TREB’S INTERNET PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. Therefore, the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) maintains an Internet privacy policy to protect your personal information on its trebcommercial.com website.

1. Sites Covered By This Policy

Trebcommercial.com includes links to many sites. This privacy policy applies only to those sites which display the TREB Privacy Policy statement. Users should carefully examine the privacy statements of sites appearing on or linking to or from trebcommercial.com which do not display the statement. Personal information that you choose to provide to other sites will be subject to the privacy policies of those sites.

2. The Information We Collect

(a) Site Activity Data

Each time a visitor comes to the trebcommercial.com site, our Web server collects only the visitor’s IP address but not the e-mail address. While TREB itself does not use "cookies", such use is common in the Internet industry. A cookie is a small piece of information that a Web site sends to a visitor’s computer, which is stored on his or her hard drive.

(b) Personal Information

Personal information, such as your name, postal and e-mail address or telephone number is collected only when you voluntarily provide it. Such information is received by TREB only when you send an e-mail through the site, when TREB Members update their personal profile, or when site visitors make some other specific contact such as a response to an on-line survey.

The personal information you provide to TREB is used to update Realtor profiles or is forwarded only to the person or department that is equipped to handle your request and is used only to respond to your inquiry.

3. Restriction On Use Of Information

The data collected is used to help TREB analyze the browsing patterns of its visitors in order to improve the content and design of trebcommercial.com.

Personal information will not be sold to any third parties, nor will such information be added to bulk e-mailing lists.

4. Policy Revisions

Any changes to the TREB Privacy Policy will be promptly communicated on this page. Policy changes will not alter how we handle previously submitted personal information.
