At XpandRealty.com:
- We promote information privacy principles and fair information practices.

- We do not collect, store, use or disclose personal or domestic credit information about individuals, except in compliance with the credit reporting provisions of the Privacy Act.
- We do not sell or lease personal customer information to anyone.
- We do not disclose personal information (such as your name or postal address) to any third party not defined in this document unless we determine, in good faith, that the law requires it to collect or report debts, in consideration of our property or rights, or in compliance with other regulatory responses.

We may also share information with affiliated companies that service your account or provide you with information about other products or services we offer.
Use of Cookies
Our servers utilize “cookies” stored on your computer to handle member logins and to permit authorized users access to several web servers without re-authenticating. Our servers also use “cookies” to maintain user preferences and to help protect the security of confidential data. Your privacy and security are not compromised when you accept a “cookie” from our website. Unique information is stored to verify the user’s identity for future access to particular features or functionality of the site. For some of these features, we will also retain data that you enter, so that you do not need to re-key the information when you return to the site and attempt to re-use that feature. If you opt to restrict the placement of “cookies” through your browser or any other means, you may be restricted in access to certain parts of this website.
Site Monitoring
In an ongoing effort to monitor usage trends and improve our website, we may opt to collect data such as IP address, domain name, access times, and other technical data. Computer IP addresses are generally linked to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and may be shared with other unique identifiers of the user. This generally available information could be construed as a type of personal information. This information will be used primarily as a research tool to improve the site’s functionality and usefulness. However, at our sole discretion, we reserve the right to utilize this information to investigate users whom we suspect to be acting in violation of this Agreement and/or the Terms and Conditions of our website. This information is intended for internal use only. The release of such data will only occur when authorized by the user or to the extent required by legal process, law, or regulation.
