1. Overview
REA Hub Pty Ltd ("REA Hub", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and their team members. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our compliance management platform and website (together, the "Service").

2. Nature of the Service
REA Hub is a compliance management facilitation tool. The Service provides record-keeping, checklist tracking, and document management features to assist real estate agencies in organising their compliance activities.
REA Hub does not provide legal advice, compliance advice, or guarantee that use of the platform will result in compliance with any legislation. The accuracy and completeness of all data entered into the platform is entirely the responsibility of the user. REA Hub does not verify, audit, or certify any information entered by users.

Access to your organisation's data is restricted to team members you authorise. REA Hub staff access is logged and limited to support and security purposes. We conduct regular security reviews and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data.
