DOSS PRIVACY POLICY
When you login and use AskDOSS or contact us in any way to find, buy, rent, or sell your home, apartment, or vacation property, connect to a real estate broker or agent, get a mortgage prequalification or apply for a mortgage, arrange for utilities, home security, or any of the many services provided by DOSS or the companies we've affiliated with, you're trusting us with your data. We have a responsibility to respect your privacy, and we work hard to do that. This policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, who we share it with, and how we protect it, along with the tools you can use to manage your privacy.

Introduction
DOSS and its subsidiaries and affiliates offer a wide range of services to help people through the entire home and other residential property life cycle: renting, buying, selling, financing, title services, home security, home repairs and improvement, and other related services.

Everyone's journey through home ownership and rental is different. Deciding on the right place to call home or go on vacation is an intimate, personal experience. Along with a wealth of information about homes, neighborhoods, market conditions, local real estate professionals, and financing options, we also use the information you give us to provide our services and help you find your next home more efficiently and easily than ever before.

We carefully evaluate how we use data to make sure that we're using your information to provide value for you. On this page, we aim to explain everything you need to know about your privacy at DOSS. If you have any questions that we haven't answered here, you can always contact us at privacy@askdoss.com.

When you use our services, whether through our app, our website, or any other way, we collect a variety of information from and about you and your devices. Some of this information identifies you directly (like an email address) while some of it is associated with you through your account, profile, or device (like the homes you choose to save or your location data).

The kind of data we collect about you depends on how you use DOSS. If you only use our services to search for homes, we'll have less information about you than if we help you sell your home, get a mortgage, sign your lease, or if you use any of our other transaction services. Even if you don't have an account with us, we may still collect some data about you, like your email address and phone number if you choose to contact a real estate agent through our platform, or your IP address and other device information when you browse our sites or use our apps.

When you use our services, we often ask you for information about yourself. This usually includes basic things like your name, email address, and phone number. If you use our transaction services, we might ask you for more sensitive data like your income, housing history, and credit score. If you contribute information, such as agent reviews, we'll store that as well. You may also provide information about other people through our services. For example, if you share a home listing with someone, we will collect that person's email address as part of your account information.

Using our services also involves using your voice. Our app records and sends audio to the cloud when you interact with it, using software developed by Chief Chief Technologies Oy (“Speechly”). DOSS and Speechly have to process and retain your voice interactions to provide, personalize, and improve our services. If we ask you for any personal identifying information, those recordings will be specifically tagged before they are sent to Speechly. All other recordings will not be tagged. Speechly has ensured that any authorized to process personal identifying information have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

Below are some examples of what information we collect for our main products and services and how we collect it.

When you use DOSS's home search brands (including DOSS, AskDOSS, DOSS Pros, etc.) to find a home or vacation home, condominium, apartment, or other residential property to buy or rent, we provide you with lots of tools to find your next home. If you tell us what you're looking for, such as the type of home or number of bedrooms, we save that information so that we can tailor your search results to what you're looking for. We can also help you connect with local real estate agents, homebuilders, property managers, mortgage loan officers, and other real estate professionals. If you choose to contact one of these pros through our platforms, we ask for your name, email address, and phone number so that we can reach you and connect you with the right person. You can also list your home on DOSS and arrange for editing of home facts such as the square footage, number of bathrooms, and most recent renovation year. We link the information you provide to your account.

You can use AskDOSS to find and apply for rental housing, sign your lease (available at a later date), and even pay your rent (also available at a later date). If you use these features, we collect information from you to process your transaction.

During the rental application process, we or our affiliated brokers and agents collect your information like your email address and phone number, employment history, rental history, income, and credit score. When available, you will be able to use our tools to pull your credit report and criminal background check to include in your application, but DOSS doesn't store your Social Security number and we don't collect or see the credit or background check reports. We expect to affiliate with Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and or Checkr to generate those reports and make them available only to you and the landlords you choose to send them to.

