Privacy Policy
Personal Information that We May Collect Online
In order to provide the best in customer service, we may ask you to share "personal information" — such as your name, e-mail address, city, and state. We want you to understand our policy regarding the collection and use of your personal information. Unless you otherwise consent, we will use your personal information only for the purpose for which it is submitted, such as to reply to your emails, handle your complaints, and process requests related to your membership participation. We will use such information to provide operational notices, in program record keeping and to conduct research on member usage patterns. Our research may lead to the publication of aggregate demographical data but will not result in the reporting or publication of any personal information provided to us.
The Personal Information Collected
You must register in order to use RealEstateCritic software. New user registration requires at minimum: a username, password, and email address.
Membership offers you the ability to save your property analysis information on our Site. Becoming a member is free and easy to do. When you register to become a member, you will be asked to share with us certain basic personal information such as your name, e-mail address, and password. After becoming a member, you can visit or update the personal information in your personal profile at any time. If you register through a portal within one of our Client Sites, your personal information will be shared with that Client Site at our discretion. A Client Site is a web site which pays to have RealEstateCritic software on its site. For example, if you register to use RealEstateCritic through BiggerPockets.com, your personal information may be shared with BiggerPockets
User login statistics are gathered. We maintain a database of your usage which includes the date and time you registered, the last data and time you logged in, as well as the number of times you logged in. This information may also be shared with our Client Sites at our discretion.
From time to time, in an effort to improve our service, we may ask third parties to conduct marketing-research analyses on our behalf and, as such, the information we provide to them is restricted to marketing-research analyses only. Any personal information we provide to such third parties is protected under confidentiality agreements.
We may disclose your personal information if you violate any governmental, regulatory or other enforcement agency law, rule, or regulation. Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our contractual obligations, we may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. Such situations may include: to perform, maintain or enforce contracts with our customers; to protect our rights or properties and those of our business affiliates, customers, employees or others; or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing, or who may be threatening to cause, interference with or damage to our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise; or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.
In the event that our Company or this Site or certain of our assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
Mailing List Participation
When we send emails to members, we will provide the option to our member to subscribe or unsubscribe to our e-mails within the content of the email. At any time you can add or remove your name from a RealEstateCritic.com mailing list by contacting us at

What We Won't Do With Personal Information
We will not sell or rent your personal information to any third parties (except Client Sites). A Client Site is a web site which has a special relationship with RealEstateCritic.com usually because a Client Site pays to have our software on its site. When you register to user RealEstateCritic software via a Client Site, your personal information may be shared with that Client Site at our discretion.
Security
Security of our members' personal information is important to us. As a member, your personal information is password-protected. If you ever forget your password, click on the "forgot your password?" link and your password will be emailed to you. Remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished visiting our Site in order to ensure that others cannot access your personal information. To protect personal information transmitted to us, we use a security system that includes restricted access to stored profile information, and security restrictions to our databases and systems. We permit authorized personnel only to access personal information. Since we do not control transmissions over the Internet, via commercial Internet service providers, and/or the security of your personal computer, we cannot guarantee 100 percent secure transmission via the Internet. Use of the Internet is at your own risk. Also, it is important that you take steps to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your computer and your password.
What Is Not Covered By This Privacy Policy
Except as covered above, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices or policies of any companies or entities that we do not own or control, including Client Sites and links to sites that are not maintained by us, or to people that we do not employ or manage. Because these companies or entities may have privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy (or no privacy policy at all), please be sure to review their respective privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.
Problems or Complaints with Our Privacy Policy
If you have a complaint about our compliance with this privacy policy, you may contact us at

Privacy Policy Updates
We may, in our sole discretion, revise this Privacy Policy at any time; all such revisions shall be effective when posted. If we change the way your personal information will be used, we will post an announcement on our homepage. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy in order to keep apprised of our current privacy practices.
