What is GDPR?

In 2016, the European Commission approved and adopted the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is a significant change in data protection regulation in the EU and replaces the existing legal framework (the Data Protection Directive and the various member state laws). It came into effect on May 25, 2018.

Why is GDPR important?

GDPR brings forth a host of fresh rights and responsibilities concerning the safeguarding of individuals’ processed data. Its overarching goal is to bolster and harmonize data protection for individuals by ramping up enforcement efforts and establishing a graduated penalty system for breaches. We’ve thoroughly examined the regulations and protocols and are actively implementing the necessary measures to achieve compliance.

What has Realty Revolve done to comply with GDPR?

Our compliance and information security teams have collaborated to ensure our services comply with GDPR regulations. After reviewing our data processing operations, we’ve made necessary adjustments to our products and services. Notably, we’ve updated our GDPR Rights Disclosure. Realtyrevolve.com (also known as Realty Revolve, including its subsidiaries and affiliates) maintains these GDPR Rights Disclosures to complement our Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. These disclosures specifically pertain to individuals residing in the European Economic Area (EEA). They offer additional insights into how Realty Revolve collects, uses, and discloses personal information, as defined under GDPR, for EEA residents using our website. Should you have any inquiries regarding these disclosures, please contact us at Info@Realtyrevolve.com. Please note that Realty Revolve retains the right to modify the provisions of this GDPR Rights Disclosure without prior notice.

What is Personal Data?

Under the GDPR and as defined in these Disclosures, “Personal Data” refers to information pertaining to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes data that can directly or indirectly identify an individual, such as a name, identification number, location data, web-based identifier, or specific factors related to a person’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity. However, Personal Information excludes the following: (i) company registration numbers or generic company email addresses, (ii) aggregated or anonymized data that cannot be linked to you, and (iii) certain information processed by Realty Revolve as a “service provider” solely on behalf of its business customers.
