We at Vintage Sotheby's International Realty recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about our customers and prospective customers (referred to as "Customers," "you" or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At Vintage Sotheby's International Realty, it is our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect your Information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.

To that end, Vintage Sotheby's International Realty gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites; and data Vintage Sotheby's International Realty gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our advertisers understand our audience. Because Vintage Sotheby's International Realty derives its revenue mainly from advertising and e-commerce, providing such aggregated data is essential to keeping our service free to Customers. However, be assured that Vintage Sotheby's International Realty will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.

How does Vintage Sotheby's International Realty collect Information?

Other: Vintage Sotheby's International Realty may also disclose account Information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this Information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Vintage Sotheby's International Realty terms of use or terms of service, or may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of Vintage Sotheby's International Realty's rights or property, other Vintage Sotheby's International Realty Customers, or anyone else.

What happens when you link to a third party site?

You should be aware that when you are on Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and/or its affiliates' sites you could hyperlink or be directed to other sites that are beyond our control and/or outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a fredsands.net search result, the "click" may transfer you off the fredsands.net site. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and/or its affiliates' logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.

Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and its affiliates do not control such sites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such sites. Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and/or its affiliates' inclusion of hyperlinks to these sites do not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any association with their operators. Vintage Sotheby's International Realty policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and its affiliates' control.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or chat) that information can be collected and used by people you do not know. While Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and its affiliates strive to protect their Customers' information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.

Is my Information secure from others using the Vintage Sotheby's International Realty site?

The importance of security of all information associated with our Customers is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, Vintage Sotheby's International Realty and its affiliates cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, Vintage Sotheby's International Realty uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