If you pay your rent through DOSS when that service becomes available, we would collect your transaction information, but would not store your payment account details. Instead, we will use trusted affiliates to collect and store that data. If you use your bank account to pay your rent, our service provider collects personal and financial information from your bank or other financial institution. By using DOSS to make your rent payments, if and when that service becomes available, you are granting DOSS and our service provider the right, power, and authority to act on your behalf to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the relevant financial institution. Your information will be transferred, stored, and processed by our service provider in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

If you sign your lease documents through DOSS, our brokers or agents, or our affiliated brokers or agents, we will collect and store your contact information, signature, and any other information contained in the lease documents, which will vary by state and city. DOSS Home Loans and DOSS Affiliates' Closing Services

This privacy policy does not apply to DOSS Home Loans or closing services through title or other companies affiliated with or contracted with DOSS. To understand what kind of information Zillow Home Loans collects, please read the DOSS Home Loans Privacy Policy. To understand what kind of information title companies and other closing services collect, please read their respective Privacy Policies.

If you are a real estate professional, you may be able to connect your third-party email account (such as Gmail) to your DOSS account. If you enable that connection, DOSS will access your messages, contacts, and settings only to provide the services you request. We do not access or collect any of the contents of your email messages in providing interest-based advertising. We use information received from Gmail APIs only in compliance with Google's Limited Use Requirements, and from other email service providers only in compliance with their respective Limited Use Requirements.

We also collect your contact and payment details, along with professional information such as brokerage affiliation, associated listings and sales, and licensing history. Information from Public Sources and Third Parties

DOSS collects information from public sources, such as county and state tax and property records, government agencies, and multiple listing services (or MLS). Most of this information is about properties, not people. But some information we collect, like the identity of a property's owner or real estate license information, may relate to individuals. We also collect information about you from various third parties in order to provide better service to you, or as part of the employment application process. This may include demographic information and other attributes about you.

Along with the information you give us directly, we collect a variety of information automatically as you use DOSS services.

We collect information about how you use DOSS. This includes things like your home search history, homes you view, purchase activity, what you've clicked on and other uses of our features, and the amount of time you spend looking at different parts of our websites. When you call or text DOSS or a real estate professional using our platform, we collect data about your call or text, including the date and time of the call or text, your phone number, and the content of the call or text. Device information

Like other websites and apps, we collect data about the browsers and devices you use to access DOSS. The data we collect includes browser or device model and settings, operating system, unique identifiers, and the version of the app you're using. We also collect data about how your browsers and devices interact with our services, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and the URL of the site you visited before DOSS.

You can control our collection of certain data, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.

If you enable location services on your mobile device, DOSS collects the location of your device. We use that information to provide you with location-based information and ads, like homes and real estate professionals in your area, and to offer location-based services, like allowing you to unlock and tour DOSS-listed and other homes on your own schedule and, when available, entering contracts to purchase and listing your home on DOSS. If you don't want to use these features, you can turn off location services on your device.

We also collect location information for similar purposes from your browser if you enable it. You can disable access through your browser settings.

We and our affiliates use various tools to collect data when you visit our sites and apps, including cookies, pixel tags, and other similar technologies. Cookies are bits of electronic data that can be transferred to your computer or other device to identify your browser.

When you use DOSS, we and our affiliates may use cookies and other tools to gather information about how you view and use our services and content, and to connect your activity with other data we store about you. The use of cookies helps us serve you better by understanding what you're interested in, tracking trends, measuring the effectiveness of ads, saving your preferences, and storing information you may want to retrieve on a regular basis, such as your favorite homes. We also allow specific, approved affiliates to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own cookies or similar tools.

You can manage what kinds of cookies and other tracking technologies you are comfortable with, or disable cookies altogether, by adjusting the settings on your internet browser. However, if you choose to disable some or all cookies, parts of our services will no longer work. If you visit our site with cookies disabled, you will be notified that they are needed for the site to function properly. Check out our DOSS Privacy Center for information about cookies and your privacy options. In addition, if you give your email address to us, we may use a scrambled, unreadable form (called a “hashed” version) of your email address to deliver tailored ads to you on DOSS or on other websites, including via Facebook's Custom Audience Feature or other similar tools. You can go to Facebook's website to learn how you can control the ads you see on Facebook. For information about how you can manage your cookie preferences, check out the section of this policy called “Your privacy tools and choices.”

