Rental Househunter Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Rental Househunter is committed to protecting your right to privacy. The privacy statement below discloses in great detail the information we gather and how we use it, our security measures, and information about our website usage. Most importantly, you should know that:

SITE POLICIES, MODIFICATION, AND SEVERABILITY
By using this site you acknowledge that you have read and accept our Privacy Policy. Rental Househunter may update this Privacy Policy from time to time without any notice to you. Please check back often to keep up to date of any changes. Your continued use of this site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept these changes. Persons under the age of 18 should not use this site in any way. RentalHousehunter.com and its affiliates reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, and remove or edit content in their sole discretion.


PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION
Rental Househunter has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, including protecting information behind a firewall, encrypting your personal information so that it cannot be read by a third party during transmission, and providing a secured intranet barrier between our servers and the Internet.
Rental Househunter uses industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect data transmissions. The personal, customer information you provide to establish an account with us and to make purchases from us, including your credit card information, is secured using SSL encryption. SSL encryption prevents such information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted data goes to a secure site where your information is stored on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites.


PASSWORDS/LOGGING OUT
To further secure your personal information, we require you to create a password when you establish an account with us. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account. We encourage you to use a password that is not easily guessed (i.e., don't use your name or your spouse's name). Keep your password secret; do not share it with anyone. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.
Always remember to exit from your account at the end of each session or when you decide to step away from your computer. Anyone who accesses your computer after you have signed in but before you have signed out can access your account. As an extra safeguard for your information, your session will automatically be terminated if your computer goes through a period of inactivity longer than 25 minutes. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to immediately notify Rental Househunter of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. Rental Househunter cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this.
If you forget your password, you can click the "Forget your Password?" link on the login page. You will be asked to enter your email address and to provide the correct answer to the Security Question you selected when registering. Your password will be sent to the email address under which your Rental Househunter account has been registered.


REGISTRATION AND STORING INFORMATION
If you choose to register with Rental Househunter or to use our services, we may ask that you provide us with contact information (name and e-mail address), financial information (credit card numbers), demographic information (address and zip code), and unique identifiers. We do not purge customer information on a regular basis, so information you provide us will remain in our systems for an indefinite amount of time. You can edit your account information at any time, and you can delete your listing at any time.
Rental Househunter uses your personal information to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
