> PRIVACY POLICY
Introduction
We take your right to privacy seriously and want you to feel comfortable using our web site.
This Privacy Policy deals with personally identifiable information (referred to as "Data" below)
that may be collected by us on our site. This Policy does not apply to other entities that we do not own or
control or persons that are not our employees, agents or within our control. We use the Sites to provide you with information,
resources, tools, products and services specific to the real estate industry and related markets.
In conjunction with this Privacy Policy, you should also review our Terms of Use for a complete
understanding of the rules governing our Sites.
What information is collected from me?
Information You Give Us: Information
collected from you will vary, depending on how you use the Sites and what information
you may choose to provide to us (whether through email or otherwise). It's possible
to browse most sections of the Sites without submitting any personally identifiable
information. Personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) means
individually identifiable information about you that we collect online, including
but not limited to, your full name, a user name and password, email address,
phone number, physical address, or, for certain products or services, your social
security number, or financial information, and for certain e-commerce transactions
your credit card information. If you choose to take advantage of some of our
products and/or services, or to access certain of our tools or Site functionality,
you may be asked to provide Personal Information. Certain Professionals may
also be requested to provide your license or MLS ID#. Whenever we ask for Personal
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. You can choose not to provide us with Personal Information,
but then you may not be able to fully take advantage of certain features of
our Sites and we may not be able to provide you with certain requested information,
products and/or services.
Automatic Collection of Information:
Like many Web sites on the Internet, we automatically track certain information
about you as you visit and use our Sites to help us to better understand how
the Sites are used and how we can enhance your overall experience on each Site.
This information may include your computer’s Internet Protocol address, the
URLs and Site pages you’ve visited, the number of times you visit each Site
page, what downloads and/or search queries you have made, how long you spent
on particular sections of each Site and on each Site generally, and your browser
type. This automatically gathered data includes information provided through
the use of "cookies" (which is described in more detail below).
Information from Cookies: Cookies
are small files that we send to and store on your computer so that we can recognize
it as a unique machine the next time you visit the Sites. You are always free
to decline any cookies we use if your browser permits. Some of our advertisers
and third-party service providers may also utilize their own cookies. Several
of them may be part of the Network Advertising Initiative's ("NAI") Self
Regulatory Principles Governing Online Preference Marketing. To opt out
of the NAI's Online Preference Marketing, click here. In addition, we and our
service providers sometimes use "clear GIFs" in connection with cookies and
other website functions. Clear GIFs perform administrative functions without
detracting from your online experience. They may be used to perform statistical
and administrative tasks including measuring site and page traffic, verifying
advertising avenues and positioning images on the web. Clear GIFs do not collect
Personal Information.
>Information Sharing Disclosure - How is
my information used and shared?
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 Sites that you wish to utilize.
Personal Information
We may share the Personal Information we collect from you only
with your consent or under the following circumstances:
User-Requested Services and Information: Certain products
or services on our Sites may seek Personal Information from you, which may be
used in the following ways:
- For products and services provided by the Sites, the information you submit
is used by us to provide the information, product or service you've requested.
We may also share this information with others, but only to the extent necessary
to fulfill your request or to facilitate your use of their services. In
addition, we may use any registration information that you submit as set
forth in the “Registration Information” section below.
- We may use other companies and individuals to perform supporting functions
for the various tools, functionality, products and services offered through
our Sites on our behalf. These service providers will not be permitted to
use the information collected from you for any other purpose other than
performing the support functions for Move.
- 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, Move 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 Sites 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.
User-Initiated Communication: From time to time, portions
of the Sites may enable you to send email to us or to third parties 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 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 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. This reservation of rights shall not under any circumstances obligate
us to conduct such edits or deletions, nor shall it cause us to be liable for
any such edits or deletions.
Referrals: If you participate in any referral service
we may offer:
- Consumers: We 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 information, which may include Personal Information,
contained on our sign-up form to certain professional(s), who may then contact
you.
- Professionals: You may receive information from consumers seeking
your products or services, including, without limitation, their Personal
Information. Because protecting consumer privacy is important, we require
that you treat data received from Move consumers as if it was still on the
Sites and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may only use the information
sent to you via our Sites for the purposes of providing products and/or
services to the consumer. We require that you otherwise not share, use or
transmit this information to or with any third party without the consumer’s
consent.
