How To Contact Us
Our
Commitment To Privacy We at
Adrian Realty, Inc. (referred to as "Adrian", "Adrian
Realty",
"we," "us," or "our") recognize the
importance of protecting the privacy of certain information
("Information") collected about our clients, customers and prospective
customers (referred to as "Customers," "you" or
"your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we
gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At Adrian realty it is
our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect your
Information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.
To that end, Adrian Realty gathers two types of information about Customers:
data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on
our sites; and data Adrian Realty gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by
tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to
tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our
advertisers understand our audience. However, be
assured that Adrian Realty will not disclose personal Information to third
parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy
Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.
The Information We
Collect
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on
the ADRIAN-REALTY.COM website. On some pages, you can order products, make requests,
and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected
at these pages are:
Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Real Estate Requirements (etc.)
On some pages, you can submit information about other people. In
this circumstance, the types of personal information collected are:
Name
Address
Phone Number (etc.)
Optional registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you.
Generally this occurs when you register at one of our websites or request information
or a service. Usually, the Adrian Realty sites and Adrian Realty service partners use
your information to operate the sites and to deliver services. Adrian
Realty
sites also use your information to inform you about other products or
services available from Adrian Realty and its affiliates.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses :
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer
can be identified by the main computers, known as "Web
servers," that "serve up" Web pages.
Adrian Realty and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for the purposes of
system administration, to report aggregated information to our
advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When Customers request
pages from Adrian Realty and/or its affiliates' sites, our servers log the
Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to
anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session
will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and
will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or terms of
service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use Of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web
site sends to yours computer for record-keeping purposes, which
information is stored in a file on your computer. Cookies make Web
surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the
saved information to facilitate your use of our Web site when you return
to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual identity unless you
have chosen to provide it to us. We never save passwords or credit card
information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and
as such, you'll find that most major Web sites use them.
By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see
which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates
to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages
viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the
information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our
Customers' needs.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete
your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or
indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of
Adrian Realty and/or its affiliates' services will not function properly or may
be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without
cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences, and/or
may have difficulty completing marketing transactions.
Adrian Realty and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its cookies.
First, we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. For example,
Customers can specify keywords across several categories or markets so
you don't have to tell us repeatedly about certain features in the home
you are seeking. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' Web site
usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers' needs
better and improve areas of Adrian Realty's and/or its affiliates services that
our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend on
the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling the cookies via
your browser preferences.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers.
Adrian Realty and/or
its affiliates do not control these cookies. The use of advertising
cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet
industry.
With whom is your information being
shared
As a general rule Adrian Realty will not disclose any specific personal
information that you submit to us about you ("Personal
Information") in a manner that connects you with the Personal
Information, except when we have your permission or under special
circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following
describes some of the ways that your Personal Information may be
disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors: Adrian
Realty may disclose some or all of
your Personal Information to business partners or sponsors, but this use
will be specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior
to transferring the data. Many promotions offer opportunities to request
additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information,
you give Adrian Realty permission to transfer your Personal Information to the
sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your
e-mail address will be shared. If more Personal Information will be
shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.
Third Party & Aggregate Data: From time to time, you may be
offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from
third parties. If you opt to receive information from these third
parties, Adrian Realty will (with your permission) share your name and e-mail
address with such third parties. Under confidentiality agreements,
Adrian Realty
may match Personal Information with third party data. Also, Adrian
Realty may
keep track of what portions of the Web site Customers are visiting and
other Customer statistics, and aggregate this information to help us
create a better experience for users of our Web site. This is all done
without knowing your name or other Personal Information in order to
describe our viewers and services to prospective partners, advertisers,
and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other: Adrian Realty may also disclose account Information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this Information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
may be violating Adrian Realty's terms of use or terms of service, or may be
causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or
unintentionally) with any of Adrian Realty's rights or property, other
Adrian Realty
Customers, or anyone else. Adrian Realty may disclose or access account
Information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and
for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to
maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
How you can control the usage of information
In case you change your mind or some Personal Information changes
(such as your zip code or e-mail address), we will try to provide a way
to correct, update or remove the Personal Information that you give us.
We also give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct
to you. We offer Customers the opportunity to "opt out" of
having Personal Information shared with parties outside of Adrian Realty and/or
its affiliated companies. If a Customer wishes to update Personal
Information or objects to any usage provided herein for any reason,
he/she may e-mail the requested change to: info@adrian-realty.com
Links to a third party site
You should be aware that when you are on
Adrian Realty's and/or its
affiliates' sites you could hyperlink or be directed to other sites that
are beyond our control and/or outside our service. For example, if you
"click" on a banner advertisement the "click" may transfer you off the
adrian-realty.com site. These other sites may include sites of
advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Adrian Realty's and/or its
affiliates' logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites
may send their own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit
Information.
Adrian Realty and its affiliates do not control such sites, and, therefore,
are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising
they choose to place on such sites. Adrian Realty's and/or its affiliates'
inclusion of hyperlinks to these sites do not imply any endorsement of
the material on such sites or any association with their operators.
Adrian Realty's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the
operation of the Internet, which is beyond Adrian Realty's and its affiliates'
control.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online
(for example, via message boards or chat) that information can be
collected and used by people you don't know. While Adrian Realty and its
affiliates strive to protect their Customers' information and privacy,
we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online,
and you disclose such information at your own risk.
Our Commitment To Children's
Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially
important to Adrian Realty.
For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from
those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to
attract anyone under 13.
Is your Information secure from others using the
Adrian Realty site
The importance of security of all information associated with our
Customers is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing
secure transmission of your information from your computer to our
servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
your information, Adrian Realty and its affiliates can't ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us or from our online
products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive
your transmission, Adrian Realty uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the
confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket
Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the
Internet.
Your acceptance of these terms
By using this site, you signify your agreement to
Adrian Realty 's Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use this
site. Your continued use of Adrian Realty's and/or its affiliates' sites
following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept
those changes.
How To Contact Us
Should you have other questions or concerns about these privacy
policies, please call us at 877-822-7163 or send us an email at info@adrian-realty.com
