Hausfuchs Beta Program — Terms and Conditions (Individual Participants)

Last updated: 30 October 2026 · Version 2026-10-30-r1

This document is available in English only during the beta period. The English version is authoritative.

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your participation in the Hausfuchs beta program (the "Beta Program") and your access to the pre-release version of the Hausfuchs service made available at beta.hausfuchs.com (the "Beta Service").

The Beta Service is operated and provided by:

Hausfuchs Oy, Business ID 3643057-1, Helsinki, Finland, <hello@hausfuchs.com>

("Hausfuchs", "we", "us", "our").

"Hausfuchs" is also the name of the service and its brand.

These Terms apply to participants joining as private individuals. If you are joining for your organisation, use the business terms at /terms/business instead.

By creating an account, clicking to accept these Terms, or otherwise accessing or using the Beta Service, you ("you", "Participant") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Beta Service.

Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have under mandatory Finnish consumer protection law. Where any term below conflicts with those rights, your statutory rights prevail and the conflicting term does not apply to you.

1. Purpose of the Beta Program

The purpose of the Beta Program is to allow a limited group of participants to evaluate the Hausfuchs geospatial and real estate intelligence service in a pre-release state, to provide feedback, and to allow us to observe how the service is used so that it can be tested and improved (the "Purpose"). All access granted under these Terms is granted solely for the Purpose.

Observation of usage is a core part of the Beta Program, not an incidental feature of it. Section 10 describes what we record and why. Please read it before you accept these Terms.

2. Eligibility and Access

2.1 Participation in the Beta Program is by invitation or approval only. We may accept or decline any application at our discretion, and we may limit the number of participants.

2.2 You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

2.3 You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity carried out under your account. You must notify us without undue delay at <support@hausfuchs.com> if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account. You are not responsible for unauthorised use that occurs through no fault of your own.

2.4 Your account is personal to you. Please do not share your credentials with anyone else.

3. Licence and Restrictions

3.1 Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Hausfuchs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Beta Service for the Purpose during the term of the Beta Program.

3.2 No rights are granted other than those expressly stated in these Terms. In particular, you shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

a) use the Beta Service for commercial purposes, or to provide services to other people;

b) copy, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, structure, architecture or underlying datasets of the Beta Service, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such acts cannot be prohibited under mandatory applicable law;

c) resell, redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease or otherwise make the Beta Service or Hausfuchs Data derived by us (as defined in Section 5) available to any third party, or use it to provide services to third parties. This restriction does not apply to third-party source data that reaches you under an open licence — see Section 5.6;

d) systematically extract, scrape, harvest or bulk-download data, Outputs (as defined in Section 5) or content from the Beta Service, or use automated means to access it other than through interfaces we expressly make available;

e) use the Beta Service, Hausfuchs Data or Outputs to build, train or improve a competing product or service, or any machine learning or AI model;

f) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any access control, usage limit, rate limit, telemetry or security measure;

g) upload or transmit any content that is unlawful, infringing, malicious, or that you do not have the right to submit; or

h) use the Beta Service in violation of any applicable law, including data protection, competition, real estate, marketing or export control law.

4. Nature of the Beta Service

4.1 The Beta Service is pre-release software. It is incomplete, may contain defects and errors, and has not undergone the testing, validation or quality assurance applied to a commercially released product.

4.2 You should expect that during the Beta Program the Beta Service may:

a) be unavailable, interrupted, degraded or slow;
b) produce incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or misleading results; and
c) lose or corrupt data, including data you have entered or generated.

Changes to the Beta Service that affect your ability to access or use it are governed by Section 16.

4.3 Please keep your own copies of anything you consider important. We do not undertake to retain, back up or restore data during the beta. Your right to obtain a copy of your content when your participation ends is set out in Section 15.5.

4.4 We provide no service level commitment, no support commitment, and no guarantee of uptime, maintenance or bug fixing. Any support we do provide is offered voluntarily.

4.5 Different participants may see different features, interfaces or behaviour at the same time, as we run experiments and staged rollouts. See Section 10.2(d).

