This site is owned and operated by Savvy Landlord Inc. Xour privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. We want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. We hate SPAM as much as you. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. Information We Collect Savvy Landlord gathers two types of information about users: - Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to register for site membership, to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our forums, to post information in our vendor directories, to post job listings, to email a friend, and from participation in reviews, polls and surveys.
- Information we gather through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our website.
Savvy Landlord gathers user information in the following processes: - Electronic newsletters. We offer electronic newsletters to our users. Savvy Landlord gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page.
- Forums. Users of the website's Forums must register separately for this membership service in order to post and read messages. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.
- "E-mail this to a friend". Our users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.
- Polling. We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. We may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
- Surveys. We may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
- Usage Tracking. We track user traffic patterns throughout all of our website pages. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We sometimes track and catalog the search terms that users enter in our Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.
Cookies We may place a small file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. A cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes, and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website. You need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys. Links to Other Websites Our website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question. Use of Information Savvy Landlord uses any information voluntarily given by our users for internal record keeping, and to improve our products and services based on the interests and needs of our users. We may use the information to customize the website according to your interests. From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, or mail. We periodically send out newsletters to subscribers, and occasionally send out special offers and other information when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in the content. Savvy Landlord never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help us better understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Savvy Landlord divulge any tracking information about an individual user to a third party. Savvy Landlord creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not share personal information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public. Security Savvy Landlord operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. Only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers. Opt-Out Policy We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include: - Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive and membership areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users.
Your Consent By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Savvy Landlord. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
