Privacy Policy.
From time to time, we may add or change functions, features or products
to our "Web Sites" or add or change services. This, and our commitment
to protecting the privacy of your personal information, may result in periodic
changes to this Privacy Policy. As a result, please remember to refer back

What Data Do We Collect and How Do We Use It?
Realty Information Systems collects and processes information about you in order to:
- identify you each time you visit a Web Site or wish to have a Service
provided;
- process orders or applications submitted by you;
- improve our Services
and Web Sites;
- customize your experience, for example, provide advertisements
that we think are relevant to you and which support any specific requests
for information you may make through keyword searches;
- carry out research
on the demographics, interests and behavior of all of our customers;
- send you information we think you may find useful, including information
about new products and/or services.
You may be asked, either when you register with us, or at other times, for
information about yourself, such as your name, e-mail address, postal address
and telephone number. You may also be asked to share with us your interests,
hobbies and preferences. In addition, when you order certain goods or services
from our Web Sites, we will need to know your credit card number and expiration
date.
You are under no obligation to provide this information, but if you do not,
we may not be able to process your order, provide you with certain services
or personalize your experience and tailor our Services for you.
Orders
We request information from you when you place an order with us from our
website. To buy from us, you must provide contact information (e.g. name
and shipping address) and financial information (e.g. credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to
fulfill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use
this information to notify you.
Log Files/IP Addresses
When you visit our Web Sites, we automatically log your IP address (the unique
address which identifies your computer on the internet) which is automatically
recognized by our web server. We use IP addresses to help us administer our
Web Sites and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use.
We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.
Non Personal Information
We may automatically collect non-personal information about you such as the
type of internet browsers you use or the site from which you linked to
our Web Sites. You cannot be identified from this information and it is
only used to assist us in providing an effective service on our Web Sites.
We may from time to time supply the owners or operators of third party
sites from which it is possible to link to our Web Sites with information
relating to the number of users linking to our Web Sites from their sites.
You cannot be identified from this information.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web Site transfers to your hard
drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Most web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser
to prevent that. However, you may not be able to take full advantage of
a Web Site if you do so. Cookies are specific to the server that created
them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be
used to track your movements around the web. Although they do identify
a user's computer, cookies do not personally identify customers or passwords.
Credit card information is not stored in cookies.
We may use cookies for the following reasons:
- To identify who you are and to access your account information;
- To estimate
our audience size and patterns;
- To ensure that you are not asked
to register twice;
- To control how often visitors see similar ads;
- To track preferences
and to improve and update our Web Site;
- To track the progress and
number of entries in some of our promotions and contests.
With Whom Is the Information Shared?
Realty Information Systems will not share, sell or rent your personal information
to third parties. However, we may disclose your personal information to
third party suppliers who provide services on our behalf.
Realty Information Systems may disclose aggregate statistics about our sales and/or
Web Site traffic statistics in order to describe our services to prospective
partners, advertisers and other reputable third parties and for other lawful
purposes, but these statistics will not include personally identifying information.
Realty Information Systems may disclose personal information if required to do so by
law or if it believes that such action is necessary to protect and defend
the rights, property or personal safety of Realty Information Systems and its Web Sites,
visitors to the Web Sites and customers of our Services.
We will only sell or rent your personal information to a third party either
as part of a sale of the assets of a Realty Information Systems company or having ensured
that steps have been taken to ensure that your privacy rights continue to
be protected.

Security
Realty Information Systems places a great importance on the security of all information
associated with our customers. We have security measures in place to attempt
to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of customer data under
