Privacy Policy
MoveSmart.org ("MoveSmart") is committed to ensuring the
privacy of those who use the MoveSmart.org website (“Users”), located
at http://www.MoveSmart.org
(the “MoveSmart Site”). This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes what
information is collected from Users and how that information is used
and disclosed. By using the MoveSmart Site, you consent to the terms of
this Policy. Although this Policy is not a contract and does not create
any legal rights, it does serve as an expression of MoveSmart’s
commitment to protecting private personal information.
Authorized Users
The
MoveSmart Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. If you
are under 13 years old please do not provide personally identifiable
information of any kind whatsoever on the MoveSmart Site.
Information We Collect
User Provided Information. You may provide to MoveSmart what is
generally called “personally identifiable” information if you register.
In addition, MoveSmart may give you the option to provide us with
certain demographic information about yourself. Aggregate Data.
Aggregate data is data we collect about a group or category of
features, services or individuals, from which individual identities
have been removed. For example, information about how you use a feature
may be collected and combined with information about how others use the
same feature, without any personal information included in the
resulting data. MoveSmart uses aggregate data to help identify trends
and understand member needs so we can provide better features and
services. MoveSmart may also share automatically collected and other
aggregate non-personally-identifiable information with interested third
parties to assist them in understanding how people make housing
choices, the usage patterns for certain content, services,
advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the MoveSmart Site.
General User Data. General User Data, such as your computer's
Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system and browser type, and
the date and time of your visit, may be automatically collected through
the use of "cookies" (small files that are stored on your computer by a
website to give you a unique identification). Cookies also keep track
of services you have used, record registration information regarding
your login name and password, ensure you do not repeatedly see
advertisements, record your preferences and keep you logged into the
MoveSmart Site. We treat general user data as personal information if
we combine it with or link it to any of the personally identifying
information mentioned above and, in those cases, will only use it as
aggregate data.
Third Party Collected Data. We may use, and allow third parties to
use, web beacons on the MoveSmart Site to monitor the effectiveness of
advertising or for other legitimate purposes. Web beacons are small,
graphic images on web pages, web-based documents, or in email messages
that allow us or third parties to monitor who is visiting the MoveSmart
Site or if the email has been read. Web beacons collect the IP address
of the computer that the web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the
web beacon comes from and the time it was viewed. Web beacons may be
linked to your personal information. We may also use third-party ad
servers or network advertisers, to deliver ads to you. These
third-party ad servers may use cookies, web beacons or other technology
to collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to
our Site in order to present advertisements that may be of interest to
you.
Disclosure of Information
We do not sell, rent or
share personally identifiable information with third parties without
your prior consent except in the limited circumstances described in
this Policy. We share personally identifiable information with
third-party vendors who assist us in performing internal functions
necessary to operate our business. These functions may include:
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and processing payment
transactions. In all cases we limit the information shared with our
third-party vendors to that which is necessary to carry out those
functions. We require that these parties agree to process such
information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we use reasonable
efforts to limit their use of such information, and we require these
parties to use any other appropriate confidentiality and security
measures. We are not responsible for any information you provide to
third party vendors directly, and we encourage you to become familiar
with their practices before disclosing information directly to them.
We
share automatically collected and other aggregate
non-personally-identifiable information with interested third parties
to assist them in understanding how people make housing choices, the
usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements,
promotions, and/or functionality on the MoveSmart Site.
We do
not share personally identifiable information with other third-party
organizations for their marketing, advertising or promotional use
without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature
for which you will have the ability to opt-in.
Except as
stated in this Policy, we do not share personally identifiable
information about Users with third parties unless we reasonably believe
that doing so is legally required or is in MoveSmart’s interest to
protect its property or other legal rights or the rights or property of
others.
In addition, information about our Users, including
personally identifiable information, may be disclosed as part of any
merger, acquisition, debt financing or sale of MoveSmart assets, as
well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in
which personally identifiable information could be transferred to third
parties as one of our business assets.
Third Parties/ External Websites
Our
Site may contain links to external websites, and areas where you can
provide information to third-parties. These are provided for your
convenience only, and we do not have control over the content or
privacy and security practices and policies of such third parties or
third party sites. Any personal information you provide in such areas,
and on such linked pages is provided directly to that third party and
is subject to that third party's privacy policy. Please learn about the
privacy and security practices and policies of external websites and
third-parties before providing them with personal information.

is accessible online only through the use of a password. To protect the
confidentiality of your personal information, we recommend that you
keep your password confidential.
Security
We use
reasonable security measures in an effort to prevent loss, misuse and
alteration of information under our control. However, we cannot
guarantee protection of all information in all cases, for example we
cannot guarantee protection against interception, misappropriation,
misuse, or alteration, or that your information will not be disclosed
or accessed by accidental circumstances or by the unauthorized acts of
others. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Additionally, we have absolutely no control over the security of other
sites you might visit, interact with or do business with.
If
we learn of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify
you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps.
MoveSmart may post a notice on the MoveSmart Site if a security breach
occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have
provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you
may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in
writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to
withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should
notify us.

accessing the MoveSmart Site from the European Union, Asia, or any
other region with laws or regulations governing personal data
collection, use, and disclosure, that differ from United States laws,

other regions, and by providing your personal data you permit:
- The use of your personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with the Privacy Policy

Policy Changes

will modify this Policy if our privacy practices materially change. For
changes to this Policy that may be materially less restrictive on our
use or disclosure of personal information that you have provided to us,
we will attempt to obtain your consent before applying the revised
Policy to your personally identifiable information obtained after the
revision. Otherwise, we will notify you of such changes by posting the
new policy on our Site and indicating the date it was last updated at
the bottom of the Policy. We encourage you to review the Policy each
