1. Information We Collect Generally, two types of information are collected from Site visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information is information provided by you, the user of or visitor to the Site, and may include your name and residential or business address, usernames and passwords assigned to you as a part of registering to use the site, and other information that may be used to identify you personally. Non-identifiable Information is tracking or browser information that may be automatically gathered  when you visit the Site or open an email from us, via cookies or otherwise; for example, IP address,  browser type and the pages you visit. 

2. How We Collect Information A. Through the Registration Process: When you become a registered user of the Site, we may  gather the information you provided as part of the registration process, including but not limited to:  first name and your ZIP code. We also obtain information regarding your interests as you tell us  about your plans and goals for your property through your use of the Your Binder feature, which you  may set up as a part of the site. B. Electronically Through Cookies and Other Means: Cookies are small files that are sent and stored  on your computer when you visit our Site or when you open an email from the Site that enable us to  recognize your computer the next time you visit the Site. There are two types of cookies, Persistent  Cookies and Session Cookies. Persistent Cookie is a cookie that remains on your computer after you exit your browser and can be  used by your browser on future visits to the Site or by third party vendors when you visit certain other  websites in order to allow advertisers and content owners to improve your web experience. These  cookies may be used to tailor ad content of other sites that you may visit in the future. They may also collect data such as your browser type, your operating system, web pages visited, time of visits,  content viewed, and other clickstream data, none of which will include personal information about  you. Session Cookie is a cookie that is deleted from your computer once you disconnect from, or leave,  our Site. The use of cookies is considered industry standard. However, if your browser permits, you may  choose to decline any cookies we use, but note this action may disable portions of our Site. Other Means to collect information while you are connected to our Site include Web Beacons and  Embedded Scripts. Web Beacons are electronic images or a web programming code included in our web page that is  used for several purposes, including but not limited to: counting visitors to the Site and counting  particular articles viewed. Additionally, this code allows us to understand the time and date of when a user has opened an email and when he/she has utilized a link within the email to visit a website, allowing us to collect analytics about our traffic, customize our services, and send you ads about our services. You may also disable our web beacons in our emails by turning images “off” in your email client (e.g., Outlook, Outlook Express). Please see your email client for more information. Embedded Scripts are programming codes designed to collect information about your use of the site, including links that you select. This code is only active while you are connected to the site and is deactivated or deleted thereafter. 

DO-NOT-TRACK DISCLOSURE: Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that allows you to communicate to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our system may not respond to Do Not Track requests or headers from some or all browsers. C. Through Sales Made on the Site: If you purchase products or services from the Site, the information you provide while completing your purchase is used to help us provide the product or service you purchased. When you purchase a product or service offered by a third party, either via a page on the Site that has our name as well as the third-party name and/or logo or through a link to the third-party site, your Personal Information may be shared with or collected by a third party. Information provided to the third-party site will be governed by that third-party’s privacy policy. D. Contests and Sweepstakes: Participation in contests and sweepstakes is voluntary and may require registration. Data you provide for promotions or contests on our Site, which may be sponsored by third parties, may include information about you and how to contact you and that information could be used by us or disclosed to third parties who have sponsored or otherwise contributed to the contest or sweepstakes.
