REALPRO is committed to sharing information only when needed for a legitimate business or legal purpose, and then only with recipients who will protect it.

Other information you ask us to share: We share information when you ask us to share it.

Similarly, when you ask us to share your information, including personal account information, to that third party in order to provide the service you requested. Likewise, when you decide to message or post a note to an advertiser or User on the REALPRO Platform, we will share your message or note as directed. In addition, all such shared information is subject to our Rules of Conduct on the REALPRO Terms of Service.
When REALPRO contracts with a service provider to help operate certain REALPRO Services, we may give them access to certain information to provide that service and/or to make that service more seamless for you. These providers have limited access to your personal information to perform specific tasks on our behalf, and are contractually bound to protect your personal information and only use personal information in accordance with our instructions.

Compliance, Preventing Harm, and Protecting Our Rights: We do not share personal information that directly identifies you (such as your name, email, or home address) with third parties for their own use without your consent, unless it is either required by law or we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our rights, comply with our legal obligations, or to protect our consumers or third parties.
Aggregate Data: We may also share anonymous or aggregated information (information about our users that we combine together so that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other anonymized information for regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business purposes.
Third-Party Integration and Advertising: When third-party technologies or social tools are integrated into our REALPRO Platform, those third parties may collect information when you use our REALPRO Platform. That information will be associated with your browser or device in order to serve more relevant ads on our Site or others. In addition, we may pass aggregate information on the usage of our Site to third parties, but this will not include information that can be used to identify you. We do not control or supervise how these third parties process your Personal Information and disclaim responsibility or liability for their activities. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Merger or Acquisition: In the event of a reorganization, divestiture, merger, sale, or bankruptcy, we may transfer all information we collect to the relevant third party and will obtain your consent to do so if required by law.
Some of this information may be shared with other Members. For example, all messages and Member Content you share in a meeting or video conference, including Personal Information about you or others, will be available to all other participants in that meeting.

Data Deletion. In general, we retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide you services, create and improve our REALPRO Platform, comply with the law, and to run our business. In certain jurisdictions, applicable law may also entitle you to request to have all your personal information deleted entirely. Please note that if you request the deletion of your personal information, REALPRO may retain information needed to complete our contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, enforce our user agreements, protect our legal rights, and comply with technical and legal requirements and constraints related to the security, integrity, and operation of our REALPRO Platform.
Withdrawing Consent. If we are processing your personal information based on your consent you may withdraw that consent at any time by changing your Account settings or by sending a communication to REALPRO specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.
California Privacy Rights. California law permits Consumers who are California residents to:
Third-party sharing for their direct marketing: Obtain a list of third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for the direct marketing purposes of those third parties, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those third parties. This request may be made once a year and is free of charge. Please note that REALPRO does not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your prior consent. Accordingly, you can prevent disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes by withholding consent.
Access to personal information. To obtain a report of the specific pieces and categories of personal information that REALPRO has collected about the Consumer, the categories of sources for that information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting the information, the categories of third parties with which the information was shared, and to request the deletion of that information under certain circumstances.
To make a request as set forth in the above sections, please contact support@joinrealpro.com .Please note that you must verify your identity and request before further action is taken. As a part of this process, government identification may be required. Consistent with California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide a valid power of attorney, the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government-issued identification. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this email address.
No Sale of Personal Information.
We do not allow marketing companies, advertisers, or anyone else to access Personal Information in exchange for payment. Except as described above, we do not allow any third parties access to any Personal Information we collect in the course of providing services to Members. We do not allow third parties to use any Personal Information obtained from us for their own purposes, unless it is with your consent (e.g. when you access a third-party integration).
REALPRO uses certain standard advertising tools that require Personal Information (think, for example, Google Ads and Google Analytics). We use these tools to help us improve your advertising experience (such as serving advertisements on our behalf across the Internet, serving personalized ads on our website, and providing analytics services). Sharing Personal Information with the third-party provider while using these tools may fall within the extremely broad definition of the “sale” of Personal Information under certain state laws because those companies might use Personal Information for their own business purposes, as well as REALPRO’s purposes. For example, Google may use this data to improve its advertising services for all companies who use their services. (It is important to note advertising programs have historically operated in this manner. It is only with the recent developments in data privacy laws that such activities fall within the definition of a “sale”).
5. Security
REALPRO is committed to protecting the Personal Information you share with us. We utilize a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We are also continuously implementing and updating administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help further protect your Personal Information. We recommend you take every precaution in protecting your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser. If you know or have reason to believe that your REALPRO Account credentials have been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your REALPRO Account, please contact us at support@joinrealpro.com
