Because we value your
patronage, we want to address any privacy concerns you may
have. To that end, we have set forth our
privacy policy for handling the information you share with
us online. We want your decision to do
business with us to be an informed one.
1. Collecting
Information
When you visit our Website,
we may collect information about you that you voluntarily
choose to share with us. This
identification information may include, but is not limited
to, your name, your physical address, your e‑mail address,
your telephone and fax numbers, details of your real estate
and lending needs and preferences, and other details of your
life.
When you sign the Guestbook
at our Website, we reserve the right to decide whether or
not your message will be posted for the public to
view. Spammers and pornographers of our Guestbook
will be dealt with severely.
When you email us a
joke, recipe or other information to be published on our
Website you are giving up permission to publish that
information along with your name as the source of that
submission. If you want us to exclude your name
be sure to tell at the time you submit
information to us.
We do not employ the
use of "cookies." (i.e. small text files
placed on your computer by a Website), Web server logs, and
other Web tools. This technology allows
the tracking of your Internet
use. The tracking data that is
collected through "cookies" may include, but is not
limited to, the date and time you visit, the time you spend,
the Web pages you view, the other Websites you visit, your
search queries, and basic information about your computer,
such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your domain
name, your browser type, and the name of your Internet
service provider. We consider the
use of "cookies" an invasion of your privacy and
therefore we do not use them.
When visiting our Website,
you may be directed, through hyperlinks, to other Websites
that are beyond our control. Furthermore,
when you are visiting our Website, other companies, such as
third party advertisers and sponsors, may be gathering
information about you. This Privacy
Policy does not cover the collection of information by those
other companies and Websites. Although we
encourage third parties to provide their own privacy
policies, we are not responsible for their activities, such
as how they handle the information they collect
online.
2. Using
Information Collected
We primarily use the
identification information you voluntarily share with us
to do what you have asked of us and to contact
you. We also use your identification
information to tell you about our products and services, but
you may instruct us not to send communications to you by
following the procedure indicated below under “Contacting
Us.” On occasion, we use your
identification information to validate your
identity. As for usage tracking data, it
is of a statistical nature and not specific to individuals.
We primarily use that information to operate and improve our
Website, and to further our marketing efforts.
As a general rule, we do not
share your information with unaffiliated third
parties. We may, however, share your
information with our own personnel and our service providers
to the extent necessary to fulfill your
requests. We may also share your
information with our affiliates, but we will not share it
with unaffiliated third parties for direct marketing
purposes. We reserve the right to
disclose your information under limited circumstances, such
as to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities
as required by law or legal process, to protect our own
legal rights, or to protect the public good.
Whenever you are online, you
run the risk that the information you give out will fall
into the wrong hands. Although we
implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and
practices to safeguard your privacy, we cannot guarantee the
security of any information you provide to
us. We accept no responsibility or
liability for the activities of third parties.
3. Updating
Information
If you would like to review
the information about you that we have collected through our
Website, or to change that information, you can make that
request by following the procedure indicated below under
“Contacting Us.” We may require that you
verify your identity before we process your
request.
4. Updating
Our Privacy Policy
We may, from time to time,
change our Privacy Policy. We will notify
you of any changes by posting our updated Privacy Policy on
our Website and inserting a new “Effective Date.”
5. Contacting
