Welcome to PropTech Group and Subsidiaries, market leading technology to streamline, optimise and automate the selling and renting of real estate.
These terms of use (“Terms”) are intended to explain our obligations as a service provider and your obligations as a customer in connection with our collection, use, disclosure, retention and protection of your personal information.
Please read them carefully. These Terms apply across all websites that we own and operate and all services we provide, including any online and mobile products, and any other applications or services we may offer (for example, our mobile app, events or training). For the purpose of this notice, we’ll just call them our ‘Services’.
These Terms are binding on any use of any of our Services and apply to you from the time that PropTech Group and Subsidiaries provides you with access to any part of the Services.
These Terms may be relevant to you even if you are not a customer of ours, and have never used a website, application or a Service of ours. We may have your personal information because we have received it from a user of a website, application or other Service that we provide.
We will update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, and other factors. If we do, we will update the “effective date” of these Terms at the top.
If we make a material update, we may provide you with notice prior to the update taking effect, such as by posting a conspicuous notice on our website or by contacting you directly, or where required under applicable law and feasible, seek your consent to these changes.
We encourage you to periodically review these Terms to stay informed about our collection, processing and sharing of your personal data. It is your obligation to ensure that you have read, understood and agree to the most recent terms available on our website.
By registering to use any of the Services you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms and have the authority to act on behalf of any person for whom you are using the relevant Service.
Your use of the Services is conditional upon you accepting these Terms. By using any of the Services you are deemed to have accepted these Terms. If you do not agree with any of these Terms, you should immediately cease using the Services. If these Terms are inconsistent with our legal obligations that cannot otherwise be lawfully excluded, these Terms will apply subject to those overriding obligations.
When we say ‘personal data’ or ‘personal information’ in these Terms we mean identifiable information or an opinion relating to an individual. Examples include your name, email, address, telephone number, bank account details, payment information, support queries, community comments including identifiers, professional or employment-related information, financial account information, commercial information, visual information, and internet activity information.
If you can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been aggregated and anonymised) then this notice doesn’t apply. Check out our terms of use for more information on how we treat your other data.
When we say “you” this includes any person or entity that has registered with us to use any of the Services or a visitor to any of our websites or other Services.
When we refer to ‘we’ (or ‘our’ or ‘us’), that means PropTech Group and Subsidiaries. Our headquarters are in Australia but we also operate in New Zealand and certain other countries. Address details for all PropTech Group and Subsidiaries offices are available on our About us page.
We provide an online sales, marketing and management services designed especially for real estate agencies and agents.

Our approach to data protection is built around four key principles. They’re at the heart of everything we do relating to personal data.
We may collect the following types of personal data or information: * name; * mailing or street address; * email address; * telephone number and other contact details; * age or date of birth; * credit card information; * your device ID, device type, geo-location information, computer and connection information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, ad data, IP address and standard web log information; * details of the Services we have provided to you or that you have enquired about, including any additional information necessary to deliver those Services and respond to your enquiries; * any additional information relating to you that you provide to us directly through our website or indirectly through your use of our website or online presence or through other websites or accounts from which you permit us to collect information; * information you provide to us through customer surveys; or * any other personal information that may be required in order to facilitate your dealings with us.
We may collect these types of personal information either directly from you, or from third parties.
When you visit our websites or use our Services, we collect a range of personal data about our current and prospective customers, end-users, contractors, employees, suppliers, agents, service providers, other business associates and the people who run the businesses we deal with. The ways we collect it can be broadly categorised into the following:
When you visit or use some parts of our websites and/or Services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, we ask for your contact information when you sign up for a demo or trial, respond to a job application or an email offer, participate in community forums, join us on social media, take part in training and events, contact us with questions or request support.
If a third party integration with Office365 or Google Suite is in place, this may also extend to calendar and/or email content depending on what level of integrations has been selected by you.
If you purchase Services, you may need to provide us with payment and billing information, such as your credit card details and billing address. In order to use certain parts of the Services, you also provide us with information about individuals, such as their names and email addresses. We use and process this information to provide the Services in accordance with your instructions.
If you don’t want to provide us with personal data, you don’t have to, but it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or Services.
We collect some information about you automatically when you visit our websites or use our Services, like your IP address and device type. We also collect information when you navigate through our websites and Services, including what pages you looked at and what links you clicked on. This information is useful for us as it helps us get a better understanding of how you’re using our websites and Services so that we can continue to provide the best experience possible (e.g., by personalising the content you see).
Some of this information is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies. This information will be considered personal information where we can link this information to your account or to an identifiable individual. If you want to find out more about the types of cookies we use, why, and how you can control them, take a look at our cookie notice.
The majority of information we collect, we collect directly from you. Sometimes we might collect personal data about you from other sources, such as publicly available materials or trusted third parties like our marketing and research partners. We use this information to supplement the personal data we already hold about you, in order to better inform, personalise and improve our Services, and to validate the personal data you provide.
