Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit PropTech (proptech.tued.online, "the Website"), how it is used, and the choices you have. PropTech is an informational and educational website that shares articles written by contributing writers about real estate technology. We do not sell products to visitors, and we do not require you to create an account to read our content.

1. Information We Collect
Information you provide voluntarily
If you contact us through the contact form or by email, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, the subject of your message, and the message itself. If the Website allows comments, any name, email, or text you submit in a comment may also be collected and, in the case of public comments, displayed.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, when you visit the Website certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting platform and by third-party services. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, language settings, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the website that referred you, and general location information derived from your IP address. This data helps us understand how the Website is used and keeps it secure.
2. How We Use Information
We may use the information described above to:
- respond to your questions, feedback, and requests;
- operate, maintain, and improve the Website and its content;
- understand which topics readers find useful;
- detect, prevent, and address technical problems, spam, and abuse;
- display advertisements and measure their performance;
- comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we only use messages you send us for the purpose of responding to you.
3. Hosting on Blogger
The Website is hosted on Blogger, a service provided by Google. Blogger may collect and process technical data about visitors, such as IP addresses and browser information, and may use cookies to operate the service. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy, which you can find on Google's website.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand traffic, and show relevant advertising. We and our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies on the Website.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can usually delete existing cookies and choose to block new ones. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Website function.
5. Advertising: Google AdSense and Third-Party Vendors
The Website may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners. These third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this Website or to other websites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Website and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also learn about opting out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising through industry opt-out resources such as aboutads.info.
In certain regions, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we may be required to obtain your consent before advertising cookies are used, and a consent notice may appear when you visit the Website. We do not control the cookies used by advertisers, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties.
6. Analytics
We may use analytics services, such as those provided by Google or Blogger's built-in statistics, to understand how visitors find and use the Website. These services collect information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, and general location. We use this information in aggregated form to improve our content. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors personally.
7. Contact Form
Our contact form uses a third-party form processing service to deliver your message to our email inbox. When you submit the form, the details you enter are transmitted to that service and then forwarded to us. We recommend that you do not include sensitive personal information, financial details, or passwords in your message.
8. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in these limited situations:
- with service providers that help us operate the Website, such as hosting, analytics, advertising, and form processing services, who handle data under their own policies;
- when required by law, legal process, or a valid request from public authorities;
- to protect our rights, the security of the Website, or the safety of others;
- with your consent.
9. Third-Party Links
The Website contains links to external websites and tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. When you leave the Website through a link, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of the site you visit.
10. Affiliate Links
Some links on the Website may be affiliate links. When you click one, the affiliate partner may place a cookie on your device to track the referral. This allows the partner to credit us with a commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. The partner's own privacy policy applies to the data they collect.
11. Children's Privacy
The Website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
12. Data Retention
We keep personal information, such as messages sent through the contact form, only for as long as necessary to respond to you and to meet legitimate business or legal needs. After that, we delete it or remove identifying details where reasonably possible. Data held by third-party services is retained according to their policies.
13. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information, and the Website is served over HTTPS where available. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
14. International Visitors and Data Transfers
Our readers are located in many countries, including the United States and the Gulf region. The services we rely on, including Google's, may process data in countries other than your own. By using the Website, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions that may have different data protection rules. For additional information for visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, please read our GDPR Privacy and Data Protection page.

Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

Several Gulf countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, have their own personal data protection laws. We respect the principles of these laws, which generally include transparency, purpose limitation, and the protection of individual rights, and we handle information in line with the practices described in this policy.
