Use of Your Information
In order to keep our users informed about our latest news, products and services, and for administrative purposes such as future enhancing of this Site to meet your business needs, we may send e-mails and announcements to your personal email address that you provided to us while registering on our Site. If you elected to opt–in to any of our email lists and later decide that you no longer wish to receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from us, you may unsubscribe from such list by following the instructions contained in each email we send to you to unsubscribe from such e-mail list. We may use your personal information for advertising, marketing and promotional purposes but we will always at least give you an opportunity to opt-out of this at the time we collect the data and later as described below.
Your Rights
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by following the instructions on the pages where we collect your data.
You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us. If you object to the use of your data in any of the ways we have detailed in this Privacy Policy and/or you object to us contacting you by the methods referred to above, then please contact us.
You have the right, pursuant to the Act, to ask for a copy of the personal data that we hold about you (for which we may charge a small fee) and to correct any inaccuracies. To obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you, please contact us.
Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your personal information with companies acting as our authorised agents in providing our service (e.g., credit card processing, customer/support services) to you, all of which agree to use it only for such specified purposes. Each vendor must agree to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of your information in order to protect your personal information from unauthorised 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.
If we make such a transfer, we will, or our vendors will, as applicable, provide for the proper safeguards required by applicable law to ensure that your information is protected. In the event that CBRE is merged, or in the event of a transfer of our assets, Site or operations, CBRE may disclose or transfer your personal information in connection with such transaction. In the event of such a transfer, CBRE will notify you via email or by posting a prominent notice on our Site for 30 days of any such change in ownership of CBRE resulting in a change of control of your personal information.
We will also disclose your personal information when required to do so by law, 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) our rights or property.
Cross Border Transfers
CBRE Inc. has executed Model Clauses in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC with respect to certain Personal Information collected by our affiliates and corporate clients located in the European Economic Area and Switzerland and transferred to CBRE Inc. in the United States.

Security and Storage of Your Information
CBRE endeavours to protect the security of your personal information and your choices for its intended use. We use Secure Socket Layers or SSL technology to protect the transmission of sensitive personal information such as your credit card number. We store your personal information on a secure server, and use procedures designed to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. Although we will take (and require our third-party providers to take) commercially reasonable security precautions regarding your personal information collected from and stored on the Site, due to the open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any of your personal information stored on our servers, or transmitted to or from a user, will be free from unauthorised access. By using the Site, you acknowledge that any transmission is at your own risk.
