We
at World Realty
& Management INC.
and the family of
companies at Fedi-Tec
Inc (FDT), our owner,
(referred to as
"we,"
"us," or
"our")
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. 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, we gather
two types of
information about
Customers: data that
Customers provide
through optional,
voluntary registration
on our sites; and data
we gather 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.
Providing such
aggregated data is
essential to keeping
our service free to
Customers.
However, be assured
that we 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
do we collect
Information?
Optional
registration
We
collect information by
specifically
requesting it from
you. Generally this
occurs when you
register at a site or
request information or
a service. Usually,
our sites and service
partners use your
information to operate
the sites and to
deliver services. Our
sites also use your
information to inform
you about other
products or services
available from us.
Usage
tracking
Use
of Internet Protocol
("IP")
Addresses:
An
IP address is a unique
number that is
automatically assigned
to your computer
whenever you're
surfing the Internet
so that your computer
can be identified by
the main computers,
known as "Web
servers," that
"serve up"
Web pages. We
collect IP addresses
for the purposes of
system administration,
to report aggregated
information to our
advertisers, and to
audit the use of our
site. When Customers
request pages from our
sites, our servers log
the Customers' IP
addresses. We do
not normally link IP
addresses to anything
personally
identifiable, which
means that a
Customer's session
will be logged, but
the Customer will
remain anonymous to
us. We can and
will use IP addresses
to identify a Customer
when we feel it is
necessary to enforce
compliance with our
site terms of use or
terms of service or to
protect our service,
site, customers or
others.
Use
Of Cookies
What
are cookies?
Cookies are small
pieces of information
that a Web site sends
to yours computer for
record-keeping
purposes, which
information is stored
in a file on your
computer. Cookies make
Web surfing easier for
you by saving your
preferences so that we
can use the saved
information to
facilitate your use of
our Web site when you
return to the site.
Cookies do not tell us
your individual
identity unless you
have chosen to provide
it to us. We
never save passwords
or credit card
information in
cookies. The use
of cookies is an
industry standard, and
as such, you'll find
that most major Web
sites use them.
By
showing how and when
Customers use a site,
cookies help us see
which areas are
popular and which are
not. Many
improvements and
updates to the site
are based on such data
as total number of
visitors and pages
viewed. This
information is most
easily tracked with
cookies. We use
the information from
cookies to provide
services better
tailored to our
Customers' needs.
Most cookies expire
after a defined period
of time, or you can
delete your cookie
file at any time.
Most browsers are
initially set up to
accept cookies.
You can reset your
browser to refuse all
cookies or indicate
when a cookie is being
sent. However,
note that some parts
of our services will
not function properly
or may be considerably
slower if you refuse
cookies. For
example, without
cookies, you will not
be able to set
personalized
preferences, and/or
may have difficulty
completing marketing
transactions.
We
have two primary uses
for cookies.
First, we use them to
specify a Customer's
preferences. For
example, Customers can
specify keywords
across several
categories or markets
so you don't have to
tell us repeatedly
about certain features
in the home you are
seeking. Second,
we use cookies to
track Customers' Web
site usage trends and
patterns. This
helps us understand
our Customers' needs
better and improve
areas of services that
our Customers find
valuable. While
both of these
activities depend on
the use of cookies,
you have the option of
disabling the cookies
via your browser
preferences.
You
may occasionally get
cookies from our
advertisers. We
do not control these
cookies. The use
of advertising cookies
sent by third-party
servers is standard in
the Internet industry.
With
whom do we share your
Information?
As
a general rule we will
not disclose any
specific personal
information that you
submit to us about you
("Personal
Information") in
a manner that connects
you with the Personal
Information, except
when we have your
permission or under
special circumstances,
such as when we
believe in good faith
that the law requires
it or under the
circumstances
described below. The
following describes
some of the ways that
your Personal
Information may be
disclosed.
Business
Partners &
Sponsors: We may
disclose some or all
of your Personal
Information to
business partners or
sponsors, but this use
will be specifically
described to you prior
to data collection or
prior to transferring
the data. Many
promotions offer
opportunities to
request additional
information from
sponsors. By
requesting more
information, you give
us permission to
transfer your Personal
Information to the
sponsor so they can
fulfill your request.
In many instances,
only your e-mail
address will be
shared. If more
Personal Information
will be shared with
the sponsor, you will
be notified prior to
the transfer.
Third
Party & Aggregate
Data: From time to
time, you may be
offered the
opportunity to receive
materials or special
offers from third
parties. If you
opt to receive
information from these
third parties, we will
(with your permission)
share your name and
e-mail address with
such third parties.
Under confidentiality
agreements, we may
match Personal
Information with third
party data.
Also, we may keep
track of what portions
of the Web site
Customers are visiting
and other Customer
statistics, and
aggregate this
information to help us
create a better
experience for users
of our Web site.
This is all done
without knowing your
name or other Personal
Information in order
to describe our
viewers and services
to prospective
partners, advertisers,
and other third
parties, and for other
lawful purposes.
Other:
We 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
our terms of use or
terms of service, or
may be causing injury
to or interference
(either intentionally
or unintentionally)
with any of our rights
or property, other
Customers, or anyone
else. We may
disclose or access
account Information
when we believe in
good faith that the
law requires it and
for administrative and
other purposes that we
deem necessary to
maintain, service, and
improve our products
and services.
How
can you control the
usage of Information?
In
case you change your
mind or some Personal
Information changes
(such as your zip code
or e-mail address), we
will try to provide a
way to correct, update
or remove the Personal
Information that you
give us. We also give
you the opportunity to
control the
communications we
direct to you.
We offer Customers the
opportunity to
"opt out" of
having Personal
Information shared
with parties outside
of our company or our
affiliated companies.
If a Customer wishes
to update Personal
Information or objects
to any usage provided
herein for any reason,
he/she may e-mail the
requested change to: realty.webmaster@wld-rlty.com
What
happens when you link
to a third party site?
You
should be aware that
when you are on our
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 wld-rlty.com
search result, the
"click" may
transfer you off the wld-rlty.com
site. These
other sites may
include sites of
advertisers, sponsors
and partners that may
use our affiliates' or
our logo as part of a
co-branding agreement.
These other sites may
send their own cookies
to Customers, collect
data, or solicit
Information.
We
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. Our
inclusion of
hyperlinks to these
sites does not imply
any endorsement of the
material on such sites
or any association
with their operators.
Our policy does not
extend to anything
that is inherent in
the operation of the
Internet, which is
beyond our 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
don't know.
While we strive to
protect our 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
your Information
secure from others
using our 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, we can't
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, we use
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.

ACCEPTANCE OF THESE
TERMS

signify your agreement
to our Privacy Policy.
IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH
THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO
NOT USE THIS SITE.
Your continued use of
our site following the
posting of changes to
these terms will mean

changes. |
