“Personally Identifiable Information”

Refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains, including, but not limited to, name, address, phone number, email address,
financial profiles, social security number, and credit card information. Personally Identifiable Information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected to an identified individual.

What Personally Identifiable Information is collected?

We may collect basic user profile information from all of our Site Visitors. We collect the following additional information from our Authorized Customers: the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of Authorized Customers.

What organizations are collecting the information?

In addition to our direct collection of information, Melanie Stern, The Intuit Group, and VRG will not ask for financial information, credit card information, or your social security number. However, we work with
third-party vendors who are instrumental in processing a real estate transaction who will require such data, via online channels. For further protection, we provide each client a Wire Fraud Advisory before entering into a real estate contract. These third-party service vendors may include mortgage lenders, insurance brokers, escrow companies and title companies who may provide such services to our Customers and Clients. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.

How does the Site use Personally Identifiable Information?

We use Personally Identifiable Information to initiate communication, our service offerings, and orchestrate the scheduling of consultations regarding the buying, selling, and renting of real estate. We may email Site Visitors and Authorized Customers about research findings, pertinent real estate market information, or the sharing of current purchase. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to contact Visitors and Authorized Customers in response to specific inquiries, or to provide requested
information.

With whom may the information be shared?

Personally Identifiable Information pertaining to Authorized Customers and other non-personally identifiable information may be shared with our employees and with third party service providers who assist us with our Site operations or other services we offer related to real estate acquisition and sales. We also offer the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our behalf. Our agents, brokers, and third-party service providers and partners are contractually bound to use Personally Identifiable Information solely in connection with providing the Services and may not use it for any other purpose.

In some instances, we may be legally required to provide information about Visitors to government authorities, including law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence agencies. We cooperate with
law enforcement in identifying persons using our Services for illegal activities and reserve the right to report any activities that we believe to be unlawful.

How is Personally Identifiable Information stored?

Personally Identifiable Information collected by Melanie Stern/The Intuit Group of VRG is securely stored in accordance with current industry standards and is not accessible to third parties or employees of Melanie Stern/The Intuit Group except for use as indicated above.
