Legal

Terms, privacy and the data agreement.

RealViu is based in Ontario, Canada, and these documents are drafted against that jurisdiction: Ontario contract law, and the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), since Ontario has not enacted its own private-sector privacy statute the way Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta have.

Not legal advice

These pages are written to be understood, not as a substitute for independent legal counsel. If you have questions about how a clause applies to your brokerage, contact us — we won't guess at legal advice, but we'll point you to the right section.

01

Terms of Service

Last updated September 2, 2026 · Governing law: Province of Ontario, Canada

Termsv1 · in force from 2 Sep 2026, 13:15 Toronto

1Who we are

RealViu is operated by RealViu Corp., registered at 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1A9, Canada. "We" and "us" mean that company; "you" means the brokerage, agent or business that opens an account.

2The service

We provide a hosted platform that may include a website on a subdomain or your own domain, property search fed by a real estate board data feed you are licensed for, a CRM, marketing tools and, on some plans, an AI assistant. Which of those you get depends on the plan you buy.

3Your account

  • You are responsible for everything done under your account, including by your agents.
  • You must give accurate information, including a real business name and a licensed brokerage or agent identity where the plan requires it.
  • The Presence plan is licensed for exactly one agent. Growth and Dominance AI allow unlimited agents within one brokerage.
  • You can sign in with an email and password, with your Google account, or by verifying a one-time passcode sent to your phone by SMS. If you use Google Sign-In, your use is also subject to Google's Terms of Service. By choosing SMS verification you consent to receive a one-time passcode by text message to complete sign-in; message and data rates may apply.

4Fees and billing

  • Prices are in Canadian dollars and billed monthly in advance through Stripe. Applicable taxes, including Ontario HST where it applies, are added.
  • Your site is provisioned once payment is confirmed. Founding-cohort discounts apply for the stated period and then revert to list price on notice.
  • You can cancel any time, effective at the end of the current billing month. We do not pro-rate partial months, and fees already paid are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.
  • We may change prices on 30 days' notice; the change applies from your next billing cycle.

5Listing data and board rules

Listing data is licensed to you by your real estate board — for example through PropTX — not by us. You are responsible for holding a valid IDX, VOW or DDF agreement and for complying with your board's display rules. We display the data as your feed permits and will suspend the feed if your board tells us to or if your agreement lapses.

6Your content and your data

You own the content you upload and the client records in your CRM. You give us the limited licence needed to host, display and process it in order to run the service. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to advertise to your clients. On termination you may export it for 30 days; after that we delete it on the schedule in our Privacy Policy.

7Acceptable use

Don't use the platform to send unlawful email, scrape or resell listing data, misrepresent licensing status, or upload anything that infringes someone's rights. We may suspend an account that does, and will tell you why.

8The AI assistant

Where enabled, the assistant generates responses automatically, including property value estimates. Estimates are informational, are not appraisals, and must not be presented to a consumer as a professional opinion of value. You are responsible for the conversations it has on your website and should review them.

9Availability

We aim for high availability but do not promise uninterrupted service on standard plans. Planned maintenance is announced in advance where practical.

10Liability

Except as expressly stated in these terms, the platform is provided "as is" and we make no other warranties, express or implied. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, including lost commissions, lost transactions or lost data. Our total liability arising out of or relating to these terms, however caused, is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Ontario or Canadian federal law.

11Termination

Either of us may end the agreement on notice. We may suspend immediately for non-payment, unlawful use, or a board instruction. If we terminate without cause, we refund the unused portion of the current month.

12Changes and contact

We will post changes here and email account holders when they are material. Questions: support@realviu.com.

13Brokerage materials and AI-generated communications

This section applies when you upload, connect or otherwise provide documents, text, website content, policies, guides, files or other materials for use by the AI assistant or any AI communication feature (collectively, “Brokerage Materials”).

