Privacy Policy, Terms of Use & Disclosures

Overview and Acceptance

Welcome to JScottDigital.com. This Privacy Policy, Terms of Use & Disclosures applies when you access or use this website, read articles, review service information, subscribe to emails, submit a form, click a link, view client or publication profiles, access books or resources, inquire about advertising or partnerships, or otherwise interact with the site.

For purposes of this page, “JScottDigital.com,” “J. Scott Digital,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to JScottDigital.com and J. Scott Digital LLC, as applicable.

By using this website, you agree to the Terms of Use and disclosures contained on this page. If you do not agree with those terms, you should discontinue use of the website.

The privacy provisions describe our information practices regardless of whether your jurisdiction treats them as contractual terms.

General Informational and Educational Purpose

Website content reflects the research, opinions, experience, editorial judgment, and general educational perspective of J. Scott Digital, its founder, authors, contributors, and applicable third-party sources.

We do not know your personal circumstances, business structure, property, market, jurisdiction, financial condition, tax position, insurance coverage, financing terms, investment objectives, risk tolerance, contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, or other facts that may affect a decision.

You should not treat website content, books, articles, newsletters, interviews, market commentary, mentoring descriptions, company profiles, links, or resources as advice for your specific circumstances.

Before acting on information involving real estate, business, finance, tax, law, investments, securities, insurance, construction, lending, appraisal, property management, advertising, or data privacy, you should perform independent due diligence and consult appropriately qualified professionals.

No Professional, Fiduciary, or Client Relationship

Visiting this website, reading content, subscribing to the newsletter, submitting a form, purchasing a third-party product, requesting information, reviewing mentoring topics, or proposing a project or partnership does not create a professional-client, consulting, fiduciary, agency, brokerage, advisory, partnership, joint-venture, lender-borrower, attorney-client, accountant-client, or other formal relationship.

J. Scott Digital does not represent you, your organization, your property, your investors, your customers, your tenants, your transaction, or your proposed project unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

Services, Mentoring, and Results

Content, Editorial, and Publishing Services

Service descriptions are provided to explain general capabilities. They do not constitute a binding offer, guaranteed scope, fixed price, commitment to accept an assignment, or promise that a particular service will be available.

Website, content, editorial, research, and digital publishing outcomes depend on factors that may include the client’s objectives, source material, review process, technical environment, market conditions, competition, budget, timing, implementation, platform changes, search-engine decisions, and third-party services.

We do not guarantee search rankings, traffic, leads, subscribers, sales, conversions, revenue, publicity, approval by regulators, acceptance by third-party platforms, or any other business result.

Macro-Level Real Estate Mentoring

Mentoring is educational and strategic in nature. It may include general discussion of property management, residential or commercial real estate, asset classes, market cycles, risk, portfolios, investment frameworks, international considerations, or digital publishing strategy.

Mentoring does not include brokerage representation, individualized investment advice, securities advice, legal or tax advice, lending commitments, formal valuation, appraisal, construction management, local regulatory advice, or a recommendation to purchase, sell, finance, or invest in a specific asset.

No outcome, return, transaction, financing approval, property performance, business result, or investment result is guaranteed.

Articles, Research, Client References, and Trademarks

Articles and Insights

Articles, reports, rankings, comparisons, market commentary, company descriptions, and other research-based materials reflect information and editorial judgment available at the time of publication or update.

Companies, services, markets, prices, products, laws, regulations, software features, financial conditions, and public information may change without notice. Older content may no longer reflect current circumstances.

Research and commentary should be treated as a starting point for independent evaluation rather than a guarantee, recommendation, or instruction to take a particular action.

Selected Work and Client Experience

Company names included on the Selected Work page or elsewhere on the website are presented to identify selected past client or professional experience.

Inclusion does not imply a current engagement, endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, approval of this website, or authorization of every statement made about the company.

Client, platform, publication, product, and company names, trademarks, logos, and service marks belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not transfer ownership or imply affiliation beyond the relationship expressly described.

Media Network, Affiliated Websites, and Books

J. Scott Digital owns or operates specialized real estate publications, including BasicPropertyManagement.com, ForeclosureFlips.com, and BRRRRandMore.com.

Each publication maintains its own content, features, newsletter, tools, commercial relationships, and applicable privacy policy and terms. Visiting an affiliated website is subject to the policies displayed on that website.

A link between JScottDigital.com and an affiliated publication does not mean that every statement, tool, service, disclosure, or feature available on one site applies to every other site.

Books, Guides, and Digital Resources

JScottDigital.com may describe or link to books, eBooks, audiobooks, guides, bundles, or other digital resources. These materials are educational and do not guarantee any business, property-management, investment, financial, or professional result.

Purchases may be completed through Payhip or another third-party storefront. Product delivery, payment processing, taxes, checkout terms, refund conditions, and customer information may be handled by the applicable provider.

Unless otherwise stated, purchased digital products are licensed for the buyer’s personal or internal business use. They may not be resold, redistributed, uploaded, published, shared, sublicensed, or commercially exploited without written permission.

