Privacy policy

This privacy policy (“Policy”), maintained by KMS Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we” or “us”), applies to the Service described below. The “Service” described in this Policy is the Renovation Exchange website together with the Renovation Exchange Software-as-a-Service application.

This Policy describes the ways that the Service collects, receives, uses and discloses personal information that relates to you (“PI”) when you use the Service. In this Policy,
“End User License Agreement” or “EULA” means the Renovation Exchange End User License Agreement between us and certain individual users of the Service.
“Commercial Agreement” means a written business-to-business agreement (for example, an Order Form with incorporated Terms and Conditions, a product evaluation agreement or a similar agreement regarding a customer’s access to the Service) into which we enter with some users of the Service or organizations of which some users are employees or agents.

What This Policy Covers and Does Not Cover
This Policy applies to PI that we receive through the Service. This Policy does not apply to PI that we collect in ways other than through the Service and does not apply to PI that any third party may collect, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible via the Service.

By visiting, accessing, using or downloading the Service, you agree to our collection and use of PI as this Policy describes. This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after any modification means that you acknowledge the change and agree to the practices that we disclose in the Policy.

PI That You Manually Provide Us
The PI that you manually provide us through or in connection with the Service may include:
Information that you enter into forms on the Service, including information provided when you register to use the Service or at any later time.
Your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.
Details of transactions that you carry out through the Service and other actions that you take through the Service.
Search queries that you type into the Service’s search interface.
In these ways, you may provide us with your name, email address, phone number, home or work address, and password credentials for using the Service. Depending on how you choose to use the Service, you may also provide us with information about how you have used the Service.

PI That We Receive About You From Other Participants
The Service helps multiple organizations and individuals work together with respect to loan transactions and related services and projects (such transactions, services and projects referred to collectively in this Policy as “Transactions”). The users of the Service can include Borrowers, Consultants, Contractors, Lenders and Brokers (as the EULA defines those terms), appraisers, real estate agents, and employees and agents of all of the above (this Policy refers to all of the above collectively as “Participants”).

With any particular Transaction, the number and identity of Participants using the Service and the amount and types of PI that the Service receives about you can vary depending on how the Participants choose to use the Service. For example, in some loan transactions, only the Lender and Borrower will use the Service. In others, the Lender and Borrower may also use the Service together with a Broker, a Consultant and one or more Contractors.

The types of PI relating to you that other Participants may provide to us through the Service include your name, email address, phone number, home or work address, your employer’s name, and, if you are a Borrower, the FHA (Federal Housing Administration) case number and loan number that your Lender provides.

PI That We Collect Automatically Through Data Collection Technologies
As you use the Service, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your equipment and browsing actions. These may include:
Details of your usage of the Service, including traffic data, location data, logs, and the parts of the Service that you use.
Information about your computer or device and Internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type.
We collect this information to help us understand how people use the Service and how we can make ongoing improvements to it.

The technologies we use for automatic data collection may include cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser, but doing so may make you unable to access certain parts of the Service. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you visit the Service. Third-Party Services may use cookies in connection with your use of the Service as well.

You may opt out of our use of these tools with you, and you can learn more about how to do so at the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Webchoices page, European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA)’s Framework and the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt Out page.

How We Use Your PI
We use your PI to:

Provide the Service to you.
In some cases, enable other Participants to access and use PI about you in order to allow the Service to function in the ways described in the EULA and in applicable Commercial Agreements.
Provide you with information, products, or services that you request from us.
Let you know about changes to the Service or any products or services we offer or provide through it.
Fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it.
Carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts that you enter into with us.

How We Disclose PI to Third Parties
We may disclose aggregated information about our users and information that does not identify any individual or device without restriction or notification.
We will not sell, rent, license or disclose PI to third parties except:

To Borrowers, Brokers, Contractors, Consultants, Customers and Lenders and as employees or other representatives of the above, in the ways described in the EULA, any applicable Commercial Agreement, or in other product documentation that appears within the Service.
To work with other third-party companies that we use to provide or market the Service or other products that we offer (“Third-Party Services,” below);
Where we believe it is necessary to respond to legal claims asserted against us, to comply with legal process (e.g. warrants and subpoenas), to enforce or administer our agreements, to prevent fraud, for risk assessment, for investigation, and to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users or others. This may include exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes.
To investigate suspected fraud, harassment, illegal conduct, or violations of our Renovation Exchange Terms and Conditions;
To subsidiaries or affiliates that we may have today or in the future;
To a buyer or other successor in the case of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which the transferred assets include PI that we maintain about individuals;
To enforce or apply our EULA, applicable Commercial Agreements, or other agreements that we may have with you, including for billing and collection purposes;
With your consent; and
To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you provide us an email address to use to invite another person to use the Service, we may identify you to that other person as the person who has provided us their email address.

Your Rights With Respect to PI
The Service offers some types of Participants the option to edit PI that we maintain about them (for example, email addresses, phone numbers, names and passwords) by simply updating their PI directly through features in the Service’s interface. The Service does not notify other Participants of updates to a particular user’s PI, so if you use the Service to update PI about yourself, please notify any other Participants who are using the Service in connection with you of the update.

No Rights of Third Parties
This Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties.

Limitation of Warranties
We make no representations, warranties or promises about the security of PI or about any other matter except as stated expressly in this Policy, as agreed in the EULA or in an applicable Commercial Agreement or where required by law.
