Information We Collect

We collect information strictly necessary to operate a secure, professional real estate showing coordination marketplace:

  • Account & Professional Credentials: Full name, verified email address, phone number, real estate license number, licensing state (e.g. CA), additional broker licenses, brokerage name, years of experience, closed transaction counts, biography, and profile photo.
  • Property Showing & Tour Data: Property addresses, unit numbers, MLS numbers, scheduled showing dates/times, property access details (lockbox codes/CBS instructions), buyer contact details provided by Listing Agents, and post-showing completion checklists.
  • Location Data (Foreground Only): Single-point GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, accuracy radius, and calculated distance to property) captured only at the exact moment a Showing Agent initiates check-in at a property. We never track location in the background or continuously.
  • Photos & Media: Lockbox confirmation photos, property tour completion proof photos, real estate license verification document scans, and in-app chat image attachments.
  • In-App Communications: Real-time chat messages, timestamps, read receipts, and image attachments exchanged between matched Listing and Showing Agents.
  • Payment & Banking Information: Handled securely through Stripe. We never store raw credit card numbers or bank credentials on our servers.
  • Technical Telemetry & Consents: Device model, operating system, IP address, browser user-agent headers, session security tokens, and legal consent audit records (document type, version, timestamp, IP, and user-agent).

How We Use Information

We process collected data strictly for operational, security, and marketplace integrity purposes:

  • Facilitating Showing Requests: Matching Listing Agents with verified Showing Agents and coordinating showing tour schedules.
  • Licensing & Professional Verification: Authenticating real estate licenses with state licensing databases and admin approval workflows.
  • Proof of Arrival & Showing Completion: Validating single-point showing check-ins and photo evidence for lockbox opening and tour completion.
  • Escrow Payments & Direct Payouts: Securely holding showing compensation in escrow via Stripe and releasing payouts upon verified showing completion.
  • Real-Time Communication: Enabling in-app messaging and notification alerts for showing applications, claims, and status updates.
  • Dispute Resolution & Auditability: Investigating showing claim disputes, cancellation fees, and upholding non-solicitation and marketplace policies.

Device Permissions & Data Usage

In accordance with Google Play and Apple App Store policies, below is the transparent disclosure of device permissions requested:

  • Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): Used strictly in the foreground when you tap "Check In at Property". It calculates distance to verify property arrival and generates a visual confirmation map link for the Listing Agent. Background location tracking is NEVER utilized. Check-in is optional and does not prevent manual completion.
  • Camera (CAMERA): Used only when you choose to take a photo of the property lockbox, tour completion proof, or license verification document.
  • Storage & Photos (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Used when selecting an existing photo from your gallery for profile pictures, license documentation, or chat attachments.
  • Internet & Network (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Required to communicate with our secure backend API, WebSocket live sync, and Stripe payment servers.
  • Vibration (VIBRATE): Used to provide haptic feedback and alert you to new showing opportunities or chat messages.
Google Play Prominent Disclosure: AgentShowAssist accesses location data strictly on-demand in the foreground when initiated by the user for showing check-in verification. Location is not collected when the app is closed or running in the background.

Third-Party Service Providers & Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal or professional data to third parties, advertisers, or data brokers. We share data only with essential infrastructure partners:

  • Stripe, Inc.: Payment processing, escrow management, KYC identity verification, and connected bank payouts (Stripe Privacy Policy).
  • Cloud & Hosting Providers (Railway, PostgreSQL): Encrypted cloud database storage and API server hosting.
  • Map & Geocoding Services: OpenStreetMap and mapping utilities for property reverse-geocoding and static map generation.
  • Matched Real Estate Agents: Listing Agents and matched Showing Agents can view each other's public profile, verification badges, license number, and showing communication.
  • Legal & Regulatory Obligations: When strictly mandated by valid legal subpoenas, court orders, or state real estate commission regulations.
5

Data Retention Policy

  • Active Accounts: We retain user profile details, showing records, and chat messages for as long as your account remains active.
  • Temporary & Ephemeral Data: Magic link authentication tokens expire within 15 minutes. Check-in location coordinates are retained only with the associated showing record.
  • Financial & Tax Records: Escrow payment records, transaction ledgers, and 1099/payout summaries are retained for up to 7 years in compliance with IRS, state tax, and accounting audit requirements.
