Notice of Collection and Additional Rights for California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA") permits you to request information, no more than once per calendar year, regarding the disclosure of your Personal Data by us to third parties, including for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Furthermore, California residents have the following rights with respect to Personal Data we may have collected about them:

‍

Categories of Personal Information Collected

In the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email address, phone number, and IP address); commercial information (such as property preferences and transaction history); internet or electronic network activity (such as browsing history and interactions with our Site); geolocation data (such as city and state derived from IP address); professional or employment-related information (if provided); inferences drawn from the above (such as preferences and characteristics); and sensitive personal information (only if voluntarily provided, such as account credentials).

‍

(i) Requests to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose to you: the categories of Personal Data we have collected about you; the categories of Personal Data about you we have sold or disclosed for a business purpose; the categories of sources from which we have collected Personal Data about you; the business or commercial purposes for selling or collecting Personal Data about you; the categories of Personal Data sold or shared about you, as well as the categories of third parties to whom the Personal Data was sold, by category of Personal Data for each party to whom Personal Data was sold; the specific pieces of Personal Data collected; and how long your Personal Data is retained.

‍

You may submit a request to know to the address or email address indicated in Section 12. The delivery of our response may take place electronically or by mail. We are not required to respond to requests to know more than twice in a 12-month period.

‍

(ii) Requests to Delete or Correct

You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Data about you that we have collected, or correct Personal Data that we have about you that is inaccurate. Upon receiving a verified request to delete personal data, we will do so unless otherwise authorized by law.

‍

(iii) Authorized Agents You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. You must provide an authorized agent written permission to submit a request on your behalf, and we may require that you verify your identity directly with us. Alternatively, an authorized agent that has been provided power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000-4465 may submit a request on your behalf.

‍

(iv) Methods for Submitting Consumer Requests and Our Response to Requests

You may submit a request to know and requests to delete Personal Data about you via email at derrick.krueger@compass.com or at the mailing address provided in Section 12.

‍

Upon receipt of a request, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. Any additional information you provide will be used only to verify your identity and not for any other purpose. We will acknowledge the receipt of your request within ten (10) business days of receipt. Subject to our ability to verify your identity, we will respond to your request within 45 calendar days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

‍

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

‍

(v) The Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to be discriminated against for the exercise of your California privacy rights described above.

‍

(vi) Selling and Sharing of Personal Data

We may use your Personal Data for the purposes described in Section 2 of this Policy, and may share your Personal Data as further described in Section 4 of this Policy. California law places certain obligations on businesses that "sell" Personal Data to third parties or "share" Personal Data with third parties for "cross-context behavioral advertising" as those terms are defined under the CCPA.

‍

We may "share" certain personal information (such as device identifiers and browsing activity) with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes as described in Section 5. You have the right to opt out of this sharing. To opt out, you may contact us using the information in Section 12.

‍

We do not "sell" Personal Data as that term is defined under the CCPA.

It may include information about an individual's criminal offenses or convictions, as well as any other information deemed sensitive under applicable data protection laws.

‍

The CCPA provides consumers with the "right to limit" the use of their sensitive personal information to certain business purposes. We do not request sensitive personal information in connection with the use of the Site, except for account credentials which are used only to provide and secure your account.

‍

(viii) How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

We do not track Site users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not currently respond or take any action with respect to web browser "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Data about an individual consumer's online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. However, we do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as valid opt-out requests under the CCPA.
