1.2 Descriptions of Information Collected
(a) General. When you use the Service, you can browse without submitting any personally identifiable information about
yourself. We will, however, receive and store some non-personally identifiable information about you, as described
below. In order to participate in certain functionalities, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable
information. “Personally identifiable information” is information that would allow us to actually identify you,
such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, or any other information the Service collects
that is defined as personal or personally identifiable information under applicable law. Additionally, you may also
be asked to provide information, such as details about a home or other real estate properties. Information may be
collected, for example, when you register on the Services, share or save a property via your account, save preferred
searches, correspond with real estate agents, brokers, or other real estate professionals via the Services, or
complete other forms or transactions. You may also provide information about a third party through the Services,
for example, if you share a real estate listing with a recipient via email. We may combine this information with
other information we collect from your interaction with the Services or from other companies.
(b) Account; Login. If you create an account, you will be asked to provide and we may collect certain information,
including, but not limited to, your email address and password selected by you. It is your responsibility to keep
your information up to date and to ensure that we have an active and deliverable email address for you. We are not
responsible for any problems, interruptions in access, or liability that may arise if you do not give us complete
and accurate information or if you fail to update your information so that it is current. Specific details on how to
correct or change your information are provided on the “Settings” page of “My Account.” Subscription information can
be removed from our e-mail lists by changing the “Unsubscribe” settings.
(c) Payments. If you make a payment to MoxiWorks, we will ask for information required for payment processing, such as
credit or payment card number, expiration date, CVV number, billing address, company name, and additional information
required for payment processing (Payment Information”) and other information requested for processing your payment.
We use third-party payment processors, currently Shopify and Braintree, (each, a “Payment Processor”) to assist in
securely processing your Payment Information. The Payment Information that you provide through the Services is
encrypted and transmitted directly to a Payment Processor. We do not store your Payment Information and do not
control and are not responsible for Payment Processors, or their collection or use of your information. You may
find out more about how Shopify stores and uses your Payment Information by accessing the privacy policy for Shopify’s
services (see https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy). You may find out more about how Braintree stores and uses your
Payment Information by accessing the privacy policy for Braintree’s services
(see https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/braintree-privacy-policy.)
(d) Public Content. You may provide information through the Service that is intended for public consumption and is
therefore viewable by the public, including photos, ratings, reviews, tips, lists, and real estate
listing information.
(e) Location Information. If you use our Service, we may receive your generic location (such as city or neighborhood) or,
with your consent, precise geographic location data.
We may use and store this information to provide and improve features of our Service. For example, to tailor our Site on a needs-based manner to better facilitate your use and
to provide you more relevant content about real estate in your city or cities you visit.
(f) Automatically Collected Information. Similar to other websites and services, we may collect some information automatically and store it in log files. We may use third-party
analytics providers (“Analytics Providers”) to collect this information about the Service. See subsection 1.2(g) below
(Third-Party Analytics) for more information on our use of Analytics Providers and the information collected by
such providers. This collection may include, but is not limited to: your IP address, browser type and language,
device type, referring/exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, landing pages,
cookie information, the pages you requested and viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date
and time of each request you make. We collect this non-identifying information in order to better understand our
users, to more efficiently operate our business, to promote our services and to improve the quality of the Service.
We may automatically collect information using various tracking technologies, such as cookies and web beacons.
- Cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a computer or smartphone for record-keeping purposes. Our Analytics Providers use cookies to record information about your activities while using the Service and to “remember” you when you return to the Service. Some cookies remain on your computer or device until you delete them. Others, like session ID cookies, expire when you close your browser. You may set your browser or device setting to attempt to reject cookies and you may still use the Service, however, certain features of the Service may not be available if your browser or device does not accept cookies. See subsection 1.2(h) (“Do Not Track” Settings) below for more information on how the Service may respond to your browser or device settings. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties. See also Section 3.6 (Disclaimer) below.
- Web Beacons. Web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track the online movements of web or mobile app users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a computer’s hard drive or your smartphone, web beacons are small graphics that are about the size of the period at the end of the sentence that are embedded invisibly on, for example, web pages or in HTML-based emails. Our Analytics Providers may place web beacons on the Site that track what other websites you visit (both before and after visiting the Site). Our Analytics Providers use information obtained from web beacons to help us improve our business and the Service. We do not control the use of web beacons by Analytics Providers.
(h) “Do Not Track” Settings. Because we track Service usage information through the use of cookies, web beacons, and other tracking mechanisms, your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser or smartphone may not have any effect on our collection of information via tracking technologies. The only way to completely “opt out” of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser and smartphone to delete and disable cookies and other tracking/recording tools. Getting a “Do Not Track” signal to work as you might want is difficult. Using browsers as an example, not all tracking technologies can be controlled by browsers: unique aspects of your browser might be recognizable even if you disable a tracking technology; not all settings will necessarily last or be effective; even if a setting is effective for one purpose, data still may be collected for another; and even if one website observes a “Do Not Track” signal, that website usually will not be able to control other websites.
We may use or disclose the personal information identified above for one or more of the following business purposes (“Business Purpose”), as further described in Sections 2 (Information Use) and 3 (Information Disclosure):
- To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information (e.g., to help provide products and services to you).
- To personalize and develop the Service and the services we provide you through the Service and improve our offerings.

