Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy and we are committed to protecting it
As an internet user, you have a right to know how the information you provide on this
website is used. The Austin Home Search Plus privacy policy informs you how we protect the
privacy and security of information collected on this website.
Information Gathered
We gather information about website visitors to improve the caliber of online information and
services offered. The two types of information we collect are website activity and
personal information data. How this data is collected and used is outlined below.
Website Activity
We gather data on the website activity at Home Search Plus. This information is collected on a cumulative
basis in public areas of the website or on an individual basis in the "account" areas of our website
that require website visitors to sign in by using an access code (userID and password). This data may
include information such as how many people visit our website; the pages they visit and the features they use;
how long they stay on our website; and the domain name of the website from which visitors are connecting.
Website Activity data is generally gathered through the use of cookies. A "cookie" is a small piece of information
that an Internet site sends to a visitor's computer. In some cases, it is stored on the visitor's hard drive. Cookies
can save the visitor's name, access codes, screen preferences, and the pages of the site viewed by the visitor. Visitors
may decline receipt of the Internet cookie by using the appropriate feature of their Web software, if available.
Keep in mind, however, that declining the Internet cookie may interfere with a visitor's ability to view certain content
on the Home Search Plus website.
Personal Information
We collect personal information such as name, address, phone number, email address, etc. that website visitors provide when completing
any online form, application, survey, or when they initiate a contact request. If you would like to modify any information that you
provided us on a form, you can do so by sending us a request using the Contact form.
Information provided in a request for service or information may be provided to Home Search Plus Real Estate Agents.
Reasons for Gathering Information
Information is collected by Home Search Plus for a variety of purposes, including:
- Marketing and promotional purposes
- Statistical analysis of users' behavior
- Product development
- Content improvement
- Customize content and layout of the website
Collection of Personal Information From Children
This website is not directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of
eighteen. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate with them
in the various interactive activities available on the Internet.
Email
To protect against and to correct misunderstandings, we may monitor electronic communications conducted with us. We may also from time to time
send you marketing information by email about our products and services. If you do not wish to receive email from us, please communicate that with us on
our Contact form.
Hyperlinks
This website may contain hyperlinks or "links," to and from other Internet sites. These sites may have different privacy practices than the ones described here.
Since this Internet Privacy Policy applies solely to Home Search Plus, please remember to read the privacy statements of the other Internet sites you visit.
Security Standards
We work hard to ensure that our systems are secure and that they meet industry standards. Where appropriate, we employ firewalls, encryption technology, user access
codes (e.g., userIDs and passwords) and other access control mechanisms to control access to systems and data. We continue to assess new technology to evaluate its
ability to provide additional protection of personal information we collect on this site.
Internet Privacy Policy
This policy is effective as of June 1, 2005. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to
the website. We recommend that visitors to our website re-visit this Privacy Policy on occasion to learn of changes to our privacy practices and policies.
