REAL ESTATE LLC
PRIVACY POLICY
We at countryhomesearch.biz and the family of
companies at Realogy Corporation 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.
How does countryhomesearch.biz 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
countryhomesearch.biz sites and
countryhomesearch.bizs service partners use your
information to operate the sites and to deliver
services. countryhomesearch.biz sites also use
your information to inform you about other
products or services available from
countryhomesearch.biz 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.
countryhomesearch.biz 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
countryhomesearch.biz'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
countryhomesearc.biz 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.
countryhomesearc.biz 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
countryhomesearc.biz'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. countryhomesearc.biz 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 countryhomesearc.biz share
my Information?
As a general rule countryhomesearc.biz 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:
countryhomesearc.biz 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 countryhomesearc.biz
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, countryhomesearc.biz will
(with your permission) share your name and
e-mail address with such third parties. Under
confidentiality agreements, countryhomesearc.biz
may match Personal Information with third party
data. Also, countryhomesearc.biz 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: countryhomesearc.biz 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 countryhomesearc.biz's terms of use or
terms of service, or may be causing injury to or
interference (either intentionally or
unintentionally) with any of
countryhomesearc.bizs rights or property, other
countryhomesearc.biz Customers, or anyone else.
countryhomesearc.biz 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.
What happens when you link to a third
party site?
You should be aware that when you are on
countryhomesearc.biz'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
countryhomesearc.biz'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.
countryhomesearc.biz 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. countryhomesearc.biz'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. countryhomesearc.biz's policy
does not extend to anything that is inherent in
the operation of the Internet, which is beyond
countryhomesearc.biz'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 countryhomesearc.biz 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 countryhomesearc.biz 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,
countryhomesearc.biz 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, countryhomesearc.biz 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 countryhomesearc.biz 's Privacy
Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY,
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE. Your continued
use of countryhomesearc.biz's and/or its
affiliates' sites following the posting of
changes to these terms will mean you accept
those changes.