Protection of rights: We will release Personal Information
if we believe that such action is appropriate to: (1) comply with legal process,
(2) enforce the Terms of Use Agreement for the applicable Site, or (3) identify,
contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who are or we believe
will cause injury to us or a third party, or (4) otherwise protect the rights,
property or personal safety of Move, its employees, Site users or others.
Asset transfers: We continue to develop our business
and in doing so might choose to buy or sell other businesses or assets. Personal
Information is generally one of the transferred assets acquired or transferred
in such transactions.
Registration Information: The Personal Information you
provide when you become a registered user or customer of one of the Sites is
used primarily to help us customize your online experience, increase the convenience
of accessing new tools, products and services, and, if applicable, provide the
products and/or services you purchase or request. This Personal Information
may also be shared among the Sites to make your use of the Sites more convenient
by, for example, limiting the number of times you have to register with us.
Your email address serves as a unique identifier in our record system, and together
with your password is designed to prevent unauthorized access to any information
you choose to store on the Sites. 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
Sites, we have an automated password recovery system, which can be accessed
by clicking on the "Forgot Password?" link on the sign-in page.
- Unless you specify that you'd prefer not to hear from us, we may use the
email 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 by opting out through your member profile on the applicable
Site, or by clicking on any “unsubscribe” link contained in a promotional
email. Please be aware that opting out on one of our Sites, does not opt
you out from any of our other Sites. If you would like to request to opt
out with respect to all of the Sites please email realbiz5@gmail.com with your requests.
- Professionals. Personal Information provided to us from your trade
association is not shared with third parties, unless you authorize it directly.
We may offer a newsletter to keep you abreast of the products and services
on the Sites or other professional products and services. Information such
as your license number or personal financial information will not be shared
with third parties except to complete a transaction or as provided in the
paragraphs above. Additionally, information provided by you for the purposes
of offering your products and services to others via one or more of the
Sites will be shared with others, including consumers accessing one or more
of the Sites. To the extent such information is necessary to offer such
products and services it will be posted on the applicable Site(s). This
may include, without limitation, your full name, email address, license
number, state of license, address, phone number, graphic images and any
other data intended to help consumers identify or contact you and for your
products and services.
Non-personal Information
Automatically Gathered Information: Information that
is automatically gathered, including through the use of cookies, may be shared
among the Sites and in aggregate form with other third parties, including listing
providers, and advertisers, so that we may better understand how the Sites are
used and to enhance your overall experience on the Sites. When such data is
aggregated, all Personal Information is eliminated.
Children’s Privacy: Our Sites are general audience Web
sites. If you are under the age of 13 you should not register or provide information
on our Sites. We do not collect Personal Information from any person we actually
know is a child under the age of 13. If you have knowledge that a child under
the age of 13 has submitted Personal Information to us, please email realbiz5@gmail.com
How can I access and change my information?
To view, edit or delete the Personal Information you submitted
on the Sites during registration, the purchase of a product or service, or elsewhere
as described above:
- Consumers: Follow the instructions found in the "My Profile" or
"Edit Your Profile" area of the Site(s) where you registered or submitted
Personal Information. If you would like us to no longer use or share with
our affiliates, partners or other service providers, your Personal Information
we may gather from you to market information to you, please send a request
to realbiz5@gmail.com
- Professionals: You may edit your information by returning to the
area of the Site where you registered and modifying the information there,
or by calling our Customer Care Center at (800) 878-4166. By contacting
Customer Care to make such changes, you expressly authorize Customer Care
to access your data for the purposes of completing your requested edits,
modifications and/or deletions.
How is my information protected?
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 on servers that are located behind a firewall. Since
your financial information and certain other Personal Information (i.e., your
social security number) is especially sensitive, we take special care to keep
it secure. We will only electronically 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 have authorized
to receive this information. Finally, to the extent that we may ask for your
social security number, credit card number or financial information, these will
be stored on secure designated servers where access is limited to individuals
in departments charged with using such information only in connection with processing
your orders for products and services purchased; provided, however, that those
orders processed by our partners, marketing allies and service providers that
provide the service or product requested may store such information on their
servers which are governed by such third party’s privacy policy and security
procedures.
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 email to: realbiz5@gmail.com
