This Privacy Policy explains how the Brix mobile app ("Brix", "we", "us") collects, uses and protects your information. By using the app you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- Account details — when you create an account we collect your name, phone number, an optional email address, and a password (stored encrypted).
- Location — with your permission, we use your device's location while you use the app to show rental listings and movers near you and to provide directions. Your location is used to serve results and is not stored to build a location history.
- App activity — listings you save as favourites and inquiries you send to properties.
- Tenancy information — if your landlord or property manager uses Brix and links your unit to your account, the app displays your lease, statement, payment records and balance. This information is created and managed by your property manager, not by you through the app.
How we use your information
- To create and secure your account and sign you in.
- To show rentals and movers near you and give directions.
- To save your favourites and deliver your inquiries to the relevant property.
- To display your rent statement, payments and balance if you are a linked tenant.
- To operate, maintain and improve the app.
Location permission
Brix requests access to your location only while you are using the app, to power the "near me" search, the map and directions. You can decline or revoke this permission at any time in your device settings; the app still works, but nearby results and directions will be limited.
Third-party services
Brix uses Google Maps and the Google Directions service to display maps and calculate routes. When these features are used, location and map data are processed by Google under Google's own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:
- with the property or property manager you choose to send an inquiry to;
- with your property manager who manages your tenancy on Brix;
- with service providers (such as hosting and maps) that help us run the app; and
- where required by law.
Data retention
We keep your account and related information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account (see below).
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted passwords and secure connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.
Your rights
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
- Withdraw location permission at any time through your device settings.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Children
Brix is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 18.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
