Privacy Policy
 
YOUR PRIVACY
Dildy and Associates, Inc. (DILDY) has adopted information management guidelines that define our customer and advertiser relationships. These guidelines disclose the privacy policies applied to information obtained and exchanged via our website, www.dildyinc.com.

Any questions about this privacy statement, requests to correct or clarify your personally identifying information, or requests to modify your "opt-out" preferences can be directed to:

Dildy and Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 136544 Fort Worth, TX 76136 (817) 626-3000 E-mail: optout@dildyinc.com

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT
From time to time, DILDY may use customer information for new purposes not previously disclosed in this privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes here to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back to our Web site periodically.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES DILDY GATHER AND/OR TRACK ABOUT YOU?
When you register to receive DILDY products, whether those products are free (such as the dildyinc.com Web site) or paid (such as a subscription to a DILDY Newsletter), DILDY may require that you supply personal information, including, but not limited to, your full name, e-mail address, contact information, and a unique subscriber ID. DILDY may also require demographic information (e.g., whether you are a property owner and in what type of real estate sector you work). Customers must also agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use applicable to the product for which they are registering. In some instances, we also collect credit card information to bill subscribers for premium products.

ANONYMOUS INFORMATION
DILDY may also gather anonymous information, which may be used by DILDY or shared with third parties. This information does not personally identify you but may be helpful for improving the services we offer. Generally this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "cookies," "IP addresses," or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

COOKIES
"Cookies" give users a special, random ID that are small text files, which are stored on the hard drive of a user's computer. DILDY employs cookies to recognize you and your access privileges for certain locations on the Web site well as to track site usage. Subscribers who do not accept cookies from the Web site cannot access many areas of the Web site.  DILDY does not have access to these cookies or any information that they may contain.

IP ADDRESSES
DILDY also logs IP addresses for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. (Your IP address indicates the location of your computer on the Internet.) DILDY does not log IP addresses to track your session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
If you use a credit card to pay for an DILDY product, we may retain your credit card information in order to renew your account in the event you elect to renew your subscription. When we do retain credit card information, we keep it secure and separate from other demographic information you may have given us. We do not share credit card information internally within divisions of DILDY.

WITH WHOM DOES DILDY SHARE THE INFORMATION IT GATHERS AND/OR TRACKS?
DILDY takes the privacy of its customers seriously. You have the ability to control how we use your personally identifying information by telling us if you wish to opt-out of certain uses of your information, as described in greater detail in the "Opting Out" provision below.

DILDY shares the information it gathers in a compiled format with advertisers and other partners. The compiled format does not include personally identifying information. DILDY may, on occasion, choose to share personally identifying information collected about subscribers with select third parties whose products or services we feel may be of interest to you. Many of our subscribers find these e-mail promotions valuable, whether they are shopping for merchandise, taking advantage of a special offer, or purchasing unique services. If you prefer not to have your personally-identifying information shared with select third parties, please see the "Opting Out" provision below. Personal information about you as an individual subscriber or registrant may be shared, regardless of your "opt-out" status, in the following instances:

DILDY may release information if it is required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or comply with legal process served on DILDY; and (2) protect and defend the legitimate business interests, rights or property of DILDY, its users, advertisers, customers, sponsors, advertisers or affiliates.

VENDORS
DILDY may on occasion use third-party vendors to assist it in performing its business functions, such as mailing statements to subscribers, editing user lists, processing data and payments, and providing customer service. Personal information may be shared with these businesses or individuals to allow them to perform their assigned functions, but is limited to that information needed to perform the assigned function, and may not be used for any other purpose.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
Should DILDY undergo a sales, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation, DILDY 's accumulated customer information will be treated as an asset and, like other business assets, subject to transfer to or acquisition by a third party.

This means that readers will see advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the user's experience and the effectiveness of the ads.
