Century
21 Real Estate LLC Privacy Policy
We at Century 21 Real Estate LLC and the family of companies at Cendant Corporation,
our owner, (referred to as "Century 21 Real Estate LLC" "we," "us," or "our")
recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information")
collected about our customers and prospective customers (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 Century 21 Real Estate Corporation, 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, Century 21 Real Estate LLC gathers two types of information
about
Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration
on our sites; and data Century 21 Real Estate LLC 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 Century 21 Real Estate
LLC 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
Century 21 Real Estate LLC 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 CENTURY 21 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. Usually, the Century
21 Real Estate LLC sites and Century 21 Real Estate Corporation's
service partners use your information to operate the
sites and to deliver services. Century 21 Real Estate
LLC sites also use your information to inform you about
other products or services available from Century 21
Real Estate LLC 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're surfing the Internet
so that your computer can be identified by the main computers,
known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web
pages.
Century 21 Real Estate LLC 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
Century 21 Real Estate Corporation's 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 service, site, customers or others.
Use of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information
that a Web site sends to your computer for record-keeping
purposes, which information is stored in a file on your
computer. Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving
your preferences so that we can use the saved information
to facilitate your use of our Web site when you return
to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual identity
unless you have chosen to provide it to us. We never save
passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use
of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll
find that most major Web sites use them.
By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies
help us see which areas are popular and which are not.
Many improvements and updates to the site are based on
such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed.
This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We
use the information from cookies to provide services better
tailored to our Customers' needs.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or
you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie
is being sent. However, note that some parts of www.SellwithChip.com
and/or its affiliates' services will not function properly
or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For
example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized
preferences, and/or may have difficulty completing marketing
transactions.
Century 21 Real Estate LLC and/or its affiliates have
two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to
specify a Customer's preferences. For example, Customers
can specify keywords across several categories or markets
so you don't have to tell us repeatedly about Real Estate
Services. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' Web
site usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand
our Customers' needs better and improve areas of Century
21 Real Estate Corporation's and/or its affiliates services
that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities
depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling
the cookies via your browser preferences.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers.
Century 21 Real Estate LLC and/or its affiliates do not
control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent
by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
With whom does Century 21 Real Estate LLC share my Information?
As a general rule, Century 21 Real Estate LLC will not
disclose any specific personal information that you submit

promotions offer opportunities to request additional information
from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give
Century 21 Real Estate LLC permission to transfer your
Personal Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill
your request. In many instances, only your e-mail address
will be shared. If more Personal Information will be shared
with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.
Third Party & Aggregate Data
From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity
to receive materials or special offers from third parties.
If you opt to receive information from these third parties
Century 21 Real Estate LLC will (with your permission)
share your name and e-mail address with such third parties.
Under confidentiality agreements, Century 21 Real Estate
LLC may match Personal Information with third party data.
Also, Century 21 Real Estate LLC may keep track of what
portions of the Web site Customers are visiting and other
Customer statistics, and aggregate this information to
help us create a better experience for users of our Web
site. This is all done without knowing your name or other
Personal Information in order to describe our viewers and
services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other
third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other
Century 21 Real Estate LLC may also disclose account Information
in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing
this Information is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be violating Century

or may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally
or unintentionally) with any of Century 21 Real Estate
Corporation's rights or property, other Century 21 Real
Estate LLC Customers, or anyone else Century 21 Real Estate
LLC may disclose or access account Information when we
believe in good faith that the law requires it and for
administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary
to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
How can you control the usage of Information?
In case you change your mind or some Personal Information
changes (such as your zip code or e-mail address), we will
try to provide a way to correct, update or remove the Personal
Information that you give us. We also give you the opportunity
to control the communications we direct to you. We offer
Customers the opportunity to "opt out" of having
Personal Information shared with parties outside of Century

hyperlink or be directed to other sites that are beyond
our control and/or outside our service. For example, if

such sites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their
contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to
place on such sites Century 21 Real Estate Corporation's
and/or its affiliates' inclusion of hyperlinks to these

their Customers' information and privacy, we cannot guarantee

Is my Information secure from others using the
www.SellwithChip.com site?
The security of all information associated with our Customers
is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing
secure transmission of your information from your computer

result, while we strive to protect your information, Century

the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls
and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does
not exist on the Internet.
