Information Collection
When you use the Services, we collect a variety of information.

You may also provide information about a third party through the Services, for example, if you share a real estate listing with a recipient via email. We may combine this information with other information we collect from your interaction with the Services or from other companies.

In addition, when you order products or services through the Services, Sage may collect your credit/debit card information. This information is secured using industry-standard encryption technology. Sage will use this information solely to complete your order and will not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete the order or comply with applicable law.

Portions of the Services may include Web beacons or pixels, which are electronic files to count users who have visited that page, to track activity over time and across different websites, to identify certain cookies on the computer or other electronic device accessing that page, or to collect other related information, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or Internet Protocol address. We may, for example, implement a pixel on the pages of the Services where you view certain advertisements or links to service providers so that we can track whether you visit a website associated with that advertisement or service provider later.

• Web beacons and Cookies from Third-Party Providers.

We work with service providers and advertising networks to track and manage cookie information and your activities while you are using the Services and your online activities over time and across different websites and devices. For example, third-parties may use cookies to deliver advertisements to you based on your visit to the Services. For additional information, please refer to the section below entitled, “Behavioral Advertising.”

Some pages of the Services may use third-party Web beacons. In addition to our use of the data to analyze visitor activity on the Services, third parties may use anonymous information about your visit in order to improve their products and services and to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

We also use retargeting services, which track and manage cookie information so that we and third-party service providers can better deliver advertisements that are relevant and useful to you on the Services and various websites across the internet. We have also implemented display network impression reporting to better understand how ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our sites.

• Calls.

Calls to Sage or to third parties through Sage may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes. If a call is recorded between you, Sage, or a third party, it will be deemed private information of each party, and may be released to any party.

Usage and Disclosure

In general, Sage uses the information collected from you to communicate with you and operate our Services. Sage also uses this information to respond to your requests and present you with advertising that we believe will be of interest or useful to you. Sage also captures the details of any transactions that take place through the Services and may use such information for internal or external purposes, given that Sage will anonymize all personal data (other than address) when using or providing such transaction data to users or third parties.

Your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting information that identifies you personally, where you have chosen to keep it private (“Personal Information”). We will only share Personal Information that you provide outside the public areas of the Services in the following circumstances:

• Consent.

When you consent or direct Sage to share the Personal Information. For example, if you choose to contact a homeowner to tour or make an offer on a home through the Services, the information you transmit through the system, including your name, email address and phone number may be transmitted to the homeowner to complete the task you requested through the Services. Further, if you advertise a home for sale through the Services, Sage may provide your name, address, email address and phone number to individual users interested in touring or making offers on your home. Sage cannot guarantee that all tour requests or offers are genuine and you hereby consent to the release of your Personal information in accordance herewith, and further agree to hold Sage harmless from any liability or damages you may suffer as a result of such release.

• Service providers to Sage.

When Sage hires a service provider to help operate the Services or our business, Sage may give access to Personal Information only as necessary to perform the service for Sage, and subject to the terms of this privacy policy.

• Partners with whom we conduct business.

Sage may give business partners access to Personal Information only as necessary to offer you products and services with those business partners, and subject to the terms of this privacy policy. Furthermore, when you take certain actions through the Services, you consent to the transfer of certain pieces of your Personal Information to such third parties, for instance when you select a lender with which to be prequalified, or a title company to use to close a home sale or purchase, Sage or its Service Provider Partners may transfer your name, email address, phone number and transaction details as may be required or convenient for such third-party to effectively provide the requested services to you.

• Legal obligation or protection from harm.

When Sage has a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the Personal Information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any requirement of law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce or investigate a potential violation of the Terms of Use, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise respond to fraud, security or technical concerns, (d) support auditing and compliance functions, or (e) protect the rights, property, or safety of Sage, its users, or the public against harm.

• Merger or sale.

If and when Sage is involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of transfer or sale of some or all of its business, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding. Personal Information may be transferred along with the business.

You should keep in mind that the information that you choose to provide in a public area of the Services (such as on home advertisements) will not be protected by this privacy policy because you have made an active choice to make that information public. We are not responsible for any Personal Information you choose to submit in any public area of the Services.

Further, while we do not share your Personal Information with third parties unless permitted above, Sage may share aggregate anonymous information with third-parties. This information does not personally identify individuals, but instead provides a helpful understanding of the groups of people who prefer certain types of information and services.

Real Estate Information
Sage strives to provide access to and improve real estate information available to the general public. For example, we make certain details of past transactions conducted through the Services available to future users in an anonymous fashion (other than property address) to assist such users with information-backed decision making. Where third-party service providers participate in the Services, we may also allow users to comment on such providers, such as through ratings and reviews. Sage may post, remove, or edit any reviews submitted by users in its sole discretion, and you agree to the display, editing or removal of any such reviews or ratings submitted through the Services.

Opting Out of Collection of Information by Third Parties.
Sage's third-party ad servers, ad network providers, and third-party advertisers (the “Sage Ad Providers”) may provide you with advertisements that you may see on the Services or on other affiliated websites. To improve the relevancy and help measure the effectiveness of such advertisements, the Sage Ad Providers may use cookies, Web beacons, clear.gifs or similar technologies. These are used to record users' activity, such as the pages visited, and to learn what types of information are of most interest to the users.

Sage Ad Providers.

Please note that, if you opt out and later delete your cookies, use a different browser, or use a different computer or other electronic device, you will need to renew your opt-out choices.
