Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operations of VESTUS, we gather certain types of information about our users. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") explains the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how you may correct or change information that VESTUS may collect.
Information Collected by VESTUS
VESTUS collects two types of information about users: personal information (such as name and e-mail address) and aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis).
Personal Information
Personal information is collected when users subscribe or register for membership services. These services include receiving electronic email alerts, creating personal property portfolios, searching and accessing property data and other functionality as may be provided on our site. We may collect personal information from you in other areas of our sites, but we will provide on-screen notification that we are doing so. We may collect e-mail addresses from users who send us support mail or request technical or other help. This information enables VESTUS to improve our sites to make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.
Aggregate Information
One method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most frequently or the search terms you enter), and information volunteered by you (such as survey or registration information), is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to you automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP address.
Our sites record IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on our sites. We also create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows these parties to advertise more effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to your personal interests. An advertiser will not know that you clicked its advertisement unless you voluntarily and explicitly permit us to provide such information.
Search Terms
As a measure of user interest, we track search terms that are entered into our sites search features. Search data and user-provided information help to improve the relevancy of search results by learning user preferences and prioritizing search results accordingly. The intended result is a more efficient search feature for visitors to our sites.
Use of Cookies
Our sites use 'cookies' to record information. A cookie is a small data file that Web sites store on your hard drive when you visit them. Cookies allow us to measure activity on our sites and to improve your user experience and allowing you to visit various members-only parts of our sites without re-entering password information. Cookies allow us to determine which areas and features of our sites are most popular by measuring user activity. This information allows us to make improvements and updates to improve your VESTUS experience. Our sites do not use cookies to retrieve any information from your computer. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of our sites, such as the members-only areas will not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers if you click through one of their advertisments. VESTUS does not control these cookies, and they are not subject to VESTUS 's Privacy Policy.
Use of Information Collected by VESTUS
VESTUS uses the personal information we collect to improve the content of our sites; to customize the content and/or layout of our sites for each individual user; to notify users about updates to our sites or opportunities that we believe will be of interest to users; and to investigate violations of our terms and conditions of use.
Sharing Data with VESTUS Affiliates
VESTUS may share the personal and aggregate information we collect with our affiliates and other sites operated by or for VESTUS .
VESTUS Security
VESTUS 's services allow you to register and/or subscribe to our services. These actions may require credit card and personal contact information. VESTUS 's subscription services store your information and send it to our bank automatically when you make your register or purchase, using military strength encryption technology to protect your information during this transfer.
CHILDREN AND PRIVACY
VESTUS encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online, and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. VESTUS relies on our users to be truthful.
Individuals Under 13
No information should be submitted to or posted on our sites by users under the age of 13. Individuals under the age of 13 are not allowed to become registered users of our sites.
Individuals 13 Through 17
VESTUS requests that children under the age of 18 not submit or post information to our sites. If an individual between the ages of 13 and 17 does so, VESTUS may collect information (including personally identifying information). This information may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by VESTUS and may, with the user's permission, be shared with pre-screened third parties. If a user or his/her parent or guardian changes his/her mind with respect to such use, that user, parent or guardian may stop that use either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her registration information online.
Links to Other Sites
Our sites contain links to sites other than our own. Those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as VESTUS . Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners who may use our logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you, and may collect information and use it in a way inconsistent with VESTUS 's privacy policy. VESTUS does not control the content that appears on these sites. Such sites may contain information that content providers independent of VESTUS have created, maintained, published, posted or otherwise made available.
The use of any information or materials that you may access at these external sites is purely voluntary. You should not rely on their contents without independent and thorough review of the accuracy, completeness, effectiveness, timeliness and correct sequencing. These external sites may also refer to specific commercial products, processes, or services by trade name, trademark, service mark, manufacturer or otherwise. Unless VESTUS has provided explicit authority, such references in no way indicate our endorsement, recommendation or preference.
Additional Information
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of VESTUS to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, VESTUS cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall VESTUS be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages that result from the use of the information or materials on our sites, even if VESTUS or an authorized representative of VESTUS , has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
