Protecting your privacy is really important to us.
Welcome! Protecting your privacy is really important to us. Accordingly, we at BrokerIDXsites, Inc. and our affiliates (together, "BrokerIDXsites, Inc." or "we" or "our" or "us") are providing this Privacy Policy to explain our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that we receive when you use or visit our websites or mobile apps ("Sites") or our products or services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy doesn't apply to any third-party websites, services or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services.
This Privacy Policy applies to everyone who uses our Services, but sometimes we direct parts of it toward particular groups of users. When we do, we use the following special terminology to refer to them:
"User" means anyone who uses our Services.
"Real Estate Professional," or "REP," A REP may be a landlord, property manager, broker or agent, home builder, mortgage professional or customer.
"Customer" means a REP who participates in our paid Services.
We Collect Some Information From All Users: As part of our Services, we use various technologies such as "session" and "persistent" cookies (small data files that we transfer to your computer), web beacons (tiny image files on web pages that communicate information about the page viewer to the beacon owner), log data, and third-party analytics services to collect and analyze information about Users. This includes things like Users' search preferences, saved searches, aspects of their use of the Services, interaction with ads served through the Service and location.
We use "session" cookies to keep you logged in while you use our Services, to better understand how you interact with our Services, and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic information on our Services. We use "persistent" cookies to recognize you each time you return to our Services for up to 30 days. For example, we create a persistent cookie that includes some basic information about you, like your most recent search. We use this persistent cookie to remember your preferences and, if you create an account, to make your user experience consistent after you register.

You can also use your browser settings or other tools to delete cookies you already have. Please be aware that some parts of our Services may not work for you if you disable cookies.