  • Authority and rights. You represent and warrant that the person approving each upload is authorised to act for the brokerage; that you own the Brokerage Materials or have all licences, permissions and consents needed to provide and use them through the service; and that their use will not infringe copyright, privacy, confidentiality, publicity or any other third-party right. You must not upload client records, passwords, payment-card information, listing-feed credentials or other confidential or personal information unless you have a lawful basis, appropriate authority and a clear business need to make that information available through the feature.
  • Public use. Brokerage Materials provided to an AI communication feature are not internal-only. The assistant may retrieve from and use them to answer questions from any website visitor, including an anonymous visitor. You are responsible for deciding what is suitable for that public use.
  • Licence. You grant RealViu a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence, with the right to permit our service providers to exercise it only on our behalf, to host, store, reproduce, format, parse, index, embed, analyse, process, transmit and display the Brokerage Materials; to configure or train account-specific AI retrieval and communication features using them; and to generate and display responses derived from them, solely to provide, secure, maintain and improve the service for your account. This licence lasts while the Brokerage Materials remain in the service and for the limited backup and deletion period described in the Privacy Policy. It does not transfer your ownership of the Brokerage Materials to us or permit us to use them to train a public or third-party model.
  • Your responsibility and compliance. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, currency, legality and completeness of the Brokerage Materials and for communications generated from them. You must ensure that both comply with all laws, professional obligations, advertising and disclosure requirements, board and listing-data rules that apply to you, including TRESA and RECO requirements in Ontario, CREA rules and applicable provincial requirements. You must review the feature's operation, correct or remove outdated material promptly, and not remove or obscure any notice that an answer is AI-generated and may contain errors.
  • No review or guarantee. We do not review, verify, edit or approve Brokerage Materials before the assistant uses them. AI-generated communications may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or misleading even when the source material is correct. They are general information, not legal advice, an appraisal or another professional opinion, and must not be relied on as a substitute for human review. To the fullest extent permitted by law, RealViu is not liable for Brokerage Materials or for communications generated from them; the exclusions and limits in Section 10 also apply.
  • Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless RealViu Corp., its affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees and contractors from third-party claims, proceedings, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs and reasonable legal fees to the extent arising from (a) Brokerage Materials; (b) your breach of the warranties or obligations in this section; (c) an AI-generated communication based on Brokerage Materials; or (d) your breach of applicable advertising, disclosure, privacy, intellectual-property or professional requirements. We will give you reasonably prompt notice of a claim and reasonable cooperation at your expense. You may control the defence and settlement, but may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by, imposes an obligation on, or fails to fully release a protected RealViu party without our prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. We may participate through counsel of our choice at our own expense. This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by RealViu's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
  • Per-upload acceptance. Before each upload, an authorised administrator must review the notice presented with that upload and select “Accept and Upload.” Each accepted notice, including the exact version displayed at the time, is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. We record evidence of acceptance, which may include the administrator's name or account identifier, timestamp, notice version, identifiers for the related upload and network-verification evidence. Depending on the notice version, that network evidence may be an IP address or a one-way keyed cryptographic fingerprint of the IP address. When the notice states that a fingerprint is used, the IP address itself is not stored in the acceptance record. The authenticated administrator's identity and timestamp are the primary evidence of acceptance; network-verification evidence is corroborating evidence only. We retain the personal information in an acceptance record only for as long as reasonably necessary to evidence, administer or enforce the agreement, subject to our retention schedule and applicable limitation periods. If an upload notice conflicts with these Terms, these Terms govern.
  • Removal and survival. You may remove Brokerage Materials through the available account controls, and we may restrict or remove material that may violate these Terms or create legal, security or operational risk. Removal does not recall answers already delivered. The warranties, responsibility allocation, indemnity and acceptance record provisions survive removal or termination to the extent needed to address events that occurred while the material was used.

14Messaging, consent and anti-spam compliance

This section applies to every text message, email and other electronic message sent through the platform from a number or mailbox connected to your account, whether sent by hand, by an automation flow, by a campaign or by the AI assistant.

  • The law you must follow. Commercial electronic messages sent from Canada or to recipients in Canada are governed by Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), enforced by the CRTC, together with applicable privacy law and the rules of your real estate board and regulator. Before you send, you must hold express consent or a valid implied consent (implied consent lapses two years after a purchase or contract and six months after an inquiry); every commercial message must identify you accurately and give a mailing address and a way to reach you; and every commercial message must offer a working, no-cost way to unsubscribe that you honour within 10 business days and keep functional for 60 days.
  • You decide who is contacted. You and your agents alone decide which people your account contacts, on what consent basis, and with what content. We are a platform provider. We do not select recipients, write your messages or hold the consent you rely on; you do.
  • The tools, and their limits. We provide tools to capture, record and enforce consent: website forms with dated, versioned consent wording; a consent ledger; an import attestation; carrier opt-out keywords honoured automatically; a consent check before every automated and campaign send; and unsubscribe links in campaign email. These tools act on the records in your account. If a record is wrong because consent was attested that did not exist, consent was recorded by hand without evidence, a purchased, rented or scraped list was imported, or a consent control was otherwise overridden or circumvented, the resulting messages are yours alone.
  • No liability for your messages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any text message, email or other message sent from your account or on behalf of you or your agents, for any consent you claimed or failed to obtain, or for any complaint, investigation, penalty, claim or loss arising from them, including administrative monetary penalties under CASL. Section 10 applies to everything in this section.
  • Indemnity. You will indemnify and hold harmless RealViu Corp. and its directors, officers, employees and contractors against all claims, penalties, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from messages sent from your account or from a breach of this section.
  • Immediate suspension. Any violation of this section, including sending without a valid consent basis, ignoring or circumventing an opt-out, falsifying a consent record or attestation, or sending content that is unlawful, misleading or in breach of carrier rules, results in immediate suspension of the account or of its sending features, without prior notice and without refund for the period of suspension. We may also terminate under Section 11, cooperate with the CRTC and other authorities, and report the conduct where the law requires. Suspension does not relieve you of responsibility for messages already sent.
  • Records and cooperation. CASL places the burden of proving consent on the sender. You must keep your own evidence of consent and produce it on request. We keep the consent ledger and message logs for your account under our retention schedule and will make them available to you to answer a complaint or inquiry.

