Our Promise to You (aka Why We Collect Your Info)
Hey there, friend! At DebSpence.com, we’re all about empowering you to become the hero of your real estate and business journey. Part of that mission means we sometimes gather information to improve your experience—things like your name, email address, or how you navigate around the site. We’ve got big dreams for you, and that means we want to make sure you have the smoothest, most personalized path to success.
The Hero’s Journey
Think of yourself as the hero. You come to DebSpence.com, searching for resources, training, or tips to level-up your real estate or small business game. We’re just the guide, offering you the right tools at the right time. But to do that effectively, we occasionally need some data from you. So we ask that you trust us with that info, and in return, we promise we’ll treat it with the respect it deserves.
Data We Collect
- Personal Info You Provide
When you sign up for any of our courses, newsletters, or contact us through forms, you might share details like your name, email address, phone number, or other relevant bits of data. We collect it because it helps us tailor our services to you—simple as that. - Automatic Info
When you browse our site, we might collect some data automatically, like your IP address, which pages you viewed, how long you stayed, or which links you clicked. This is pretty standard stuff used by most websites to improve design, content, and user experience. We do it to understand what’s working and where we can fine-tune. - Cookies
No, not the freshly baked kind (I wish!). These cookies are small text files that let our site recognize you when you come back and keep track of your preferences—like your login info or items in your cart. We use cookies to make the site smoother to use and to deliver content that matters to you. You can always disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer, but some parts of the site might not work as intended if you do.

Protecting Your Data
