PRIVACY POLICY
Because
we value your patronage, we want to address any privacy concerns you
may have. To that end, we have set forth our privacy policy for handling
the information you share with us online. We want your decision to do
business with us to be an informed one.
1. Collecting Information
When you visit our Website, we may collect information about you that
you voluntarily choose to share with us. This identification information
may include, but is not limited to, your name, your physical address,
your e-mail address, your telephone and fax numbers, details of your
real estate and lending needs and preferences, and other details of
your life.
What may be less obvious to you is that, when you visit our Website,
we may collect data involving your usage through the use of "cookies"
(i.e. small text files placed on your computer by a Website), Web server
logs, and other Web tools. This technology allows us to customize your
online experience, as well as track your Internet use. The tracking
data we collect may include, but is not limited to, the date and time
you visit, the time you spend, the Web pages you view, the other Websites
you visit, your search queries, and basic information about your computer,
such as your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, your domain
name, your browser type, and the name of your Internet service provider.
You may deactivate cookies if you do not want your browsing to be tracked,
but doing so may hinder your online experience.
When visiting our Website, you may be directed, through hyperlinks,
to other Websites that are beyond our control. Furthermore, when you
are visiting our Website, other companies, such as third party advertisers
and sponsors, may be gathering information about you. This Privacy Policy
does not cover the collection of information by those other companies
and Websites. Although we encourage third parties to provide their own
privacy policies, we are not responsible for their activities, such
as how they handle the information they collect online.
2. Using Information Collected
We primarily use the identification information you voluntarily share
with us to customize your online experience and to do what you have
asked of us. We also use your identification information to tell you
about our products and services, but you may instruct us not to send
communications to you by following the procedure indicated below under
"Contacting Us." On occasion, we use your identification information
to validate your identity. As for usage tracking data, we primarily
use that information to operate and improve our Website, and to further
our marketing efforts.
As a general rule, we do not share your information with unaffiliated
third parties. We may, however, share your information with our own
personnel and our service providers to the extent necessary to fulfill
your requests. We may also share your information with our affiliates,
but we will not share it with unaffiliated third parties for direct
marketing purposes. We reserve the right to disclose your information
under limited circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement
or judicial authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect
our own legal rights, or to protect the public good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the information you give
out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement and maintain
reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy,
we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us.
We accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third
parties.
3. Updating Information
If you would like to review the information about you that we have collected
through our Website, or to change that information, you can make that
request by following the procedure indicated below under "Contacting
Us." We may require that you verify your identity before we process
your request.
4. Updating Our Privacy Policy
We may, from time to time, change our Privacy Policy. We will notify
you of any changes by posting our updated Privacy Policy on our Website
and inserting a new "Effective Date."
5. Contacting Us
If you would like to send us a request as indicated above, or if you
have any other questions or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy, you
may contact us by email at Kathy@savoyrealestate.net.
6. Effective Date: This Privacy Policy is effective as of May 6, 2009.
