PHILLIPS REAL ESTATE
PRIVACY POLICY
Because we value
your patronage, we want to address any privacy concerns you may have.
To that end, we have set forth our privacy policy for handling the
information you share with us online.
We want your decision to do business with us to be an informed one.
1. Collecting
Information
When you visit
our Website, we may collect information about you that you voluntarily
choose to share with us. This identification information may include,
but is not limited to, your name, your physical address, your email
address, your telephone and fax numbers, details of your real estate
and lending needs and preferences, and other details of your life.
What may be less obvious to you is that, when you visit our Website, we
may collect data involving your usage through the use of cookies(i.e.
small text files placed on your computer by a Website), Web server
logs, and other Web tools. This technology allows us to customize your
online experience, as well as track your Internet use. The tracking
data we collect may include, but is not limited to, the date and time
you visit, the time you spend, the Web pages you view, the other
Websites you visit, your search queries, and basic information about
your computer, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your domain
name, your browser type, and the name of your Internet service
provider. You may deactivate cookies if you do not want your browsing
to be tracked, but doing so may hinder your online experience.
When visiting our Website, you may be directed, through hyperlinks, to
other Websites that are beyond our control. Furthermore, when you are
visiting our Website, other companies, such as third party advertisers
and sponsors, may be gathering information about you. This Privacy
Policy does not cover the collection of information by those other
companies and Websites. Although we encourage third parties to provide
their own privacy policies, we are not responsible for their
activities, such as how they handle the information they collect
online.
2. Using
Information Collected
We primarily use
the identification information you voluntarily share with us to
customize your online experience and to do what you have asked of us.
We also use your identification information to tell you about our
products and services, but you may instruct us not to send
communications to you by following the procedure indicated below under
Contacting Us. On occasion, we use your identification information to
validate your identity. As for usage tracking data, we primarily use
that information to operate and improve our Website, and to further our
marketing efforts.
As a general rule, we do not share your information with unaffiliated
third parties. We may, however, share your information with our own
personnel and our service providers to the extent necessary to fulfill
your requests. We may also share your information with our affiliates,
but we will not share it with unaffiliated third parties for direct
marketing purposes. We reserve the right to disclose your information
under limited circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement
or judicial authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect
our own legal rights, or to protect the public good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the information you give
out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement and maintain
reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy,
we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us.
We accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third
parties.
3. Updating
Information
If you would
like to review the information about you that we have collected through
our Website, or to change that information, you can make that request
by following the procedure indicated below under Contacting Us. We may
require that you verify your identity before we process your request.
4. Updating
Our Privacy Policy
We may, from
time to time, change our Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any
changes by posting our updated Privacy Policy on our Website and
inserting a new Effective Date.
5. Contacting

If you would
like to send us a request as indicated above, or if you have any other
questions or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy, you may contact me

Policy is effective as of December 1, 2004