We do not intend to and will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the

6. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
6.1 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, we process your personal information in accordance with the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Sale of personal information. MoxiWorks does not sell your personal information. Because of this we do not
offer an option to opt-out of the sale of personal information.
Your rights. Under the CCPA, you have the right to request that (i) we disclose what personal information about you
has been collected, used, disclosed, and sold, and (ii) we delete your personal information. You or an authorized
agent acting on your behalf may submit a request for either a disclosure (i) or a deletion (ii). Authorized agents
or delegates should provide the MoxiWorks support team with the name of the requestor who they are acting on behalf
of, their brokerage name, and their MLS ID in order to authenticate the requestors information.
Exercising your rights. You can exercise your rights and submit CCPA disclosure or deletion requests by (i)
submitting a web form at https://moxiprivacy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new or by (ii) contacting support through
our dedicated toll-free line at (888) 447-0733. Exercising these CCPA rights will not result in discriminatory
treatment from MoxiWorks, such as degrading your service quality or charging a higher fee for our products and
services. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on
your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a
verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make such a request for access or data portability twice within a twelve-month period. The verifiable
consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about
whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, and describe your request with sufficient
detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or
authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer
request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a
verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require
more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We will deliver our written response electronically. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12)
month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the
reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format
to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from
one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive,
or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision
and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
6.2 CALIFORNIA SHINE THE LIGHT LAW
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users who are California residents to obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of third parties to whom we have disclosed personally identifiable information (if any) for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year.

Your provision of personally identifiable information to us through the Service means that you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
9. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS FOR EEA AND CERTAIN OTHER TERRITORIES
If you are from certain territories (such as the European Economic Area (EEA)), you may have the right to exercise additional rights available to you under applicable laws, including:
- Right of erasure: In certain circumstances, you may have a broader right to erasure of personal information that we hold about you – for example, if it is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was originally collected. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, to complete transactions or to comply with our legal obligations.
- Right to object to processing: You may have the right to request that MoxiWorks stop processing your personal information and/or to stop sending you marketing communications.
- Right to restrict processing: You may have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal information in certain circumstances (for example, where you believe that the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or unlawfully held).
- Right to data portability: In certain circumstances, you may have the right to be provided with your personal information in a structured, machine readable and commonly used format and to request that we transfer the personal information to another data controller without hindrance.

12. ACCESSING OR UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION
MoxiWorks provides you with the opportunity to know about the information that MoxiWorks holds about you, together with the ability to correct, amend or delete, as appropriate, any such information that is incomplete or inaccurate. Should you wish to exercise any of these options or should you have any questions or concerns about information that MoxiWorks has collected in relation to you, please feel free to contact us by emailing [email protected]. We will make good faith efforts to resolve requests to correct inaccurate information except where the request is unreasonable, requires disproportionate technical effort or expense, jeopardizes the privacy of others, or would be impractical. If your account is terminated for any reason, your information will no longer be accessible through your account or associated with your account. However, activity that occurred prior to deletion may still continue to be stored on our systems or the systems of our service providers indefinitely.
13. ENFORCEMENT
