CONDOSOURCE, INC. REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
PRIVACY POLICY
We at Condosource, Inc. recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of
certain information ("Information") collected about our customers
and prospective customers (referred to as "Customers," "you"
or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather,
how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At CONDOSOURCE, INC. it is our
intention to give you an understanding about how we collect your Information
and the use we make of it in the course of our business.
To that end, CONDOSOURCE, INC. gathers two types of information about Customers:
data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our
sites; and data CONDOSOURCE, INC. gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly
by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to
tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our advertisers
understand our audience. Because CONDOSOURCE, INC. derives its revenue mainly
from advertising and e-commerce, providing such aggregated data is essential
to keeping our service free to Customers. However, be assured that CONDOSOURCE,
INC. will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent,
except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information
is submitted.
How does CONDOSOURCE, INC. collect Information?
Optional registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this
occurs when you register at a site or request information or a service. Usually,
the CONDOSOURCE, INC. sites and CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s service partners use your
information to operate the sites and to deliver services. CONDOSOURCE, INC.
sites also use your information to inform you about other products or services
available from CONDOSOURCE, INC. and its affiliates.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses :
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified
by the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up"
Web pages.
CONDOSOURCE, INC. and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for the purposes
of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers,
and to audit the use of our site. When Customers request pages from CONDOSOURCE,
INC.'s and/or its affiliates' sites, our servers log the Customers' IP addresses.
We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which
means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer will remain
anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when
we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or
terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use Of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site sends
to yours computer for record-keeping purposes, which information is stored in
a file on your computer. Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving your
preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use
of our Web site when you return to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual
identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. We never save passwords
or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard,
and as such, you'll find that most major Web sites use them.
By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see which areas
are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are
based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information
is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to
provide services better tailored to our Customers' needs.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your
cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies.
You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is
being sent. However, note that some parts of CONDOSOURCE, INC. and/or its affiliates'
services will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse
cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized
preferences, and/or may have difficulty completing marketing transactions.
CONDOSOURCE, INC. and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its cookies.
First, we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. For example, Customers
can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't have
to tell us repeatedly about certain features in the home you are seeking. Second,
we use cookies to track Customers' Web site usage trends and patterns. This
helps us understand our Customers' needs better and improve areas of CONDOSOURCE,
INC.'s and/or its affiliates services that our Customers find valuable. While
both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of
disabling the cookies via your browser preferences.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. CONDOSOURCE, INC. and/or
its affiliates do not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies
sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
With whom does CONDOSOURCE, INC. share my Information?
As a general rule CONDOSOURCE, INC. will not disclose any specific personal
information that you submit to us about you ("Personal Information")
in a manner that connects you with the Personal Information, except when we
have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described
below. The following describes some of the ways that your Personal Information
may be disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors: CONDOSOURCE, INC. may disclose some or all
of your Personal Information to business partners or sponsors, but this use
will be specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring
the data. Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information
from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give CONDOSOURCE, INC. permission
to transfer your Personal Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your
request. In many instances, only your e-mail address will be shared. If more
Personal Information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior
to the transfer.
Third Party & Aggregate Data: From time to time, you may be offered the
opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you
opt to receive information from these third parties, CONDOSOURCE, INC. will
(with your permission) share your name and e-mail address with such third parties.
Under confidentiality agreements, CONDOSOURCE, INC. may match Personal Information
with third party data. Also, CONDOSOURCE, INC. may keep track of what portions
of the Web site Customers are visiting and other Customer statistics, and aggregate
this information to help us create a better experience for users of our Web
site. This is all done without knowing your name or other Personal Information
in order to describe our viewers and services to prospective partners, advertisers,
and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other: CONDOSOURCE, INC. may also disclose account Information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this Information is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating
CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s terms of use or terms of service, or may be causing injury
to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of CONDOSOURCE,
INC.s rights or property, other CONDOSOURCE, INC. Customers, or anyone else.
CONDOSOURCE, INC. may disclose or access account Information when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes
that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
How can you control the usage of Information?
In case you change your mind or some Personal Information changes (such as
your Zip Code or e-mail address), we will try to provide a way to correct, update
or remove the Personal Information that you give us. We also give you the opportunity
to control the communications we direct to you. We offer Customers the opportunity
to "opt out" of having Personal Information shared with parties outside
of CONDOSOURCE, INC. and/or its affiliated companies. If a Customer wishes to
update Personal Information or objects to any usage provided herein for any
reason, he/she may e-mail the requested change to: help@condosource.com
What happens when you link to a third party site?
You should be aware that when you are on CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s and/or its affiliates'
sites you could hyperlink or be directed to other sites that are beyond our
control and/or outside our service. For example, if you "click" on
a banner advertisement or a coldwellbanker.com search result, the "click"
may transfer you off the coldwellbanker.com site. These other sites may include
sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s
and/or its affiliates' logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other
sites may send their own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.
CONDOSOURCE, INC. and its affiliates do not control such sites, and, therefore,
are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they
choose to place on such sites. CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s and/or its affiliates' inclusion
of hyperlinks to these sites do not imply any endorsement of the material on
such sites or any association with their operators. CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s policy
does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet,
which is beyond CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s and its affiliates' control.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example,
via message boards or chat) that information can be collected and used by people
you don't know. While CONDOSOURCE, INC. and its affiliates strive to protect
their Customers' information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of
any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your
own risk.
Is my Information secure from others using the CONDOSOURCE, INC. site?
The importance of security of all information associated with our Customers
is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission
of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your information, CONDOSOURCE, INC. and its affiliates
can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or
from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we
receive your transmission, CONDOSOURCE, INC. uses industry standard efforts
to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and
Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on
the Internet.
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By using this site, you signify your agreement to CONDOSOURCE, INC. 's Privacy
Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE. Your
continued use of CONDOSOURCE, INC.'s and/or its affiliates' sites following
the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
