This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to your use of the Gitcha website, app, and services (together, the “Services”) and describes how Gitcha Home LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“Gitcha,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and protects your Personal Information. When you submit personal information to Gitcha, whether through use or access to our Services or otherwise, you are consenting to the collection, use, transfer, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Policy.

1. Information Gitcha Collects.
When you submit information to Gitcha via our Services, or otherwise correspond with Gitcha, Gitcha receives and stores that information, including Personal Information. “Personal Information” means any information you provide Gitcha that could reasonably be used to personally identify you. We may collect the following types of information, some of which may be considered Personal Information:

a.Information You Provide Directly to Us.
a. User Accounts. There are two types of registered users. “Individual Users” are individuals accessing or using our Services to perform tasks such as to review or post want-ads, or to communicate with other users; and “Real Estate Professionals” are professional real estate agents or brokers accessing or using our Services to connect and communicate with Individual Users as well as perform tasks such as to review or post want-ads, or to track inventory and clients. Both Individual Users and Real Estate Professionals must create a user account to access most of the Services. To create a user account, we require you to provide certain registration information such as your name, phone number, and e-mail address. Real Estate Professionals must also provide information about their company and their agent number.
b. Want Ads. When you use the Services to post want-ads you will need to provide certain information relating to your posting. For want-ads, you must indicate whether you are posting as a potential buyer or renter, the location in which you are interested, your timeline, budget, and general information about the type of home you are seeking. You may also want to provide additional optional information about what you are seeking, including, for example the lot size, year built, and desired features.
c. Real Estate Dashboard. Real Estate Professionals can also track current inventory, clients, and want ads using the real estate dashboard feature. Real Estate Professionals may include client names, contact information, and notes related to their clients on their dashboard. Information listed on their dashboard that is not listed elsewhere (such as in a want-ad) is not visible to other users.
d. Payment Information. We use a third-party to process payment information. Third-party payment processors have access to payment information needed to perform their functions and may not use it for other purposes.

a.Technical Information.
1. Technical Information. Whether you are an unregistered visitor, an Individual User, or a registered Real Estate Professional, when you visit or use our Services, Gitcha automatically receives and records information about how you and your device interact with our Services, including, for example: (1) referring source (i.e., the site you visited prior to visiting our website; (2) date and time of access our website; (3) pages visited and features used, and the order of use; (4) type of computer or other operating device accessing our Services, type of browser used to access our Services, and type of operating system you use; and (5) other similar information about the interaction between your browser and our Services (“Technical Information”).

‍
1. Cookies. Cookies are stored in a computer or other operating device’s memory during a user’s browsing session. The cookies we use in connection with our Services are automatically deleted from the user’s computer or operating device when the browser is closed and the session has ended. These cookies usually store a session ID that does not personally-identify the user, and they allow users to navigate our Services efficiently. These cookies provide us information about features used and activities conducted while using our Services. Generally, we use cookies to customize your experience. We may use cookies to compile aggregate data about user traffic on and user interaction with our Services so we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.
‍

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can block cookies at any time by changing the preferences in your browser and/or deleting cookies from your hard drive or other operating device. You can also have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie. Please refer to your browser for information on how to disable and control cookies. If you choose to block or delete cookies, our Services may not function properly on your computer or other operating device, and certain features may not be available to you.

In addition to browser cookies, we may use other locally stored objects (sometimes referred to as “flash cookies”) stored in your hard drive or other operating device. These flash cookies will not be deleted when you delete cookies from your browser, and even if you set your browser to not accept cookies, these cookies will still be stored on your hard drive or other operating device when you use our Services. We may use this technology for purposes such as information security and fraud prevention, and to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our website. We do not use this technology for online behavioral advertising purposes. If you choose to disable or otherwise control flash cookies, our Services may not function properly on your computer or other operating device, and certain features may not be available to you.

‍1. Web Beacons. We may use web beacons (also called clear GIFs or pixel tags) or similar technologies to collect technical information about your use of our Services and your viewing and use of emails we send to you. Web beacons are graphic image files imbedded in a web page, website feature, or email that provide a presence on such web page, feature, or email and send back to its home server information from the user’s browser. The information collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our website and opening our emails, and for what purposes. For example, we might place a web beacon in a marketing email to notify us when a user clicks on the link in the email. We do not collect Personal Information with web beacons, and we do not link information retrieved from web beacons directly with any Personal Information you have given us.

a.Other Types of Information.
We are constantly working to expand and enhance our Services and doing so may result in the collection of new, and different, types of information.
