BEGLIN REAL ESTATE Corporation Privacy Policy


We at BEGLIN REAL ESTATE Corporation (referred to as "BEGLIN REAL ESTATE," "we," "us," or "our" herein) recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of individual-specific information ("Information') collected about our customers and prospective customers (referred to as "Customers," "you" or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At BEGLIN REAL ESTATE, it is our intention to give you as much control as possible over your privacy in regard to your Information and the use we make of it in the course of your use of our website located at www.century21.com (referred to as "website" or "our site").

To that end, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through registration on our site and data BEGLIN REAL ESTATE gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to Customers'needs better. However, be assured that BEGLIN REAL ESTATE will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent.

How does BEGLIN REAL ESTATE collect Information?

  • Registration

Information is collected by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register at a site or request information or a service. Usually, the BEGLIN REAL ESTATE site and its necessary service partners use your Information to operate the site and to deliver its services. BEGLIN REAL ESTATE sites also use your Information to inform you of other products or services available from BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and its affiliates.

  • Usage tracking

Use of IP Addresses An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

BEGLIN REAL ESTATE 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 our site. When Customers request pages from BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its affiliates'sites, our servers log the Customers IP addresses. We normally do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.

Use Of Cookies What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you are at our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll find them at most major Web sites.

By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our Customers'needs.

BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify preferences. For example, Customers can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't have to tell us over and over again about the kinds of homes you want to see. Secondly, we use cookies to track Customer trends and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers'needs better and improve areas of BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its affiliates service that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a cookie, visitors to BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its affiliates always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Information from cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its 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; you also may have difficulty completing marketing transactions.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. BEGLIN REAL ESTATE 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 BEGLIN REAL ESTATE share my Information? As a general rule, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE 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 the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your Information may be disclosed.

Business Partners & Sponsors BEGLIN REAL ESTATE may disclose some or all your 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 BEGLIN REAL ESTATE permission to transfer your information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your Email address will be shared. If more Information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.

Third Party Data and Data in the Aggregate From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you opt to receive information from these third parties, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE will (with your permission) share your name and email address with such third parties. Under confidentiality agreements, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE may match Customer Information with third party data. Also, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE discloses aggregated Customer statistics (for example, 50% of our Customers are male) in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

Other BEGLIN REAL ESTATE 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 BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's Terms and Conditions of Use or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's rights or property, other BEGLIN REAL ESTATE Customers, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. BEGLIN REAL ESTATE 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 Information changes (such as your zip code or Email address), we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. Additionally, to keep you in control of the communications directed to you, we offer Customers the opportunity to "opt out" of having information shared with parties outside of BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its affiliated companies. If a Customer wishes to update Information or objects to any usage provided herein for any reason, he/she may Email the requested change to: BEGLIN@aol.com.

Depending upon the Information at issue, the Customer may have to restrict all usage, rather than specifying only certain instances where the Information should be restricted. What happens when you link to a third party site? You should be aware that when you are on BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's and/or its affiliates'sites you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's and/or its affiliates'pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement on a BEGLIN REAL ESTATE search result, the "click" typically takes you off the BEGLIN REAL ESTATE site. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's and/or its affiliates' logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to Customers, collect data or solicit Information.

BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and its affiliates do not control such sites, and therefore, are not responsible for their contents. BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's and/or its affiliates'inclusion of hyperlinks to these sites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any association with their operators. BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's privacy policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond the control of BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and its affiliates.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out Information online (for example, via message boards or chat lines), that Information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and its affiliates strive to protect their Customers Information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any Information you disclose online and you disclose such Information at your own risk.

Is my Information secure from others using the BEGLIN REAL ESTATE site? The importance of security for all Information associated with our customers is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your Information from your PC 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, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE can't ensure or warrant the security of any Information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, BEGLIN REAL ESTATE uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of you Information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS By using this site, you signify your agreement with and acceptance of BEGLIN REAL ESTATE's Privacy Policy. If you do not accept this policy, please do not use this site in any way. Your continued use of BEGLIN REAL ESTATE and/or its affiliates'sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes, regardless of whether BEGLIN REAL ESTATE provides you with additional notice of such changes
