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 don@FabRealEstate.com
or call us at 203.746.1199.
6. Effective Date: This Privacy
Policy is effective as of December 7, 2004.
