REAL ESTATE CHAT CANADA
WEBSITE Privacy Policy

The following addresses the personal information we may collect about You during any interaction with our website (the “Website”). Personal Information is any information in whatever form about an identifiable individual. However, it does not include:
1.your name or information which would enable us to contact You at your place of employment including your name, position name or title, business telephone number, business address, business email and business fax number;

2.personal information about You that is publicly available information such as information available from a public registry or contained in a telephone book;

3.aggregated information that cannot be associated with You as a specific individual; and

4.information which is not about a person but which is about a company, association or another organization.

Your Acceptance of this Website Privacy Policy

By using the Website, You signify your agreement with and acceptance of RECC’s Website Privacy Policy. If You do not accept this Website Privacy Policy, You must not access or use the Website.
RECC may, at any time, without notice or liability, revise this Website Privacy Policy by updating this posting. You should periodically revisit this posting to review any revisions to this Website Privacy Policy. If any revision is not acceptable to You, You must cease accessing and using the Website. If You continue to access or use the Website after any revisions are posted You will be deemed to have accepted those revisions.
Types ofPersonal Information

In additional to the personal information which you voluntarily supply at a forum or other discussion site, we receive two types of personal information from users who visit the Website: (1) personal information that users provide through registration or other communication on the Website; and (2) personal information RECC gathers through aggregated tracking procedures, such as tallying the number of page views throughout the Website over a given period of time. The second type of personal information enables us to tailor the Website content to better meet the needs of our users. However, we assure You that RECC will not disclose your personal information to third parties without first obtaining your consent, except in conjunction with your participation in any online transaction RECC may offer from time to time.
How Does RECC Collect Personal Information?

(a)Registration: Personal information may be collected by specifically requesting it from You on the Website. Generally, this occurs when You register at the Website or otherwise request information or a service from us. Usually, the Website and its necessary service partners collect your personal information in order to facilitate the operation of the Website and to deliver the services it offers.

(b)Usage tracking:

(i)Use of IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever You are surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

RECC and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of the Website. When users request pages from the Website, our servers log the requesting users’ IP addresses. Except where You participate in any online transaction RECC may offer from time to time, we normally will not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that users’ sessions will be logged, but user identity remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Website Terms of Use or Forum Rules or to protect our service, the Website, or any person, or where it is otherwise permitted by law.
(ii)Use Of Cookies: Cookies are bits of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web surfing easier for You by saving your preferences while You visit the Website. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and, as such, You’ll encounter them at most major websites.

By showing how and when users use the Website, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Website are based on data collected using cookies, such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed in a given period of time. This kind of information is most easily tracked using cookies.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your Web browser to either refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent, with a concurrent option to accept or receive the cookie. However, note that some of the services offered on the Website will not function properly or may be considerably slower if You refuse to receive cookies. For example, without cookies, You will not be able to set personalized preferences. You might also encounter difficulties participating in online transactions offered on the Website from time to time.
Occasionally, You may receive cookies from our advertisers. RECC and/or its affiliates do not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.

With Whom Does RECC Share Your Personal Information?

As a general rule, RECC will not disclose any of your 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 other specified circumstances, including those described below:
(a)Business Partners & Sponsors: RECC may disclose some or all your personal information to business partners or sponsors, but this use will be specifically described to You prior to either the collection or transfer of the personal information. Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information, You give RECC 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 with the sponsor. If we intend on sharing more personal information with the sponsor than your e-mail, You will be notified prior to the transfer.

(b)Third Party Data and Data in the Aggregate: From time to time, on the Website You may be offered the opportunity to receive material or special offers from third parties. If You opt to receive information from these third parties, RECC will (with your permission) share your name and e-mail address with such third parties. Under confidentiality agreements, RECC may match user information with third party data. Also, RECC may disclose aggregated user statistics (i.e., where we disclose a characteristic of our users as a group and not as individuals) in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

(c)Other: RECC may 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 RECC’s Terms of Use of Forum Rules or may be causing (either intentionally or unintentionally) injury to or interference with RECC’s rights or property, other RECC users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. RECC 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 Use of Your Personal Information?
In case You change your mind or some personal information changes (such as your postal code or e-mail address), we will endeavour to provide a way to correct, update or remove the personal information You give us. Additionally, to keep You in control of the communications directed to You, we offer users the opportunity to “opt out” of having personal information shared with parties outside of RECC and/or its affiliates. If You wish, for any reason, to update your personal information or if You object to any use of your personal information described in this Website Privacy Policy, You may e-mail your requested change or objection to: [webmaster@realestatechatcanada.ca]. You may also contact [webmaster@realestatechatcanada.ca] with any questions or enquiries You may have concerning this Policy or about our privacy practices in general.
What happens when You link to a Third Party Website?

You should be aware that when You are on the Website You could be directed to other third party websites that are beyond our control. There may, from time to time, be links to other third party websites from the Website that take You outside our service areas. For example, if You “click” on a banner advertisement on the Website, the “click” typically takes You off the Website. These other sites may include websites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use RECC’s and/or its affiliates’ logos as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit information.
RECC and its affiliates do not control such third party websites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their content. RECC’s and/or its affiliates’ provision of hyperlinks to these websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. This Website Privacy Policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet and which is beyond the control of RECC and its affiliates.
Please keep in mind that whenever You give out personal information online (for example, via message boards or chat lines), that personal information can be collected and used by people You do not know. While RECC and its affiliates strive to protect their users’ personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information You disclose online and so You disclose such information at your own risk.
Is your Personal Information Secure from Others using the RECC Website?

The importance of securing your personal information is of the utmost concern to us. We exercise great 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 personal information, RECC and its affiliates cannot promise or warrant the security of any personal information You transmit to us. Any such transmission is done so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, RECC uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, ironclad security does not yet exist on the Internet.
