Our Commitment to Privacy
Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to
combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest level of
integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy is designed to
assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal
information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions
when using our site and our products and services. This statement will be
continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our
customers' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an
aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide
Personal Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners, you may
need to give personal information to enable us to fulfill your request. For
example, you may need to provide the following information:
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners, if you
choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain the content
of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We
provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ
in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and
Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date
and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web
sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This information is
collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with
you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You
Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our
business activities, providing customer service and making available other
products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. The lists used to send you product and service offers are developed
and managed under our traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the
security and privacy of our customers’ personal information. As a customer, you
will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these
offers.
What Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server logs to
gather information about our Web site users’ browsing activities, in order to
constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. This
information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most
user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet the
needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our Web
site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count
how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email
address or any personally identifying information about you although they do
permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses
to you.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
From time to time you may notice offers from outside companies
advertised on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service
providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their
customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and
policies of these companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic
Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your name,
address, telephone number and email for the purpose of providing you
information regarding products and services that we think will be of interest
to you. In connection with strategic marketing alliances or partnerships, we
will retain all ownership rights to the information, and we will not share
information regarding your social security number or other personal financial
data.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you
will find valuable. As our client, you will be given the opportunity to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a response box
when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request at
privacy@estates24.com
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our Web
site, secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information
you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and
decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that
security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information.
For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as
Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security: We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the
confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or
disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices: Periodically, our operations
and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and
procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our
information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations: Our corporate values,
ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of
customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee access
to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such
information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You
Access and Correct Your Information? You may request access to all your
personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our
database by emailing privacy@estates24.com
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