4.6 We are under no obligation to release a commercial version of the Beta Service, to continue the Beta Program, or to make any commercial version available to you or on any particular terms.

5. Hausfuchs Data, Outputs and No Professional Advice

5.1 "Hausfuchs Data" means the data, datasets, indices and analytical outputs made available through the Beta Service, including data drawn from public registers, open data sources, licensed third-party sources, and data derived or modelled by us. "Outputs" means the estimates, scores, classifications, reports, maps and other results the Beta Service generates.

5.2 Outputs are informational only. They are estimates produced by automated and statistical methods and are not verified assessments of any property, site or area. Outputs do not constitute, and must not be relied on as, a property valuation, a condition or structural survey, an investment recommendation, a planning or permitting determination, a legal opinion, or tax, financial or professional advice of any kind.

5.3 We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency or fitness for purpose of any Hausfuchs Data or Output. Source data is obtained from third parties and may be incorrect, outdated or incomplete, and we do not independently verify it.

5.4 You must independently verify any information before relying on it, and you are solely responsible for any decision you make or action you take on the basis of the Beta Service. You should obtain qualified professional advice before entering into any property transaction.

5.5 Hausfuchs Data derived or modelled by Hausfuchs is sub-licensed to you for the Purpose only and for the duration of the Beta Program. You shall not redistribute, resell or sub-license it.

5.6 Third-party and open data. Parts of the Hausfuchs Data originate from third-party sources made available under open licences. These licences grant you rights directly, which these Terms do not restrict, and impose obligations on you, which you agree to observe. In particular:

a) data from the National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos) and comparable Finnish public-register sources is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence and must be attributed to its source;
b) data originating from OpenStreetMap is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0 and carries attribution and share-alike obligations; and
c) other third-party sources may carry their own terms and attribution requirements, which we will notify to you.

Where you reproduce or publish material that includes such data, you must give the attribution the relevant licence requires. Nothing in Section 3.2(c), Section 5.5 or Section 9 purports to restrict rights granted to you directly by an open licence, or to claim ownership of openly licensed source data.

6. Your Content

6.1 You retain all rights in the data, files, queries and other materials you submit to the Beta Service ("Your Content"). Your Content excludes Hausfuchs Data and Outputs.

6.2 You grant Hausfuchs a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt and display Your Content for the purposes of operating, securing, supporting and improving the Beta Service and analysing its performance during the Beta Program.

6.3 You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and to grant the above licence, and that Your Content does not infringe the rights of any third party or violate applicable law.

7. Feedback

7.1 We encourage you to provide feedback, comments, bug reports, suggestions and ideas relating to the Beta Service ("Feedback"). Participation in the Beta Program may be conditional on providing Feedback on reasonable request, including by responding to in-product surveys.

7.2 You grant Hausfuchs a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence to use, modify and exploit your Feedback for any purpose connected with the Hausfuchs service. You keep ownership of your Feedback and of any intellectual property rights in it, and this licence does not affect any moral rights you hold.

7.3 We are free to use, implement or ignore Feedback at our discretion, with no obligation of compensation, attribution or confidentiality towards you in respect of the Feedback.

8. Confidentiality

8.1 During the Beta Program you may see features, data, designs or plans that we have not made public. Please do not share these with anyone outside the Beta Program, and please do not publish screenshots or recordings of non-public features, while the Beta Program is running.

8.2 This does not stop you from:

a) telling anyone that you are taking part in the Beta Program;
b) describing your own honest opinion and experience of the Beta Service, including in a public review; or
c) disclosing anything that is already public, that you already knew, that you receive lawfully from someone else, or that you are required by law or a competent authority to disclose.

8.3 This Section 8 applies for one (1) year after your participation in the Beta Program ends.

9. Intellectual Property Rights

9.1 Subject to Section 5.6, all intellectual property rights, including copyright, trademarks, patents, know-how, trade secrets, database rights (including sui generis database rights) and any other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as well as applications for the same, relating to the Beta Service, the Hausfuchs Data derived or modelled by Hausfuchs, the Outputs and all related documentation ("Intellectual Property Rights"), belong to Hausfuchs or its licensors. We claim no ownership of third-party source data that reaches you under an open licence.

