What personal information do we collect and how do we use it?
The types of personal information we collect depend on the product or service you have with us. When you register for news, respond to a survey, respond to offers, live chat or place an order on our site, we may ask you for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other details to help you with and to personalize your experience, to quickly process your transaction, and to better serve you based on our understanding of your needs and wants.
​
How do we protect your personal information online?
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use a number of security measures in compliance with Federal Law. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks accessible only by a limited number of persons who are required to keep information confidential. In addition, all transactions involving credit information you supply are processed through an authorized gateway provider, encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, and not stored on our servers. And, on a regular basis, we scan our website for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible.
​
Do we share any of your personal information?
No. We do not share your personal information with outside parties. From time to time, we may send you offers and promotions on products and services from our approved affiliates listed on our website if we think they may benefit you. Occasionally, we may provide non-personally identifiable information to our affiliates for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Administered by the United States Federal Trade Commission, the COPPA spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically advertise to children under the age of 13 years old; but we are happy to volunteer our knowledge of real estate and investing to any young person and their parent or legal guardian over 18 years of age who wish to call us by phone.

Fair Information Practices Principles
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices, in the event a data breach ever occurs we will notify you via email within seven (7) business days; however, we do not store sensitive personal information such as credit card information on our servers.

In accordance with CAN-SPAM, you can count on us to always identify ourselves and to state our place of business when we e-mail you, to not use false or misleading subject lines or e-mail addresses, and to monitor any third-party email marketing services for compliance, if ever we use one.
