We at CENTURY 21 Access America LLC, (referred to as "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 Access America LLC , 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 Access America LLC gathers two types
of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional,
voluntary registration on our sites; and data CENTURY 21 Access America 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. Because CENTURY 21 Access America LLC bears the costs of providing
services on this Web site, providing such aggregated data is essential to
keeping our service free to Customers. However, be assured that CENTURY 21
Access America 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.

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 Access America LLC sites and CENTURY 21 Access
America LLC 's service partners use your information to operate the sites
and to deliver services. CENTURY 21 Access America LLC sites also use your
information to inform you about other products or services available from
CENTURY 21 Access America LLC and its affiliates |

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 Access America LLC and/or its affiliates collect
IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, and to aggregate
information in order to audit the use of our site. When Customers request pages
from CENTURY 21 Access America LLC '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.Century21.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 Access America LLC and/or its affiliates have two
primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify a Customer's
preferences. For example, our Search function uses them to “remember” the last
town you searched so you do not have to enter it again. 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 Access America LLC
'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.
With whom does CENTURY 21 Access America LLC share
my Information?
As a general rule, CENTURY 21 Access America LLC will not
disclose any specific personal information that you submit to us about you
("Personal Information") in a manner that connects you with the Personal

you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, CENTURY 21 Access
America LLC uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of
your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.
