LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com Privacy Policy
Effective June 18th, 2005
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com is
committed to protecting the privacy of its users.
When you register for LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com's online
services, the information you provide to us is used
to provide the services you have registered for, to
deliver email notifications to you (or people you
designate as your recipients), and from time to
time, to validate your identity. Our data collection
policies with regard to current and future services
allow you to choose how much information you provide
to us, and to control how we use that information.
Read below to find out more.
Our Commitment to You
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com is committed to making your
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com experience satisfying and safe.
Our data collection policies allow you to choose how
much information you provide to us, and what
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com does with the information you
supply. LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com will keep your
information within LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com unless you
consent to our supplying all or a portion of your
information to third parties as a part of one of the
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com service offerings. However, if
you tell LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com not to send you further
emails, this instruction may be communicated to
third parties who send email on LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com's
behalf solely to allow us to comply with your
instructions. LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com collects
information online to allow you to use our services.
Depending on the service you are accessing, you
could be asked at various times to provide
information such as your name, email address, street
address, contact phone number or other information
related to of the property you are seeking to buy or
sell, and/or what type of customer you are seeking
to attract. On other occasions such as when we
require payment for LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com services, we
may request your credit card number to conclude the
transaction. We request this information to deliver
on the services you are requesting, and to allow us
to provide our strongest value to you - a
personalized online experience. Information
collected online is often defined as being either
anonymous or personally identifiable:
1. Anonymous Information refers to
information that cannot be tied back to a specific
individual. For instance, we may know that thousands
of people have visited this LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com
Privacy Policy webpage, but we do not necessarily
know their names, where they live, or their date of
birth. What we collect from visits such as this
constitutes anonymous information. Many of the
individuals who access our services decline to use
the personalization features that are available to
them, and therefore those individuals are anonymous
to us and the only data we collect about them is
anonymous information.
2. Personally Identifiable Information refers
to information that tells us specifically who you
are, such as your name, email address or phone
number. In many cases we need this information to
provide the personalized or enhanced service that
you have requested. We hope that, like many of our
customers, you will find it beneficial to provide
Personally Identifiable Information to
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com so that we may provide valuable
services to you. Registering with LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com
will also cause a LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com cookie to be
issued; this cookie allows LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com to
"recognize" you when you are on LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com's
site to allow us to personalize our service for you.
Third Party Advertisers.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve
ads when you visit our Web site. These companies
serve their ads from their own web sites,
independently of LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com. As such, they
may use cookies or request personal information from
you, or they may share anonymous information about
your visit with third parties.
Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to this
site, our third-party advertiser may place or
recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
Links to Third Party Web Sites
As a service to our users we provide links to
various unrelated third party web sites. We are
neither responsible for the content on nor for the
information collection practices of such web sites,
nor do we control the privacy policies of such web
sites. Their policies may be substantially different
in this regard from LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com. Accordingly,
we recommend that you review their privacy and
information collection policies before providing any
information to such third parties.
What Personally Identifiable Information of yours
is collected by LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com
When you register for LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com online
services, the information you provide to us is used
to provide the service for which you have
registered. Depending on the services you have
chosen to use, some or all of your Personally
Identifiable Information may be used by
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com to provide such services.
Personally Identifiable Information may also be
provided to intermediaries and third parties who
assist LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com in providing you with the
service you request. For example, if you register to
use our Find a REALTOR® service and agree to its
terms, some of your information may be shown to real
estate agents (e.g., characteristics of the home you
wish to sell), but not all of your information if
you are a seller (e.g., your email, since this
service protects your anonymity). As another
example, when you request assistance in estimating
the value of your home, we may provide some of your
Personally Identifiable Information and general
information regarding your home to one of our
partners who may in turn share your information with
a local real estate agent familiar with your market
to assist you. Once you have been contacted by a
real estate agent, we recommend that you contact
them directly for information about their specific
privacy policies. When registering for
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com services, you provide
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com with your email address. We will
use your email address to deliver these
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com services, such as notifying you
of new agent proposals if you registered for our
Find a REALTOR® service. We and our partners may
also send you information about other services if
you have opted in to receiving such notifications.

otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, however,

EMAIL: What choices are available to you

LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com offers you the ability to control
the email communications we make to you. It is our
intention to give you as much control over our

LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com. However, LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com
gives you the opportunity to unsubscribe to general
email communication from us - clear directions for
doing so will appear in the email messages we send
to you. At times, LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com may enter into
co branding arrangements with other companies, and
if so, an opt-in or opt out question may be present
to allow email contact from these company's as well.
Their opt-in/out features are specific to each
organization, but you should not receive email from
these organizations unless you have indicated that
it is acceptable. Before consenting to receive email
from third parties, you should read their privacy
policy and terms of use, if applicable, to make sure
you are comfortable dealing with that company. As
you can understand, LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com can not make
commitments on behalf of other companies. All email
from LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com partners who gain your
permission to send you commercial email, will
include an opportunity to opt out of future
communications. LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com reserves the
right to send a one-time registration confirmation
email, and Service Alert messages to its customers
to inform them of service changes or issues with the
Terms of Use.

necessary, and only authorized individuals have
access to the information provided by our customers.

customer's credit card number collected for a
commerce transaction, is encrypted prior to
transmission. You the consumer are ultimately
responsible for the security of your
LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com Member Name and password. Please
take care to store your LAND123.com and ListingOfHomes.Com Member
Name separately from your account password, or
better yet, choose a password that you don't need to
write down at all.