Advertising, Sponsorships, Affiliates, and Commercial Relationships

JScottDigital.com, affiliated publications, newsletters, pages, emails, buttons, banners, resource sections, or articles may include advertising, sponsorships, paid placements, affiliate links, referral links, or other commercial relationships.

If you click an affiliate or referral link and purchase a product, request information, begin a trial, subscribe to a service, or complete another qualifying action, J. Scott Digital or an affiliated publication may receive compensation. This compensation generally does not increase the price you pay.

Material commercial relationships will be disclosed where appropriate. Sponsored content and paid placements may be identified using labels such as “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” “Paid Placement,” “Partner Content,” or similar language.

Compensation does not guarantee a favorable review, ranking, recommendation, editorial mention, or conclusion. Advertising relationships do not provide control over independent editorial decisions unless the material is expressly identified as sponsored or advertiser-provided content.

You are responsible for independently evaluating every advertiser, sponsor, affiliate partner, software provider, lender, insurer, marketplace, platform, product, and service before using it.

Strategic Partnership and Investment Disclosures

J. Scott Digital may invite inquiries concerning digital assets, publishing relationships, website acquisitions, content libraries, joint ventures, technology or data integrations, audience development, and selected private real estate relationships.

Website descriptions of possible relationships are exploratory only. They do not constitute an offer, commitment, solicitation, term sheet, partnership agreement, joint venture, financing commitment, or agreement to purchase, sell, finance, or invest in any asset.

A submitted proposal may be declined at any time and should not be considered accepted unless documented in a fully executed written agreement.

We do not knowingly sell personal information in exchange for money. Depending on applicable law and the configuration of analytics, advertising, referral, or embedded technologies, certain disclosures may be characterized as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a similar regulated activity.

Where applicable, you may contact us to request an available opt-out or exercise another privacy right.

Newsletter, Email Communications, and MailPoet

J. Scott Digital may offer newsletters, article updates, publishing insights, service information, media-network news, promotional messages, sponsored content, affiliate-related information, and other business communications.

MailPoet and related email-delivery providers may process subscriber information, maintain mailing lists, deliver messages, process unsubscribe requests, maintain suppression records, and measure delivery, opens, clicks, bounces, and complaints.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing messages may not prevent transactional, administrative, customer-service, contract, security, or legally required communications.

Cookies, Analytics, Logs, and Embedded Content

The website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, analytics tools, security tools, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand general traffic patterns, evaluate content, improve performance, and protect against abuse.

Some technologies may be necessary for website functionality, form delivery, security, spam prevention, consent management, or accessibility. Other technologies may measure page views, referral sources, device types, approximate location, email interactions, or general visitor behavior.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through website consent controls. Blocking cookies may affect forms, embedded content, preferences, analytics, or other site functions.

Embedded Content

Pages may contain embedded videos, forms, maps, images, feeds, documents, social posts, widgets, or other content supplied by third parties.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. The provider may collect information, set cookies, associate activity with an account, or monitor your interaction under its own policies.

Contact Forms, Proposals, and User Submissions

If you submit a contact form, project inquiry, mentoring request, advertising inquiry, partnership proposal, media request, email, linked document, or other information, we may use the submission to review, respond to, evaluate, manage, accept, decline, or otherwise process the inquiry.

Submission does not guarantee a response, meeting, project, engagement, advertising placement, publication, partnership, investment discussion, or other business relationship.

Unless a separate confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement is already in effect, submitting information does not create a duty to treat unsolicited ideas, proposals, business concepts, or supporting materials as confidential or proprietary.

You represent that you have the right to submit any information, documents, links, logos, images, or other materials included in your inquiry.

Third-Party Websites, Platforms, and Service Providers

The website may link to or reference third-party storefronts, payment processors, professional marketplaces, software companies, media platforms, data providers, advertisers, sponsors, affiliate partners, publishers, service providers, and other external resources.

We do not control third-party content, availability, security, cookies, privacy practices, terms, prices, claims, subscriptions, cancellation procedures, refund policies, or business conduct.

Your use of an external site is governed by that provider’s policies and agreements. Review the applicable terms and privacy information before providing personal information, submitting payment details, beginning a trial, making a purchase, or relying on the service.

Commonly Referenced Providers

Third-party policies can change without notice. Links are provided for convenience and may redirect to updated regional or service-specific policies.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described on this page, including responding to inquiries, managing subscriptions, administering projects or transactions, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, preventing abuse, complying with legal obligations, and enforcing our rights.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect the website and information we process. These may include encrypted transmission, secure hosting, access controls, software updates, backups, firewall tools, spam prevention, security plugins, and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Accuracy, No Warranty, and Limitation of Liability

Accuracy and Availability

We aim to provide useful and accurate information, but we do not guarantee that any article, service description, company profile, book description, newsletter, link, third-party resource, market statement, client reference, website feature, or other material is complete, current, accurate, error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or suitable for your circumstances.

We may revise, remove, update, reorganize, suspend, or discontinue any content, service description, page, link, newsletter, opportunity, feature, or website function at any time without notice.

No Warranty

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, LINKS, RESOURCES, AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, J. Scott Digital disclaims warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, security, uninterrupted availability, and freedom from harmful components.
