Protecting your privacy is very important to us at ListTrac, Inc. (“LISTTRAC”, “we” and “us”) and a key part of protecting your privacy is keeping you informed about our business and how we handle the information we receive. So, we are providing this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, and share the information that we receive about consumers, as well as to explain the options that are available to you regarding use, access and correction of your personal information. We’ll try to make this all as clear and as simple as possible, but if you have questions, you can contact us at privacy@listtrac.com, and we’ll be happy to help.
This Privacy Policy covers all the information that we collect or receive from visitors on both our marketing and analytics website listtrac.com (the “LISTTRAC Sites”).
LISTTRAC provides analytics services for the benefit of our business customers, giving them the ability to understand Internet users and consumers who are interested in their real estate listings. LISTTRAC provides these services to customers such as real estate brokers and multiple listing organizations (“Partners”).
We collect and analyze information about individual consumer interests. Our main sources of such information are our Partners’ websites and mobile applications. For information about the practices of our Partners, please review the privacy policy of the Partner’s website or mobile application – this Privacy Policy only describes the information collection and usage practices of LISTTRAC and not those of our Partners.
When a user visits one of our Partner’s websites (“Partner Sites”), views an email from a Partner with a LISTTRAC tag, or uses an app with the LISTTRAC SDK installed, we associate a pseudonymous identifier (a random, unique string of characters) with the user, such as through cookies, tags and resettable mobile advertising identifiers or mobile device IDs. A cookie is a small data file that is sent to your computer when you visit a website as an example. Tags (also known as pixel tags or web beacons) are tiny graphics that are embedded invisibly on web pages and emails. Tags are typically used in conjunction with cookies to collect information about user activity. Mobile device IDs are user-resettable advertising identifiers such as Apple’s IDFA and Google’s Android Advertising ID. When a cookie expires, we no longer use that cookie to collect new information, but we may keep and continue to use the information previously collected. Our tags do not collect your name, user name, email address or physical address, but we may store and associate a hashed email address or a mobile device ID with the tag data we collect. Through these identifiers, we can collect information about what the user does on the Partner website or application, and which Partner sites or apps the user visits. LISTTRAC may engage in cross-device data collection and targeting, when the relevant data is collected.
The information we collect may serve to identify a user’s computer or device or browser, and we may associate that information with other data we receive from our Partners and our Partner websites and apps about the user, including the following:
LISTTRAC does not use this information to identify you directly. We may also aggregate and anonymize information.
We do not knowingly collect or categorize consumers based upon sensitive information, such as racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs, financial information, precise information about health conditions or treatments or other similar or related information.
We neither intentionally collect information from, nor target any services to, children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected information of a child under 13, we delete that information as soon as possible.
We use the information to create analytics around real estate listing trends or the effectiveness of media and content marketing. For example, we may provide analytics on home buyer interest in different regions of the country. We also use the information we receive from our Partners to allow advertisers to present advertisements or other personalized content that might be interesting to a consumer. For example, if any pseudonymous identifier is associated to viewing homes on a golf course on a website run by one of our Partners, we may predict that the identifier might belong to a person interested in golfing equipment.
LISTTRAC will only share information with third parties in ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We may share collected information with certain third parties selected by us to help support our operations, including improving our website, software or the services we provide our customers. These third parties may have access to your information only for purposes of performing tasks on our behalf, and we contractually require them to protect your information consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We may share collected information that we receive from our Partners’ websites with the Partner that permitted us to collect the information.
We sometimes make our collected data available, in aggregated or anonymized format, to our advertising clients, business customers and business partners, and other third parties, for data analysis purposes.
We may transfer all or some of the collected information discussed in this privacy policy relating to a corporate merger, acquisition, sale of assets, bankruptcy or other change in corporate status.
We reserve the right to disclose information we receive to government or law enforcement officials or to private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary to (i) to satisfy or comply with any applicable law, regulation or legal process; (ii) to respond to lawful requests, including subpoenas, warrants or court orders; (iii) to protect our property, rights, and safety and the rights, property and safety of third parties or of the public in general; and (iv) to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.
When you visit our website, we and our third party service providers may use cookies and other technologies to understand the usage of our website, perform analytics, provide functionality, track user movement across our websites and gather demographic information about our user base; we may use this information or provide it to a third-party partner to provide you with relevant display advertising on our website or other websites. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you change your setting or reject cookies, the use of some features or areas of our website may become limited.
