Privacy Policy

Effective date: 12/17/2007

This privacy policy covers the collection and use of information for the website, www.housinginfo.com ("this website" or "we"). This website is owned by:

This website matches consumers seeking housing services with providers of those products or services. We do this by collecting certain information about you and providing such information to advertising partners that offer the products or services that you are seeking. The information contained on this website is provided as a free service. We may derive income when visitors submit personal information via online forms at this website or click on a link that takes you to advertising partners' sites. In order to track these submissions or clicks, this website uses cookies and Web beacons, as described below. Please remember that when you click on the links to our advertising partners' websites, you leave this website. Any information that you submit at other websites is governed by the privacy policy of that other site. We have no control over what is done with the information that you submit to other sites. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of any website to which you provide personal information.

Collection and Use of Personally-Identifiable Information
"Personally-identifiable information" is information that can be used to identify or contact you, like your name, telephone number, and email address. Depending upon the type of service you are seeking, our forms may ask you for your name, address, telephone number, email address and additional information about the services you want, for example, price range or starting date. We will forward that information to companies that offer the products and services you want so that they can contact you about them. We and our corporate affiliates may also use your postal and email addresses to notify you about special offers or other products or services that may be of interest to you. You will always be able to decline any or all of these communications by indicating your preferences on the pages at this website on which your contact information is collected, or by following the directions included in our emails or other communications.

We may link the personally-identifiable information you provide with routine Internet transmission information such as your IP address. We do this to verify that Web forms submitted at this website and clicks through to our advertising partners' sites are bona fide and correspond to the location information contained in the forms that you complete.

Your information may be stored on servers in the United States, either by us, by agents that are restricted to storing and processing such information on our behalf and according to our instructions, or by the advertising partners whose services you seek. The information that we store is usually deleted as space requires or in the normal course of business.

This website is not directed at or intended to be used by people under 13 years of age. This website does not knowingly collect personally-identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If this website is made aware that it has received personally-identifiable information from someone under 13, we will use reasonable efforts to remove that information from our records.

Collection and Use of Non-Personally-Identifiable Information
"Non-personally identifiable information" is information that cannot identify a particular person. This type of information includes a zip code or city or state of residence, without an association to a name or address, as well as information transmitted during routine Internet communications, like a visitor's Internet Service Provider, a computer's operating system and browser type. Our Web servers record in our log files the routine Internet transmission information noted above, as well as the date and time a visitor's browser contacts our site, the browser version, IP address used, and the search term that directed the visitor to our website. We use this log file data to administer the website, analyze website usage and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Cookies and Web Beacons
We use cookies and Web beacons at this website. A "cookie" is a small text file that contains a string of letters, numbers and characters. Internet browsers store "persistent cookies" in a folder on your computer where they remain until the cookies expire or you delete them. "Session cookies" disappear when you close your Internet browser. Web beacons, also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs," are tiny graphics on a Web page that can be used to transmit information about a website's visitors.

This website may use both persistent and session cookies as well as Web beacons to keep track of those browsers associated with submitted Web forms or that click through to our advertising partners' sites. The tracking codes contained in these cookies may be encrypted for security purposes. Some of the cookies, for example, those that are used to pre-populate additional forms that you want to complete, contain the contact information that you have submitted. All of the cookies that contain such personally-identifiable information are session cookies and expire when you close your browser. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your Web browser. For more information about how you can control cookies, please click here.

Information Sharing or Disclosure
Personally-identifiable information that you submit to this website, as described above, will be shared with advertising partners that provide the types of services that you are seeking. It may also be shared with other LinkShare divisions, with agents that perform work for us, and among any corporate affiliates. In addition, please note that your personally-identifiable information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to law. Also, in the event of bankruptcy or if all or part of the company is sold, merged or otherwise transferred to another entity, the information that you have provided to this website may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will, however, take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is used in a manner consistent with the privacy policy under which it was collected.

In order to ensure that this website is credited for visitors that click through to our advertising partners' websites, we may share with our advertising partners the encrypted tracking code that some cookies may contain. This tracking code is not personally-identifiable.

Third Party Cookies and Advertisements
We may allow advertisers and other third parties to place cookies onto your computer when you visit our website. These vendors may use information about the ads you view on this and other websites in order to provide advertisements targeted to your interests. If you would like more information about these practices and to learn your choices about not having this information used to target ads to you, please click here.

Security
We have implemented reasonable security measures in order to protect information collected through this website from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is subject to change. If we make any material or substantive changes in the way that we use the personally-identifiable information collected through this website (www.housinginfo.com), we will post a clear and conspicuous notice of those changes on this website and in this privacy policy.
