PRIVACY POLICY

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users.  When you register for our services, the information you provide to us is used to provide the services you have registered for, to deliver email notifications to you, and from time to time, to validate your identity.  Our data collection policies with regard to current and future services allow you to choose how much information you provide to us, and to control how we use that information.  Please read below for more information.

Our Commitment

We are committed to making your experience satisfying and safe.  Our data collection policies allow you to choose how much information you provide to us, and what we do with the information you supply.  We will keep your information within our site unless you consent to our supplying all or a portion of your information to mortgage brokers, lenders, sellers or other third parties as a part of one of our investment and service offerings.  However, if you tell us not to send you further emails, this instruction may be communicated to third parties who send email on our behalf solely to allow us to comply with your instructions.  We collect information online to allow you to use our services.  Depending on the service you are accessing, you could be asked at various times to provide information such as your name, email address, street address, contact phone number or other information related to your investment objectives.

Information collected online is often defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable

Anonymous information refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual.  For instance, we may know that thousands of people have visited this privacy policy, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live, or their date of birth.  What we collect from visits such as this constitutes anonymous information.  Many of the individuals who access our services decline to use the personalization features that are available to them, and therefore those individuals are anonymous to us and the only data we collect about them is anonymous information.

Personally identifiable information refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, email address or phone number.  In many cases we need this information to provide the service that you have requested, apply for loans or secure a contract to purchase real estate.  We hope that, like many of our partners, you will find it beneficial to provide personally identifiable information to us so that we may provide services to you.  Registering with us will also cause a cookie to be issued; this cookie allows us to “recognize” you when you are on our site to allow us to personalize our service for you.

Links to Third Party Web Sites

As a service to our users we may provide links to various unrelated third party websites.  We are neither responsible for the content on nor for the information collection practices of such websites, nor do we control the privacy policies of such websites.  Their policies may be substantially different in this regard from us.  Accordingly, we recommend that you review their privacy and information collection policies before providing any information to such third parties.

What Personally Identifiable Information of yours is collected by us

When you register for our online services, the information you provide to us is used to provide the service for which you have registered.  Depending on the services you have chosen to use, some or all of your personally identifiable information may be used by us to provide such services.  Personally identifiable information may also be provided to lenders, sellers, intermediaries and other third parties that we work with.  For example, if you register to use our service and agree to its terms, some of your information may be shown to a seller or seller’s broker (e.g., equity available for an acquisition).  When registering for our services, you provide us with your e-mail address.  We will use your e-mail address to deliver these our services, such as notifying you of new investment opportunities.  We and our partners may also send you information about other services if you have opted in to receiving such notifications.

If you post a testimonial on this website, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit here can be read, collected or used by other user/clients of this site, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages.  We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit to this site.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored by your computer that contains information related to a website.  Each website you visit may store a cookie on your computer that contains information assigned by that website.  Each such cookie can only be read by the website that created the cookie.  We use this cookie to keep track of your visit to our site so that we can deliver our services to you.  This cookie only contains randomly generated anonymous information.  Examples of the information we may collect and analyze using the cookie include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; your computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time; and products you viewed or searched for.  During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.  This cookie information is not shared with or used by any third party.  We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.

Information Distribution

If you are providing us with personally identifiable information, it will be used within our website to deliver our services.  Depending on the service and your preferences provided to us when registering for these services, your personally identifiable information may also be provided to mortgage brokers, lenders, sellers or other third parties we work with.  Except as otherwise provided in this privacy policy, however, we will not share, rent or sell your information to third parties without your permission.  We may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities.  If requested by law enforcement or judicial authorities, we will provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate documentation.

Choices that are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of the information

We offer you the ability to control the e-mail communications we send you.  It is our intention to give you as much control over our relationship as possible.  Registering with us does not require you to consent to receive e-mails about that service from us.  If you do consent to receive email from us, we give you the opportunity to unsubscribe to general email communication from us – clear directions for doing so will appear in the e mail messages we send to you.  At times, we may enter into co-branding arrangements with other companies, and if so, an opt-in or opt out question may be present to allow e-mail contact from these companies as well.  Their opt-in/out features are specific to each organization, but you should not receive e mail from these organizations unless you have indicated that it is acceptable.  Before consenting to receive email from third parties, you should read their privacy policy and terms of use, if applicable, to make sure you are comfortable dealing with that company.  We cannot make commitments on behalf of other companies.  We reserve the right to send a one-time registration confirmation e mails, and service alert messages to our users to inform them of service changes or issues with this privacy policy.

How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information

We believe strongly in providing you with the ability to access and edit the personal information that you have provided to us.  To update the information retained about you, please contact our customer service department.

Your Privacy Rights Regarding Third Party Sharing

To help service your requests, we may provide certain personally identifiable information to third parties who may use this information for their own purposes, including sending advertising to you.  If you would prefer to opt out of this usage of your personally identifiable information, you may do so by updating your personal profile and opting out of such usage.  To access your personal profile, you must first log in to www.envision-ny.com.  However, we will still use and provide to third parties your personally identifiable information to fulfill your request.
