1. Permitted Purpose
Acren may be used for legitimate commercial real estate activities such as:
- property research;
- acquisition sourcing;
- ownership research;
- entity research;
- portfolio research;
- commercial lending research;
- brokerage research;
- commercial due diligence support; and
- related business research.
2. Review Before Action
Acren combines information from sources that may differ in quality, timeliness, completeness, and geographic availability.
Data may be incomplete, incorrect, delayed, conflicting, misindexed, or unavailable.
Acren's derived analysis may also be incorrect or uncertain.
Users should review material supporting records and independently verify important information before making consequential decisions.
3. Observed vs. Derived Information
Observed information is information represented in an underlying source.
Derived information is information produced through normalization, matching, relationship analysis, ranking, or other processing.
Candidate and derived relationships must not be represented as confirmed facts without sufficient evidence.
4. Confidence
Confidence values describe Acren's assessment of a specific relationship or research conclusion under the applicable methodology.
They do not measure the general truthfulness of a person, company, property, or record.
Confidence values may themselves be affected by missing, incorrect, stale, or conflicting source information.
5. Research Priority
Research Priority helps order eligible commercial properties for further research.
It is not:
- seller intent;
- a prediction of sale;
- owner motivation;
- investment advice;
- expected return;
- property valuation; or
- a recommendation to transact.
6. Prohibited Consumer Uses
Acren must not be used to determine consumer eligibility for:
- credit;
- employment;
- housing;
- tenancy;
- insurance;
- consumer lending; or
- other FCRA-regulated or analogous purposes.
Acren must not be used as a consumer background-check or screening service.
7. Prohibited Misuse
Users may not use Acren to:
- harass or stalk individuals;
- discriminate unlawfully;
- facilitate unlawful activity;
- intentionally misrepresent candidate information as confirmed fact;
- circumvent source or export restrictions;
- unlawfully redistribute restricted data;
- perform prohibited consumer screening;
- interfere with Acren systems; or
- violate applicable law or third-party rights.
8. Source and Coverage Limitations
Availability varies by:
- geography;
- record class;
- source;
- jurisdiction;
- time period; and
- data provider.
The absence of a record in Acren does not necessarily mean the event, filing, relationship, or condition does not exist.
Missing evidence is not equivalent to negative evidence.
9. Enforcement
Acren may investigate suspected misuse and restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary to enforce this Policy, applicable agreements, or law.
