Information We Collect Through Automated Technologies
We may use automated technologies, including cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other technologies, to collect information about your interaction with our Products and Services. We may use these automated technologies to collect information about your devices, browsing actions, and usage patterns. For example, when you use our Services, we may use analytics technologies to retrieve information from your browser, including the site you came from, the search engine(s) and the keywords you used to find our site, the pages you view within our site, your browser add-ons, and your browser’s width and height. We may also use technologies, such as cookies, pixels and web beacons, to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take on our sites and services. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times, and referring Web site addresses. When using a Mobile Application, we may use automated technologies to collect information relating to your device, including your device IP address, device identifiers, the type and characteristics of your device, and language preferences.
We also use third-party analytics tools (including Google Analytics) to assist us with analyzing and improving our Services. For more information about how your information may be used in connection with our implementation of Google Analytics (including information on how you may opt-out of sharing your information or control how your information is shared), please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
You may be able to control the settings of your device or browser to stop accepting all or certain types of cookies, or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you set your device or browser to reject cookies, parts of our Sites may not work for you. Please note, depending on your type of device or browser, it may not be possible to delete or disable all tracking mechanisms on your device. The only way to completely “opt out” of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your device and/or browser to delete and disable cookies and other tracking/recording tools.

We honor do not track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. We do not allow third party behavioral tracking.
Our own simple tool notes the pages you visit and the ad or link that brought you here, so we can see what helps agents find us; it never keeps your name, email, IP address or card details, and it keeps nothing if your browser asks not to be tracked.
Our checkout uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a real person, not a bot, is placing an order. Turnstile runs in the background on the checkout page, even when your browser asks not to be tracked, because it protects payments. It collects information about your browser and device, which Cloudflare handles as described in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum: https://www.cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy/
We also may permit third-party advertising partners to use cookies and other automated technology to collect information about your activities over time and across different sites and applications through which you access and use our Services. For example, we may use advertising services provided by third-party ad partners, such as Google AdSense, to market our services to you on other websites and online services. These partners use cookies and other technologies to identify you and serve you ads on other sites around the web based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of Google personalized ads by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads. To avoid use of your information for advertising by Google and other third-party ad partners, you can change your browser settings to reject cookies or to notify you when cookies are set and you could select the Do Not Track option on your browser, though we have no control over and cannot confirm whether these third party ad parties honor the Do Not Track browser signal. Additionally, many advertising companies are members of the NAI or DAA and/or provide opt-outs on those industry pages at networkadvertising.org/choices or aboutads.info/choices.

How do we protect your personal information?
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities.
However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our website, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet, and we are not liable for the illegal acts of third parties such as criminal hackers.
When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Likewise, any of our third-party vendors with access to your information are required to take similar steps to protect the security of your information. Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic data storage is 100% secure. Consequently, while EAP strives to use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We remind you always to exercise discretion when you share information over the Internet.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
How We Share Your Information
Except as described in this Privacy Notice, we will not disclose your personal information outside of EAP without your consent.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting our sites, blogs, or applications, processing transactions and payments, or performing statistical analysis of the Services by you and other users. We also may share personal information with our business partners with whom we jointly offer products and services, and to the extent you connect to third-party products or services within or through the Services. Those service providers and business partners with whom we share your information will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the services they perform for us. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
Data will not be shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
However, some of our third-party vendors may use anonymized aggregate data to improve their services. For example, with regard to credit card processing services, our fraud detection vendors may use aggregate data to help them more accurately detect fraudulent uses of credit cards.
We may access or disclose your personal information, including the content of your communications: (a) to comply with the law or legal process (such as a subpoena), or to respond to lawful requests of government agencies; (b) to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights; (c) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; (d) to protect the rights or property of EAP or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the services; (e) acting on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of EAP’s employees, customers, or the public; (f) as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets, in which case, this Privacy Notice will continue to apply unless and until the surviving entity or transferee changes it in compliance with its terms; or (g) otherwise with your consent.
How You Can Access and Edit Your Information
You might have the ability to view or edit your personal information via the Services. In order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials (User ID and/or e-mail address, and password). You can access and update your information by signing in to your account. Some personal information that is collected may not be accessible and/or editable via your account webpage. However, in such cases, you may be able to access that information through alternative means of access described by the Services. Or, you may also contact us by email at [email protected].
Facebook Data Deletion
We take the security of your personal data seriously and we will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When your personal data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, we will securely delete it in accordance with our data deletion policy.
Our data deletion policy specifies the retention periods for different types of personal data and outlines the process for securely deleting data. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is securely deleted and that it cannot be accessed or retrieved by unauthorized individuals.
Please note that some copies of your information may remain in our servers, such as backups or logs. However, we will ensure that any copies of your personal data are securely stored and are subject to the same strict access controls and protections as your original personal data. We will only retain copies of your personal data for as long as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or for legitimate business purposes.
If you wish to request that we delete your personal data, please contact us using the details provided below. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by law and we will securely delete your personal data in accordance with our data deletion policy.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
EAP is committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities. We do not target our Services to children less than thirteen (13) years of age, nor do we knowingly collect information from such children for the purpose of selling products or services. If you believe we may have received personal information from a child less than 13 years of age, please contact us immediately.
Controlling Unsolicited E-mail (“SPAM”)
EAP is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or “spam.” We will not sell, lease or rent our e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While we continue to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of each email.
Text Messages
If you agree to get texts from Easy Agent PRO, a CloseDaily company, Close Daily LLC texts you about your demo, your account, support, and news and offers, including texts sent by automated systems. How often varies. Message and data rates may apply. We do not sell, rent or share your mobile number or text consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing. All of the sharing described in this policy leaves out text sign-up data and consent; that is never shared with third parties. Reply STOP to stop and HELP for help. You can also opt out in any other reasonable way.
