PRIVACY POLICY Privacy PolicyAttention: At Cushman Inc. we know you care about your personal privacy. Because we care, we have adopted the practices described in this Privacy Policy. You should not access this Site or use our services until you have carefully read this Privacy Policy and agree to the terms and conditions described in it. Our Collection and Use of Your Personal Information We may collect and use information about you which we reasonably believe will help us administer our business or provide products, services or other opportunities to you. Among other things, we may use the information we learn about you to help us personalize and improve the experience you have with us, to respond to your requests and to communicate with you. The types of information we may collect, retain and use include the following: 1. Site Use Information In general, you can visit Cushman’s web site (the “Site”) without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers may collect the IP addresses or domain names of visitors. This information may be aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, etc. Cushman may utilize this information (“behavior profiles”) to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content we offer. We may share with third parties experiential information or other data which does not personally identify users of our Site. This might include product or service preferences of all visitors to our Site, for example. 2. Information You Provide To Us You are not required to register in order to access our Site. However, if you send us an email, or if you contact us to receive information, products or services from us, we may collect profile information from you (“Personally Identifiable Information”). You may provide, for instance, your first and last name, email address, your company name, title, address (i.e., street address, city, state, country and zip/postal code), customer ID, phone number, fax number or product information. You can tell us how you wish to be contacted, whether by email, telephone, fax, or mail. By providing this Personally Identifiable Information to us, you explicitly agree to our collection and usage of such information as described in this Privacy Policy. We may use your Personally Identifiable Information to respond to your inquiries, process an order, contact you regarding account status or customer service, let you know about products or services which may be of interest to you, allow you to access specific account information or for other purposes. You are also consenting to share the Personally Identifiable Information with third parties, so that they may contact you. 3. Cookies We may use “cookies” to help us identify the portions of our Site that may be the most relevant for your needs, and to help us identify other products or services that may be of interest to you or others. A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site can store on your web browser and then retrieve at a later time. We may use cookies to track the portions of our Site you visit. However, we do NOT use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or after you leave our Site. There are products commercially available that are designed to help you disable cookies. Although we want you to be aware that such products exist, please note that if you choose to use them we will not be able to provide you with a personalized service, and it may result in certain features and services not being available to you. 4. Email Communications We may use your email address to contact you to respond to your inquiries or to provide information on products or services to you. To help us determine whether you have received an email from us, and to help us make emails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation that you have opened an email from us. 5. Child Privacy Because of the nature of our business, our products and services are not designed to appeal to minors, and therefore we do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from children. Our terms and conditions of use require that any registration, if required or offered, may only be made by those age 18 or older. If we have reason to believe that information is being provided by a child under the age of 18, Cushman Inc. will not collect the information without parental consent or parent notification, which will include the opportunity for the parent to prevent the use of the information or to prevent the child’s participation in the activity. Without parental consent, online information will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for no other purposes. We recognize that protecting children’s identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents. Disclosing Information to Third Parties Although we are not in the business of selling your Personally Identifiable Information to others, we may share your Personally Identifiable Information with our affiliated companies or third parties. We reveal Personally Identifiable Information about you to unaffiliated third parties if: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to help complete a transaction for you; (3) the information is provided to comply with the law, applicable regulations, court orders or subpoenas, to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements, or to protect our rights, property or safety or the rights, property or safety of our users or others (e.g., to a consumer reporting agency for fraud protection etc.); (4) the disclosure is done as part of a purchase, transfer or sale of services or assets (e.g., in the event that substantially all of our assets are acquired by another party, customer information may be one of the transferred assets); (5) the information is provided to our agents, outside vendors or service providers to perform functions on our behalf (e.g., analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, etc.); or (6) to others as described in this Privacy Policy. We may also gather aggregated data about you and disclose such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to third parties for promotional or other purposes. Security Procedures to Protect Information Our Site does not use security technology to encrypt information you provide to us.
