We understand your concerns related to the disclosure of property and listing information on ViewPoint.ca. Users occasionally express such concerns including requests to remove information from our website. Our policy is not to delete or suppress any information that we lawfully make available to our users as removing information would diminish the integrity and value of our site in the eyes of our users. ViewPoint Realty is in the business of serving real estate consumers by giving them convenient access to comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date information that enables them to make well-informed real estate decisions with confidence. ViewPoint has been operating lawfully since January 2010 and our website has been visited over 100 million times by real estate consumers who have viewed more than 800 million pages of property and listing information.
All information which ViewPoint makes available, to the general public or its registered customers, is either public information or MLS® listing information where consent is not required for disclosure or such consent has been granted through contract. In the case of MLS® information, ViewPoint is a member of the Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS® and as a member we have access to the MLS® system of the Association including the right to use and share the information contained in the MLS system in the course of our provision of real estate brokerage services. Our disclosure of MLS® information, including prior sale prices and photos of currently or historically listed properties is permissible in accordance with the terms of a listing contract between the seller and the brokerage member of the real estate board which maintains the MLS® system. If any of the information which originated from the MLS® system is not accurate, only the brokerage that entered the information can amend or correct it. Specifically related to the disclosure of sold price information sourced from the Province of Nova Scotia land registry, see the text of Bill 73 here which explicitly permits the Minister to make the information available publicly. Nova Scotia, like all other provinces in Canada, discloses property sale information to enable property owners to evaluate fairness and uniformity in the assessment of real property. The key determinant to assessed market value of real property is sale prices.
ViewPoint has never been sanctioned, fined or instructed to remove any information or modify its operations by any authorities upholding privacy statutes at any level of government. We respect all applicable laws, regulations and policies and the authorities who uphold them. Since launching the ViewPoint.ca website in 2010 we have been the subject of a very small number of informal and formal complaints related to the display of property or listing information, all of which were resolved, unfounded, or abandoned after the complainants, their counsel and/or the authorities completed their due diligence. For example, in a letter from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (File: PIPEDA-030030) dated November 28, 2013, addressed to ViewPoint Realty, the Office advised that a complaint related to the display of property and listing information was, "...considered settled during the course of the investigation" and "The complaint file has been closed and no further action will be taken". For clarity, ViewPoint was not instructed to, nor did we, remove any information as a result of the complaint.
Finally, if the objective of your request is to prevent people from accessing property or listing information related to your property, ViewPoint removing the information from our website would not achieve that objective. All of the subjectinformation, be it assessment values, prior sales information or listing photos, would continue to be available lawfully from a variety of government and private sector websites.
