Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Effective November 13, 2026. Jump to: Privacy Policy | Terms of Service

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information Sigounis Properties collects through sigounisproperties.ca, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We follow Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

1. Who we are

Sigounis Properties is the real estate business of Nicolas Sigounis, REALTOR®, a sales representative with EXIT Realty Matrix Brokerage. Nicolas is responsible for the personal information described here and acts as our privacy contact.

2. What we collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, property address, and anything you write in a form, message, or call, such as a home value request, showing request, or question about buying or selling.
  • Information collected automatically: your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and the website you came from, gathered through cookies and similar tools.
  • Information from transactions: if you become a client, we also collect the details needed to represent you, such as identification, financial details, and property or offer information. These are covered by your written agreement with the brokerage.

3. Why we collect it

  • To respond to your questions and provide the service you asked for, such as a home valuation or property search.
  • To represent you in a purchase, sale, lease, or investment, where you become a client.
  • To send market updates, listings, and newsletters, but only with your consent (see section 6).
  • To keep our website secure, understand how it is used, and improve it.
  • To meet legal and professional obligations, including those of the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) and the brokerage.

We use your information only for these purposes unless we ask you first.

4. Your consent

When you submit a form on this site, you consent to us collecting, using, and sharing your information as this policy describes. For marketing messages, we ask for separate, specific consent. You can withdraw consent at any time (section 8). Withdrawing may limit our ability to serve you.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

  • EXIT Realty Matrix Brokerage, the brokerage we operate under, as required for trading in real estate.
  • Service providers that help us run our business, such as our website host, our customer relationship management and messaging platform (GoHighLevel / LeadConnector), email and text delivery, analytics, and document e-signature tools. They may process data only on our instructions.
  • Other parties in a transaction where you ask us to, such as lawyers, mortgage professionals, inspectors, the other side’s representative, and real estate boards.
  • Authorities, where the law requires it.

Some providers store data outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be accessed under local law.

6. Marketing emails and texts (CASL)

We send commercial electronic messages only with your express or implied consent. Every message identifies us and includes a working unsubscribe link or opt-out instruction, and we honour requests within 10 business days. For texts, reply STOP to opt out. Message and data rates may apply.

7. Cookies and analytics

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to make pages work, measure traffic, and understand which content is useful. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work without them.

8. Your rights

You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, withdraw your consent, or have us stop contacting you. Email Nicolas@SigounisProperties.ca and we will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity first. If we cannot resolve a concern, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.

9. How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above and as the law requires. Real estate transaction records are kept for the period required by RECO and the brokerage, currently at least six years, then securely destroyed.

10. Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including access controls, password protection, and encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Links and children

Our site may link to third-party websites with their own privacy practices. Our services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

12. Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows the latest version.

Terms of Service

By using sigounisproperties.ca (the “Site”), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About the Site

The Site is operated by Sigounis Properties, the real estate business of Nicolas Sigounis, REALTOR®, a sales representative with EXIT Realty Matrix Brokerage (“we”, “us”). The Site provides general information about buying, selling, and investing in real estate in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, and lets you contact us.

2. General information only

Content on the Site, including market commentary, community pages, calculators, and home value estimates, is general information. It is not legal, tax, financial, mortgage, or appraisal advice. A free home value estimate is not a formal appraisal. Speak with a qualified professional before making decisions.

3. No client relationship from the Site alone

Using the Site or submitting a form does not create a brokerage, agency, or client relationship. That relationship exists only under a written agreement signed with the brokerage. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through web forms.

4. Listing data and MLS® notices

MLS®, Multiple Listing Service® and the associated logos are certification marks owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). REALTOR®, REALTORS® and the REALTOR® logo are trademarks controlled by CREA and identify real estate professionals who are CREA members. Listing data is provided through the REALTOR.ca Data Distribution Facility (DDF®). It is deemed reliable but not guaranteed, may be out of date, and is for your personal, non-commercial use to identify properties you may want to buy. Listings may be withdrawn, sold, or changed without notice. This Site is not intended to solicit buyers or sellers already under contract.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • copy, scrape, harvest, or republish listing data or Site content in bulk, or use automated tools to do so;
  • submit false, misleading, or someone else’s information, or contact details you are not authorized to use;
  • interfere with the Site’s security or operation, or attempt unauthorized access;
  • use the Site for unlawful purposes or to send unsolicited commercial messages.

6. Intellectual property

The Site’s text, design, graphics, photos, videos, and logos belong to Sigounis Properties or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. EXIT Realty and related marks belong to their respective owners. You may view and print pages for personal use. Any other use needs our written permission.

7. Your submissions and contact

When you submit a form or message, you confirm the information is accurate and that we may contact you about your request by phone, text, or email, as set out in our Privacy Policy. Message and data rates may apply to texts. You can opt out at any time.

8. Third-party links and tools

The Site may link to third-party sites, maps, mortgage tools, or booking tools. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.

9. No warranties

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the Site will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or error-free.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Sigounis Properties, Nicolas Sigounis, and EXIT Realty Matrix Brokerage are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or any loss from relying on Site content or listing data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Ontario or Canadian law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have jurisdiction over any dispute about the Site.

12. Changes and contact

We may update these terms by posting a new effective date. Continued use of the Site means you accept the changes. Questions: Nicolas@SigounisProperties.ca or 613-859-9331.
