data Allspaces.com does store on Allspaces.com's system
is protected by firewall and password. Allspaces.com's network firewall is a combination of hardware
and software designed to keep unauthorized
users from accessing Allspaces.com's network. The password

prevents others from accessing your information.

What information is collected from me?
|
| |
|
| |
The kinds of information Allspaces.com collects from
you will vary, depending on how you use the
Sites. It’s possible to browse the Sites
without submitting any Personally Identifiable
Information (“personal information”)
at all, but if you choose to take advantage
of some of Allspaces.com's products and services, you
may be asked to provide information such as
a user name and password, your full name,
e-mail address, phone number, address, or,
for certain financial products or services,
your Social Security number and banking information,
and for certain e-commerce transactions your
credit card information. Whenever Allspaces.com asks
for this kind of information, Allspaces.com strives to
provide a link to this Privacy Policy to help
you understand how your personal information
will be used before you decide whether to
disclose it. |
| |
|
| |
In addition to the personal information
you choose to submit, Allspaces.com's systems are set
up to gather certain anonymous data to help Allspaces.com to better understand how the Sites are
being used and how Allspaces.com can improve them. This
automatically gathered data includes your
computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”)
address, statistics about how visitors navigate
through the Sites and information provided
through the use of “cookies” (which
is described in more detail below). |
| |
|
| |
As you visit the Sites, be aware that third
parties may at times be able to gather information
from and about you. For example, third party
advertiser servers, companies that place advertisements
on the Sites and companies offering products
or services through the Sites may use cookies
to collect and use information about you and
may collect information that you submit. In
these cases, the third parties will use such
information according to their own privacy
policies that may differ from this Privacy
Policy. |
| |
|
| |
How is my information used? |
| |
|
| |
The use of your information depends on the
context in which it is collected. Therefore,
pay special attention to the categories below
that relate to the features of the Sites that
you wish to utilize. In addition to using
your personal information as set forth below,
note that Allspaces.com may disclose the information
that Allspaces.com collects about you when Allspaces.com has reason
to believe that it is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against persons
or entities who may be causing injury to you,
to Allspaces.com or to others, and may also disclose
such information when Allspaces.com believes that the
law requires it, such as identifying (but
not limited to) violations of Allspaces.com's Terms of
Use. |
| |
|
| |
Allspaces.com may link information collected from you
through various means, including information
collected automatically and through the use
of cookies and purchase information, or other
personal information you provide to help Allspaces.com offer content, advertisements, products and
services that Allspaces.com believes will be of interest
to you. |
| |
|
| |
Registration: The personal information
you provide when you become a registered user
of one of the Sites is used primarily to help Allspaces.com customize your online experience. This
personal information may also be shared among
the Sites to make your use of the Sites more
convenient by, for example, limiting the number
of times you have to register with Allspaces.com.
Your e-mail address serves as a unique identifier
in Allspaces.com's record system, and it is
used together with your password to prevent
unauthorized access to any information you
choose to store on the Sites. The data you
give Allspaces.com about your personal preferences and
demographics (e.g., your age, ZIP code, occupation
or the like) may be used to help Allspaces.com offer
content, advertisements, products, and services
that Allspaces.com believes will be of interest
to you. In addition, Allspaces.com may share
this information, in aggregate form, with
Allspaces.com's current and potential advertisers
so that they can present advertisements more
effectively. If you forget your password for
any registered area of the Sites, Allspaces.com
has an automated password recovery system,
which can be accessed by clicking on the “Forgot
Password?” link on the sign in page.
Customer Care does not have access to your
password. Please note that Allspaces.com does
not knowingly accept or store any Personally
Identifiable Information about any individual
under the age of 13 under any circumstances.
If Allspaces.com becomes aware that Personally
Identifiable Information regarding an individual
under the age of 13 has been stored, Allspaces.com
will promptly delete it from Allspaces.com's
records. |
| |
|
| |
Unless you specify that you’d prefer
not to hear from Allspaces, Allspaces.com
may also use the e-mail
address you provide at the time of registration
to contact you for promotional or other purposes.
You may have these communications terminated
at any time. If you indicate that you’re
interested in hearing from other companies,
Allspaces.com may also share your Contact Information
with such companies for that purpose. Allspaces.com may
have to contact you now and then to inform
you of changes to your service, a change in
this Privacy Policy or other administrative
purposes. These administrative e-mails will
not contain any advertisements. |
| |
|
| |
Tools: The Sites allow you to use
many helpful tools, such as financial and
home improvement calculators, real estate
search tools and other tools most of which
will not ask you to disclose any personal
information. These tools are for your benefit,
and the information you submit when you use
them (typically impersonal data) is not disclosed
to anyone or used for any purpose other than
to provide you with the service you’re
seeking. However there are several online
tools where Allspaces.com may ask your permission
to use the personal information you enter
in order to offer services, products or information
that Allspaces.com believes may be of use to you or to
merge such information into your profile registration.
When using such tools you will always be given
the opportunity to opt-out of sharing or storing
such information. |
| |
|
| |
User-Requested Services: You may
choose to request products or services of
a more substantial or personal nature when
using the Sites. For example, you may apply
for a loan, request Allspaces.com's help in locating a
remodeling contractor, store your preferences
for convenience in using the Sites or make
an online purchase. For products and services
offered to you jointly by Allspaces.com and a third party,
your personal information may be shared with
or independently gathered by the third party.
In these situations, Allspaces.com will only
use your personal information as outlined
in this Privacy Policy, but the third party
may use the information in different ways.
You can tell when a product or service is
offered by a third party, because a page of
the Sites will be “co-branded”
and will display the third party’s logo
and/or name along with Allspaces.com's own, or you will
be linked to the third party’s site
to complete the transaction. Please be aware
that each company Allspaces.com does business with has
its own policies regarding the use and protection
of your information that may differ from those
outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you are
concerned about how your personal information
might be used or protected by a third party,
Allspaces.com encourages you to become familiar with
its Privacy Policy before using the service
or requesting the product. |