If you use social media logins (like Google and Facebook) to log in to DOSS, we may access your public social media profile information. You can always limit this sharing using your social media service settings.

To improve our services and make them more useful to you, we use data about your activity to understand and infer your preferences. For example, if you usually search for homes for rent rather than homes to buy, we may assume that you are not looking to buy a home and show you more information helpful for renters.

We collect information about the products and services you purchase or consider purchasing from us. This includes products for professionals, such as our advertising products, as well as consumer services.

If you visit a home listed by DOSS or one of our affiliated brokers, the homeowner may have a security system that captures your likeness and voice using cameras and audio recording equipment. Such data will belong to the owner of the home and may be shared with their security service provider, such as Vivint or ADT. We do not own that date and have no access to it.

When you use DOSS to initiate and/or complete real estate transactions, like buying or selling your home, applying to rental housing, or signing a lease, we use your personal information to verify your identity and process and complete your transaction.

We use your information to provide our services to you. This includes things like returning home search results and processing your rental application. We also use your information to improve our existing services and develop new ones. For example, we track how you use our websites and apps and use that information to troubleshoot issues and adjust things to improve your experience.

We use the contact information you provide us, like your phone number and email address, to communicate with you about our services. This includes things like responding to comments, questions, and requests you send us. It also includes notifying you of transaction or service updates and changes. We may also inform you about our services, offers, promotions, news, and other updates we think may be of interest to you.

If you ask us to, we also use your information to connect you to real estate professionals, such as when you want to contact an agent to discuss a home you find for sale on our platform.

We use the information we collect about you and your activity on our services to personalize the services we offer. We also use it to show advertising, content, or features that we think you might like. This includes things like customized search results that match your preferences and prior search criteria and, if you ask us to, connecting you to a real estate professional best suited to help you.

If we know you're working with a particular real estate agent, we may share information about your saved homes and searches with that agent to let them serve you more effectively. You control what we share with real estate pros you find on our platform.

We also use your data to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities and to protect the rights and property of DOSS, its customers, and others. Occasionally, there may be a reason we'd like to use your information in a way that isn't described here. If that happens, we'll let you know so you can decide if you're comfortable with it.

We know that sharing information with third parties is a big responsibility. We're committed to sharing information only when needed for a legitimate business or legal purpose, and then only with recipients who will protect it.

We share information when you ask us to share it. For example, if you choose to contact a real estate agent, mortgage lender, investor, builder, property manager, or other real estate pro through our platform, we will send them your name and contact information. Similarly, if you apply for rental housing through DOSS, your application information will be sent to the landlords you select.

Service providers and business partners When DOSS hires or contracts with a service provider to help operate our business, we may need to give them access to information to enable them to provide their service. We allow them to use the information only to perform the service we've asked them to perform. We vet all service providers carefully, and DOSS always remains responsible for the privacy of your information that is shared with our service providers.

When DOSS partners with other businesses to offer products and services to you, we may share information with those partners only as needed to provide those products and services and only subject to the terms of this privacy policy.

When DOSS needs to share data to satisfy a legal or regulatory requirement, including responding to a subpoena or other lawful government request for data, we will share information only as necessary to comply with that requirement. We'll tell you before sharing your information in these situations unless we're prohibited from doing so. We may also share information if needed to enforce our legal rights, detect or prevent fraud or security concerns, and protect public safety.

If DOSS is involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of transfer or sale of some or all of our or our subsidiaries' or affiliates' business, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, we may share your information in connection with that transaction.

