Types of Information We Collect
Personal information means information that can be used to identify and contact you. You do not need to submit personal information to access the Site or the Service generally. However, you may be required to submit personal information to access certain aspects of the Site or the Service. We may collect non-personal information such as your browser type, when you accessed the Site or the Service and from what physical location you accessed the Site or the Service. This information may be aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, and other statistics about users of the Site or the Service. We also may use this data to monitor the Site’s or Service’s performance and to make the Site and Service easier and more convenient to use.
We collect personal information when you create an account through the Site or the Service; participate in registration forms; purchase a product or service through the Site or the Service; receive customer or technical support; or participate in components of the Site or the Service through which users may post content, such as property listings.
To create an account through the Site or the Service, we require you to provide certain information, including your name, email address, username and a password. Providing additional information beyond what is required to create an account, including your phone number or mailing address, is optional, but enables you to more fully utilize the Site or the Service. Your contact information will only be made available to other users as authorized by you in connection with listings posted through the Site or the Service that you post or to which you respond.
When purchasing services through the Site or the Service, you will also be required to provide a credit card number, billing address, phone number or other payment information. No information of this type will be collected unless you have registered for aspects of the Service that require it.
By submitting personal information through the Site, you authorize A Retail Space to share this personal information for the purposes identified herein and on the Site, such as responding to user inquiries, processing transactions, distributing materials, and requesting feedback.
Third Party Privacy Policies
Through the Site or the Service, you may be able to link to technology, software and services owned and controlled by third parties (“Third Party Features”).

Such use of Third Party Features and submission of information through Third Party Features will be subject to such applicable third party’s terms of use, terms of service and privacy policy. You agree to look solely to the applicable third party and not to A Retail Space to enforce your rights in relation thereto.

We may make your personal information non-personally identifiable by either combining it with information about other users (aggregating your personal information with information about other users), or by removing characteristics (such as your name or email address) that make the information personally identifiable. This process is known as de-personalizing your information. You grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and fully transferable right and license to use your personal information in connection with the creation and development of analytical and statistical analysis tools relating to the use of the customer data we collect in providing the Site and the Service (the “Analytical Data”).
