We may use “cookies” to assist in data collection and to track visitor Web Site usage and trends to help us better serve you. The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet web sites; most Internet browsers permit a user to accept, decline or delete cookies.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to make available and to improve our high standard of reliable services. We use such information to:

respond to inquiries or service requests and monitor such responses;
provide information about and market our products or services or those of the RE/MAX franchise network of independently owned offices and their affiliated independent real estate agents;
resolve problems; and
manage Our Web Site and assess its usage.

Disclosure of Information

When you search for a property, we will redirect you to the site of an independently owned and operated RE/MAX franchise office and provide information you have submitted to us, including the parameters of the search, and if you have registered, your contact information, to that office. Similarly, if you request to be contacted by an agent or office or otherwise request information from us, we will disclose the personally identifiable information you provide to appropriate affiliates of RE/MAX to satisfy your request.

We do not sell or rent personally identifiable information to third parties who are not affiliates of the RE/MAX franchise network. We may disclose personally identifiable information to appropriate affiliates of RE/MAX, including strategic alliance affiliates and third party service providers, to respond to a request for service or to provide information about available products or services.

We may share aggregate (non-personally identifiable) information with certain third parties such as advertisers, national industry organizations, and prospective affiliates. In addition, we reserve the right to disclose aggregate information and personally identifiable information to third parties as required or permitted by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights.
