Our commitment to privacy

We understand and value the privacy of our consumers. We collect information from our Web Site visitors in order to deliver an effective and efficient on-line experience and to provide our services and those of our affiliates.  We will also use the information collected to notify you of updates and modifications to our Web Site or services.  

This Privacy Policy details the type of information we collect, the methods which we employ to collect the information, why we collect your information and how and when we share information.  Also included in this policy is the process for your management of your personal information.

What kind of information do we collect

We gather information in a variety of ways including on-line forms requesting additional information about a property, product or service.  Information collected may include name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone numbers and any other information or data that you input or provide to the Web Site.

We also gather information from your access and use of the Web Site.  This includes a web site’s Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, your language, dates and times of access, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address.  

In addition, we may also collect, or our third party ad servers and/or content servers may collect, certain information.  This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs.  We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Web Site and to gather demographic information. Our third party ad servers will also provide us with reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our Web Site.

How do we use your information

In some instances, we may share certain personal information regarding our customers.  On occasion, we may disclose some or all of your personal information to business partners and sponsors.  Business partners may include but are not limited to our Affiliates, Watson Mortgage, home warranty partners, and other Watson Realty Corp. companies that provide services to home owners.

We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, business partners and other third parties. We and our service partners use your information to operate our Web Site and to deliver their services.  We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies.  However, the use of your information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners, and is not subject to our control.

Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide information to the appropriate governmental authorities.  We will disclose information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.  We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities.  We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

We may also provide information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to third party advertisers.

Use of IP address

Your IP address is a unique number used to identify your specific computer on a public network. We collect IP addresses for the purpose of system administration, to analyze consumer behavior and trends and to audit the use and functionality of our Web Site.  We may utilize an IP address to identify a Web Site visitor when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Web Site terms or to protect our service, site, consumers or others.

Use of cookies

When you use our Web Site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our Web Site.  A “cookie” is a small data text file, which a web site stores on your computer’s hard drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us.  Our cookies may store information that includes, without limitation, randomly assigned user identification numbers, the country where you are located, and your first name to welcome you back to our Web Site. The cookies make your use of the Web Site easier, make the Web Site run more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure Web Site.  You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our Web Site may not work properly in that case.

We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner advertisements on our Web Site. As part of their service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer.  We and our third party ad server will collect and use information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad.  Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our Web Site in the same manner as above.

Link to web sites and services

Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.  Other sites accessible through our Web Site have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices.  Please consult each site’s privacy policy.  We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.  Additionally, other companies which place advertising on our Web Site may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies.  We cannot control this collection of information.  You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.
