The kinds of information we collect from you
will vary, depending on how you use the site. It's possible to browse the site
without submitting any Personally Indentifiable Information ("personal
information") at all, but if you choose to take advantage of some of our
products and services, you may be asked to provide information such as a user
name and password, your full name, e-mail address, phone number, address, or,
for certain financial products or services, your Social Security number and
banking information, and for certain e-commerce transactions your credit card
information. Whenever we ask for this kind of information, we strive to provide
a link to this Privacy Policy to help you understand how your personal
information will be used before you decide whether to disclose it.
In addition to the personal information you
choose to submit, our systems are set up to gather certain anonymous data to
help us to better understand how the site are being used and how we can improve
them. This automatically gathered data includes your computer's Internet
Protocol ("IP") address, statistics about how visitors navigate through the
site and information provided through the use of "cookies" (which is described
in more detail below).
The use of your information depends on the
context in which it is collected. Therefore, pay special attention to the
categories below that relate to the features of the site that you wish to
utilize. In addition to using your personal information as set forth below, note
that we may disclose the information that we collect about you when we have
reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to us or to
others, and may also disclose such information when we believe that the law
requires it, such as identifying (but not limited to) violations of our Terms of
Use.
We may link information collected from you
through various means, including information collected automatically and through
the use of cookies and purchase information, or other personal information you
provide to help us offer content, advertisements, products and services that we
believe will be of interest to you, and this information may also be shared
among the site. In addition, we may share this information, in aggregate form,
with our current and potential advertisers so they can present advertisements
more effectively.
If you have indicated that you want to be
contacted by third parties, we may use the information we collect to select
which names to provide to a particular third party in order to present you with
products and services that we believe will be of interest to you, but we will
not disclose this type of information, other than your Contact Information
(information that provides a means of contacting you), to any such third party.
We may use anonymous data automatically
gathered by our servers so that we can understand how to make the site more
convenient and useful to our audience. This information may also be shared among
the site and used for similar purposes. In addition, we may share this
information, in aggregate form, with our current and potential advertisers or
marketing allies so they can try to present advertisements and content more
effectively. We may also use aggregate information to share information with the
public regarding products, services, content or tools that may of interest to
them.
If we sell off a division, merge with another
company or spin off a business, your information may be included in such a
transaction. However if such a transaction occurs we will notify you of the
event and give you an opportunity to respond.
The personal information you provide when
you become a registered user of one of the site is used primarily to help us
customize your online experience. This personal information may also be shared
among the site to make your use of the site more convenient by, for example,
limiting the number of times you have to register with us. Your e-mail address
serves as a unique identifier in our record system, and it is used together with
your password to prevent unauthorized access to any information you choose to
store on the site. The data you give us about your personal preferences and
demographics (e.g., your age, ZIP code, occupation or the like) may be used to
help us offer content, advertisements, products, and services that we believe
will be of interest to you. In addition, we may share this information, in
aggregate form, with our current and potential advertisers so that they can
present advertisements more effectively. If you forget your password for any
registered area of the site, we have an automated password recovery system,
which can be accessed by clicking on the "Forgot Password" link on the sign in
page. Customer Care does not have access to your password. Please note that we
do not knowingly accept or store any Personally Indentifiable Information about
any individual under the age of 13 under any circumstances. If we become aware
that Personally Indentifiable Information regarding an individual under the age
of 13 has been stored, we will promptly delete it from our records.
- You may be required to
submit information about yourself (including contact and financial information),
your home and the products or services you use. This information is stored for
your convenience and will not be used by other parties for marketing purposes
without your consent and then only for the purposes of offering the products or
services that you request (unless you indicate you prefer otherwise). Your
e-mail address serves as a unique identifier in our record system, and it is
used together with your password to prevent unauthorized access to any
information you choose to store on the site. The data you give us about your
personal preferences and other information (e.g., your age, ZIP code, occupation
and the like) may be used to help us offer content, advertisements, products,
and services that we believe will be of interest to you. In addition, we may
share this information, in aggregate form, with our current and potential
advertisers and marketing allies so that they can present advertisements and
services more effectively.
- Unless you specify that you'd prefer not to hear from us, we may also use
the e-mail address you provide at the time of registration to contact you for
promotional or other purposes. You may have these communications terminated at
any time. If you indicate that you're interested in hearing from other
companies, we may also share your Contact Information with such companies for
that purpose. We may have to contact you now and then to inform you of changes
to your service, a change in this Privacy Policy or other administrative
purposes. These administrative e-mails will not contain any advertisements.
The site allow you to use many helpful tools, such as financial and home
improvement calculators, real estate search tools and other tools most of which
will not ask you to disclose any personal information. These tools are for your
benefit, and the information you submit when you use them (typically impersonal
data) is not disclosed to anyone or used for any purpose other than to provide
you with the service you're seeking. However there are several online tools
where we may ask your permission to use the personal information you enter in
order to offer services, products or information that we believe may be of use
to you or to merge such information into your profile registration. When using
such tools you will always be given the opportunity to opt-out of sharing or
storing such information.
You may choose to request products
or services of a more substantial or personal nature when using the site. For
example, you may apply for a loan, request our help in locating a remodeling
contractor, store your preferences for convenience in using the site or make an
online purchase. The information you provide when seeking these services may be
used in the following ways:
- For services provided by the site, the information you submit is used by us
to provide the service you've requested. We may also share this information with
subcontractors, but only to the extent necessary to fulfill your request or to
facilitate your use of their services. For instance, we may use your information
on My We to pre-populate a form to be sent to the provider of a service
you request, but the information will not be transmitted for use in providing
the service by that provider until you choose to submit the information to them.
In addition, we may use the contact information and non-financial order
information you've supplied, such as your e-mail address, as set out in the
registration section, above.
