Last updated on 9/01/2011 Your privacy is important to us. To help you understand how we protect your privacy, we have adopted a policy that explains our online information practices. This web site (the "Site") is operated by Housewise,Inc. This Policy does not describe Housewise's collection, use and disclosure of information through means other than this Site (e.g., off-line) or the collection, use and disclosure practices of any Affiliate or other third party. For information on the privacy policy applicable to an Affiliate's information collection, use and disclosure practices, please review the privacy policy on the applicable Affiliate's web site. Also, please note that this Site contains links to other web sites. Housewise and its Affiliates are not responsible for the web sites, content, or privacy practices of any third party. By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy and agree to the Housewise.com’s terms of service. How (and what) we learn about you:Housewise.com collects personally identifiable information about you to improve your buying and selling experience. In most cases, our collection of personal information involves you giving that information to us to receive services or to participate in specific site activities. When you register with the site to post property to buy or sell, we ask for your e-mail address and additional information to help refine your searches and allow us to serve you better. We will not sell your information to any third party. Please see unless part of a sale or merger of the company. In order to make your visits to our site more productive and enjoyable, we use "cookies" to track your visits. Downloaded onto your computer from our servers, cookies record information that helps our site respond to your preferences and interests. Cookies cannot be opened or run on your computer and they cannot infect your computer with viruses. You can disable cookies or otherwise manage them through tools provided with your browser software and with third-party software packages. If you turn off cookies, many Housewise.com’s features will not work as well or at all. What we do with what you tell us:We use personally identifiable information about you to better provide the services on our site. Unless you tell us, in writing, that you don't want your personal information used for other purposes, (a) we may use your information to inform you about products, services, and promotions that might be of potential interest to you, as well as to get your feedback about our site and partners, and (b) we may send personally identifying information to third parties, Realtors, private sellers, advertisers, and others who work directly with Housewise to provide services to you. Generally, this sharing of information occurs because you specifically request additional information, such as additional property information from a Realtor or private seller. Housewise does not control what these third parties may do with personally identifiable information they receive. However, we believe that all of our service partners have their own privacy policies in place. Data Security: Housewise's Secure Server Software (SSL) encrypts all account and personal information you input before it is sent to us. In addition, all customer data we collect is carefully protected from unauthorized access.

Ad Banners & Affiliate Links: Housewise may run advertisements and service offers from third party advertisers, sponsors, and other companies. What happens to any personal information you provide in response to those advertisements and offers can be obtained by contacting the company who makes the advertisement or offer. We may establish links to sponsor, affiliate, advertiser or other sites. Housewise is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any sites promoted on Housewise.com or to which links on Housewise.com connect.
Sellers and buyers of Real Estate: You may provide personal information to agents, private parties, or other entities who are offering to sell or buy property on Housewise.com. Housewise is not responsible for what any of those entities do with personal information you provide to them, even if that information is provided through use of Housewise.com.
Review of Information Collected: We do not currently have a process by which you can review or request changes to personally identifiable information collected by us. We will do the best we can to respond to review requests but can make no promises about our ability to respond quickly or effectively to your request. Any such request should be made to moreinfo@housewise.com. Complaint Procedure: If you feel that any of your personal information or other data collected from or about you has been used improperly, please immediately contact moreinfo@housewise.com
In no event will Housewise, Inc be liable for any consequential damages, including lost profits; any emotional distress, pain and suffering or similar tort damages; or any punitive or exemplary damages unless (a) the arbitrator determines that we acted maliciously and with specific intent of harming you in the use of your personal information, or (b) the arbitrator decides this limitation of liability is ineffective under the laws of your State.
