Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Find BAComps, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and disclose your information when you access or use our website, products, and services. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to the terms described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information from and about you:

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, phone number, brokerage affiliation, and real estate license details.
• Listing Data: Information you submit regarding property listings, buyer agent compensation offers, and transaction details.
• Usage Data & Device Information: We automatically collect information about your interactions with the platform, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, search queries, and timestamps.
• Location Information: We may collect general location data (like ZIP code or city) based on your IP address to deliver localized search results.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to analyze trends, administer the site, and track user movements around the site.

3. Find BAComps Browser Extension

To provide contextually relevant real estate compensation data, we also offer a downloadable browser extension. Here is how it interacts with your browsing session:

• Data Identification: The extension operates by visually scanning the text content of web pages you visit exclusively to identify physical real estate property addresses using algorithmic pattern matching.
• Data Transmission & Usage: When a property address is identified, that specific, publicly available text string is securely transmitted to our backend servers to retrieve and display specific compensation data on your screen.
• Anonymity & Security: We do not log, track, or record your browsing history. We do not extract, store, or transmit personal data, passwords, session cookies, or identifiers from the third-party sites you browse. Extracted address data is strictly used for contextual lookups and is not sold, profiled, or used for third-party advertising.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our platform and services.
• Facilitate the posting, sharing, and discovery of buyer agent compensation offers.
• Personalize your experience and deliver relevant content, including localized search results.
• Communicate with you regarding account updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.
• Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our platform.
• Prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information under the following circumstances:

• With Other Users: When you post a listing or compensation offer, this information (including your name and brokerage) is publicly accessible to other users of the platform to facilitate transactions.
• With Service Providers: We employ third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data analysis, and email delivery. These providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf.
• For Legal Purposes: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of Find BAComps, our users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition, your information may be disclosed or transferred as part of the transaction.

6. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (such as residents of California or other jurisdictions with specific privacy laws), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and Portability: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction and Deletion: You can edit your account information at any time, or request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Communication Preferences: You may opt out of receiving promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in those emails. You will still receive essential account-related communications.
• Cookies: You can usually instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Links

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., MLS portals, brokerage websites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
