We have a legitimate business interest to use the personal information we collect from you if you engage in any business activity with us or through the site. Where we have relied on your consent, if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information as a basis for further contact with you (by accessing our opt-out procedure described below), we will respect your wishes.

In order to keep our users informed about our latest news, products and services, we may, subject to applicable law, send e-mails and marketing communications to the email addresses provided to us while registering on the site or requesting information from us. Please be aware that we do sometimes send marketing communications that promote a third party’s products and services (for example, those of our business affiliates) as well as our own. If you elect to opt–in to any of our email lists, newsletters or other promotional offerings and later decide that you no longer wish to receive such newsletters or promotional e-mail from us, you may unsubscribe by following the instructions contained in each email we send to you (or use the opt-out procedure described below).

- Anonymizing personal information and preparing and furnishing aggregated data reports showing anonymized information;

- Information Provided to Us About You by Third Parties
Third-Party Links:
When using the site, you may click through certain links or promotions that will enable you to purchase products or use services provided by our affiliates. Some of these affiliates may share certain information that you provide to them with us. By clicking on and through to a link or promotion on our site, you agree to allow us to receive and to use any information (except for credit card information) that you may provide to our affiliates, under the same terms and conditions as if you provided your information directly to us. We are not, however, responsible for any other website, or their respective privacy policy or how they treat information about their users. We strongly advise you to review their privacy policies to find out how they are treating your personal information.
Third Party Usage:
You may also separately share your information with other websites or entities, such as those that offer products or services through the site that you contact, or those that create professional marketing lists to receive special offers and promotions from their affiliates. These websites or entities may agree to share your information with us. Whether any third party actually shares your information with us and to what extent they do share your information with us will depend on their agreement with us and their respective privacy policies. ICRE is not responsible for and will assume no liability if any third party or other website or entity collects, uses or shares, any information about you in violation of its own privacy policy or applicable law.
Marketing Data:
We may purchase marketing data from third parties and add it to our existing user database to better target our advertising and to provide pertinent offers in which we think you would be interested. We may also associate this marketing data to the personally identifiable information that you provide to us.
- Personal Information We Share
Vendors:
We may share your personal information with companies acting as our authorized agents in providing our services (e.g., customer/support services), or third party vendors that provide other products or services incidental to our services (e.g., information, escrow and title services). We will take reasonable precautions to assure the protection of your personal information in the possession of our authorized agents. To the extent you authorize or contract for the purchase of products or services by third parties through the site, you agree that we may use and share your information for those purposes, and that the protection and use of your personal information by those vendors shall be subject to their privacy policies. It is solely your responsibility to ascertain and to take any actions that you deem necessary to protect your personal information in the possession of third party vendors with whom you contract from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. Because we operate globally, we may transfer your information to countries or jurisdictions that do not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which you are based. More information on International Data Transfers of your personal information is below.
Objections:
When we share your personal information for our legitimate interests, you may be able to object to this disclosure. Please be aware that, when you object to disclosure of your personal information for our legitimate interests, it may affect the services we provide to you. More information on Your Rights is below.
Successors:
In the event that ICRE is merged, or in the event of a transfer of our assets, the site, or our operations, we may disclose or transfer your personal information in connection with such transaction. In the event of such a transfer, we will notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice on the site for thirty (30) days of any such change in ownership of ICRE resulting in a change of control of your personal information. We may also share your personal information with our affiliates in order to provide or offer services to you.
Legally Compelled Disclosure:
We will also disclose your personal information when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement agency’s requirements, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing your personal information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (whether intentionally or unintentionally) to our rights or property or the rights or property of others.

B. Cookie Policy
- Automatic Data Collection
What is a Cookie: A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your personal computer, telephone or any other device, with information about your navigation on that website. Cookies facilitate browsing and to make it more user-friendly. A cookie contains the name of the server it came from, the expiry of the cookie, and a value – usually a randomly generated unique number. Cookies do not give access to or damage your computer. By browsing on our site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
- Cookie Use By Us
How we use Cookies:
We use browser session cookies, which are temporary cookies that are erased from your device’s memory when you close your Internet browser or turn your computer off, and persistent cookies, which are stored on your device until they expire, unless you delete them before that time. We group browser cookies on our site into three categories, which you can manage through our Cookie Preference Manager:
- Required cookies: These cookies are necessary to enable the basic features of this site to function, such as identifying you as a valid user, ensuring that no one else can sign on simultaneously with your account from another computer and helping us serve you better based on your registration preferences. These cookies also allow you to select your cookie preferences.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow us to analyze your use of the site to evaluate and improve our performance. They may also be used to provide a better customer experience on this site. For example, providing us information about how our site is used and helping us facilitate any promotions or surveys that we provide.
- Advertising cookies: These cookies may be used to share data with advertisers so that the ads you see are more relevant to you, allow you to share certain pages with social networks, or allow you to post comments on our site.
Cookies Are Not Used to Store Sensitive Data:
The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal information, such as your address, your password, or your credit card data.
- Performance Tracking
We sometimes use cookies, as well as tracking technology, such as web beacons, within the promotional emails that we send to our subscribers or advertisements for our site. These performance tracking devices help us to track whether an e-mail recipient has completed an event, such as signing up for a free trial for example. Such information is non-personally identifying and collected on an aggregate level. We sometimes utilize third party service providers to help us track the activity within our site. These third parties may use temporary cookies and/or web beaconing technology to facilitate such tracking but the data would not be tracked in a personally identifiable way. Third parties whose products or services are accessible on our site may also use cookies, and we advise you to check their privacy policies for information about their cookies and other privacy practices.
If you would like more information about the third party cookies on our website and to find out more about your choice to not have your information used by third parties, please contact us at djm@icre.com.

Cookie Preference Manager:
Our preference manager allows you to restrict our use of cookies other than Required Cookies. If you use our preference manager on a mobile device, we process your device’s Advertising Identifier. When you access our preference manager, session cookies will be set by the ad networks listed in our preference manager to honor your preferences if you choose not to receive interest-based advertising. If you clear your browser cookies, this will remove all cookies including the opt-out cookies set by the companies. You will need to re-access the opt-out tool to reset your preferences. Our cookie only knows your last set of preferences and does not reflect the current state of cookies on your browser.
