Privacy Policy
Real Estate Domains, LLC ("RED") recognizes that visitors and users this website (the "Website") value their privacy. This Privacy Policy details important information regarding the use and disclosure of information about our users collected on the Website. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Use applicable to the Website. By using this Website, you consent to all terms contained in this Privacy Policy.
1. The Information RED Collects
User Provided Information: You may provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, payment information, contact information and other information required to create and manage your account) to RED when licensing a .realtor™ domain name or choosing to participate in various activities on the Website.
Cookies Information: When you visit the Website, we may send one or more cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. RED may also use session cookies. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Website may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. Please note that this information applies to the use of cookies by RED and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technology by any third parties.
Log File Information: When you use the Website, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser language, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
2. The Way RED Uses Information
If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the Website, then we may use your personally identifiable information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Website, including, when applicable, sending you information.
We will not share, sell, or trade your email addresses, except potentially with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), entities related to NAR (such as the Canadian Real Estate Association ["CREA"]), and ICANN-accredited domain registrars. We (and these entities) may use your email address to directly send you information and may provide you with online informational or marketing messages that have been approved by us together with other communications to which you have subscribed.
If you license a domain name from RED, certain elements of your personally identifying information (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) will be accessible to the public via ICANN-required "WHOIS" searches; for example, such information may be used to populate the administrative, technical and/or billing contact WHOIS fields. Third parties have been known to access WHOIS information for the purpose of gathering contact information for disseminating marketing and advertising materials. RED is not liable for any communications received as a result of such access of the WHOIS information for any .realtor™ domain name.
We may use cookies and log file information to: (a) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; and (b) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.
3. When RED Discloses Information
We may release information we collect, including personally identifiable information, if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.
We also reserve the right to disclose information we collect, including personally identifiable information, that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions of Use, Acceptable Use Policy and Takedown Procedures; take precautions against liability; investigate and defend RED against any third party claims or allegations; assist government enforcement agencies (including ICANN); protect the security or integrity of our Website; and protect the rights, property, or personal safety of RED, our users or others.
We may also disclose the information we collect, including personally identifiable information, with any sponsors of promotions or contests available through this Website. If information about you will be shared with a sponsor, you will be notified prior to your participation in the promotion or contest so you can decide not to participate in the promotion or contest.
4. Special Note to International Users
The Website is hosted in the United States and is intended for and directed to users in the United States. If you are accessing the Website from any country outside the U.S., please be advised that through your continued use of the Website, which is governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms and Conditions of Use, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.
5. Service Providers
