PRIVACY POLICY
Real Estate Video Imaging Systems, Inc. (hereafter
referred to as REVIS) respects your privacy and is committed to
protect the personal information that you share with us.
Generally, you can browse through our website without giving us
any information about yourself. When we do need your personal
information to provide services that you request or when you
choose to provide us with your personal information, this policy
describes how we collect and use your personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that
may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited
to, a first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other
physical address, other contact information, title, birth date,
gender, occupation, industry, personal interests, other
information when needed to provide a service you requested.
When you browse our website, you do so
anonymously, unless you have previously indicated that you wish REVIS
to remember your login and password. We don't automatically
collect personal information, including your email address. We do
log your IP address (the Internet address of your computer) to
give us an idea of which part of our website you visit and how
long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to any
personal information unless you have logged in to our website.
Like many other commercial websites, the REVIS website may use a
standard technology called a "cookie" to collect
information about how you use the site.
REVIS collects personal information when you
register with REVIS for a REVIS account, when you use certain REVIS
products or services, when you register to attend a seminar or
participate in an online survey, when you ask to be included in an
email or other mailing list, or you submit an entry for a
sweepstakes or other promotions, or when you submit your personal
information to REVIS for any other reason. From time to time, REVIS
receives personal information from business partners and vendors. REVIS
only uses such information if it has been collected in accordance
with acceptable privacy practices consistent with this Policy and
applicable laws.
Access to certain REVIS web pages require a
login and a password. The use of those web pages, and the
information or programs downloadable from those sites, may be
governed by a written agreement between your employer and REVIS.
Unless you request deletion of your personal information as
specified below, your personal information may be retained by REVIS
to verify compliance with the agreement, log software licenses
granted, to track software downloaded from those pages, or track
usage of other applications available on those pages.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will
inform you at the point of collection the purpose for the
collection. REVIS will not transfer your personal information to
third parties without your consent, except under the limited
conditions described under the discussion entitled "Information
Sharing and Disclosure" below.
If you choose to provide us with your personal
information, we may only transfer that information, within REVIS
or to REVIS's third party service providers with your permission.
Upon receiving your permission, we may transfer your information
across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other
countries or jurisdictions around the world.
We will always give you the opportunity to
"opt out" of receiving direct marketing or market
research information. This means we assume you have given us your
consent to collect and use your information in accordance with
this Policy unless you take affirmative action to indicate that
you do not consent, for instance by clicking or checking the
appropriate option or box at the point of collection. In some
cases, when applicable, we will provide you with the opportunity
to "opt in." This means we will require your affirmative
action to indicate your consent before we use your information for
purposes other than the purpose for which it was submitted.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web
sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file
can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to
track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information
a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie
can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by
other sites. Some parts of REVIS's website use cookies to track
user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the
usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how
effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach
that information.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while
browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts
you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning
them off in your browser, although you may not be able to take
full advantage of REVIS's website if you do so. In particular, you
may be required to accept cookies in order to complete certain
actions on our website. You do not need to have cookies turned on,
however, to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except
access to certain of REVIS's web pages may require a login and
password.
How We Use Information Collected
REVIS uses information for several general
purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain products and
services, to personalize your experience on our website, to keep
you up to date on the latest product announcements, software
updates, special offers or other information we think you'd like
to hear about either from us or from our business partners, and to
better understand your needs and provide you with better services.
We may also use your information to send you, or to have our
business partners send you, direct marketing information or
contact you for market research.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Because REVIS is a global company, your personal
information may be shared with other REVIS offices or subsidiaries
around the world. All such entities are governed by this Privacy
Policy or are bound by the appropriate confidentiality and data
transfer agreements.
Your personal information is never shared
outside REVIS without your permission, except under conditions
explained below. Inside REVIS, data is stored in controlled
servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and
processed in the United States or any other country where REVIS,
its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
REVIS may send your personal information to
other companies or people under any of the following
circumstances: when we have your consent to share the information;
we need to share your information to provide the product or
service you have requested; we need to send the information to
companies who work on behalf of REVIS to provide a product or
service to you (we will only provide those companies the
information they need to deliver the service, and they are
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose); or
we want to keep you up to date on the latest product
announcements, software updates, special offers or other
information we think you'd like to hear about either from us or
from our business partners (unless you have opted out of these
types of communications). We will also disclose your personal
information if required to do so by law, to enforce our Terms
of Use, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal
safety, the public or our websites.
Data Security
Your REVIS account information is
password-protected for your privacy and security. REVIS safeguards
the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic,
and managerial procedures. In certain areas of our websites, REVIS
uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to enhance the security of
data transmissions. While we strive to protect your personal
information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you
transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to
protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change
your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers,
and make sure you use a secure browser.
Children and Privacy
Our websites do not target and are not intended
to attract children under the age of 16. REVIS does not knowingly
solicit personal information from children under the age of 16 or
send them requests for personal information.
Third Party Sites
REVIS's website may contain links to other
sites. REVIS does not share your personal information with those
websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We
encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those
companies.
Our website may contain links to websites
operated by other companies. Some of these third-party sites may
be co-branded with a REVIS logo, even though they are not operated
or maintained by REVIS. Although we choose our business partners
carefully, REVIS is not responsible for the privacy practices of
web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our site.
Once you have left our website, you should check the applicable
privacy policy of the third party website to determine how they
will handle any information they collect from you.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
REVIS will amend this policy from time to time.
If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal
information we will make that information available by posting a
notice on this site.
