Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information.

By booking a consultation, requesting information, engaging our firm for services, or signing up for our newsletter, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including emails, text messages, and phone calls. You may opt out at any time by contacting our office. Learn more about our privacy policy below.

What information do we collect?
Generally, we collect your personal information on a voluntary basis. We collect information from you whenever you signup for our newsletter, book a consultation, request to receive information or hire us for any service.

When doing so, as appropriate, you may be asked to provide us the following information:

• First and last name

Information we collect from third parties.
We may collect or receive personal information about you and your property from third party sources, such as public databases, marketing partners, social media platforms (including from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected), brokers and affiliated agents, and other real estate professionals, and third parties.

For example:

Social media. If you choose to link, create, or log in to your Services account with a social media service (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), or if you engage with a separate app or website that communicates with the Services, we may receive personal information about you or your connections from that service. In many cases you can control what personal information you share with us through privacy settings available on those third-party social media services.

Real estate professionals. If you interact or list a property with a broker, independent agent, or other real estate professional associated with an Anywhere brand, we may receive personal information about you and your property from them, such as your name and property address, listing and contact information, among other things. These real estate professionals may be affiliated with independently owned and operated brokerages, or with an Anywhere company.

Property records. We may collect information about individuals and real estate property through public databases, such as property ownership and tax records maintained by state, local and county agencies.

Aggregate and non-identifiable data.
We may also use and disclose aggregate, anonymous, and other non-identifiable data related to our business for quality control, analytics, research, development and other purposes. Where we use, disclose or process de-identified data (data that is no longer reasonably linked or linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person, household, or personal or household device) we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and not to attempt to reidentify the information, except as permitted by applicable privacy laws (such as to confirm whether our deidentification processes are reasonable and adequate).

What do we do with this information?
Any of the information that we collect from you may be used in one or more of the following ways:

• To personalize your experience (the more information that you provide to us, the better we may be able to respond to your individual needs)
• To improve our website (we continually strive to improve our website and our offerings based on the feedback we receive from you)
• To improve customer service (the information provided by you allows us to respond to your requests in an efficient and timely manner)
• To process transactions (your information will never be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other party for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the product or service purchased)
• To send periodic e-mails, text messages or phone calls (the information you are able to provide us help us narrow down and segment what kinds of e-mails, text messages or phone calls you will receive and how often you receive them; the e-mail address or phone number you provide for order processing may also be used to send you information and updates pertaining to our services to you, as well as information about any company news, updates, related products, upcoming events, and other announcements that we think you might be interested in based on the information you have provided us.
• To administer a contest, promotion, survey, or other site features

Security and how we protect your information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. This includes the engagement of third-party services that have a number of high security measures to meet our privacy policy standards. We use technical, administrative, and physical controls in place to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. Even so, despite our efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable. In the event that the security of your account has been compromised, please immediately notify us.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, such as booking consultations or making payments, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, and/or protect ours or the rights of others rights, property, or safety.

Requests to Opt Out. Our website responds to global privacy control—or “GPC”—signals, which means that if we detect that your browser is communicating a GPC signal, we will process that as a request to opt that particular browser and device out of sales and sharing (i.e., via cookies and tracking tools) on our website. Note that if you come back to our website from a different device or use a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out (or set GPC for) that browser and device as well. (You can also manage your preferences for targeting and other cookies on one of our Websites through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Website.)
