Last updated: October 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Jude Theriot (Homes by Jude), a manufactured home sales professional based in Gonzales, Louisiana ("Jude," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects information you provide through this website (homesbyjude.com) and through our text messaging and email communications. Please read it carefully. By using this site or by submitting a form, calling, texting, or emailing us, you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

Homes by Jude is the personal sales site of Jude Theriot, who sells manufactured homes in the Gonzales, Louisiana area. It is not the official website of any home manufacturer, retailer, or lender. For questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.

Information We Collect

We only collect the information you choose to share with us. We do not buy or rent customer lists. The categories of information we may collect include:

  • Contact information you submit through a form, call, text, or email, such as your name, phone number, email address, and the city or area you're shopping in.
  • Home shopping details you share with us, such as the size and style of home you're considering, your timeline, budget range, financing situation, land status, and any notes you add to a form or message.
  • Communications between you and Jude, including the content of text messages, emails, and recorded voicemails or call notes you leave for us.
  • Financing information if you choose to apply, such as the information requested on a lender's application (typically handled directly by the lender, not by us).
  • Website usage data automatically collected by analytics tools, such as pages viewed, approximate location (city/region), device type, browser, referring site, and similar non-identifying information used to understand which pages are most helpful.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to your inquiry and help you find the right home.
  • Send you home options, floor plans, pricing, photos, and updates you ask about.
  • Walk you through financing options and connect you with a lender if you ask us to.
  • Schedule home tours, follow up after a visit, and coordinate next steps.
  • Send transactional and promotional text messages and emails you have consented to receive.
  • Improve this website and the helpfulness of our communications.
  • Comply with applicable law, recordkeeping obligations, and our internal compliance requirements.

Text Messaging (SMS / MMS) Program

When you submit a form on this site, or when you reply to a text or check a consent box agreeing to receive messages, you may receive recurring text messages from Jude Theriot (Homes by Jude) at the phone number you provided. Message frequency varies based on your conversation with us. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply HELP for assistance or reply STOP at any time to opt out of further messages. Full text messaging terms (program description, opt-out, carrier disclaimers, and frequency) are in our Terms of Service.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All categories of information described in this Privacy Policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except for messaging aggregators and providers of the text message services strictly to deliver messages you have requested.

When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We share information only in the limited situations described below:

  • Service providers who help us operate this site, send communications, host data, or deliver text messages and emails on our behalf. These providers are only permitted to use the information to perform services for us and are required to keep it confidential.
  • Lenders you ask us to connect you with if you choose to apply for financing. They handle your application under their own privacy policies.
  • The home manufacturer and the retail sales center handling your purchase, only to the extent needed to process a purchase order, arrange delivery, or honor a warranty you requested.
  • Legal and safety, when required by law, court order, valid legal process, or to protect rights, safety, or property.

As stated above, text messaging originator opt-in data and consent is never shared with any third party other than the messaging aggregator and providers strictly used to deliver messages you requested.

Cookies & Analytics

This site may use basic cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand which pages visitors find most useful and to improve the site. These tools collect non-identifying technical data such as page views, time on page, device type, and approximate location. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, but some preferences may not be remembered. Analytics data is not used to identify you personally and is not shared for third-party marketing.

Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as we need it to help you with your home purchase, to comply with our recordkeeping and tax obligations, and to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adults shopping for a home. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