You are not obliged to provide your personal information to us, but if you choose not to do so, then we may not be able to provide some or all our Services to you. You may however use a pseudonym during some interactions and where it is not necessary for us to identify you. For clarification on circumstances where you must identify yourself, please contact our Privacy Officer at info@proptechgroup.io. You may use a pseudonym or not identify yourself when making such a request.
Sensitive information (e.g. information about your race, ethnicity, health or criminal record) is subject to additional legal protections. We will only collect your sensitive information with your consent or when permitted under Australian law.
We use a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing. This intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use your billing information for any purpose except for processing credit card payments on our behalf.
We will not adopt a government related identifier as your identifier unless we are required or authorised by law or it is reasonably necessary to verify your identity for the purposes of our activities or functions or necessary to fulfil our obligations to an agency or State or Territory authority.
We will take such steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that your personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete and relevant. Providing us with information about others
If you provide us with personal information about someone else, you are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any obligation and consent obligations under applicable data protection laws in relation to such disclosure. In so far as required by applicable data protection laws, you must ensure that you have provided the required notices and have obtained the individual’s explicit consent or otherwise have a legal basis to provide us with the information and that you explain to them how we collect, use, disclose and retain their personal information or direct them to read these Terms.
If you’re someone who doesn’t have a relationship with us, and a PropTech Group and Subsidiaries subscriber has entered your personal data into our websites or Services, you’ll need to contact that subscriber for any questions you have about your personal data (including where you want to access, correct, amend, or ask that the Subscriber delete, your personal data).
We hold, use and disclose your personal data for various purposes relating to our business, which include the following:
There will be times when we need to share your personal data with third parties. We will only disclose your personal data to:
Where you permit or enable any of our applications or Services to integrate with another application, product or service (or use a feature of our Services that requires such integration), we will disclose your personal and financial information to the provider of the integrated service and collect your personal and financial information from the software provider (where relevant).
The Services rely on cloud-based web servers hosted by our third-party service provider. Our third-party hosts may host your data in servers located in Australia and the USA or elsewhere. Servers on which we store personal information are located in Australia and the USA (and servers on which our Partners or clients store information may be located outside of Australia, including USA and Canada).
We also use other intermediaries, like email notification providers, payment processors and technical support services that may be located in Australia or overseas, and when you or we use their platform in connection with your account on our Services, your payment information may transit to wherever they or their facilities are situated. Please be aware that the information you provide to us may be processed outside of your home jurisdiction, and our third-party service providers, including hosts and payment processors, may as a result be subject to the laws of other countries, which may not be as protective as the Privacy Act and the Privacy Laws in Australia.
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of your data. We have multiple security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information under our control. These include encryption of data in transit, regular software security updates, periodic risk assessments, and remediation of identified security vulnerabilities in a timely manner.
However, please be aware that no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit or otherwise provide to us and you do so at your own risk.
If you create an account, you will be asked to select passwords for yourself to access the Services, and this password will be used to allow you to use the Services. You are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and for any activity that occurs under your account credentials, whether or not authorised by you.
We may collect personal information about you when you use and access our website.
While we do not use browsing information to identify you personally, we may record certain information about your use of our website, such as which pages you visit, the time and date of your visit and the internet protocol address assigned to your computer.
We may also use 'cookies' or other similar tracking technologies on our website that help us track your website usage and remember your preferences. Cookies are small files that store information on your computer, TV, mobile phone or other device. They enable the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognise you across different websites, services, devices and/or browsing sessions. You can disable cookies through your internet browser but our websites may not work as intended for you if you do so.
We may also use cookies to enable us to collect data that may include personal information. For example, where a cookie is linked to your account, it will be considered personal information under the Privacy Act.
We will handle any personal information collected by cookies in the same way that we handle all other personal information as described in these Terms. Our website and services may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those links are provided for convenience and may not remain current or be maintained. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of, or any content on, those linked websites, and have no control over or rights in those linked websites. The privacy policies that apply to those other websites may differ substantially from these Terms, so we encourage individuals to read them before using those websites.
How long we keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether we have an ongoing business need to retain it (for example, to provide you with Services or to comply with any laws). Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we’ll refer to these criteria in order to set the retention period:
When we no longer have an ongoing business need to retain we’ll make sure your data is deleted or anonymised or, if this is not possible (for example, because it’s been stored in backups), then we’ll securely store your data and isolate it from any further access until deletion / anonymisation is possible.
It’s your personal data and you have certain rights relating to it. When it comes to marketing communications, you can ask us not to send you these at any time – just follow the unsubscribe instructions contained in the marketing communication, or send your request to info@proptechgroup.io. Requests to opt-out of transfers to our third-party vendors may also be submitted but limitations on data sharing may make it difficult or impossible to provide the Services in this manner.
You also have rights to:
You can exercise these rights at any time by sending an email to info@proptechgroup.io
We process and store information on your behalf. If you are an individual interacting with one of our customers on the Services and would no longer like to be contacted by that customer, please contact that customer directly.