- For products and services offered to you jointly by us and a third party,
your personal information may be shared with or independently gathered by the
third party. In these situations, We will only use your personal
information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, but the third party may use the
information in different ways. You can tell when a product or service is offered
by a third party, because a page of the site will be "co-branded" and will
display the third party's logo and/or name along with our own, or you will be
linked to the third party's site to complete the transaction. Please be aware
that each company we do business with has its own policies regarding the use and
protection of your information that may differ from those outlined in this
Privacy Policy. If you are concerned about how your personal information might
be used or protected by a third party, we encourage you to become familiar with
its Privacy Policy before using the service or requesting the product.
- From time to time, we may wish to use personal information you provide when
requesting a product or service for purposes beyond those listed above. If this
is the case, you will always be notified of the additional use prior to your
submitting the personal information, and you'll be given a chance to opt-out of
that use or to not complete the request for the particular product or service.
You may occasionally see contests, surveys and other features
of the site that ask you to provide us with personal information. When you
choose to respond to these requests, the personal information you offer may be
used for several purposes. These include the uses set out in the registration
section above. They also include providing information to third parties as
necessary for prize fulfillment and other aspects of any contest, sweepstakes,
game or other promotion. If we are going to use your personal information for
any other purpose, we will notify you of that purpose and give you a chance to
opt-out before responding to our survey or participating in our contest,
sweepstakes, game or other promotion. Any contest, sweepstakes, game or other
promotion that is accessible through the Site is governed by specific rules. By
entering any such contest, sweepstakes, game or other promotion, you will become
subject to those rules. We urge you to read the applicable rules, which are
linked from the particular contest, sweepstakes, game or other promotion.
Portions of the site
enable you to send e-mail to us or to third parties (such as Real Estate
Professionals) and to participate in public bulletin boards and discussion
groups. All postings to public bulletin boards and discussion groups become our
property. Whenever you choose to initiate these kinds of communication with us,
or anyone else, you may expect to be contacted in return. Also, remember that
our bulletin boards and discussion groups are open to the public, and therefore,
your postings can be seen by anyone and are not protected by us or any other
entity. Please use your own discretion when deciding what to post publicly and
whom to contact. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to edit or delete
inappropriate postings from our bulletin boards and discussion groups; provided,
however, the reservation of this right shall not, under any circumstances,
obligate us to conduct such editing or deletions.
If you participate in any referral service we may
offer, we will use the information you submit to determine which of our
participating professional(s) may be able to serve your needs. We may then
forward your name, Contact Information and other responses contained on our
sign-up form to the selected professional(s), who may then contact you using
that information. Any information you provide also may be used by us in
accordance with the uses set out in the registration section, above. In some
cases we may store these communications to home professionals or other third
parties, but solely for the purpose of assisting the professional in tracking
their communications.
The information gathered
automatically by our system-such as your computer's IP address, the kind of
browser you're using, and a record of your navigation through our site-may be
used by We so we can understand how to make our site convenient and
useful to our audience. This information may also be shared among the site and
used for similar purposes. In addition, we may share this information, in
aggregate form, with our current and potential marketing allies and advertisers
so they can know how to present their advertisements more effectively. When such
data is aggregated, all Personally Indentifiable Information is eliminated.
Reading this Privacy Policy should help you
understand how any information you share with us might be used. If you feel
concerned about any of these uses, you might elect not to participate in certain
services, features or products that we offer. We will never collect personal
information about you without your knowledge, so the decision whether or not to
share this information is completely up to you.
You also have the ability to terminate e-mail
correspondence from us at any time. You may be given the chance to opt-out of
direct mailings and newsletters when you disclose your e-mail address to us. Further, you can
reply to any of our mails and type "Unsubscribe" in the subject line or send an
e-mail to Email with
your request and we will promptly remove you from that particular e-mail
service. To opt-out or request that we not use your information.
If you feel concerned about the cookies that
are sent between our computers and yours, you may, through your Web browser,
either choose to reject them automatically, or have your computer prompt you
before accepting them. Generally, this is done by selecting the appropriate
cookies setting on your Web browser (usually found in "Internet Options" or
"Preferences"). Please note, however, that some of our features and services
depend on the use of cookies. Therefore, you will be unable to take advantage of
those features if you choose not to accept cookies.
Whenever personal information about you is
stored on our computers, that information is password-protected from
unauthorized access or use. In addition, this information is kept only on
servers that are located behind a firewall, which makes their contents
inaccessible to outside users.
Since your Social Security and financial
information is especially sensitive, we take special care to keep it secure. We
will only transmit or ask for this information over secure Internet connections,
using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, the currently accepted standard for
online security, and security keys. In addition, we require password
authentication from any third parties you've authorized to receive this
information. Finally, your Social Security number, credit card number and
financial information are rarely stored on our servers, as most orders are
processed by our marketing allies providing the service or product requested.
While this means you may have to enter this information more than once, we
believe the added security is worth the extra effort. In those instances where
we store such data, we protect the data on secure servers and transmit the
information using secure Internet connections.
Of course, we appreciate your help in
safeguarding the integrity of your own and others' privacy. We hope you'll use
common sense whenever you disclose personal information over the Internet. Just
as importantly, we encourage you to let us know immediately if you suspect that
the information you share with us is being used in any way contrary to this
Privacy Policy. Finally, unfortunately no data transmission over the Internet or
the storage of information on servers can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and
while we strive to protect your personal information (as described herein), we
cannot guarantee or warrant its complete security. To contact us, please send an
e-mail to: Real Estate Web Site Support.
If you have concerns about this Privacy Policy
or our privacy practices in general, contact us at Email
and we will try to resolve any issue(s) that you may have. Thank you for takin the time to read this
statement.
