Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial web sites, our web site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server logs to collect information about how our web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the web pages viewed, time spent at our web site, and the web site visited just before and just after our web site. This information is collected on an aggregate basis, and assists us to design and arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our web site to better meet your needs. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.

 
Use Of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a web site sends to your computer for record-keeping purposes, which information is stored in a file on your computer. Cookies make web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our web site when you return to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll find that most major web sites use them.

By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our Customers' needs.

Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of eList Realty, LLC will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences, and/or may have difficulty completing marketing transactions.

eList Realty, LLC has two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. For example, Customers can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't have to tell us repeatedly about certain features in the home you are seeking. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' web site usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers' needs better and improve areas of services that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling the cookies via your browser preferences.

 

With whom does eList Realty, LLC share our Information?
We recognize that the information we collect from you may, in itself, or when tied together with other information, identify you as a specific individual. Your account information and personal data is maintained by eList Realty, LLC in order to fulfill our legal and regulatory requirements and to provide you with the information, products and services you have requested. As a general rule, eList Realty, LLC will not disclose your personal information to any third party except with your permission or under special circumstances, as discussed below.

eList Realty, LLC will disclose to interested parties information pertaining to the sale of a house listed in our database. This information will be posted on our web site and in the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for the purpose of marketing the home to the greatest number of potential buyers.

By requesting information or services from eList Realty, LLC, you give eList Realty, LLC permission to transfer your information, as necessary, to the appropriate parties, such as the title insurer, loan underwriter, appraiser, or inspector you select, so that they can fulfill your request and provide you with the services you require. All personally identifiable information you provide to eList Realty, LLC will be made available to your eList Realty, LLC Agent. Generally, your eList Realty, LLC Agent will coordinate the disclosure of your information to third parties. This will be done in much the same way as a traditional Real Estate Agent shares information with third parties.

The various lending institutions, title companies and other service providers involved in your real estate transaction may each have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your personally identifiable information. We endeavor to review these other policies in order to ensure that the philosophies and values of our affiliates are in alignment with our own. However, eList Realty, LLC accepts no responsibility or liability for third party privacy policies or the actions of any third party with respect to your personally identifiable information.

eList Realty, LLC does conduct research on our users' demographics, interests and behavior based on the information provided by the user and from our server log files. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis only. For example, we may review how many users are women, or the average price range of our users. eList Realty, LLC may share this aggregated data with our business affiliates or, if required by law, any government agency. However, we will not sell or lease personally identifying information to any third party.

eList Realty, LLC may disclose personally identifiable information in certain circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to contact, identify or bring legal action against someone who may be intentionally or unintentionally causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, our users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose personally identifiable information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative or other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain and improve our products and services.

Our web site provides links to other web sites. Please be aware that when you click on one of these links, you are going to another web site even though the eList Realty, LLC logo, banner, or tool bar may still be visible. Information you enter on these other web sites is being collected by that site, not eList Realty, LLC. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy policy may differ from ours.
 

How can you control the usage of Information?
On occasion, we may use your e-mail address to send you communications with information about your transaction, valuable tips, or services and product information that we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive such communications from eList Realty, LLC, simply contact us at service@eListRealty.com.

You are free to not provide any of the information requested on the eList Realty, LLC web site. However, certain information may be necessary or required by law in order for you to obtain some eList Realty, LLC services. Therefore, if you choose not to provide the requested information you may not be able to access certain eList Realty, LLC services.

Your eList Realty, LLC account can be deleted or de-activated at any time by contacting service@eListRealty.com. However, you will not be able to access any of the products and services offered by eList Realty, LLC if you choose to delete your account. Please note that we may be required by law to retain certain personally identifiable or demographic information about you even if you choose to delete your account. For example, some loan programs are governed by state and federal law and require the disclosure and retention of certain information regarding loan applicants. However, we will only retain or use such information as is required by law. Please note that eList Realty, LLC will never share or sell your information.

Is our Information secure from others using the eList Realty, LLC site?
The importance of security of all information associated with our Customers is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, eList Realty, LLC can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, eList Realty, LLC uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

Your continued use of eList Realty, LLC's sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