|

User-Initiated Communication: Portions
of the Sites enable you to send e-mail to
Allspaces.com or to third parties (such as
Real Estate
Professionals) and to participate in public
bulletin boards and discussion groups. All
postings to public bulletin boards and discussion
groups become Allspaces.com's property. Whenever
you choose
to initiate these kinds of communication
with Allspaces, or anyone else, you may expect
to be contacted
in return. Also, remember that Allspaces.com's
bulletin boards and discussion groups are
open to the
public, and therefore, your postings can
be seen by anyone and are not protected by
Allspaces.com or any other entity. Please
use your own discretion
when deciding what to post publicly and whom
to contact. Allspaces.com reserves the right,
in Allspaces.com's sole discretion, to edit
or delete inappropriate
postings from Allspaces.com's bulletin boards
and discussion groups; provided, however,
the reservation
of this right shall not, under any circumstances,
obligate Allspaces.com to conduct such editing
or deletions. |
| |
|
| |
Referrals: If you participate in
any referral service Allspaces.com may offer, Allspaces.com will
use the information you submit to determine
which of Allspaces.com's participating professional(s)
may be able to serve your needs. Allspaces.com may then
forward your name, Contact Information and
other responses contained on Allspaces.com's sign-up form
to the selected professional(s), who may then
contact you using that information. Any information
you provide also may be used by Allspaces.com in accordance
with the uses set out in the registration
section, above. In some cases Allspaces.com may store
these communications to home professionals
or other third parties, but solely for the
purpose of assisting the professional in tracking
their communications. |
| |
|
| |
How do I "opt-out"? |
| |
|
| |
You also have the ability to terminate
e-mail correspondence from Allspaces.com
at any time. You may
be given the chance to opt-out of direct
mailings when you disclose your e-mail address
to Allspaces.
Further, you can reply to any of Allspaces.com's
mails and type “Unsubscribe” in the
subject line or send an e-mail to Privacy@Allspaces.com
with your request and Allspaces.com will promptly remove
you from that particular e-mail service. If
you feel concerned about the cookies that
are sent between Allspaces.com's computers and yours,
you may, through your Web browser, either
choose to reject them automatically, or have
your computer prompt you before accepting
them. Generally, this is done by selecting
the appropriate cookies setting on your Web
browser (usually found in “Internet
Options” or “Preferences”).
Please note, however, that some of Allspaces.com's features
and services depend on the use of cookies.
Therefore, you will be unable to take advantage
of those features if you choose not to accept
cookies. |
| |
|
| |
How can I access and change my information?
|
| |
|
| |
To view, edit or delete the personal information
you submitted on the Sites during registration
or elsewhere as described above, follow the
instructions found in the “My Profile”
or “Edit Your Profile” area of
the Site(s) where you registered or submitted
personal information. |
| |
|
| |
What do I do if I no longer want Market
Information sent to me? |
| |
|
| |
How is my information protected? |
| |
|
| |
Whenever personal information about you
is stored on Allspaces.com's computers, that information
is password-protected from unauthorized access
or use. In addition, this information is kept
only on servers that are located behind a
firewall, which makes their contents inaccessible
to outside users. |
| |
|
| |
Since your Social Security and financial
information is especially sensitive, Allspaces.com takes
special care to keep it secure. Allspaces.com
will only transmit or ask for this information
over secure Internet connections, using SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, the currently
accepted standard for online security, and
security keys. In addition, Allspaces.com requires password
authentication from any third parties you’ve
authorized to receive this information. Finally,
your Social Security number, credit card number
and financial information are rarely stored
on Allspaces.com's servers, as most orders are processed
by Allspaces.com's marketing allies providing the service
or product requested. While this means you
may have to enter this information more than
once, Allspaces.com believes the added security is worth
the extra effort. In those instances where
Allspaces.com stores such data, Allspaces.com protects the data
on secure servers and transmits the information
using secure Internet connections. |
| |
|
| |
Of course, Allspaces.com appreciates your help in safeguarding
the integrity of your own and others’
privacy. Allspaces.com hopes you’ll use common
sense whenever you disclose personal information
over the Internet. Just as importantly, Allspaces.com encourages you to let Allspaces.com know immediately
if you suspect that the information you share
with Allspaces.com is being used in any way contrary
to this Privacy Policy. Finally, unfortunately
no data transmission over the Internet or
the storage of information on servers can
be guaranteed to be 100% secure and while
Allspaces.com strives to protect your personal information
(as described herein), Allspaces.com cannot guarantee
or warrant its complete security. |
