HomeZebra, LLC ("Company") takes its web site users' ("User") on-line security and privacy seriously, so the Company makes reasonable efforts as described below to ensure its Users' confidence and protect their on-line security and privacy.
1. Types of Information Collected.
a. Traffic Data Collected. The Company may automatically track and collect the following information when the User visits the Company's web sites ("Web Sites"), including the User's: (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of computer; (iv) type of web browser; (v) pages visited and duration; and (vi) search terms used to access the Web Sites (collectively "Traffic Data"). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify the User but is helpful in the Company's efforts to improve the User's experience on the Web Site. The Company may also use "cookies," which are small data files that may be stored on the User's computer by the Web Site, and clear gifs, which are tiny graphics that are similar in function to cookies.
b. Personal Information Collected. In order for the User to access and utilize certain services that the Company offers via the Web Sites, the Company requires the User to provide information that personally identifies the User ("Personal Information"). Personal Information may include name, mailing and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, home ownership history and other data about the User and the User's home. If the User communicates with the Company by e-mail or completes online registration forms, surveys or other forms, any information provided in such communication may be collected as Personal Information. Information about the User's home may also be provided to the Web Sites from third party service providers providing services to the User, which User expressly authorizes, and any information provided in such manner may be collected as Personal Information.
c. Anonymized Data. The Company may build databases that include information about User's homes extracted from the Personal Information, but without data identifying User as an owner or previous owner or otherwise associating User to such home data ("Anonymized Data"). Anonymized Data shall not be deemed Personal Information. Company shall be deemed the owner of all Anonymized Data and free to use the Anonymized Data in any manner the Company selects.
2. Uses of Personal Information Collected.
By providing Personal Information on or through the Web Sites, the User is authorizing the Company to use that Personal Information. The Company uses Personal Information (i) to respond to requests and inquiries, (ii) to send the User information about the Company, including its affiliates, its products or services, and (iii) to otherwise contact the User. The Company may disclose your Personal Information to certain third parties that we have engaged to assist us in fulfilling your request, providing the Web Sites and the services through the Web Sites, and in maintaining our records. This may include, but is not limited to, third party service partners, transaction managers, credit card processing services, credit verification services, survey managers, and data management companies. We may also provide your Personal Information to third parties so that they may contact you regarding their products and services. The Company may disclose your Personal Information to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Company's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Company about our Web Site users is among the assets transferred. The Company may share information with appropriate third parties, including law enforcement or other similar entities, in connection with a criminal investigation, investigation of fraud, infringement of intellectual property rights, or other activity that is suspected to be illegal. Except as described above, the Company does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties Personal Information unless the User provides consent in advance, where such consent must be in writing, which includes by email.
3. User Choice Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of Traffic Data and Personal Information.
The User may choose not to allow the use of cookies under Traffic Data. The User's system settings control the use of cookies (not the Company). The User should check whether the User's browser settings allow the User to refuse cookies. If the User does not accept cookies, the User will still have access to some, but not all, of the facilities of the Web Sites.
The User may choose not to provide the Company with any Personal Information. In such an event, the User can still access some of the Web Sites; however, the User will not be able to access and use those portions of the Web Sites that require the User's Personal Information and the Company may not be able to respond to certain inquiries of the User.
4. Removing or Changing Personal Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain Personal Information to the extent required to comply with applicable regulations or other applicable law and the Company may retain and use, without limitation, the Anonymized Data.
If User requests that Personal Information be removed, the User shall be terminated as a User of the services of the Web Site and the User shall have no rights as a user of the Web Sites, including the right to payment for third party services when the real property transaction fails to close.
