We at Coldwell Banker Commercial^®, a Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation company and the family of companies at Cendant Corporation, our owner, (referred to as "we," "us," or "our") recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about our customers, prospective customers, and affiliates (collectively referred to as "Customers," "you" or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At Coldwell Banker Commercial it is our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect your Information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.

To that end, Coldwell Banker Commercial gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites; and data Coldwell Banker Commercial gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our advertisers understand our audience. Because Coldwell Banker Commercial derives its revenue mainly from advertising and e-commerce, providing such aggregated data is essential to keeping our service free to Customers. However, be assured that Coldwell Banker Commercial will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.

How does COLDWELL BANKER COMMERCIAL collect Information?

• Optional registration

We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register at a site or request information or a service.

Coldwell Banker Commercial sites also use your information to inform you about other products or services available from Coldwell Banker Commercial and its affiliates.

• Usage tracking

Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.

Coldwell Banker Commercial and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When Customers request pages from Coldwell Banker Commercial and/or its affiliates' sites, our servers log the Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or terms of service or to protect our customers, service, site or others.
