or operated by F&AW which link to this policy, unless otherwise
specified. This privacy policy discloses the information collection
and disclosure practices for our Sites. By accessing these Sites,
you consent to the collection and use of information as described
within this privacy policy. We reserve the right to change this
privacy policy at any time. If we make any changes in content to

Information Collection
* Personal Information - In order to complete a
service request or to enroll as a prospective service professional,
a user must first complete a registration form. During registration
a user is required to give contact information (such as name and
email address). We use this information to contact the user about
services on our site for which they have expressed interest, to
inform service professionals of leads, and/or inform customers about
service professionals they matched to. By providing this information
to us, or by submitting a service request, you expressly consent
to being contacted by us and by our service professionals and providers,
which may include third party companies, via phone, fax, email,
mail or other reasonable means, at any of your contact numbers or
addresses, in order that we may provide the services set forth on
our Web site, service your account, reasonably address matters pertaining
to your account or for other reasonable purposes related to our
business. We may also collect demographic information, such as your
ZIP code, age, gender, and preferences. Information we collect may
be combined with information we obtained through other services
we offer. We may collect information about your visit to the Sites,
including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions
taken in connection with the Sites and services. We may also collect
certain standard information that your browser sends to every web
site you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language,
access times and referring Web site addresses. Our Sites may also
provide you with various services related to home selling and home
buying (e.g., estimates of current market value of homes, moving
costs, mortgage or finance costs, current home listings, neighborhood
information, etc.) in these instances we may collect additional
information related to the services.
Use and Disclosure of Information Collected
* Personal Information - We use the personal information
collected internally to serve our users and to enhance our relationship
with our users. Services may include the display of personalized
content and advertising. For example, by understanding how you use
the Sites from your computer, we are able to customize and personalize
your experience. More specifically, we use personal information
for the purposes for which it was collected (such as to provide
you with the services), to anticipate and resolve problems with
our Sites, to respond to customer support inquiries, and to send
you periodic e-mail newsletters which may inform you of other products
or services offered by F&AW and its affiliates, to send you relevant
survey invitations related to our services and for our own internal
operations (including internal analysis as described below). We
may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to
you. By registering for our Sites or otherwise submitting an inquiry
to us you agree to receive the materials described herein. You may
unsubscribe at any time from receiving non-service related communications.
You should review the following section to understand when we disclose
personal information to third parties.
* Feedback and Testimonials - We collect feedback from our users
about the performance of Service Professionals we referred our users
to. We also collect general feedback and testimonials from users
of our service and system. By providing such feedback to us, you
consent to our use, publication and/or distribution of such feedback
at no compensation to you, and if you are a Service Professional
in our system, you acknowledge that all such testimonials are solely
owned by F&AW, and you consent to the publication of testimonials
about you and your services provided.
* Log Files - Like most standard Web site servers we use log files.
This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet
service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time
stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Web
site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use
* Cookies and Web Beacons/Bugs - F&AW and/or its third party advertisers
may use cookies to identify users and customize their experience
on our site based on information provided to us. Cookies are small
bits of information or files that are stored on a user's computer
for record keeping purposes. A cookie is not designed or intended
to read any information from your computer other than the contents
of the cookie. Instead, it is an identifier used by the Web site
that originally placed it on your hard drive. The contents of the
cookie information can be used by the same site's Web server in
order to personalize, monitor, or regulate the use of the site.
F&AW and our third party advertisers may use Web beacons or bugs
on our Sites to monitor the effectiveness of advertising. A Web
beacon or bug is a small graphic image on a Web page, Web-based
document or in an e-mail message. They are designed to allow the
site owner or a third party to monitor who is visiting a site. Web
beacons collect non-personally identifying information such as the
IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL
of the page the Web beacon comes from and the time it was viewed.
F&AW and our third party advertisers do not use Web beacons and
bugs to collect personally identifying information about you.
* Internal company use - We will use and disclose information about
you for our own internal statistical, design or operational purposes.
We may also share personal information with third-party vendors
who assist us in performing internal functions necessary to operate
our business. We require our third party vendors to keep such information
confidential and to only use the information for the purpose it
was provided.
* Service Transactions - We will disclose personal information to
one or more third parties, as necessary, to provide you with the
services. As stated above, your personal information is forwarded
to one or more third party service providers (such as real estate
agents, brokers, lenders and other real estate professionals) in
order to provide you with the services. Our service providers may
contact you to complete the transactions you have requested by any
methods available to him/her be it via e-mail, telephone, regular
mail, in person visits or other means. We do not control third party
service providers use or disclosure of your personal information
and are not responsible for removing your information from any third
party databases. Please contact the third party service providers
directly to be removed from their databases.
* Co-Branded Services - Some services may be co-branded and offered
in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use
such services, both F&AW and the other company may receive information
collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
* Newsletters - If a user subscribes to our newsletters, we ask
for contact information such as name and email address. We have
respect for our user's privacy and we provide a way to opt-out of
these communications. See the Choice and Opt-out section below
* Service Announcements - Occasionally, it is necessary for us to
send out service related announcements regarding maintenance or
if service is temporarily suspended. Users may not opt-out of these
announcements. These communications are not promotional in nature.
* Third Party Advertisers - We may allow third-party ad servers
or ad networks to display advertisements on our Sites or within
our Newsletters. Some of these ad servers may place a persistent
cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer each
time they send you an online advertisement. Additionally, by registering
for our Sites, or Newsletters, you consent to the possibility that
we may disclose, sell, rent, loan, trade or lease any personally
identifying information collected at our Sites to any third party
company with which we may conduct business. Ad networks may compile
information about where your computer viewed their advertisements
and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows
an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements they determine
will be applicable to your interests. F&AW does not have access
to the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad networks.
* Links - As part of our service to our users we provide links to
unrelated third party web sites. We are neither responsible for
the content on nor for the information collection practices of such
web sites. Furthermore, we do not control the privacy policies of
these web sites. Policies set forth on these websites may differ
than those of F&AW and we recommend you review their privacy polices
before providing any information to these third party sites.
Children's use of our site and services
* In accordance with the Federal Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), we do not knowingly
collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the
age of 13. Registration on the Sites and Services is not available

Choice/Opt-out
* Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out'
of having their information used for any of the purposes outlines
within this policy. We are not responsible for any communications
you may receive from a third party company, and to be removed from
a third party company's database, you must contact them directly.
This allows our users to choose whether to keep their email address
from being added to our marketing lists. Users who no longer want
