Who we are
RealHQ (“we”, “us”, “our”) is operated by BrainFeed Solutions, registered in Ahmedabad, India. We provide a software-as-a-service platform for real estate agencies. This policy covers data we process on behalf of our customers (“Agencies”) and the data we process about visitors to our website.
For purposes of GDPR and AU Privacy Act, we are a data controller for our website visitors and a data processor for the contacts and pipeline data inside Agency accounts.
What we collect
We collect the minimum necessary to operate the service and bill for it.
- Account data — name, work email, agency name, role.
- Agency content — contacts, listings, pipelines, appointments, notes you add. Processed on your instruction.
- Usage data — pages viewed, features used, error reports. Used to debug and improve the product.
- Billing data — payment metadata via Stripe (we never see card numbers).
- Communications — support emails and chat transcripts, retained while the account is active.
How we use it
We process personal data for the following purposes only:
- Deliver the service you've signed up for
- Send transactional notifications (signup, password reset, billing)
- Provide customer support
- Detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents
- Comply with legal and tax obligations
Legal basis
Where GDPR applies: contract performance (delivering the service you’ve signed up for), legitimate interest (security, fraud prevention, product improvement), legal obligation (tax, compliance), and consent (marketing emails, optional product analytics).
Where the AU Privacy Act applies: collection is in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. We collect only what’s necessary for the primary purpose of providing the service.
Sub-processors
We use the following third-party processors to deliver the service. The full list is also maintained as a separate document and you’ll be notified before we add or change a sub-processor.
- Railway — application hosting + Postgres database (Mumbai / Sydney).
- Vercel — edge delivery, image and file storage (Vercel Blob).
- Upstash — Redis cache for domain lookups (no customer data).
- Twilio — WhatsApp message delivery.
- Resend — transactional email delivery.
- Stripe — payment processing (card data never touches our servers).
- Sentry — error monitoring (no customer payloads, IDs only).
Data residency
Agency data is stored in the region matched to the Agency’s primary market. India accounts: Mumbai. Australia + UK accounts: Sydney. We do not transfer data across regions without your written consent or a clear lawful basis.
Retention
- Active accounts — for as long as the account exists.
