We collect your

We collect Personal Information from you only when you voluntarily submit it in
order to obtain certain services or information, including (A) registrations for

associate; (C) requests to contact us; (D) requests to receive periodic
industry updates; (E) requests to email a listing to a friend; (F) applications

Requests

If you submit a
request through this Site to find or list a property or to find a sales
associate, you will be asked to provide Personal Information and we refer this
information to Franchisees or sales associates to respond to your request. For
example, if you ask that we list your property or if you ask to see more
listings in a given area, you will be directed to a Franchisee in that area.
Contacting
Us
If you contact us, we
collect Personal Information, which is retained or referred to an independent
Franchisee or sales associate depending on the nature of your inquiry. If you
are looking for a property or a sales associate, it is referred to a Franchisee
or sales associate; if your inquiry or complaint requires a response from us,

2.
Collection of Non-Personal Information
Even if you do not
send us any Personal Information, we collect information about how you use our
site ("Non-Personal Information"). This information cannot be used to
identify you personally and is explained in more detail below under
"Non-Personal Information".
Cookies
A cookie is a small
data file, often including an anonymous unique identifier, that is sent from a
web site's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Use of cookies is
common on the Internet. A web site can send its own cookie to your browser if
your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser
permits a web site to access only the cookies it has already sent to you, not
the cookies sent to you by other sites. You can configure your browser to
accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent.
(Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser
to learn how to change your cookie preferences.) You can reset your browser to
refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. But if you refuse
cookies, some parts of the Site will not function properly and may not provide
services or information you have requested. For example, without cookies, we
will not be able to provide you with searches that you have asked us to save.
Non-Personal
Information
Like many sites, we
obtain Non-Personal Information such as IP (internet protocol) addresses,
browser types, the name of your ISP (internet service provider), information
about where a user comes from before arriving at our Site, what pages a user
visits, the order of those pages, and the amount of time spent on each. A
vendor performs this service for us by sending a cookie to gather this
information, compile it, and report to us. We use Non-Personal Information to
customize the advertising and content you see, improve our services, conduct
research, and provide anonymous aggregated reporting for internal audits and
third-parties.
Advertising
Networks
We send to your web
browser some of the advertisements you see when you use our network of web
sites. However, we also allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or
ad networks, to serve advertisements within our web pages. Because your web
browser must request these advertising banners from the ad network web site,
these companies can send their own cookies to your cookie file, just as if you
had requested a web page from the web site. Please note that if an advertiser
asks us to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages
18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed sports
content) and you respond to that ad, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude
that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. As
always, remember we authorize our third-party ad servers to employ anonymous cookies
only for ad delivery and anonymous targeting. Our third-party ad servers do not
collect, nor do we give them access, to any Personal Information about you.
Opting
Out of Third-Party Ad Servers
If you want to prevent
a third-party ad server from sending and reading cookies on your computer,
currently you must visit each ad network's web site individually and opt out
(if they offer this capability).
3.

with which we have a marketing relationship, and to provide you a customer
survey to assess your satisfaction with our services and products. We may allow
others to provide audient measurement and analytics services for us, to serve
advertisements on our behalf, and to track and report on the performance of
those advertisements. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, and
other technologies to identify your device when you use the Site, as well as
when you visit other online sites and services, and such services will be
covered by the privacy policy of the respective third parties. We use Google
