Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting SmartPointe.net or any Web site owned, operated, licensed or controlled by SmartPointe Real Estate®. Your privacy is very important to us. Our policy is to respect and protect the privacy of visitors to our web sites. In this document, we explain how we use information you supply us. If we update our privacy policy, all revisions will be posted on this page. We reserve the right to change the privacy policy.

Two types of information may be collected when you visit SmartPointe.net, information which you knowingly provide us (called personally identifiable information), and information which is obtained from your visit but is not directly associated with you (called non-personally identifiable information). When you sign up to use one or more of our services, enter a promotion or contest, ask a question or indicate interest in a career with us, we may specifically ask for information about you, including, but not limited to name, age, address, phone number, e-mail address, financial and/or demographic information. This information is used to fulfill the services you requested or to better our Web site offerings to you and users like you. In the normal course of using SmartPointe.net we may collect information about your habits and usage of our sites. This non-personally identifiable information is collected without any direct association with you specifically.
Agents, employees and contractors of SmartPointe Real Estate® and its affiliates who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and the high standards of this company. Information about you specifically will not be used for any purpose other than to carry out the services you requested from SmartPointe Real Estate® and its affiliates. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone at any time without your prior permission. We will not use any personal or financial information beyond what is necessary to assist us in delivering to you the services you have requested. We will send personally identifiable information about you to other organizations or people when:

  •   We have your consent to share the information (you will have an opportunity to opt-out of receiving unsolicited information from companies not owned by SmartPointe Real Estate® who want to market products or services to you);
  •   We need to share your information in order to provide the product or service you have requested; or
  •   We are required to share information if requested by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena.
  •   We routinely use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our sites and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information to analyze site usage, as well as to offer products, programs, or services to you or other users like you.
SmartPointe Real Estate® and its affiliates may periodically send promotional e-mail. You will not receive such e-mail messages unless at the time you provided us with your e-mail address you indicated that you wished to receive such promotional e-mails. If you are asked for your e-mail address and not given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving additional information, then the e-mail address is to be used for the specific service you requested only and will be deleted when you request the service be discontinued. You may request discontinuation of e-mail messages by sending such request by e-mail to webmaster@smartpointe.net.
SmartPointe.net contains links to various other sites. While we encourage other site developers to adopt privacy policies that build users’ trust and confidence in the Internet, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of web sites linked to our sites or to which we link. Visitors should consult the other sites’ privacy policies, as we have no control over the information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive by our servers to identify your computer. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them there and are unable to execute any code or virus. We may use cookies to recognize you when you visit our sites, to personalize your experience and generally to serve you better. For example, if you enter your name, address, telephone number, email address, ZIP code or other personally identifiable information on one of our forms, such information may be, but is not necessarily always, stored in a cookie so you do not have to enter this information again.
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer whenever you’re using the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. SmartPointe Real Estate® and its affiliates collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our sponsors, and to audit the use of our site. When visitors request pages from SmartPointe.net, our servers log the visitor’s IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor’s session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us.
We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect via the Internet. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information without your prior knowledge and permission.
