Information We Gather

Personal Information

Our site provides both homeowners and prospective homeowners with services related to home selling and buying such as current market value estimates and mortgage financing fees, rates and options, insurance estimates, etc. To provide these services, we gather information from you and forward it to local professionals (such as real estate agents and mortgage providers) who use the information to prepare estimates for their respective services.

We gather personal information, including your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and information about your home and moving plans. Regardless of whether you are a homeowner or a prospective home buyer, information that identifies you personally is gathered from our site only if you supply it voluntarily by entering it on our site.

E-mail Addresses

We collect e-mail addresses as part of providing our services. In addition to customer service purposes, we will occasionally send you e-mails to you regarding home ownership, home buying and selling. Upon submitting your personal information on our site, you agree to receive emails from us and our third party affiliates, such as real estate agents, mortgage providers, insurance agents, etc. You may opt out of receiving future emails at any time, which could affect our ability to provide you with a current market valuation of your home. Please see our opt-out section below. Except as is described in this policy, we will not disclose your email address to any third party without your consent.

Aggregate Information

We collect aggregate information about you and your use of our services. Such aggregate information includes, without limitation, site traffic, page views, and impressions. This aggregate information may be correlated to you for our internal use only. However, we may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, sell, or otherwise disclose or use any and all aggregate information, provided that, such information does not personally identify you.

Cookies

We currently use cookies to identify users and customize their experience on our site based on information they give us. Cookies are small pieces of information or files that are stored on a user's computer by the Web server through a user's browser for record keeping purposes. A cookie itself is not designed or intended to read any information from your computer (other than the contents of the cookie); rather, it is an identifier used by the Web site that originally placed it your hard drive. The actual contents of the cookie information can be retrieved by the same site's Web server in order to personalize, monitor, or regulate the use of the site.

Use and Disclosure of Data

Internal Use of Personal Information

In general, we use personal information internally to serve our users and to enhance and extend our relationship with you, our user.  More specifically, we use personal information to complete transactions you have requested, to anticipate and resolve problems with our site, to respond to customer support inquiries, and to send you periodic e-mails.  Review the following section to understand how and when we disclose personal information to third parties.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Except as disclosed in this policy, we do not disclose, sell, rent, loan, trade or lease any personal identifying information collected at our site to any other party.  We disclose personal information when we have your consent to do so, as necessary to complete a transaction you have requested, for marketing purposes (unless you have opted out of receiving such communications), when required by law, or when permitted to protect our rights or property.  The following section describes these disclosure circumstances more fully.

Your Consent:  We will disclose personal information with your consent, which we may obtain in writing, verbally, through online means or as part of a separate agreement.  If new services are offered in the future that require disclosure of personal information to third parties or other uses of personal information not covered in this Policy, we will update this Policy to reflect the changes.

Internal Analysis:  We may use information about you for our own internal statistical, design or operational purposes, such as to estimate our audience size, measure aggregate traffic patterns, and understand demographic, customer interest, purchasing and other trends among our users.  We may outsource these tasks to third parties, provided the use and disclosure of your personal information by these third parties is restricted to performance of these tasks.

Transactions and Market valuations.  We disclose personal information to third parties as necessary to complete a transaction you have requested or to perform a service on our behalf.  When a third party acts solely on our behalf, we will require it to follow our privacy practices.  As stated above, your personal information is forwarded to real estate agents or brokers, mortgage providers, insurance providers and other house-related service providers in order to provide you with the services you request. If the real estate agent, broker or other service provider is unable to fulfill your request in a reasonable time, we may forward your information to an alternate service provider to ensure that your request is fulfilled. In either case, the service provider may contact you via e-mail, telephone or other means at his or her discretion. We do not regulate how these third parties use your information and are not responsible for removing your information from any third party lists. Please contact the third party service providers directly to be removed from their lists.

Protection of NameThatValue.com and Others:  We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply our policies; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users' rights, property or safety; or to protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, our site; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay.

Business Transfers or changes:  In addition, information about our users, including personally identifiable information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which personally identifiable information could be transferred to third parties as one of the business assets of the company.
