Introduction
We at Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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 Exclusive Realty
Group, Inc. 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.
What Information Does Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. Collect?
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. gathers data that Customers
provide through optional, voluntary registration on our site.
Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit
Customers' needs better. However, be assured that Exclusive
Realty Group, Inc. 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.
Please note that when you submit a request through this website
to be contacted by Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. or one of
our affiliates, Sales Representatives, and/or to obtain
information regarding a property listing or requesting
information for any of our services, your Personal Information
will be submitted directly to Exclusive Realty Group, Inc.
and/or affiliates, and we do not control, nor are we responsible
for, the use and handling of such information by such affiliate
and/or representative.
How Does Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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 Exclusive Realty
Group, Inc. uses your information to operate the sites and
to deliver services.
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. site also uses your
information to inform you about other products or services
available in our company and/or 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.
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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 yours 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 Exclusive Realty Group, Inc.
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.
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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 certain features in the home you are
seeking. 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 Exclusive Realty
Group, Inc. 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.
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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.

Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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

third parties, Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. will (with

third parties. Under confidentiality agreements, Exclusive

party data. Also, Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. 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: Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our contractual
obligations, Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. may also
disclose account Personal Information or other information about
you if required to do so by law, court order, or as requested by
a governmental or law enforcement authority, or under the

prosecutions, or in special cases when we have reason to believe
that disclosing this Information is necessary or advisable,
including but not limited to, the following situations: to
perform, maintain or enforce contracts our customer,
Franchisees, or others; to protect the rights or property of
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. our affiliates, employees,
service providers, customers or others; to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating

service, or may be causing injury to or interference (either

What Happens When You Link to a Third Party Site?
You should be aware that when you are on Exclusive Realty
Group, Inc.'s and/or its affiliates' sites you could
hyperlink or be directed to other sites that are beyond our
control and/or outside our service. For example, if you "click"
on a link to a sales office website, or to a banner
advertisement or a Exclusiverg.com search result, the "click"
may transfer you off the Exclusiverg.com site. These other sites
may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may
use Exclusive Realty Group, Inc.'s and/or its affiliates'
logo as part of a co-branding agreement. Franchisee sites and
these other sites may send their own cookies to Customers,
collect data, or solicit Information.
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. and its affiliates do not
control Franchisee and sales office sites or such other third
party sites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their
contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place
on such sites.
Exclusive Realty Group, Inc.'s and/or its affiliates'
inclusion of hyperlinks to these sites do not imply any
endorsement of the material on such sites or any association
with their operators. Exclusive Realty Group, Inc.'s
policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the
operation of the Internet, which is beyond Exclusive Realty
Group, Inc.'s and its affiliates' control.
Once you link to a third party web site and leave our Web Site,
your interaction with these third party web sites will no longer
be governed by our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy. These third
party web sites may have separate privacy and data collection
practices, and security measures. Given that we have no control
over these third party web sites, we have no responsibility or
liability for the practices, policies and security measures
implemented by such third parties on their web sites. We
encourage you to contact these third parties to ask questions
about their terms of use, privacy practices, policies and
security measures before disclosing Personally Identifiable
Information on linked web sites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information
online (for example, via message boards or chat) that
information can be collected and used by people you don't know.
While Exclusive Realty Group, Inc. and its affiliates
strive to protect their Customers' information and privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose
online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.

Is My Information Secure From Others Using the Exclusive
Realty Group Site?
The security of all information associated with our Customers is
an important concern to us. We exercise reasonable care in
providing secure transmission of your information from your
