PRIVACY POLICY
Version
1.0 - Updated April 17th, 2005
At MBK
Real Estate LLC (referred to as MBK Real Estate, "us" or "we" in
this Privacy Policy), we are dedicated to serving your needs.
We know you care about your personal privacy. Because we care
about you we have adopted the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
Our Collection and Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information.
We collect and use information about you where we reasonably
believe it will help us administer our business or provide
products, services or other opportunities to you. The information
you give us, among other things, allows us to improve our marketing
and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Website usage,
improve our content and product offerings and customize our
Website's content, layout and services. For our records, we
may, in our sole discretion, retain original and updated information
for reasons such as technical constraints, dispute resolution,
troubleshooting and agreement enforcement. Because of the nature
of our business our products and services are not designed
to appeal to minors, we do not knowingly attempt to solicit
or receive any information from children.
MBK Real Estate collects information from our users at several
different points, including but not limited to the following:
Information You Provide To Us
Before you can use certain features of the Website (as defined
in the Terms of Use), we ask that you provide to us, among
other things, your Name, Address, Phone Number, and e-mail
address. We receive and may store the information you provide
to us. Certain information must be given to us. Other information
may be identified as optional, and you may choose whether to
provide it.
Correspondence
If you correspond with us we may retain such information.
In addition, where we have sent an email to you, we may receive
confirmation that you have opened it.
Cookies
A cookie is a file stored on your computer that contains data
you already gave to us. When you access our Website, we look
into the cookie to fill out some fields you would otherwise
have to reenter (but not passwords or any financial information)
and customize our Website to be more relevant to you. We also
then know it's you and not someone else. We don't put sensitive
or financial information into the cookie stored on your computer.
There are products commercially available that are designed
to help you disable cookies. Although we want you to be aware
that such products exist, please note that if you choose to
use them we may not be able to provide you with personalized
service, your use of the Website may be slowed, and it may
result in certain features and services not being available
to you.
Surveys,
Promotions & Contests
From time-to-time, our Website may request information from
you via surveys, promotions or contests. Participation in these
surveys, promotions or contests is completely voluntary and
you may choose whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include but is not limited to contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age level).
Information from Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources, such
as our agents, vendors and service providers and from publicly
available sources. For example, sometimes we receive updated
address information from third parties that we may use to update
our records.
Disclosing Information To Third Parties
We may reveal personally identifiable information about you
to third parties (including any affiliate or subsidiary we
may have) for their independent use, including, without limitation,
if: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is
provided to help promote or otherwise market a service or product
to you or complete a transaction for you; (3) the information
is provided to comply with the law, enforce our Terms of Use
or other agreements we have with you, or to protect our rights,
property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of others;
(4) the disclosure is done as part of a purchase, sale or transfer
of services or assets (for example, if substantially all of
our assets are acquired by another party, your information
may be one of the transferred assets); or (5) the information
is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who
perform functions on our behalf. We may also gather aggregated
data about you and disclose the results of such aggregated
(but not personally identifiable) information to third parties
for marketing or promotional purposes.
