5. Consent To Collection, Use and Disclosure

Subject to legal and contractual requirements, you may refuse or withdraw your consent to the use, storage or disclosure of your personal information for certain of the identified purposes at any time by contacting NRT’s Privacy Officer. If you refuse to consent or withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide to you, or continue to provide to you, certain services or information or to include your information in our consumer research. If you provide NRT or our service providers and agents with personal information of another individual, you represent that you have all necessary authority and/or have obtained all necessary consents from that person to enable us to collect, use and disclose the personal information provided for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.

There are circumstances where collection, use or disclosure may be justified or permitted, or where we are obliged to disclose personal information without your consent. These circumstances could include:

• Where the information is publicly available;
• Where we are required to do so by law or by order of a court or tribunal;
• Where we believe, upon reasonable grounds, that there is an imminent risk to an identifiable person or group of death or serious bodily harm;
• Where it is alleged that a member, associate or employee of NRT is guilty of a criminal offence, or is civilly liable in a legal action or other misconduct;/li>
• Where it is necessary to establish or collect fees.

In these circumstances, we will not collect, use or disclose more personal information than is required.

6. Storage, Security and Protection Of Personal Information

NRT endeavours to maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security over our offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification of personal information. Your personal information may be stored in secured physical locations and on computer network servers controlled by NRT located either at our offices or at the offices of our service providers. To help protect the confidentiality of your personal information, NRT employs physical, administrative and technological safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of your personal information. For instance, we use secure computer data networks protected by industry standard firewalls and password protection systems. In addition, where personal information is sent to a third party for processing, we make sure, through our arrangements with them, that all personal information is kept secure.

7. Retention

It is our practice to retain our files, and the personal information contained therein for a reasonable period of time. This retention policy was developed due to tax, regulatory and business needs, as well as for the benefit of our clients. We will keep personal information only as a long as it is necessary, including for the purposes stated herein or as required by law. When the personal information is no longer required, it will be shredded or otherwise deleted or destroyed.

Upon receiving a written request, and subject to any applicable exemptions, NRT will inform you of its then currently-held version of your personal information and will give you access to that information and the opportunity to correct any errors in it. Access requests should be sent to our Privacy Officer, using the contact information provided below.

NRT endeavours to maintain the accuracy of all personal information on active matters. Personal information contained in closed files is not actively updated or maintained.

We encourage our clients, contractors and consumers participating in any of our market research efforts to notify NRT of any changes to their personal information we have in our possession.

9. Changes to the Privacy Policy

NRT reserves the right to modify or supplement this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make a change to this Privacy Policy, we will post such changes on our website and, if requested, provide a physical copy to you. However, NRT will obtain the necessary consents required under applicable privacy laws if it seeks to collect, use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those to which consent has been obtained unless otherwise required or permitted by law.
