We at The Kane Company (referred to as “We,” “our”, or “Kane”) 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.

The Kane Company gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites (via the “Subscribe” feature); and data The Kane Company gathers 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 improve the quality of our site. How does The Kane Company collect information?

Optional Registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you subscribe to our site via the “Subscribe” feature or request information or receive a service from our company or its representatives. Usually, The Kane Company sites and our partners use your information to operate the web site and to deliver services. Kane also uses your information to inform you about services available from The Kane Company, recent property transactions, or new or revised property brochures.

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.

The Kane Company collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration. When Customers request pages from The Kane Company site, our server logs 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 your 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 www.netkane.com will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you may have difficulty completing certain requests.

With whom does The Kane Company share my Information?
As a general rule, The Kane Company 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.

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 in" to the subscription service. 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: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

What happens when you link to a third party site?
You should be aware that when you are on The Kane Company's web site you have the option be directed to other sites that are beyond our control and/or outside our service. For example, if you "click" on any of the links under “Local Links,” the "click" will transfer you off the www.netkane.com site. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use The Kane Company's logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.

Kane does not control such sites, and, therefore, is not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such sites. The Kane Company's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet. 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. The Kane Company strives to protect their Customers' information and privacy, however, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.

Is my Information secure from others using the www.netkane.com site?
The 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, The Kane Company cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, The Kane Company uses 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.
