What This Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected from you through any of our web pages or mobile applications (singularly, an “eXp Site,” and collectively, the “eXp Sites”), and through any offering, events, services, and/or programs we offer, whether online or offline, including the real estate brokerage services (“Real Estate Services” and collectively with all other offerings, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy also applies to information concerning individuals that engage our independent contractor real estate agents to receive Services (“Clients”), including Client information we receive as part of the Services from our independent contractor eXp real estate agents and real estate brokers (“Agents”). Please note, our Agents process certain Personal Information on our behalf when you contract with eXp to receive the Services, but Agents may have their own data collection practices related to their independent business operations. This Privacy Policy is not applicable to any web page, mobile application, social media site, or information collected and/or owned by any entity other than eXp. Any questions regarding the privacy practices of a third party, including but not limited to any third-party website that links to the Services, should be directed to that third-party. 

eXp works with its joint venturers, with service providers (individuals and businesses) that eXp has an ownership stake in (collectively, “Affiliates”), Agents, and third-party service providers that are not affiliated with eXp (collectively, “Independent Third Parties”)  to provide our Services and special virtual events and in-person events to which you register to attend (collectively, “eXp Events”). eXp Events may be sponsored by one or more Affiliates and/or Independent Third Parties. This Privacy Policy is applicable to information collected from you when you register for an eXp Event; however, the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information obtained from you during each eXp Event may be governed by a separate, supplemental eXp Event-specific attendee terms and conditions (“Attendee Terms”). To the extent that the Attendee Terms and this Privacy Policy conflict, the Attendee Terms shall govern.

Your Consent to this Privacy Policy

By using the Services, you consent to the collection, sale, and use of your information, including your Personal Information, by us in compliance with this Privacy Policy, unless you opt out as identified in this Privacy Policy. If we change this Privacy Policy or some part of it, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this web page with an updated Effective Date so that you will always be able to understand what information we collect, how we use that information, and under what circumstances we may sell or disclose that information to others. If you have a User Account or we have previously collected your email address as part of your use of the Services or our relationship with you, we may email you notice of the updated Privacy Policy. Your use of the Services following our publication of any revision to this Privacy Policy will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms for all previously collected information and information collected from you in the future. If you do not consent to the new terms, you must immediately cease use of the eXp Sites and Services or submit a request to stop processing under applicable law. It is your responsibility to regularly review this Privacy Policy for any changes. We may also obtain your consent for specific data processing actions in a separate notice referring to this Privacy Policy in accordance with applicable law.

However, certain forms web beacons may send Personal Information along with titles of videos watched, descriptions of the video, and related information back to the web beacon owner such as the Facebook Pixel. We may include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. We may place, and allow certain third parties to place, technological tools, such as tags and beacons, or code scripts that are primarily used to track visitors’ activities on the eXp Sites by web analytics software, IP addresses, and other tools, to collect your data for the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy.
      Unique Identifier: We may assign you a unique internal identifier to help keep track of your future visits.

We keep this information for our internal use, and this information is not shared with others.

How We Keep and Secure Your Data

  1.      Commitment to Online Security: eXp intends to protect Personal Information and to maintain its quality. We have procedures in place designed to deal with any suspected and actual data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected or actual data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

Consequently, except where precluded by applicable law, eXp shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of Personal Information due to no fault of ours, including but not limited to errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of our staff and third parties. You provide Personal Information to us through the Services at your own risk.

eXp Realty Policy Highlights

Our policies are clear: 

  • Any Agent whose conduct, actions or performance violates or conflicts with eXp’s P&Ps, eXp’s core values, code of ethics, or any other eXp policy, may be released from eXp immediately and without warning. 
  • It is the commitment of eXp to ensure the brokerage is free from negative, aggressive and inappropriate behaviors, and that the environment is aimed at providing an atmosphere upholding our core values. All Agents and employees of eXp have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. 
  • All complaints of negative and inappropriate behaviors will be taken seriously and followed through to resolution. Agents or employees of eXp who file complaints will not be victimized for reporting others for their inappropriate behavior. 
  • Agents who are members of the National Association of REALTORS® are required to be in good standing with their respective state licensure requirements and maintain their mandatory ethics training

When three female real estate agents who use our services first approached our leadership team to describe horrific details of sexual assault by another independent real estate agent, to which leadership was previously completely unaware, we immediately investigated, separated from our contractual relationship with the alleged abuser, and worked to accommodate the real estate agents’ requests, which included moving them to different teams within our organization. eXp immediately terminated our contract with the alleged abuser based on the allegations. The allegations presented serious, credible, and extreme violations of the policies, values, and mission of the company and its leadership. The claims in this case stem from alleged assaults by independent real estate agents who were never eXp employees—which we handled with speed, seriousness, and deep respect as soon as the accusers brought it to our attention, in line with our values and with the law. eXp’s investigation into new claims led to eXp taking corrective action against another male agent.  

eXp hopes and trusts the court will give a full and fair hearing to the plaintiffs as they pursue claims against the individuals who allegedly assaulted them. However, the claims against eXp and its leadership have no basis in fact or law, and to which eXp vehemently denies. The court has dismissed some claims and we are prepared to present and defend our position on the others.

Separately, an eXp agent notified the company about another agent who had been allegedly assaulted in May 2023. The alleged assaulter was not an eXp agent or employee and the assault did not occur at the eXp event location. eXp took immediate action, flying the agent’s family in to be with her, covering her expenses, and banning the alleged assaulter from any eXp event.

We recently learned of new allegations of alleged assaults that were brought forth by another female agent and have begun an investigation into the claims.

The experiences these women shared are abhorrent and unacceptable. We have no tolerance for this behavior, and in each case we took swift and appropriate action to provide support and protection.
