Website Contact Forms
Our website uses WPForms Lite for website forms.
Information you voluntarily enter into a form may be transmitted to Bayou Wise Home Inspections by email so that we can respond to your inquiry.
At the time of this Privacy Policy, WPForms Lite entry backups are disabled on this website, and WPForms Lite is not being used to store form submissions in the site’s WordPress database.
Copies of communications received by email may nevertheless be retained in our business email account as reasonably necessary for communication and business recordkeeping.
Our website uses WP Mail SMTP Lite to help reliably deliver email generated by the website.
The version currently used by Bayou Wise Home Inspections does not use WP Mail SMTP’s Pro email-logging feature.
Emails sent to or from Bayou Wise Home Inspections may still be processed and retained through our business email provider and related email infrastructure.

Our website uses Akismet Anti-spam to help identify and prevent spam and malicious submissions.
Information submitted through portions of the website protected by Akismet may be processed as necessary to determine whether the submission appears to be spam.
Phone Calls and Text Messages
If you provide your telephone number or contact Bayou Wise Home Inspections by telephone or text message, we may use your telephone number to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you regarding an inspection or other service you requested.
We do not sell telephone numbers or use them to authorize unrelated third-party marketing.
