Privacy Policy
We strive to offer our visitors the
many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you
are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You
may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of
our site. Like most Web sites, this website also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that
may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize
you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having
to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the
number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting
our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not
to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to
refuse to accept cookies, but if you do, you may be unable to access
certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features
according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not
personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g.,
to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
this site to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by us and other topics we
think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
us may also be used for other purposes, including but not
limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of
e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests,
and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service or email provider for example) may access such information. We
will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from
time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy,
merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We
may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at
other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law,
in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or
to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
We expect our partners, advertisers
and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however,
that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and
other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
ArlingtonMaHomesForSale.org page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through this site you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties, we are
not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may
include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you
have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available
on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use
cookies or other technology to gather information. We do
not control the use of this technology by third parties or the
resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or
policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas,
that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used
by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of us and this policy.
Children
We do not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children
under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received
any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately. If you believe
we have any information from or about anyone under 13,

Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to change this
policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.
Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to
these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected
prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the
rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
Governing law
If a dispute arises under this Policy we agree to first try
to resolve it with you directly. If we are unable to come to
agreement, we will then try to resolve it with the help of a mutually
agreed-upon mediator. Any costs and fees other than attorney fees
associated with the mediation will be shared equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually
satisfactory solution through mediation, both parties agree to submit
the dispute to binding arbitration, under the rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitration may be entered in any court with jurisdiction to do so.
This site is controlled, operated and
administered entirely within our organization. This statement and the
policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any
contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
