REYW values and is committed to protecting your privacy. We handle your personal information in accordance with applicable legislation. This privacy statement applies to the information automatically collected from you as a result of your visit to our website, www.realestateyourway.com.au. REYW may update this privacy statement from time to time. Any changes to this privacy statement will be published on this website.
But for a merger, sale or change in control (as to which see clause 12 of the Terms of Service and Use), REYW does not sell, exchange, or release your personal information (name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card data, etc.) without your consent to any third parties. When we do give information to our advertisers, it is in the form of grouped statistics compiled from registration data and participants’ answers to survey questions. None of the data provided is personally identifiable. Information given by you to our linked third party referral partners when you use our calculators is governed by the privacy policy of those third parties, as further explained below.
REYW collects personally identifying information from our users upon online registration, online calculator use, surveys and third party referral links. Generally, this information includes name, e-mail address, postal address, and answers to questions. This information is used for internal marketing purposes and helps us determine how to improve the REYW service. REYW may receive a fee from your referral from the website platform to any linked third party. By making that referral you will be taken to have consented to the release and use of the information you have provided to REYW for the purpose of your referral.