9.2 No title in, licence to, or other right in the Intellectual Property Rights is granted to you other than the limited right of access expressly set out in Section 3. For the avoidance of doubt, participation in the Beta Program grants no right to use the Beta Service beyond the Purpose and no right of any kind after the Beta Program ends.

10. Usage Data, Product Analytics and Session Recording

Please read this section carefully. The Beta Service is instrumented more extensively than a commercially released product would be. Observing how participants actually use the service is one of the main reasons the Beta Program exists.

10.1 Analytics provider. We use PostHog (provided by PostHog, Inc.) as our product analytics and session recording platform. PostHog processes usage data on our behalf as a processor under a data processing agreement. Our PostHog instance is hosted in the European Union.

10.2 What we collect. In connection with your use of the Beta Service we collect, among other things:

a) Product and event analytics — pages and views you open, buttons and controls you click, features and tools you use, searches and queries you run (including the content of those queries), map and layer interactions, areas and properties you view, reports and Outputs you generate, and the timing, sequence, frequency and duration of these actions;

b) Automatically captured interface interactions — interactions with elements of the interface are captured automatically rather than being individually pre-defined;

c) Session recordings (session replay) — reconstructions of your session that allow us to replay how you navigated the interface, including page content rendered to you, cursor movement, scrolling, clicks and the timing of input. Session recording runs only if you have consented to it, which we ask you for when you register; once given, it is on by default for your account. We mask password fields and the further fields listed in Appendix A by default; other on-screen content may be captured;

d) Feature flags and experiments — records of which variants, features or rollouts were enabled for you, so that we can compare behaviour between groups;

e) Surveys and in-product prompts — your responses to surveys, ratings and prompts shown inside the Beta Service;

f) Heatmaps and aggregate interaction maps — aggregated views of where participants click, scroll and dwell;

g) Error, diagnostic and performance data — errors, stack traces, console output, latency, and the state of the application at the time of a failure;

h) Technical and device data — IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen dimensions, language settings, referring URL, and identifiers stored in cookies or in your browser's local storage; and

i) Account identifiers — your user ID, your email address, and your organisation if you provided one, which we associate with the above so that usage can be linked to an identified participant profile.

10.3 Why we collect it. We use this data to: operate, secure, debug and stabilise the Beta Service; reproduce and diagnose problems you report; measure feature adoption, drop-off and usability; understand usage patterns and how the service performs in real use; decide what to build, change or remove; run experiments; contact you about your usage or to request Feedback; and produce internal and aggregated statistics.

10.4 Legal basis. For analytics that are necessary to provide and secure the Beta Service, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating, securing and improving a service that participants have voluntarily joined. For session recording, and for cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for a service you have expressly requested, we rely on your consent, which we ask for as a separate, explicit step when you register and which you may withdraw at any time at /privacy-settings or by contacting <privacy@hausfuchs.com>. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

10.5 Session recording is part of taking part, and it is on from the moment you join. The Beta Program exists so that we can observe how the service is actually used; session recording is central to that, not an optional extra. We ask for your consent to it as a separate, explicit step when you register, and once you give it, recording is switched on for your account and stays on. Basic event and error logging is likewise necessary to run the Beta Program. If you would prefer not to be recorded, please do not join the Beta Program — declining costs you nothing, and nothing else we offer depends on it.

You may withdraw your consent at any time at /privacy-settings or by contacting <privacy@hausfuchs.com>. Withdrawal stops further recording immediately and does not affect the lawfulness of what was recorded beforehand. Because observation is the purpose of the Beta Program, withdrawing also ends your participation in it; we will tell you this before you confirm, so the choice is never a surprise.

10.6 Please do not enter confidential or sensitive information into free-text fields. We mask by default as described in Appendix A, but because session recordings and event data may capture on-screen content and the text of queries, you should not enter into the Beta Service any special category personal data, any third-party personal data you are not entitled to share, or any information you or a third party would not want recorded. This is a precaution in addition to, not instead of, our own obligation to protect your data by design and by default.

