Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Territorial Scope

Welcome to bcrealestatemarket.com (the “Website” or “Platform”). We deeply value your privacy and the trust you place in us. This Privacy Policy transparently outlines our practices related to the collection, use, protection, and responsible disclosure of your personal information, ensuring your privacy rights are respected and protected.

This Platform operates strictly within Canada and is uniquely built for residents browsing or tracking properties across British Columbia. We are fully dedicated to complying with the Personal Information Protection Act(PIPA) of British Columbia, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act(PIPEDA) of Canada, and local real estate board regulatory guidelines.

By accessing, creating an account, or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and explicitly agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. For disputes specifically related to privacy concerns, we aim for amicable resolutions. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, disputes will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration in the City of Vancouver, BC, as detailed in our Terms of Use.

2. Definition of Personal Information

“Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a specific individual. It does not include anonymized, de-identified, or aggregated market data that cannot be traced back to a specific person.

3. Information We Collect

To provide a high-utility provincial property intelligence engine, we collect info through three primary pathways:

A. Information You Provide Directly: During mandatory registration to view historical market analytics, property boundaries, or sold data, you voluntarily provide your first and last name, phone number, and email address.
B. Automatically Collected Information: While you navigate the platform, our database automatically logs your IP address, browser type, device specifications, operating system, access times, page views, search history, and tracking behavior. We also utilize cookies, tracking pixels, and secure system logs to monitor system health and detect data misuse.
C. Public and Authorized Data Sources: We securely integrate public datasets, localized municipal registries, and provincial mapping systems to display property attributes.

4. How We Use Your Information

We leverage your personal information to operate your account and protect our underlying data assets through the following methods:

Providing you with uninhibited access to historical sold data, precise parcel metrics, and custom school catchment mapping.
Responding to your direct inquiries, property search requests, or technical support tickets.
Evaluating API call frequencies and user behavior to detect, prevent, and legally prosecute unauthorized commercial data scraping or systematic redistribution.
Sending you essential transactional communications, account verification updates, and periodic market updates in which you have expressed interest.
Personalizing and measuring advertising campaigns on third-party platforms (such as suppressing platform ads to users who already possess an active account, or showing relevant neighborhood trends to our active community).

5. Sharing Your Information & Real Estate Board Auditing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We will never sell or rent your personal information to anyone. Your information is only shared under the following specific parameters:

Mandatory Board Audits & Compliance: By creating an account to view protected real estate metrics or historical sold listings, you provide your explicit consent for your registration data and contact information to be shared securely with regional real estate boards (including Greater Vancouver REALTORS®, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board, and Vancouver Island Real Estate Board) and their legal representatives for auditing, monitoring, and structural enforcement of VOW rules.
Professional Transactional Facilitation: Where you explicitly request assistance, your information may be shared with your chosen real estate lawyer, mortgage professional, or our immediate advisory team to help fulfill your property transaction.
Legal Authorities: We will disclose your information where legally forced to do so by court order, provincial regulations, or to protect the safety, structural integrity, and intellectual property rights of the Platform.

6. Targeted Advertising Platforms (Matched Audiences)

We may share securely hashed (one-way SHA-256) versions of your email address or mobile phone number with third-party advertising platforms, including Google Ads (Customer Match) and Meta (Custom Audiences), for the strict purposes of:

Showing you relevant real estate updates on those platforms.
Suppressing platform ads to users who already maintain an active account on bcrealestatemarket.com
Building lookalike or similar audiences to reach prospective users who resemble our existing user base.

Our Privacy Guard: Hashing is entirely one-way; the platforms cannot recover your raw email or phone number. Furthermore, we do not purchase contact info from data brokers, nor do we ever share your name, property preferences, search history, or browsing activity with these advertising networks. You can easily opt out of hashed audience sharing at any time by contacting our support team.

7. Cookies, Pixels, and Third-Party Tracking Tools

We utilize cookies, web beacons, and advanced tracking pixels to analyze platform traffic and measure marketing performance. The third-party tools deployed on this platform include Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion tags, Microsoft Clarity, and the Meta Pixel.

These integrations may log actions you take on the platform (such as account sign-ups, leads, or completed searches), your IP address, and device parameters. You can seamlessly manage, restrict, or block cookies at any time through your individual browser settings or via AdChoices Canada.

8. Your Access to and Control Over Information

You maintain complete control over your personal data. You can perform the following actions at any time by submitting a direct request to our administration team via email or phone:

Review exactly what data our system has stored about you, if any.
Change, update, or correct any personal data we have on file.
Request the permanent deletion of your account and associated personal data (subject to real estate board regulatory data-retention audit windows).
Opt out of any future marketing contacts from us.

9. Data Security & Encryption Safeguards

We take comprehensive technical and organizational precautions to protect your information both online and offline. Wherever our platform collects sensitive personal details or access credentials, that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to our servers using industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) frameworks.

Offline, access to personally identifiable information is strictly restricted to employees or system administrators who require the data to perform a specific, authorized function (such as customer service or database auditing). The physical servers and cloud containers housing our databases are maintained in a secure, firewalled environment.

10. AI and Third-Party Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integrations

If you choose to interface with bcrealestatemarket.com through an authorized, secure AI assistant utilizing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configuration deployed explicitly by the operators of this Platform, the following strict terms apply:

Authentication Data: Upon authentication, we receive only your name and email address to authorize your access to protected data layers.
No Conversation Logging: We do not collect, log, read, or have access to your personal text conversations with the AI assistant.
No Model Training: Your data, search preferences, and credentials are never utilized to train third-party AI models.
Request Performance Metrics: We collect only anonymized, aggregate request counts and system response times to monitor system performance and safeguard our databases against commercial automated scraping.
