SPHERE Real Estate Network (“SPHERE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates SPHERE, a social networking and listing app exclusively for licensed real estate and mortgage-lender brokers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information when you use the app and related services. It also explains your privacy choices and how to contact us.
1. Information We Collect
Account and professional information. We collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, profile photo, and information you supply about your professional role. We also collect real estate license numbers, licensing status, and license verification records.
Content and communications. We collect listings, photographs, posts, comments, messages, and other information you submit through SPHERE, as well as communications you send to support. Listings and communications may contain information about other people. Only submit information you are authorized to provide.
Contacts, photos, and location. SPHERE accesses contacts, selected photos, and location information through supported app features and applicable device permissions.
Usage and device information. Our analytics, advertising, and hosting services may collect technical information about app use, devices, and interactions.
2. How We Use Information
We use personal information to create and administer accounts; provide professional networking, listing, messaging, and photo upload features; connect members; respond to support requests; maintain app reliability and security; measure use; and provide advertising.
We do not treat device permission as permission for unrelated uses. Additional consent or notices will be provided where required.
3. Visibility and Disclosure
Other users and message recipients. Information you provide in your profile, listings, posts, and comments is visible according to the app’s audience and visibility settings. Messages are disclosed to their intended recipients. People who receive information may copy or redistribute it.
Service providers. We disclose information to providers that support hosting, storage, payments, analytics, advertising, security, and other app operations, as applicable.
Legal and business circumstances. We may disclose information when required by law or valid legal process, to protect rights and safety, to investigate fraud or misuse, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable law. We may also disclose information at your direction or with your consent.
4. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
For correction, deletion, or withdrawal of consent, where applicable, email Support@Sphereicon.com. We may verify your identity and authority before responding.
Depending on your location and applicable law, additional rights may include portability, restriction, appeal of a denied request, and opting out of certain data uses.
Account deletion is available in your SPHERE account settings. You may also contact Support@Sphereicon.com with deletion questions.
5. Retention and Security
We retain personal information for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account account status, service needs, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security.
No electronic storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
6. Children and Professional Eligibility
SPHERE is intended exclusively for licensed real estate and mortgage brokers and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact Support@Sphereicon.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
7. External Services and Processing Locations
Links or integrations may connect you to services operated by others. Their privacy policies govern information they collect independently.
