privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it, and
how to correct or change it.
INFORMATION SIBCY CLINE GATHERS AND TRACKS
SIBCY CLINE gathers information about customers
in two ways:
·
Registration: Information that users provide
through optional and voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to
receive our Home Watch Service, to email a friend, and for scheduling
appointments. Customers also provide information on our site to contact an
agent to get further information on listings.
·
Usage tracking: Information SIBCY CLINE gathers
through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views
(using IP address log analyses and through the use of Cookies) throughout our
sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to customers' needs
and to help us better understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does SIBCY CLINE
divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
Usage tracking
SIBCY CLINE tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with
data about individual users. SIBCY CLINE does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's browser type, and MIME type by reading this
information from the browser string (information contained in every user's
browser).
SIBCY CLINE sometimes tracks and catalogs the
search terms that users enter in our Search function,
but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking
information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like
based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read,
but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build
a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a
"cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself
does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your
use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. SIBCY CLINE uses cookies to track user traffic
patterns (as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in
your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies,
you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate
actively in message boards, forums, polling, surveys, user session
customization and membership services. Some of the features of the site may have
limited or missing, or broken functionality if you choose not to accept
cookies.
"E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically
forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail
this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as
that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of
transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the
email. The information is not used for any other purpose.

USE OF INFORMATION
SIBCY CLINE uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether
to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users
voluntarily provide in order to send out Home Watch Alerts and to help our
customers with the home buying and selling process.
We use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We
track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what
interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
SIBCY CLINE creates aggregate reports on user
demographics and traffic patterns for Sibcy Cline and its affiliate
companies. We will not disclose any
information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
