We at The Real Market Experts Franchise, Inc. (referred
to as "RME," "We," "Us," or
"Our") recognize the importance of protecting
the privacy of certain information collected about the users
and visitors of Our Web Site (referred to as "User,"
"You" or "Your"). This Privacy Policy
discloses what information We gather, how We use it, and
how to correct or change it. At RME, it is Our intention
to give You an understanding about how We collect Your information
and the use We make of it in the course of Our business.
To that end, RME gathers two types of information about
You: 1) data that Users provide through optional, voluntary
registration on Our Web Site, and 2) data that RME gathers
through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying Web pages
that are viewed by Users throughout Our Web Site
However, be assured that RME will not disclose Personal
Information (as defined herein) to third parties without
Your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy
or disclosed to You when the information is submitted.
How Does RME Collect Information?
Optional Registration We collect information by specifically
requesting it from You. Generally this occurs when You register
at the Web Site or request information or a service. Usually,
We and Our business partners use Your information to operate
the Web Site and to deliver services. RME also uses Your
information to inform You about other products and/or services
available from RME and RME-affiliates.
Use of Tracking Use of Internet
Protocol ("IP") Addresses:
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned
to Your computer whenever You are surfing the Internet so
that Your computer can be identified by the main computers,
known as "Web servers," that "serve up"
Web pages. This allows Us to identify and gather general
information and data about You, such as the Web pages You
view.
RME collects IP addresses for the purposes of: helping
Us diagnose problems with Our main computers, for system
administration, to report aggregated information to Our
business partners, and to audit the use of Our Web Site.
When Users request Web pages from Our Web Site, Our Web
servers log the User's IP address. We do not normally link
IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which
means that a User’s session will be logged, but the
User will remain anonymous to Us. For example, We collect
and/or track the home server domain name, the type of computer,
and the type of Web browser used by You to access this Web
Site. Such collection and tracking information is gathered
by Us as You navigate through this Web Site, and shall be
used by Us for Our business purposes only.
We can, and will, use IP addresses to identify You when
We feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with Our Web
Site Terms of Use or to protect Our service, site, Users,
or others.
Use Of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information
that a Web site sends to Your computer for record-keeping
purposes, which information is stored in a file on Your
computer’s hard drive. Cookies make Web surfing easier
for You by saving Your preferences so that We can use the
saved information to facilitate Your use of Our Web Site
when You return to the Web Site. Cookies do not tell Us
Your individual identity unless You have chosen to provide
it to Us. We never save passwords or credit card information
in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard,
and as such, You will find that most major Web sites use
them.
By showing how and when Users use the Web Site, cookies
help Us see which areas of the Web Site are popular and
which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Web
Site are based on such data as total number of visitors
and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked
with cookies.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or
You can delete Your cookie file at any time. Most Web browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset Your
Web browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie
is being sent. However, note that some parts of RME and/or
RME-affiliates' services will not function properly or may
be considerably slower if You refuse cookies. For example,
without cookies, You will not be able to set personalized
preferences, and/or may have difficulty completing marketing
transactions.
RME and/or RME-affiliates have two (2) primary uses for
cookies. First, We use them to specify a User’s preferences.
Second, We use cookies to track Web site usage trends and
patterns. This helps Us understand Our Users’ needs
better and improve areas of Our Web Site. While both of
these activities depend on the use of cookies, You have
the option of disabling (refusing) the cookies via Your
Web browser preferences.
You may occasionally get cookies from Our business partners.
RME and/or RME-affiliates do not control these cookies.
The use of advertising cookies sent by such third-party
Web servers is standard in the Internet industry.
With Whom Does RME Share Information?
As a general rule, RME will not disclose any specific personal
information that You submit to Us about You ("Personal
Information") in a manner that connects You with the
Personal Information, except when We have Your permission
or under special circumstances, such as when We believe
in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances
described below. The following describes some of the ways
that Your Personal Information may be disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors:
RME may disclose some or all of Your Personal Information
to business partners or sponsors, but this use will be specifically
described to You prior to data collection or prior to transferring
the data. Many promotions offer opportunities to request
additional information from sponsors. By requesting more
information, You give RME permission to transfer Your Personal
Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill Your request.
In many instances, only Your e-mail address will be shared.
If more Personal Information will be shared with the sponsor,
You will be notified prior to the transfer.
Other:
RME may also disclose account information in special cases
when We have reason to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be violating Our Terms of Use, or
may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally
or unintentionally) with any of RME’s rights or property,
other Users, or anyone else. RME may disclose or access
account information when We believe in good faith that the
law requires it and for administrative and other purposes
that We deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve
Our products and services.
How Can You Control The Usage Of
Information?
In case You change Your mind or some Personal Information
changes (such as Your zip code or e-mail address), We will
try to provide a way to correct, update or remove the Personal
Information that You give us. We also give You the opportunity
to control the communications We direct to You. If a User
wishes to update Personal Information or objects to any
usage provided herein for any reason, he/she may e-mail
the requested change to: customercare@realmarketexperts.com.
Is Information Secure From Others
Using The RME Web Site?
The security of all information associated with Our Users
is an important concern to Us. We exercise care in providing
secure transmission of Your information from Your computer
to Our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while We strive to protect Your information, RME and RME-affiliates
can't ensure or warrant the security of any information
You transmit to Us or from Our on-line products or services,
and You do so at Your own risk. Once We receive Your transmission,
RME uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality
of Your information, such as firewalls, encryption and Secure
Socket Layers (SSL). However, "perfect security"
does not exist on the Internet.
