Jahan Homes is committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we handle it.
Last updated: September 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Jahan Homes("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website at https://jahanhomes.ca or contact us about buying, selling, leasing, or investing in real estate. We handle personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the record-keeping requirements that apply to real estate brokerages registered under the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA) with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).
Information We Collect
We collect personal information only when necessary and only through lawful means. The types of information we may collect include:
- Contact information — your name, email address, phone number, and any details you provide when submitting an inquiry through our website or contacting us directly.
- Transaction information — details about your buying, selling, leasing, or investment plans — property preferences, budget and financing status, timelines, and details of properties you own or are pursuing — that you share with us so we can represent you.
- Technical data — your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and the duration of your session, collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools.
- Communications— records of correspondence when you contact us by email, phone, or through our website's contact forms or AI assistant.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as financial account details, government identification numbers, or health information) through our website unless you voluntarily provide it as part of a specific transaction. Real estate transactions can involve sensitive personal and financial information; we collect only what is needed to represent you and treat all of it as confidential.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect only for the purposes for which it was provided, or as reasonably necessary to serve you as a sales representative registered with RE/MAX Escarpment Realty Inc., Brokerage. Specifically, we use your information to:
- Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations
- Provide real estate trading services — property searches, showings, valuations, offer preparation, negotiation, and transaction coordination
- Meet the obligations of a brokerage registered under TRESA with RECO, including representation agreements, disclosure documentation, deposit records, and transaction record retention
- Send communications about your enquiry or transaction, and — only where you have agreed — occasional market updates you can unsubscribe from at any time
- Analyse website usage in aggregate, anonymized form to improve our website
- Comply with applicable laws, court orders, or regulatory requirements
We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.
Third-Party Services
We work with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers to operate our website and deliver our services. These providers may process personal information on our behalf and are contractually required to protect it appropriately. They include:
- Website hosting and infrastructure — to serve and maintain our website
- Analytics providers — to understand aggregate website usage
- Meta — for advertising measurement when you allow marketing cookies
- AI assistant technology — our website includes an AI-powered chat feature. Queries submitted to this assistant may be processed by a third-party AI provider to route your enquiry and prepare Jahan for your consultation. Please do not share information you consider sensitive through the chat assistant.
- Email service providers — to send and receive communications
We do not disclose your personal information to other third parties except: (a) with your explicit consent; (b) as directed by you in the course of a transaction (for example, submitting an offer); (c) as required by law, court order, or by RECO in the exercise of its regulatory functions; or (d) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Jahan Homes, our clients, or the public.
Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies directly.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encrypted transmission of data over the internet (HTTPS/TLS)
- Access controls limiting who can access client information
- Use of reputable, security-focused service providers for data storage and processing
- Regular review of our security practices and technology
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
In the event of a data breach that poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada as required under PIPEDA.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law and our professional obligations, you have the right to:
- Access — request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information
- Withdrawal of consent — withdraw consent to our collection or use of your personal information where processing is based on consent (subject to legal and contractual restrictions)
- Complaint — lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (www.priv.gc.ca) if you believe your privacy rights have been violated
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact section below. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Ontario brokerages must retain transaction and trade records (agreements, offers, deposit records) for the periods prescribed under TRESA and its regulations.
Website analytics data is typically retained in aggregated form only. Contact inquiry records are retained for a reasonable period so we can follow up on your enquiry.
When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy, delete, or anonymize it.
