areas
• How you found this website
• Any additional details you choose to share

This website does not currently use analytics software, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking pixels. No cookies are set beyond what is technically necessary for the page to function.

How I use your information

The information you submit is used solely to respond to your real estate inquiry. Specifically, I use it to:

• Contact you about your buying or selling goals
• Schedule consultations or follow-up conversations
• Provide relevant property information or market insights

I do not use your information for automated marketing or add you to mailing lists without your consent.

How your information is shared

I will never sell your personal information to third parties. Your information may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

• Town and Mountain Realty — as my licensed brokerage, they may have access to transaction-related communications as required by North Carolina real estate law.
• Legal or regulatory requirements — if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.

Data retention

I retain your contact information for as long as necessary to fulfill your real estate inquiry and any resulting transaction, or as required by North Carolina real estate regulations (which require brokers to retain transaction records for a minimum of three years). If you would like your information deleted and no active transaction is involved, you can request this at any time (see below).

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Know what personal information I hold about you
• Request a copy of your information
• Ask me to correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information (subject to any legal retention requirements)

To exercise any of these rights, simply contact me directly using the information below.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use advertising cookies or behavioral tracking. If analytics or third-party tools are added in the future, this policy will be updated and, where required by law, a cookie consent notice will be displayed.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

External links

This website contains links to third-party sites, including Town and Mountain Realty. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

Asha Hertel and Town and Mountain Realty are committed to the Fair Housing Act. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, or any other protected class.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of this website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
