Privacy Policy
My Realty Data, Inc. respects the privacy of visitors to our site. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand our privacy practices.
- Collection and Use of Information
The information gathered by My Realty Data, Inc. falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to our website (MyRealtyData.com) through optional membership registration or other means such as registration for an online contest or sweepstakes and E-commerce transactions, and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate through our site. Third party service providers on or linked to by our website, such as vendors of products and services offered through our sites, may be gathering the same kinds of information. - A Note about Children's Online Privacy
Children are welcome to visit MyRealtyData.com, but we have neither a children's area nor any information likely to be of special interest to children. Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We won't knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register with MyRealtyData.com, to otherwise provide personally-identifiable information, or to access those features that require registration. - Membership Registration
To make use of certain features on our websites (such as Forums) a visitor needs to register as a MyRealtyData.com member and to provide certain information as part of the registration process. The membership registration form asks the visitor for his or her name, age range, address, zip code, e-mail address, and general demographic information.
The information you supply will help us to offer you more personalized features, and to tailor our site to your interests and make it more useful to you. The more you tell us about yourself, the more value we can offer you.
The demographic information collected on MyRealtyData.com is used internally for marketing and planning purposes. At times, MyRealtyData.com may summarize the demographic information it collects for use in aggregate form for marketing and promotional purposes and share this aggregated information with third parties. - E-mail Newsletter
When you register as a member or participate in a special promotion or contest on MyRealtyData.com you may be asked whether you would like to receive MyRealtyData.com e-mail newsletter. The newsletter notifies interested MyRealtyData.com visitors of new information available on MyRealtyData.com and occasionally provides notice of special events. Only visitors who explicitly "opt-in" will receive our e-mail newsletter. If you do not wish to receive MyRealtyData.com's e-mail newsletter, simply "opt-out" by checking the appropriate box on the applicable MyRealtyData.com form. - Cookies
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of user ID, that resides on your computer. The cookie doesn't actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for example), we won't know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can't read unrelated data off your hard drive. Our advertisers and third party service providers may also assign their own cookies to your browser, a process that we don't control.
We use cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. It is a cookie, for example, that allows us to deliver your leads, including driving directions and maps to direct you to those properties. With cookies, we save you time because you don't need to re-enter information you've already entered, even if you have not visited MyRealtyData.com for a while. And we use cookies to avoid showing you the same ad repeatedly during a single visit. In addition, we may use cookies to track the pages on our sites visited by our users. We can build a better site if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to MyRealtyData.com. - IP Addresses
Our web server automatically collects limited information about your computer's connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit MyRealtyData.com. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data -- such as the web pages you view.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our site. - Advertisers
When we present information to our advertisers - to help them understand our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our web site - it is usually in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic to various pages within our sites. From time to time, we may share information on visitors to our sites with those marketing products and services that we believe might be of interest to you. All information gathered on our site is stored within a REIUniverse-controlled database accessible only to MyRealtyData.com. However, as effective as any security measure implemented by MyRealtyData.com may be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. - A final note...
The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we'll post the changes before they take effect. Our use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will always be consistent with the current policy, even if we change that policy later.
