The following statement has been prepared to clearly explain
Bay Realty's strict policy on protecting your privacy while
using our site.
Overview
Bay Realty may opt to collect personally identifiable information
(name, e-mail address, etc.) and/or demographic data (zip code,
gender, interests, etc.) that you submit when you: 1) register
for our services, 2) complete a survey, 3) register for a promotion,
contest, or sweepstakes, 4) make a purchase from our online
store, or 5) send us an email. We and/or our 3rd party partners
may use this information to process and maintain your account,
compile demographic statistics about our users, and display
to you information and advertisements that match your interests
and profile.
Credit card information will be provided to third parties
only to provide products and services that you order. We may
use the contact information you provide to contact you about
your account and/or to send you necessary information directly
related to the product(s) or service(s) for which you have
registered. With your permission, we may use your contact
information to inform you of new features and special offers
from Bay Realty. We will not provide your contact information
to unaffiliated third parties without your express permission.
As part of the registration process, you have the option to
inform us that you do not wish to receive information about
other special offers and promotions.
IP Addresses and Cookies
Bay Realty uses IP addresses (random numbers assigned to individual
computers) to help diagnose problems with our servers, administer
our web site, and anonymously track content preferences and
traffic patterns. We also use cookies (small text files transferred
from our Web site to your hard drive) to recognize repeat users,
track usage behavior, and facilitate your access to and use
of our site. Cookies do not damage files or allow anyone to
access your personally identifiable information - they simply
allow us to tailor information and advertisements to make your
visits more enjoyable and meaningful(and enable us to provide
you with personalized weather information, if you choose). They
also provide information to us about site usage to help us improve
and update our site. We may share aggregate (not individual)
site usage statistics and demographic information with advertisers
and other third parties, but this information will not include
any personally identifiable information.
Security and Links
The security of the information you provide to Bay Realty is
important to us. We use encryption software and other security
measures to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of sensitive
information under our control. However, the our partner links
includes links to other sites, and when you choose to visit
those sites, we are not responsible for their privacy policies
or how they treat user information. In addition, we may permit
third parties to offer registration-based services through our
site. We are not responsible for the actions and policies of
these third parties, and you should review the privacy policies
of these parties when supplying personally identifiable information
to them.
Additional Information
Bay Realty reserves the right to alter our Privacy Policy as
business needs require. Any changes will be posted to our web
site in a timely manner. This statement and the policies outlined
here are not intended to and do not give you any contractual
or other legal rights.
