The Real Estate Professor
Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how startprojectx.com ("we," "us," or "the site"), operated by Mark Hasfurter, handles information when you visit the site. We keep this simple and honest, the same way we run everything else here.
Information we collect
We collect very little. The site's calculators and interactive tools run entirely in your browser — the numbers you type into a mortgage or repair calculator are not sent to us or stored on any server. When you choose to contact us, for example by clicking an email link to send a consulting inquiry, you share your email address and whatever you write in that message. That information comes to us only because you chose to send it.
Like most websites, our host and analytics tools may automatically collect standard technical information such as your browser type, device, general location, and the pages you visit. This is used to understand how the site is performing, not to identify you personally.
Cookies and advertising
The site may use cookies — small text files stored by your browser — to remember preferences and measure traffic. If and when this site displays advertising through third-party networks such as Google AdSense, those networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
How we use information
Any information you send us is used only to respond to your inquiry and provide the consulting or educational services you asked about. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.
Third-party links
This site links to other websites — a YouTube channel, external resources, and tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies when you visit them.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for adults making real estate and home decisions. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Your choices
You can browse the entire site and use every calculator without giving us any personal information. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalized advertising using the links above. If you have emailed us and would like your information removed, just ask.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
