Privacy Policy

WElistings is founded on the principles of helping people develop and utilize tools for use in the real estate market. WElistings knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy very seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the WElistings website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy covers WElistings 's treatment of personal information that WElistings gathers when you are on the WElistings website and when you use WElistings services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that WElistings does not own or control, or to individuals that WElistings does not employ or manage.

Information Collected by WElistings

We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website, which is to enable people to develop and utilize tools for use in the real estate market. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect the following types of information from our WElistings users:

  1. Information You Provide to Us:
    We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.
    • Registration: In order for you to use WElistings services, such as creating a property website, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require select personal information (including your full name, city, state and e-mail address).
  2. Automatic Information:
    • We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. WElistings and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, WElistings cookie information, and the page you requested. WElistings uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.
    • WElistings may collect and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed.
    • Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While WElistings will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.

E-mail Communications

WElistings is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your Information" section below. WElistings may send out e-mails with WElistings-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions.

Cookies

  • Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. WElistings cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or e-mail address is.
  • The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We recommend that you leave the cookies activated because cookies allow you to use some of WElistings's coolest features.
  • Some of our business partners, like our advertisers, may use cookies on our website. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies.

Keeping Information Secure

  • Your WElistings account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
  • Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.

Ways to Control Display and Use of Your Information

  • As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information, but then you may be unable to use certain features on our website, such as posting new links.
  • By visiting your User Profile, you can correct, amend, add or delete personal information on our website. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
  • You may request deletion of your WElistings account by e-mailing us at support@welistings.com.
  • If you do not wish to receive e-mail from us or other WElistings users, please visit the Email Preferences section of your User Profile and/or follow the instructions contained in the unwanted e-mail message.
  • However, please note that you will continue to receive all system e-mails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us.
  • As explained earlier, the "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. Please note, however, that if your browser does not accept cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of some of our attractive features.

WElistings may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, at its sole discretion. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting an announcement on the WElistings website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances if any, it is disclosed.