If you provide information such as your name, address, and email address to us, whether by contacting us through one of the LISTTRAC Sites, or by sending it to one of our contact email addresses, we will store that information in our database and will use that information only for replying to you. We will not use your information for marketing purposes, unless you specifically authorize it. You may opt out of receiving such emails by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link contained in our marketing emails.
We may also keep track of basic log data for visitors to our sites, like the IP address, operating system, browser type, website visited prior and other collected information. We do not permit third parties to collect any information from you through our site. If you would like more information about this practice and how to control how this information could be used by third parties, please follow one or both of these links: NAI opt out; and DAA opt out.
LISTTRAC cares about your privacy and employs administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. These measures may include encryption of information you provide and employment of information storage security technologies to block access from outside our network. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information. Please also be mindful that we are not responsible for the security measures of third parties, e.g. our Partners. As noted above, for more information about their information collection and usage practices, please see their respective privacy policies.
We use cookies to target and track advertisements, create industry analytics and personalize your experience on LISTTRAC Partner sites. We set our cookies to expire after two years; however, as is the normal practice in our industry, the two-year expiration date is extended each time the cookie we gave you encounters our server or to the extent that we continue to provide our services. Furthermore, regarding mobile users providing mobile IDs that remain active indefinitely, LISTTRAC will disassociate the data after the period of two years from last encounter.
We do not use any collected information we obtain through cookies to identify you. We do not link the information we store in cookies on LISTTRAC Partner sites to any collected information you submit while on one of the LISTTRAC Sites. LISTTRAC may obtain data from third-parties and combine it with data collected from LISTTRAC Partner sites.
In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we retain the respective sets of information received through the LISTTRAC Partner Sites and through the LISTTRAC Sites for as long as needed to fulfill a legitimate business need. We retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
Anyone who has provided information to us through the LISTTRAC websites may email us at info@listtrac.com to request that we update, delete, and/or correct his or her information. We will respond to each such request within a reasonable time. Even after a deletion, some information may remain temporarily in back-up copies until the next back-up rotation or overwriting cycle.
We participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) Self-Regulatory Program. Each of these programs provides an opt-out feature where consumers can choose not to receive targeted advertising from NAI or DAA affiliates. These links will take you to the NAI opt out and the DAA opt out.
We also participate in the DAA’s Ad Choices program, which enables you to control whether, and if so, to what extent, you receive interest-based advertising. You can exert such control by clicking on the AdChoices Icon on a Web page or near a Web banner ad. To learn more, visit the AdChoices FAQ page.
Remember that opting out is browser-specific. So, if you have multiple browsers or multiple devices you use to access the internet, you’ll need to opt out from each device or browser.
To opt-out of the collection and use of data for interest-based advertising on your mobile device, you can modify the settings on your mobile device. To reset your mobile advertising ID or to opt out of interest-based ads in mobile apps, please follow your mobile device maker’s most current published instructions, such as the examples linked and pasted in below (current as of the date of this version of our Privacy Policy):
For Android Devices (version 8.0 and higher): Open the Settings app, Select Google, Select Ads, and enable the “Opt Out of Ads Personalization” setting.
For Apple Devices: Devices with iOS 6 and above use Apple’s Advertising Identifier. To learn more about limiting ad tracking using this identifier, visit the Settings menu on your device as follows: Go to Settings, Select Privacy, Select Advertising, and enable the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting. For more information about different iOS versions, please see: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT202074.
When you have opted out using this setting on a device, and when ListTrac receives this signal, ListTrac will not use in-app information collected from that device to infer your interests or serve ads to that device that are targeted based on your inferred interests.
Note: The specific opt-out instructions for each device may differ slightly depending on which version of the operating software you are running.
As required by applicable law, including the U.S.-E.U. Privacy Shield Framework, upon request we will provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your personal information.

If you are a customer of one of our Partners and would no longer like to be contacted by one of our Partners that use our service, please contact the Partner that you interact with directly.
Any information that we collect is subject to the version of this Privacy Policy in effect at the time that information is collected. However, we may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them clearly on our website or by sending you an email or other notification if we have your contact information, and we’ll indicate when such changes will become effective.

Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the service.
Your information may be kept on computers located outside of your state or country, where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those where you live.
