- Online Tracking Technologies and Advertising
11.1 Our Platforms may use cookies and other tracking technologies to provide the products/services, depending on the features offered, to advertise to you and to analyse how you use the products/services at the Platforms and whether advertisements are being viewed. ProppyApp Co. also allows third-party to use tracking technologies for similar purposes.
11.2 We and any third parties duly appointed/authorized by us to provide content, advertising, or functionality or measure and analyse advertisement performance on our Platforms (collectively, “Authorized Third Parties”), may use cookies, pixels/beacons, mobile advertising identifiers, and similar technologies to facilitate administration and navigation, to better understand and improve our Platforms, to determine and/or improve the advertising shown to you here or via our Platforms, and to provide you with a personalised / customized experience.
11.3 Cookies– Cookies are small bits of electronic information that can be transferred to your computer or device to uniquely identify your browser when you visit the Platforms, and such cookies may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer or device so that you can be recognized as the same user across one or more browsing sessions, and across one or more sites. Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:
-
- Cookies remember your sign-in details/credentials, so you do not have to enter those details/credentials each time you visit our Platforms;
- Cookies help us and the Authorized Third Parties understand which parts of our Platforms are the most popular because they help us see which pages and features users’ access and how much time they spend on these pages. By studying this kind of information, we are better able to adapt our Platforms and provide you with a better user experience;
- Cookies help us and the Authorized Third Parties understand which advertisements you have seen so that you don’t receive the same advertisement each time you visit our Platforms.
11.4 Most browsers accept cookies automatically but can be configured not to do so or to notify the user when a cookie is being sent. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. If you disable browser cookies or flash cookies, it may interfere with the proper functioning of our Platforms.
11.5 Beacons– We, along with the Authorized Third Parties, may also use the pixels technologies, also known as beacons, which are electronic files that communicate information from your device to a server. Beacons can be embedded in online content, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read certain types of information from your device, allowing us to know when and what you have viewed a particular content or a particular email message, determine the time and date on which you viewed the beacon, and the IP address of your device. We and the Authorised Third Parties use pixels/beacons for a variety of purposes, including to analyse the use of the Platforms and products/services offered by us and (in conjunction with cookies) to provide content and advertisements that are deemed to be more relevant to you.
11.6 Location Data– If you enable location services on your mobile device, ProppyApp Co. with your permission may collect the location of your device, which we use to provide you with location-based information and advertising. If you wish to deactivate this feature, you can disable location services on your mobile device.
11.7 Local Storage & Tracking Technologies– We, along with third parties, may use other kinds of technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and Hypertext Markup Language revision 5 (HTML5) local storage, in connection with our Platforms. We also may use unique identifiers associated with your device, such as mobile advertising identifiers. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. However, these technologies may make use of different parts of your device from standard cookies, and so you might not be able to control them using standard browser tools and settings. For HTML5 local storage, the method for disabling HTML5 will vary depending on your browser. For Flash cookies, information about disabling or deleting information contained in Flash cookies can be found here.
11.8 Mobile device and mobile browser information – You may adjust settings on your mobile device and mobile browser regarding cookies and sharing of certain information, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Please refer to the instructions provided by your mobile service provider or mobile device manufacturer.
11.9 Additional Choices to Targeted Advertising– As described above, we and the Authorized Third Parties may use cookies and other tracking technologies to facilitate serving relevant advertisements to you. For example, these technologies help us determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before, tailor advertisements to you if you have visited our Platforms before and avoid sending you duplicate advertisements.
11.10 Due to differences between using apps and websites on mobile devices, you may need to take additional steps to disable tracking technologies in mobile applications. Many mobile devices allow you to opt-out of targeted advertising for mobile applications using the settings within the mobile application or your mobile device. For more information, please check your mobile settings. You also may uninstall our applications using the standard uninstall process available on your mobile device or app marketplace.
11.11 Emails– You may receive email from us for a variety of reasons – for example, if you took an action through our Platforms, or you signed up for a regular report, or you posted your home for sale or rent, and a buyer sent you a message.
