We at Harrington ERA Realty (referred to as "we," "us," or "our") recognize the
importance of protecting the privacy of certain 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 Harrington ERA Realty 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, Harrington ERA Realty gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers
provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites; and data Harrington ERA Realty gathers
through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such
information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our
service providers understand our Customers. We do not share Information with advertisers.
Be assured that Harrington ERA Realty
will not disclose personal Information 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 Harrington ERA Realty collect Information?
Optional registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when
you register at a site or request information or a service. Usually, the Harrington ERA Realty sites and
Harrington ERA Realty’s service partners use your information to operate the sites and to deliver services
you request.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses:
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers,
known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.
Harrington ERA Realty collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, and to audit the
use of our site. When Customers request pages from Harrington ERA Realty and/or its affiliates' sites,
our servers log the Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the
Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer
when we feel it is necessary to protect our service, site, customers 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.
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 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'll find that most major Web sites use them.
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.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at
any time. 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 Harrington ERA Realty's 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.
Harrington ERA Realty and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them
to specify a Customer's preferences. For example, Customers can specify keywords across
several categories or markets so you don't have to tell us repeatedly about certain features
in the home you are seeking. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' Web site usage trends
and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers' needs better and improve areas of
Colonial Real Estate’s services that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend
on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling the cookies via your browser preferences.
