We
respect your privacy and will not release your information to anyone
outside of Herth Real Estate.
Online Privacy
We
understand the concerns Internet users have about the privacy and
security of information. This policy tells you about our priorities for
protecting 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. There are two forms of data that we collect on the
website: Site Visitorship Data and Personal Information Data. How we
collect this information and what we do with it is discussed below.
Site Visitorship Data
We routinely gather data
on website activity. This information, "Site Visitorship Data," is
collected on an aggregate basis on public areas of our website, or on
an individual basis on the password protected areas of our website that
require website visitors to log on using an access code (e.g., userID
and/or password). Site Visitorship Data may include information such as
(i) how many people visit our website; (ii) the pages they visit and
the features they use; (iii) how long they stay on our website; and
(iv) the domain name of the Internet website from which visitors are
connecting. Site Visitorship Data is generally gathered through the use
of cookies and pixel tags.
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, the pages of the site viewed by the visitor,
and the advertisements viewed or clicked by the visitor. Visitors may
decline receipt of the Internet cookie by using the appropriate feature
of their Web software, if available. Declining the Internet cookie may,
however, interfere with a visitor's ability to view certain content in
our website.
A "pixel tag" is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of our
website and is used to track an individual user's activity on the
password protected areas of our website. A pixel tag is also known as a
"clear gif."
Personal Information Data
We collect Personal
Information Data such as name, address, phone number, email address,
etc. that website visitors provide when they complete any online form,
application, survey, or when they initiate a contact request. If you
would like to modify any information that you gave us on a form you can
do so by completing a new form and submitting it.
We are committed to protecting your personal information. We do not disclose this information to any other third party.
Collection of Personal Information From Children
This
website is not directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect or
post information from children under the age of eighteen (18). 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. Further, we may, from time to time, send you marketing
messages by email about our products and services. If you do not wish
to receive emailed marketing messages from us, use Block Email to add
your email address to our database. Note that since this process is
automated, we will not respond. If you wish to communicate with us
directly, please contact us.
Hyperlinks
This website may contain hyperlinks
or "links," to and from other Internet sites. These sites may have
different privacy practices from the one described here. Since this
Internet Privacy Policy applies solely to this website, 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 August 1, 2009. We reserve the right to change this Internet
Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon
posting to our website. We recommend that visitors to our website
re-visit this Internet Privacy Policy on occasion to learn of changes
to our privacy practices and policies.
Contact
It is important to us to hear what
visitors have to say about our website, our services, or any other
issues. If you have any questions and/or concerns, or want to let us
know what you think, please contact us.