We may share information that is collected from public sources or that you choose to share publicly (such as public reviews and home facts) with third parties. We may also share aggregated and/or deidentified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

DOSS allows certain companies to place tracking technologies like cookies and pixels on our sites, which allow those companies to receive information about your activity on DOSS that is associated with your browser or device. The companies may use that data to serve you more relevant ads on our sites or others. Under some state laws, sharing data for online advertising like this may be considered a “sale” of information. Except for this kind of sharing, DOSS does not sell any of your information.

You always have full control over whether these technologies work on your devices. Check out our DOSS Privacy Center for information about cookies and your privacy options.

We've made a variety of privacy tools available on our sites. Using the DOSS Privacy Center, you can see what kind of data we've collected about you and the types of third parties we share it with. You can also download a copy of your AskDOSS, DOSS, or other data and take it with you to a service outside of DOSS. If you'd like to delete your AskDOSS, DOSS, or other data or close your account, you can do that using the DOSS Privacy Center as well.

We provide these tools for your benefit and we will never discriminate against you for using them. But if you choose to delete your data or close your account, we won't be able to offer you services that require us to use your data.

The DOSS Privacy Center has information about how to use tools on our websites and apps to manage what kinds of cookies are allowed to load when you use AskDOSS or other DOS services.

DOSS's third-party ad servers, ad network providers, and third-party advertisers provide ad content that appears on DOSS. To measure how effective those ads are and to make them more relevant, ad providers may use their own tracking technologies to collect your information. These are used to record users' activity, such as the pages visited, and to learn what types of information are of most interest to the users.

DOSS may send you email for a variety of reasons. For example, if you save a search, we'll send you emails with new homes on the market that match your search. If you save a home, we'll keep you posted on status updates like when that home has an open house scheduled and when it has an offer pending. When you use our transaction services, we'll send you status updates and other information about your transaction. If you have an account with DOSS, you can select your preferences through your account settings. You can also manage the types of email you receive by following the instructions included in each email we send you. Even if you unsubscribe from some email subscriptions, we may still need to email you with important transactional or other non-advertising information.

Some of our services allow you to provide your phone number to us. If you give us your number, we may call or text you, for example, to give you information about getting an offer on your home through DOSS. We will contact you through these methods only in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and you always have the ability to opt out of further calls or texts.

We understand that no matter how we collect your information, we have a responsibility to protect it. We take that responsibility seriously. We build security into our products and features from the ground up to help protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We're always looking for threats and take reasonable steps to respond to those threats, protecting the information users share with us. Of course, no method of internet transmission or data storage can provide guaranteed protection to your information. If anything should ever happen to your information, we'll let you know as soon as we can and try our best to make it right.

DOSS is based in the United States and the information we collect is governed primarily by U.S. law. When we are subject to the privacy laws of other countries, we will comply with those requirements. If you access or use our services or provide information to us, your information will be processed and stored in the United States, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under your local law.

In this section, we've provided some legally required disclosures under state privacy laws. There shouldn't be anything surprising in this section, and we've tried to explain our privacy practices in plain English throughout the rest of the policy.

• The right to know the categories of personal information we've collected and the categories of sources from which we got the information (see Information collected by DOSS and the chart just below)
• The right to know the business purposes for sharing personal information (see Why DOSS uses your information)
• The right to know the categories of third parties with whom we've shared personal information (see Sharing your information)
• The right to access the specific pieces of personal information we've collected and the right to delete your information (see Privacy tools and choices)
• California residents also have the right to not be discriminated against if they choose to exercise their privacy rights.

While California law applies only to California residents, we believe everyone should have the same privacy rights regardless of where you live. So our privacy tools are available to all of our users. You can access these tools through the DOSS Privacy Center.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, or the privacy practices of DOSS, you can also email us at privacy@askdoss.com, or you can write to us at:

We are always reviewing our privacy practices to make sure they comply with this policy. Sometimes, we'll need to update the policy to reflect changes in our products, technology, and uses of data. We won't change the policy in a way that reduces your rights or significantly changes the way we use or share data without telling you ahead of time and giving you a chance to stop using our services if you want.