Privacy Policy

Governed by PIPEDA (Canada) · plus Quebec's Law 25 if we serve Quebec-based customers · Last updated September 2, 2026

Policyv1 · in force from 2 Sep 2026, 13:15 Toronto

Ontario has not enacted a general private-sector privacy law of its own — unlike Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta — so the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs how we handle personal information in the course of our commercial activity here.

1Two kinds of personal information

We handle personal information in two different roles, and the difference matters. Information about our customers — the brokerage staff who open accounts — we collect and use for our own purposes. Information about your clients — the buyers and sellers in your CRM — we process only on your instructions, as your service provider.

2What we collect about customers

  • Account details: name, business name, email, phone, brokerage and licence information.
  • If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile photo from your Google account — enough to create and authenticate your account, and nothing more. We don't request access to your Gmail, contacts or Drive.
  • If you sign in or verify your account by SMS, we receive the phone number you provide and use Twilio to send a one-time passcode to it. We don't use that number for marketing messages without separate consent. Standard message and data rates may apply to the SMS itself.
  • Billing details processed by Stripe. We never see full card numbers.
  • Usage and device data: pages viewed, features used, IP address, browser.
  • AI-material upload records: the approving administrator's name or account identifier, timestamp, the version of the notice accepted, identifiers for the related upload and network-verification evidence. Depending on the notice version, that network evidence is either an IP address or a one-way keyed cryptographic fingerprint of the IP address. A fingerprint remains personal information in our care because it is linked to an identifiable administrator and can be used by us to test a candidate address. When a notice says that a fingerprint is used, the address itself is not stored in that acceptance record.
  • Support conversations and anything you send us.

3Why we use it

To provide and secure the service, bill you, support you, tell you about changes, and improve the product. We also use AI-material upload records to confirm that an authorised administrator accepted the notice presented for a particular upload, administer the agreement, investigate disputes or misuse, and establish or defend legal claims. We use personal information for marketing only with the consent Canada's anti-spam law (CASL) requires, and every marketing email carries a working unsubscribe link.

4Client data in your CRM

Enquiries, saved searches and alert subscriptions belong to you. We store and process them so the platform works, and we don't use them for our own marketing or sell them. You decide retention and deletion; we act on your instructions.

5Service providers

We use a small set of infrastructure providers to run the platform, and we choose them deliberately rather than defaulting to a single all-in-one host:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) — our own elastic compute servers, primarily in Canada (AWS ca-central-1).
  • Amazon SES — transactional email, sent over private IPs.
  • Amazon S3 — internal backups and infrastructure artifacts, separate from the customer file storage described below.
  • Amazon CloudWatch — server monitoring and activity logs.
  • Supabase — our database layer, run with redundant copies across multiple regions.
  • Redis Enterprise — caching, session state and rate limiting, alongside Supabase.
  • Backblaze B2 — file storage, split into a public bucket for content served to visitors and a private bucket that's never publicly accessible.
  • Repliers — the MLS listing data API behind property search.
  • Cloudflare — CDN, SSL/TLS including white-label SSL on your own domain, domain security, and bot verification on our forms.
  • Google — the "Sign in with Google" option, so you can authenticate without a separate password. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy for the data Google itself holds.
  • Twilio — delivery of one-time passcodes by SMS when you sign in or verify your phone number.
  • Stripe — payments. We never see full card numbers.
  • An in-house AI model — fine-tuned on OpenAI's technology and paired with our own vector database and embeddings, run entirely on our own infrastructure, so it can stay current with your site's listings and content. Your account's conversations and data are never shared with, or used to train, any public model.

Our client admin dashboard is not hosted on any publicly reachable server. It runs on premises, on our own hardware, with access restricted to our staff through multi-factor authentication — there is no internet-facing login to it. We do not currently run third-party analytics or advertising trackers on this site — if that changes we will update this policy and, where required, ask for consent first.

We do not sell your data, or your clients' data, to any third party, and we do not disclose it to one for their own purposes. The only exception is where we are compelled to by a valid order of a court in Canada. Some of the providers above may process data outside Canada; where that applies we use contractual protections comparable to those PIPEDA requires.

