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

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.