10.7 Aggregated and anonymised data. We may create aggregated statistics from usage data and retain and use them indefinitely, including after the Beta Program ends, for any lawful business purpose. Aggregated statistics are counts and summary measures computed across participants; they contain no session recordings, no free-text query content and no identifiers, and they cannot be used to single you out.

10.8 Retention. Usage data and session recordings are retained for 12 months and then deleted or anonymised, unless a longer period is required for security, legal or accounting purposes.

11. Personal Data and Privacy

11.1 Each party shall comply with applicable data protection law, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and Finnish law implementing it.

11.2 Controller. In respect of your account data, your Feedback and the usage data described in Section 10, Hausfuchs Oy is the controller. Our processing is described in our Privacy Policy at /privacy, which forms part of these Terms.

11.3 Do not submit other people's personal data. The Beta Service is not set up for you to process personal data about other people. Please do not enter personal data about anyone other than yourself.

11.4 Sub-processors. We use sub-processors to deliver the Beta Service. At the date of these Terms they are:

A current list is maintained at /subprocessors. We will update it before adding or replacing a sub-processor.

11.5 Transfers outside the EEA. Our infrastructure is located in the EEA. Where a sub-processor is established outside the EEA, or where personal data may otherwise be accessed from outside the EEA, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses together with supplementary technical and organisational measures, or on an adequacy decision where one applies. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards at <privacy@hausfuchs.com>.

11.6 Your rights. You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection set out in the GDPR. To exercise them, contact <privacy@hausfuchs.com>. You may also lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).

11.7 Transfer to Hausfuchs Oy. Where the Hausfuchs business is transferred to Hausfuchs Oy, controllership of the personal data described in this Section will transfer to Hausfuchs Oy, and we will notify you before that transfer takes effect.

12. Fees

The Beta Service is provided free of charge during the Beta Program, unless separately agreed in writing. Free access during the Beta Program creates no entitlement to free or discounted access to any commercial version.

13. What We Do and Do Not Promise

13.1 The Beta Service is pre-release software offered free of charge for evaluation. We provide it with reasonable care and skill, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any Output will be accurate. Sections 4 and 5 describe what you should expect.

13.2 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits your rights under mandatory Finnish consumer protection law, including your rights in respect of a digital service that does not conform to what was agreed. If the Beta Service does not conform, you may contact us at <support@hausfuchs.com> and we will address the problem, and you retain whatever remedies the law gives you.

13.3 The disclaimers in Section 5 about Outputs — that they are estimates, that they are not a valuation, survey or professional advice, and that you must verify independently before relying on them — remain important and apply to you. They describe what the service is, not a limitation of your rights.

14. Liability

14.1 We are liable to you for loss we cause you as Finnish law provides. We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury, for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or for any liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law.

14.2 To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, business or anticipated savings. Because the Beta Service is provided free of charge and is expressly pre-release, this will be taken into account in assessing any claim, as Finnish law allows.

14.3 You are liable to us for loss you cause us intentionally or by negligence through breach of these Terms, as Finnish law provides. You are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

14.4 Each of us must take reasonable steps to limit our own loss.

15. Term, Suspension and Termination

15.1 These Terms take effect when you first accept them or access the Beta Service, and continue until the Beta Program ends or your participation is terminated.

15.2 You may stop participating and terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing use and closing your account or notifying us at <support@hausfuchs.com>.

15.3 We may end the Beta Program, or your participation in it, at any time. Except where we terminate for your breach of these Terms or for a security or legal reason, we will give you at least fourteen (14) days' notice by email so that you can retrieve your content under Section 15.5.

15.4 Unless earlier terminated, the Beta Program and these Terms expire automatically on the earlier of: (a) the date a separate written agreement covering your use of the Hausfuchs service takes effect; or (b) twelve (12) months from the date you accept these Terms.

