This document outlines the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for Ether Property Group (“Ether,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our website, https://etherpropertygroup.ca (the “Website”), or utilizing our property management, financing, and renovation services in London, Ontario, you agree to these terms. We are committed to protecting your privacy while delivering hassle-free real estate solutions tailored to rental property owners and investors in the London market.
We may update this policy periodically to align with evolving practices, legal standards, or Ontario rental regulations. Changes will be posted here with the updated date. Continued use after updates implies acceptance.
Last Updated: September 25, 2025
Part A: Privacy Policy
As a leading property management company in London, Ontario, we handle sensitive information related to rental properties, tenant details, and investment financing. Our approach ensures compliance with Canadian federal privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and Ontario-specific guidelines for real estate professionals.
1. Information We Collect
To provide seamless services like tenant screening, rent collection, property renovations, and high-ratio financing, we gather:
-
Personal Information: Details that identify you or your tenants, such as full name, email address, phone number, mailing address, financial data (e.g., for CMHC MLI Select applications), and property specifics shared during consultations, agreements, or inquiries.
-
Non-Personal Information: Anonymous usage data, including IP address, browser type, device info, pages visited (e.g., our services on property oversight or ARU conversions), and interaction timestamps to optimize site performance.
We only collect what’s essential for maximizing your rental income and streamlining operations—no more, no less.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data fuels our mission to simplify real estate ownership in London. We use it to:
-
Manage rental properties, process payments, handle maintenance requests, and ensure legal compliance with Ontario tenancy laws.
-
Facilitate financing and renovations, like applying for up to $45,000 in City of London grants for basement upgrades or ARU projects.
-
Respond to inquiries, send tailored updates on market trends, or share performance reports on vacancy reduction and ROI.
-
Enhance our Website and services through analytics, such as tracking popular pages on multifamily investments.
-
Meet legal requirements, including tax reporting or dispute resolution in London’s rental market.
For example, if you’re exploring our 6.9% management fee structure, we’ll use your contact info to provide a customized proposal without unnecessary follow-ups.
3. Data Protection & Security
Security is at the core of our operations, just like our vetted in-house contractors ensure reliable property upkeep. We implement robust measures, including SSL encryption for data transmissions, secure servers for tenant records, and access controls for financial details. While we strive for top-tier protection, no online system is 100% impervious—please safeguard your login credentials.
In the event of a suspected breach, we’ll notify affected parties promptly as per PIPEDA guidelines and cooperate with authorities.
4. Sharing Your Information
We never sell or rent your data—that’s not how we build trust in London’s competitive rental scene. Sharing occurs only when vital:
-
Service Partners: With reliable third parties like payment processors (e.g., for rent collection), CMHC for financing approvals, or licensed inspectors for renovation projects. All are contractually obligated to uphold privacy standards.
-
Legal Necessities: To comply with court orders, Ontario regulatory bodies (e.g., for tenancy disputes), or to safeguard rights, property, or safety.
If Ether is involved in a merger or acquisition, your data may transfer under strict confidentiality terms.
For cross-border elements (rare in our local focus), we adhere to safeguards like binding corporate rules.
5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our Website uses cookies to remember your preferences—think seamless navigation between our property management and financing pages. We also employ tools like Google Analytics for insights on user trends in London real estate searches. Essential cookies enable functions like form submissions; optional ones help personalize content on ARU grants.
You can opt out via browser settings (e.g., Chrome’s cookie controls) or our consent banner. Note: Disabling may impact features like saving consultation notes. We respect Do Not Track signals and avoid intrusive ad tracking.
6. Your Rights & Choices
Empowering you is key, whether it’s opting out of newsletters or requesting data insights. Under PIPEDA and Ontario law, you can:
-
Access, correct, or update your personal information (e.g., tenant screening results).
-
Request deletion (subject to retention for legal audits, like 7-year financial records).
-
Withdraw consent for marketing or non-essential processing.
-
Obtain a portable copy of your data in a usable format.
Submit requests to ben@etherpropertygroup.ca—we’ll respond within 30 days. For vulnerable groups, like elderly landlords, we offer extra support. We don’t knowingly collect data from minors under 19 without guardian consent; if discovered, it’s deleted immediately.
If unsatisfied, contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.
7. Data Retention & International Transfers
We retain data only as needed: active client files until account closure plus legal hold periods; anonymized analytics indefinitely for market insights. Upon request, we securely erase or anonymize it.
Our operations are Canada-based, so transfers stay domestic. Any rare international shares (e.g., cloud backups) include PIPEDA-equivalent protections.
8. Amendments to This Policy
We’ll post updates here and notify subscribers via email for major changes. Check back annually, especially with evolving Ontario rental regs.x`
