questions from dotloop customers about how their data would now be
used," said Austin Allison, founder

priority for us; that has not changed. We are introducing the
Dotloop Data Privacy Guarantee to provide increased transparency on
this topic, making it very clear that dotloop customers own their
data and that their data will not be used for Zillow Group products
or services without their permission."
The Dotloop Data Privacy Guarantee affirms that:
- Dotloop customers own the data they put into dotloop. This
includes all customer data, from user information to transaction
data.

products or services unless customers have given us permission to
do so. This covers all Zillow Group businesses.

by law or authorized by the customers in question.

as well as to data entered in dotloop moving forward.
