When you use our website, mobile applications and other online products and services there may be times when you provide certain private and personal information about yourself to us.
From the outset, we want you to know that we do respect your privacy. After all, we are in a business of trust, so keeping your information confidential and protected against unauthorized disclosure is very important to us. We intend to limit the amount of information needed by us to the minimum amount necessary to deliver the service you expect from us. This will allow us to serve you better. We do not know who is in fact using our site and mobile applications unless they tell us. We do provide a Contact Us feature on our website that does require you to provide to us certain information about yourself, like your name, social networking screen names, email address and any other information you choose to provide. We will need this information to assist in any inquiry you may have and to determine the best way to respond to you to assure your needs have been met. We do not, and will not share personal information you give to us with any unauthorized third party without your written permission. This means we do not sell or market our customer lists to anyone. We recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of information we receive and collect, and how we safeguard your information.

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It allows the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

We also use third party advertisements. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program*) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
