Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information collected through our Calgary real estate listings website. We collect only what we need to provide our service and do not sell your data.

Data We Collect

• Account information: your name, email address, and phone number, collected during sign up.
• Basic log data: standard technical details sent by your browser (e.g., IP address, device type) to operate the site.
• Cookies: small files to maintain your session and improve usability. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

How We Use Data

• Create and manage your account and provide customer support.
• Send essential service messages (e.g., security, account changes). You can opt out of non‑essential communications.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website’s functionality and reliability.
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests.

Legal Bases

We rely on consent (you provide your information to sign up), performance of a contract (providing your account), and legitimate interests (ensuring site security and improving our service), as applicable.

Analytics (Future)

We may implement Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage trends. If enabled, Google Analytics may set cookies or collect device identifiers. We will update this policy and provide controls, including links to opt‑out tools such as the Google Analytics Opt‑out Browser Add‑on. Data shared with Google is subject to Google’s privacy policy.

Sharing & Transfers

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers who help us run the website (e.g., hosting, security). These providers are bound by obligations to protect your information and use it only on our behalf. If data is processed outside of Canada, it may be subject to foreign laws.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide your account and comply with legal obligations. When no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize the data.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights (Canada)

• Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: request deletion of your information where applicable.
• Consent: withdraw consent for processing where we rely on consent.

To make a request, email privacy@example.com. We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

Children’s Privacy

Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us to request deletion.

International Visitors

If you access the site from outside Canada, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in Canada (and other jurisdictions used by our service providers), where privacy laws may differ.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
