1. What Information About Customers Do We Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve
your experience on our Website. Here are the types of information we gather.

password, email address, physical address, billing address, phone number, fax number,
employer name, other demographic information (e.g., gender, age range), and social media
information (e.g., username, profile picture). In some cases, we may also collect
information you provide about others, such as if you provide information about members
of your household. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might
not be able to take advantage of many of our features.
SMS messaging specifics: in addition to the above, when you opt-in to our
SMS messaging service, we collect your mobile phone number and any other information you
provide us during the opt-in process. This information is used to send text messages
regarding our products, services, and promotions.
By using our SMS service, you agree to receive text messages from us, which may be sent by
an automated system. You can opt-out of receiving text messages at any time by replying
STOP to our message.
Information We Collect Automatically: We automatically collect and store
certain types of information whenever you interact with our Website, emails, or
advertisements and other content such as searches completed, properties viewed,
properties saved, searches saved, emails opened, and login history. Like many websites,
we and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to
collect such information, which may include but is not limited to the type of
browser/device/hardware you use, access times, pages viewed, your IP address, and any
referring links through which you access our Website.
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you
from other sources and add it to information we collect about you.
2. How Are Cookies Used?
Cookies are unique identifiers that we transfer to your device to enable our systems to
recognize your device and to provide personalized advertisements on other websites and
storage of preferences between visits. For example, we use tracking features from
services such as Google AdSense, Google AdWords, and Bing Ads that set a cookie in your
browser when you visit our Website or click on one of our advertisements. We also use
certain features of Google Analytics to collect data about web traffic, such as
Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting,
DoubleClick Platform integrations, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest
Reporting.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually
prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, have the browser notify you when you
receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether through the browser’s Help feature.
Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as
Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its
manufacturer. For more information about disabling Flash cookies, see
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/security. Because cookies allow you to take
advantage of some of our Website’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them
turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you may not be
able to use our products and services that require you to sign in to an online account.
3. How Do We Respond to Do Not Track Signals ?
Many web browsers support Do Not Track technology, which allows you to automatically
transmit a Do Not Track signal or preference to websites you visit indicating that you
do not wish to be tracked. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser settings
or signals on our Website. For more information about “Do Not Track,” please visit

you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your