6Cookies and tracking

We said in an earlier version of this policy that we set no analytics or advertising cookies, and that this section would say so if that changed. It has changed, so here it is.

Nothing in the analytics or marketing categories below is set until you choose to allow it. Until you choose, they are switched off — not defaulted on — and that applies everywhere, not only where the law requires it. You can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.

  • Strictly necessary — keeping you signed in, protecting our forms from abuse through Cloudflare Turnstile, and remembering the cookie choice you made so we stop asking. These are always on, because the site cannot work without them.
  • AnalyticsGoogle Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager. It tells us which pages get read, where visitors lose interest, and which of our own templates and plans draw attention. We look at it in aggregate; we are not trying to identify you.
  • Marketing — measurement of which advertising actually brings brokerages to us, so we stop paying for the advertising that does not. When we run campaigns this means Google Ads. If you arrive from an ad, the click identifier in the link may be carried through to our signup page so a signup can be matched to the campaign that produced it.

We use Google Consent Mode, so before you choose, Google's tags are told explicitly that storage is denied and they behave accordingly. We do not sell your personal information, we do not use it to build advertising profiles about you, and we do not share it with data brokers.

Your browser can also block or delete cookies directly. Blocking the strictly necessary ones will break sign-in and our contact forms.

7How long we keep it

Account data for the life of the account plus 24 months. Billing records for 6 years, per Canada Revenue Agency recordkeeping requirements. Client data you control is deleted 30 days after termination unless you ask sooner. Backups roll off within 35 days.

We keep the personal information in an AI-material upload acceptance record only for as long as reasonably necessary to evidence, administer or enforce the agreement, in accordance with a written retention schedule that accounts for applicable limitation periods. An active dispute, investigation, access request, legal hold or legal obligation may suspend scheduled disposal for the affected record. When the retention purpose ends, we delete the personal fields or render them irrecoverable and may retain only non-personal information needed to preserve the integrity of the acceptance ledger.

8Your rights

You can ask for access to your personal information, correction of anything wrong, or deletion where the law allows. Write to support@realviu.com and we respond within 30 days. Because Ontario has no separate provincial privacy regulator for private-sector complaints, you can also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the federal regulator with authority here.

9Security and breaches

We use encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and logging. If a breach creates a real risk of significant harm, we notify affected people and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as soon as feasible, as PIPEDA requires, and we tell affected customers promptly.

Data Processing Agreement

Attaches to the Terms · signed on request by brokerages

1Roles

For personal information about your clients, you are the organisation accountable for it and we act as your service provider, processing it only on your documented instructions.

2Scope of processing

  • Subject matter: hosting and operating your website, listing search, CRM, marketing tools and AI communication features.
  • Categories of people: your buyers, sellers, site visitors and agents.
  • Categories of data: contact details, enquiry content, saved searches and alerts, site activity, communications with the AI assistant, and Brokerage Materials to the extent they contain personal information.
  • Duration: the term of your subscription plus the deletion window.

3Our obligations

  • Process only on your instructions and as needed to provide the service.
  • Keep the data confidential and bind our staff to confidentiality.
  • Apply appropriate technical and organisational security measures, including keeping our client admin dashboard off any publicly reachable server — it is accessible only on premises, through multi-factor authentication.
  • Help you respond to access, correction and deletion requests from your clients.
  • Never sell your data or your clients' data, or disclose it to a third party for their own purposes. The only exception is disclosure compelled by a valid order of a court in Canada.
  • Notify you without undue delay — target 72 hours — if we become aware of a breach affecting your data.

4Sub-processors

You authorise the sub-processors used to run the platform: Amazon Web Services (compute, SES email, CloudWatch monitoring), Supabase (database, redundant across multiple regions), Redis Enterprise (caching, session state and rate limiting), Backblaze B2 (public and private file storage), Repliers (MLS listing data), Cloudflare (CDN, SSL/TLS and domain security), Google (Sign in with Google authentication), Twilio (SMS one-time passcode delivery) and Stripe (payments). A current list is available on request at support@realviu.com. We give 30 days' notice before adding one, and remain responsible for their performance. If you object on reasonable grounds you may terminate the affected service.

5Location and transfers

Our own infrastructure runs primarily in Canada (AWS's ca-central-1 region). Supabase maintains redundant copies of our database across multiple regions, which may include locations outside Canada. Where a sub-processor operates outside Canada we use contractual protections comparable to those required under PIPEDA, and we identify the country on request.

6Return and deletion

On termination you may export your data for 30 days. After that we delete it, including from backups within 35 days, except where law requires retention.

7Audit

On reasonable notice, and no more than once a year, we will answer a written security questionnaire and provide available reports. We do not offer on-site audits of our facilities.

8Signature
