HOMEsales.com collects information from our users during the Contact Us/Referral Associate Application submission process on our Web site and from subsequent follow-up by a HOMEslaes.com employee or representative.

Our “Contact Us” forms ask users to provide general contact information (such as name, phone, email address), our Mortgage Application form require unique identifiers (such as Social Security Numbers, Account Information, License Information). We use this information in order to provide information, products, and services that are relevant and useful for HOMEsales.com clients. We also use this information, when necessary, to explain new or changed program benefits, tailor visitors' experiences at our Web site, and to offer and recommend valuable products and services.

Partner Offers and Promotions

These offers may be presented online at HOMEsales.com or sent via email, in our personalized monthly newsletter and/or through other email contact. Anonymous, aggregate information about customers who match a particular offer may be provided to our partners, but no personally identifiable information about you will be shared with our partners unless you respond to the offer and subsequently provide it to them. Your personally identifiable information and additional offline follow-up information will only be shared with partners essential to the delivery of HOMEsales.com services.

Cookies and Third Party Advertisers

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Currently, we do not use cookies in the process of delivering online services to our registered members. However, in the future we may use cookies to track aggregate traffic statistics on our site, deliver content specific to your interests, and to ensure you do not see the same ad repeatedly during your web site visit. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

HOMEsales.com reserves the right to work with third parties to serve ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. This policy only covers the use of cookies by HOMEsales.com and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. HOMEsales.com does not have control, nor access to the information contained in its advertisers' cookies. HOMEsales.com will provide links for our customers to review and find out more detailed information on how any third party manages the privacy of information in conjunction with serving ads on this site.

Sharing

Although unlikely, HOMEsales.com may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. If requested by law enforcement or judicial authorities, we will provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate documentation.

Other companies that place advertising or content on our site may collect information about you through the use of cookies when you view or click on their advertising or content (using the same techniques as described above). Because of the way the Internet operates technically, we cannot control this collection of information--but we can control which companies are allowed to place such advertising on our site. As the consumer, you should contact these advertisers or content providers that place information on our site directly if you have any questions about their use of the information they may collect. Anyone placing advertising on our Web site can only collect anonymous information about you unless you actively provide personally identifiable information to that entity. We also encourage our co-branding partners to adopt privacy policies similar to this one.

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as follows:
We do not knowingly share any of your personal information with third parties. We may at times provide you with opportunities to receive information about additional products and services by sharing customer information.

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, professional service establishment, and customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that HOMEsales.com, or substantially all of its assets, is acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets. Please view “Notice of Changes” to understand what options members have.

Protection of HOMEsales.com (“Visient Portal Holdings – GCRP, LLC.”) and others.

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law, enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of HOMEsales.com our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Your personally identifiable information and additional offline follow-up information will only be shared with partners and other companies related to the delivery of HOMEsales.com services.

Links

This Web site contains links to other sites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. Our privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

In some of our Web pages there are automatic links (redirect code) that send users to different sites or offers we believe will be of interest to you based on the page you have been visiting. You can always return to the original page by using your browser's "back" button.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. This Web site takes every reasonable precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both on and offline.

All collected information is encrypted and is protected with sophisticated encryption software --SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just "surfing." While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. HOMEsales.com employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

If you have any questions about the security at our Web site, you can contact us by email. (LINK TO E-MAIL HERE)

From time to time our site may request information from users via surveys, contests, or special offers. Participation in these surveys, contests, or offers is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Established members will occasionally get information on products, services, special offers, or a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we provide the option not to receive these types of communications.

Notification of Changes

If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
