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 e mail at info@ExclusiveSaratogaHomes.com
or call us at 1-800-972-1822.
6. Effective Date:
This Privacy Policy is effective as of December 1, 2004.
