Privacy Statement
Below you will find information concerning visits to and the use of Atlantic Seaboard Realty’s websites. Atlantic Seaboard Realty’s , its subsidiaries and affiliates (“ASREALTY”), are sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet and recognises the importance of safe guarding all information we receive from you. This Privacy Statement applies to data provided by you and collected by ASREALTY through its websites as well as both online and offline services. We will use the provided information in the course of our dealings with you to process requests and orders and to provide a more personalised internet and online buying or ordering experience. ASREALTY will ensure that all personal information is treated in accordance with the applicable data privacy legislations.
For your information, we have provided this statement explaining our online information practices.
Collection of your personal information
In general, you are able to visit ASREALTY websites without revealing who you are or any information about yourself. However, our web servers will collect information (standard information that your browser sends to every website visited) for statistical purposes, such as the number of visits, the pages viewed, which website you came from before clicking into the Interchange website, the key words used to find our site, your IP-address, the browser type and language, access time, etc. ASREALTY uses this information for improving its sites and services.
When visiting certain ASREALTY sites (such as browsing through our listings and requesting viewings of a property, or to apply to purchase or rent a property) we ask you to consent to providing personal information, such as your email address, name, telephone number, etc. This information is required in order for us to process and fulfil your request and otherwise provide you with the information and services you may request from us (eg. pricing, location, further details of our listings, pre-approval from a bank for purchasing property, proof of income for applying to rent a property). This information will therefore be kept by us as long as is necessary for us to use your information as described above or to comply with our legal obligations (including fraud prevention, anti-money laundering and sanction screening).
For security reasons we also keep the IP-address used when the order is registered. Card holder name information is stored by ASREALTY in order to ensure effective handling of any problems regarding charging, cancellations and/or credits. At no time will other credit card information, such as the Primary Account Number, Service Code and Expiration date be stored by ASREALTY. Personal information collected on ASREALTY sites and services may, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, be stored and processed in any country in which ASREALTY or its subsidiaries maintain facilities.
Security of your personal information
ASREALTY has a number of security measures in place to protect your personal information. However, when transmitting personal information over the internet, please bear in mind that no transmission over the internet can ever be guaranteed secure. Therefore, please note that ASREALTY cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you transfer over the internet to us.
Cookies
We may also use technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on our sites and services. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if preferred.
