IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PARTIAL EMAIL USE AS USERNAME DISPLAYED PUBLICLY

The website ad-listing system can use the first part of an email address (the part before the @ sign) in some cases when generating a “displayed name” which may be linked to or from a property listing, or several property listings, i.e. in public view. In some cases it is innocuous and/or a numeric value is appended, for example “george-45239187”. In other cases it may show an identifiable full name in the URL. Given the nature of this site and that it relates to condominium property listings, we expect genuine users to be adding real listings, this should not pose a problem, however we felt we should bring this to your attention before you join or post. If you are not agreeable to this scenario do not register on this site. You may consider using a secondary or disposable email address.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PHONE NUMBERS DISPLAYED PUBLICLY

When posting a listing your number may be displayed publicly. For this reason we request users to verify their mobile phone number by sending an SMS containing a PIN. When bidding, your phone number will be made available to the owner of the listing and this fact is made clear at the time of placing a bid.

Changes to this Statement
condo bid will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect changes in operations, company and customer feedback. condo bid encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how condo bid is protecting your information.
