This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store, use and distribute personal information about users of the Open House Wizard Services. By providing Personal Information (as defined in this Privacy Policy), you consent to the use of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy (see further Consent below).

1. TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE OPEN HOUSE WIZARD SERVICES
ALL information of ANY type collected through the Open House Wizard Services is NEVER shared with any 3rd party outside of Open House Wizard itself.
Information could be collected (such as contact information etc. in order to receive more information about our Open House Wizard Services) or passively through the use of cookies, web beacons and other automated means. The information we collect falls into two main categories – Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
“Personal Information” is information which may identify a specific individual. We collect, use and disclose your Personal Information (if we have it) only as required to enable us to manage your account (if you have created one with us) and to respond to enquiries or provide feedback and for any other purposes indicated to you at the time of collection. We will only collect, use or disclose any Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, or in accordance with the laws applicable to its collection, use and disclosure (“Applicable Privacy Laws”).
“Non-Personal Information” is information of an anonymous nature, such as the domain used to access the Website, and the type and version of browser or operating system being used by visitors to the website. It includes aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors, what pages users access or visit, and average time spent using the Open House Wizard Services. Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is also considered Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is not subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy but we include information about its collection and use for transparency.
Important Note on Minors: the Open House Wizard Services are intended for prospective homeowners and persons interested in real estate listings. The Open House Wizard Services are therefore not targeted to or intended for children who are under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from or about minors who are 13 or younger and if we are informed that we have done so, we will take immediate steps to delete such information.

When you choose to provide us with your Personal Information you consent to the use of your Personal Information as identified in this Privacy Policy and as may be further identified at the time of collection. Sometimes you will be asked to give your express consent and other times you may be providing implied consent where it can reasonably be concluded that you have given consent by some action you have taken or not taken.
You may notify us at any time that you wish to withdraw or change your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information, and we will accommodate your request subject to any legal, technological or contractual restraints.
