When you use Services (including our website and mobile apps) on this website and any
subdomains of this website (collectively, the "Website") to find, buy, rent, or sell real estate
or connect with mortgage lenders or other real estate professionals, you are providing us
with your data. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and who we
share it with, along with the rights and choices you may have with respect to your
information. This policy applies to any of our websites or apps that link to this Privacy
Policy.

Personal Information and how to exercise your rights.
Terms of Service
This Privacy Policy is governed by the Terms of Service, which includes all disclaimers of
warranties and limitations of liabilities. All terms not defined separately in this Privacy
Policy shall maintain the definition given to them in the Terms of Service.
To review other applicable terms and conditions that apply to this Privacy Policy, including,
without limitation, intellectual property rights, representations and warranties, disclaimer
of warranties, limitation of liability and resolving disputes, please review the Terms of
Service.
Information Collected
When you use our Services, we collect a variety of information from and about you and your
device(s). Some of this information identifies you directly (such as your name or email
address), while some of it is associated with you through your account, profile, or device
(like the homes you choose to save or your location data).
When you use aspects of our Services (such as creating an account), we may ask you for
information about yourself, such as your name, email address, and phone number. If you
use any mortgage tools included on our websites or apps, we might ask you for more
sensitive information, such as your income and credit score. Additionally, if you voluntarily
contribute any information, such as agent reviews or any comments you provide on a
"request information" form, we'll store that data as well. The sections below more fully
describe what information we collect in connection with your use of our different Services.
You may also provide information about other people through our Services. For example, if
you share a home listing with someone, we may collect that person's email address as part
of your account information.
Information You Provide
Home Search: We may provide several tools to help you find a home to buy or rent. If you
provide any search criteria when using our home search tools, such as the type of home or
number of bedrooms, we save that information so that we can tailor your search results to
what you're looking for.
We also help you connect with local real estate agents, property managers, mortgage loan
officers, and other real estate professionals. If you choose to contact one of these
individuals through our platform, we may ask for your name, email address, and phone
number so that we can reach you and connect you with the right person.
Information We Collect Automatically
In addition to the information you give us directly, we collect certain information
automatically as you use our services.
• Activity Information: We collect information about how you use our websites and
mobile apps, such as your home search history, homes you view, what you’ve
clicked on and other uses of our features, and the amount of time you spend looking
at different parts of our websites.
• Device Information: We collect data about the browsers and devices you use to
access our websites and apps. The data we collect includes browser or device
model and settings, operating system, unique identifiers (including device ID), and
the version of the app you’re using.
o We also collect data about how your browsers and devices interact with our
services, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date
and time. You can control our collection of certain data, such as your mobile
device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the
privacy and security settings on your mobile device.
• Location Information: If you enable location services on your mobile device, we may
collect the location of your device. We use your location to provide you with
location-based information, like homes and real estate professionals in your area,
and to offer location-based services. If you don’t want to use these features, you
can turn off location services on your device.
o We also collect location information for similar purposes from your browser.
You can disable browser location services through your browser settings.

cookies or similar tools. For further information about how we use cookies, please

• Ads: We use the remarketing services to advertise on third party websites (including
Google, Facebook, and others) to previous visitors to our website. It could mean
that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our website
(such as using the contact form to make an inquiry). This could be in the form of an
advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display
Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on
someone’s past visits to a website. Any data collected will be used in accordance
with this privacy policy and the third-party vendor’s privacy policy. You can set

interest-based advertising entirely by cookie settings or permanently using a
browser plugin.

Privacy Policy - the basics
Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
What to include in the Privacy Policy
Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.
