(a) Email Communications. If you receive an unwanted email from our server, you can change the drop-down option to "No" (below your email address) in your profile. Note the site administrator can still send you necessary communications; however, other site users will not.

(b) Private Messages. You may opt out of receiving private messages from by choosing to disable private messages in the private messages' preferences page.

(c) Advertising Opt-Out. You can choose to disable any personally identifiable information in advertising. This will also prevent realtors or homeowners from seeing your interest in their properties - unless you choose to contact them.

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to:
‍
(a) Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”).

(b) Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

(c) Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.

If we are aware of a criminal complaint involving a property which was listed on our site, we may not be able to comply with a data deletion pending the case' resolution.

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

(e) Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.

If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
