AboutYourNeighborhood.com is committed to your privacy and security, and to providing you the best possible user experience. We will never disclose your personally identifiable information to any third party without your consent, except in limited circumstances to our neighborhood sponsors or business partners, who have agreed to protect your privacy.

Here's how we collect and use information from you in our efforts to provide the highest quality user experience:

Cookies - Our sites use a technology called "cookies," small files stored by your browser to help keep track of your user profile. Our cookies do not collect personally identifiable information, nor do we share them with anyone. We use cookies to remember your personal profile for your convenience. We also use cookies to track the users areas of interest while visiting AboutYourNeighborhood.com.

Ads - We sometimes use outside companies to display advertising on our web sites. These ads may place cookies on your computer, which are referenced by our ad companies. We do not have access to this information.

Registration - Some of our sites include registration forms that require users to give us contact information (like your name), unique identifiers (such as your email address), and demographic information (like your Zip code). Within the state of Illinois, this type of registration is necessary to allow us to display certain real estate information.

A given neighborhood sponsor (licensed Real Estate professional) may use customer contact information from registration forms to send you additional information on certain properties you may have viewed or provide you with information you have requested. We use your email as a unique identifier in our record system, to verify communications from you, and to send you newsletters and promotion offerings that you ask to receive.

Email Services - If you take advantage of any email notification features on our sites, you will receive email from the applicable neighborhood sponsor from whom you emailed a request for information. AboutYourNeighborhood.com does not monitor these transmissions in any way. Your email request goes directly to the neighborhood sponsor the user chooses and all communication is confidential between the user and the sponsor.

Personal Tools - Certain products on our sites, like the Personal Planner, allow you to store your personal information for future use. We do not share this information with third parties.

Your Security - AboutYourNeighborhood.com does not store financial information or social security information on our site.

The personal data we do store on our system is protected by a firewall and password. Our network firewall is a combination of hardware and software designed to keep unauthorized users from accessing our network.

Third Party Service Providers - AboutYourNeighborhood.com is a portal site. We have selected a variety of service and information sites that quickly provide the desired information. These sites are provided by third parties that have their own privacy policies that may be different than ours. You should review the privacy policy of third parties before providing your personal information to them.

Outside Links - While on the AboutYourNeighborhood.com web site, you may be led to other web sites. Be aware that other sites may collect data and personal information and operate according to their own privacy practices. Please remember that, once outside our site, any information you submit is outside of our control.

Disclosure - To provide you the best service, we team with neighborhood sponsors and may team with other business partners. When you indicate that you want to receive information or services, or contact a person or organization, we share the data needed for you to receive what you have indicated. We may need to hire consultants that could require access to our member database to perform their services for us. These business partners agree not to use any member information that they may receive access to. AboutYourNeighborhood.com may contract with outside companies to administer our mailing lists or provide retail services. Your personal information may be shared with an outside company for the sole purpose of administering the products, services and programs you have selected.

Choice/Opt-out - The AboutYourNeighborhood.com web site provides you the opportunity to opt out of receiving communications from our partners and us. To remove your personal information from one of our web sites, email a request to the site at the address listed in "Contacting Us." To remove your name from an email service, simply reply to the email and type "Unsubscribe" in the subject line.

This privacy policy does not extend to any information that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond the control on AboutYourNeighborhood.com and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.

We reserve the right at our discretion to make changes to this policy at any time.
