Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 5, 2026

Overview

We respect your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

This website is intended for users in Canada. If you are accessing from another region, your local privacy rules may also apply.

What we collect

Information you provide

  • Contact information such as your name, email address, and phone number (when you submit a form).
  • Details you enter into forms, including preferred areas, budget, home type, and your notes.
  • Messages you send through the website.

Information collected automatically

  • IP address and basic device information (for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting).
  • Browser type, pages visited, and approximate usage patterns (via analytics tools, if enabled).
  • Cookies or similar technologies that help the site function and remember preferences.

How we use your information

  • To respond to your requests and messages.
  • To send you listings and updates you asked for.
  • To improve website performance, content, and user experience.
  • To protect the website from spam, fraud, and abuse.
  • To comply with legal requirements when necessary.

Cookies and analytics

This site may use cookies and analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve performance. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

If analytics is enabled, it is used in aggregate to understand traffic and content performance. It is not used to sell personal information.

Forms, email delivery, and IP logging

When you submit a form, the information is sent to us by email and may also be stored temporarily for error handling or spam prevention. For security, we include basic submission details such as your IP address and user agent in the message we receive.

  • We use CSRF tokens and anti spam checks to reduce automated abuse.
  • We may use rate limiting to prevent repeated automated submissions.
  • We do not intentionally collect sensitive information. Please do not submit sensitive personal details.

MyRealPage IDX and VOW services

This website may display MLS listing information using MyRealPage IDX and VOW tools. Those embedded tools may load content from third party servers and may use cookies or similar technologies to function.

Your interaction with IDX or VOW features may be governed by the provider’s terms and privacy practices, in addition to this policy.

Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in limited cases:

  • With service providers who help operate the site or deliver services (such as hosting or email delivery), only as needed.
  • If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
  • To protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the website.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed to respond to your request, provide services you asked for, and meet record keeping or legal obligations. If you want your information removed, contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to comply, subject to any legal requirements.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, including secure form handling, validation, and abuse prevention. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

  • You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
  • You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information.
  • You can opt out of non essential communications by telling us in your message or by contacting us directly.
