Privacy Policy

General
It is our policy that personal information, such as your name, gender, postal and e-mail address or telephone number is private and confidential. Because your privacy is important to us, we maintain this privacy policy to explain how we collect, use and disclose your personal information, including information collected from social media sites, on its websites and mobile applications (collectively, hereinafter "website" or "websites"). Personal information collected by us may be used for the following general purposes:

This website consists of, and includes links to, many websites, including: REALTOR® member and real estate Board home pages, social media sites (such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and Twitter), map sites, and, in some cases, Board listing information sites. This privacy policy applies only to those sites which display this statement. While we encourage the site operators to comply with these principles, you should carefully examine the privacy policies of sites appearing on, or linking to or from this website, which do not display this privacy policy. Personal information that you choose to provide to other websites will be subject to the privacy policies of those sites.

Storage and Deletion
We all times, adhere to applicable legal or regulatory requirement(s) concerning the storage and protection of personal information. You may delete your website account at any time. Deleting your account will result in the anonymization of your website account personal information except for audit and security purposes

The REALTOR® may use your email address and all of the information you submit in order to provide you with guidance, suggestions and service in your efforts to either sell or buy real estate.

IP Addresses

Similar to other commercial websites, our website collects information about how our website is used. Each time a user comes to the website, our web server collects the user's IP address. While BVPG cannot normally determine a user’s identity from an IP address, where you use bowvalleypropertygroup.com in association with your name or inform our support staff of your IP address you may be identifiable. At such time, we treat such information as personal information.

Cookies

Our website uses standard technology known as "cookies" including session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies temporarily keep your settings. This information is stored until your browser is closed. Persistent cookies are created for specific functions you may choose to use on the website including, but not limited to: accepting terms of use; saving searches; and saving favourites. Persistent cookies are used to improve your experience of the website and are retained from session to session. These cookies remain after the browser is closed and are stored locally on your system. We do not track such cookies on our servers, nor do we use cookies to store personal information. You may choose to delete persistent cookies after visiting the website

Surveys

While visiting our website you may be asked to participate in a survey conducted by a third party. If you are selected to participate in this survey, a persistent cookie is stored on your computer's hard drive for 60 days to preclude a new invitation during that time. All surveys are optional, and the information collected will not be associated with any personal information. Survey data is used to permit accurate analysis, produce summary reports, and monitor overall trends with our website.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web and mobile analytics tracking tool provided by Google, for audience activity, demographics reporting, and remarketing. Google Analytics information may be disclosed to REALTORS® with whom you interact with on the website. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing a browser plug-in available on Google's website.

Disclosure to Law Enforcement

We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any uses of REALTOR.ca that it, in good faith, believes to be unlawful. You agree that we may release your personal information to law enforcement agencies where we have reasonable grounds to believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of our business or any other person.
