Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily give us, such as:

• Name and email address (when you create an account or contact us)
• Messages, feedback, support inquiries, or form submissions
• Details about open houses you list or view (as a realtor or lender)
• Social media account information when you voluntarily connect your Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or YouTube accounts via OAuth

Note: You do not need to create an account to browse public open house listings.

1.2 Social Media Connections

When you connect a social media account (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or YouTube) to publish or schedule posts:

• We receive basic profile information (e.g., name, profile ID, page name) from the platform.
• We securely store access tokens (long-lived where possible) to enable posting on your behalf.
• We never post without your explicit action (e.g., "Publish Now" or scheduled post).
• We do not access or store your private messages, friends lists, or unrelated content.

1.3 Location Information

• Approximate location (city, state, or ZIP code) to show relevant local open houses.
• Precise GPS location only if you explicitly grant permission through your browser or device. You can revoke this permission at any time.

1.4 Automatically Collected Information

We automatically collect:

• IP address, device type, browser version, and operating system
• Pages visited, time spent, and interaction data
• Referral sources and usage analytics

This information is collected using cookies, server logs, and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service (including localized open house search)
• Enable lenders and realtors to create, schedule, and publish social media posts about open houses
• Process and fulfill your requests (e.g., support inquiries)
• Analyze usage trends and enhance user experience
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or technical issues
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We may share your information only in these limited cases:

• With trusted service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery) under strict confidentiality agreements
• When you explicitly authorize sharing (e.g., when you publish a post to your own social accounts)
• To comply with law, court orders, or government requests
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of OpenHouseFinder, our users, or the public
• In the event of a business transfer (merger, acquisition, or sale of assets)

We do not share your data with real estate agents, brokers, or lenders without your explicit consent or action.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and provide core functionality. We also use analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

5. Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Social media access tokens are stored securely and can be revoked by you at any time through the Social Media Connections section in your account settings.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and revoke social connections if you suspect any compromise.

7. Your Rights and Choices

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party platforms (e.g., Google Maps, social media sites). These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new Policy with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