15.5 Getting your content back. On termination or expiry your right of access ceases. If you ask us within 30 days, we will make available to you, free of charge and within a reasonable time, in a commonly used and machine-readable format, the content you provided or created using the Beta Service. This does not apply to content that has no use outside the Beta Service, that relates only to your activity within it, or that we cannot separate from other data without disproportionate effort. After that period we may delete your content and account data.

15.6 Sections 5, 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 10.7, 10.8, 11, 13, 14, 15.5, 16, 17 and 18 survive termination or expiry.

16. Changes to These Terms and to the Beta Service

16.1 We may change the Beta Service and these Terms during the Beta Program, but only for one of the following reasons, which we specify here so that you know in advance what can change and why:

a) to develop, test or improve features as part of the beta evaluation, which is the purpose of the Beta Program;
b) to fix defects, or to maintain security, stability or performance;
c) to reflect a change in the data sources or third-party services the Beta Service depends on;
d) to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, or a decision of a competent authority; or
e) to reflect the transfer of the Hausfuchs business described in Section 17.1.

16.2 Changes will not cost you anything.

16.3 We will tell you about any change in a clear and understandable way. Where a change adversely affects your ability to access or use the Beta Service other than to a minor extent, we will tell you in advance, by email, in good time before it takes effect, and the notice will describe what is changing, when, and your right under Section 16.4.

16.4 If such a change adversely affects your access or use other than to a minor extent, you may terminate these Terms free of charge within 30 days of receiving the notice or of the change taking effect, whichever is later. Section 15.5 then applies. You do not have this right if we give you the option of keeping the Beta Service unchanged at no extra cost.

17. General

17.1 Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms or your account to anyone else. Hausfuchs may transfer these Terms to another company in connection with a merger, reorganisation or sale of the Hausfuchs business. We will notify you before any such transfer takes effect, and if you do not wish to continue with the new provider you may terminate these Terms free of charge, with Section 15.5 applying. A transfer will not reduce your rights under these Terms or under law.

17.2 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any documents referred to in them, constitute the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the Beta Program and supersede all prior discussions and understandings on the subject. Where you and Hausfuchs have entered into a separate non-disclosure agreement or other written agreement that specifically covers the same confidential information, the terms of that agreement prevail in respect of that information.

17.3 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, that provision does not apply and the rest of these Terms continues in force unchanged.

17.4 No waiver. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

17.5 No partnership. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between the parties.

17.6 Notices. Notices to Hausfuchs shall be sent to <hello@hausfuchs.com>. Notices to you may be sent to the email address registered on your account or delivered through the Beta Service.

17.7 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performing its obligations, other than an obligation to pay, caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including natural disaster, war, civil unrest, industrial action, epidemic, failure of a public telecommunications network or electricity supply, or an act of a public authority. The affected party shall notify the other without undue delay and use reasonable efforts to resume performance.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

18.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, excluding its rules on conflict of laws.

18.2 If you live in Finland, you may bring proceedings in the district court of the place where you live, or in the District Court of Helsinki. We will bring any proceedings against you in the district court of the place where you live. If you live in another EU or EEA country, the courts of your country of residence apply and the law of your country of residence gives you protections that these Terms do not reduce.

18.3 Before going to court, you can refer a dispute to the Finnish Consumer Disputes Board (kuluttajariitalautakunta, www.kuluttajariita.fi). Before doing so, please contact the Consumer Advisory Service (www.kkv.fi/kuluttajaneuvonta). You are welcome to contact us first at <support@hausfuchs.com> — we would rather solve the problem directly.

Appendix A — Session recording: what we mask

Session recording is enabled only with your consent (Section 10.4). When it runs, the following are masked at capture time in your browser, so their contents never reach us or our analytics provider:

What is not masked, and may therefore be captured: page layout and navigation, map and layer state, the areas and properties displayed to you, Outputs rendered on screen, cursor movement, scrolling, clicks, and the timing of input.

If you believe something sensitive is being captured that should be masked, tell us at <privacy@hausfuchs.com> and we will add it to this list.
