COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION

In order to ensure that IIC's web sites are useful and effective for its Users, IIC uses log files to analyze information. 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 site, track visitor's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. These types of log files are not linked to personal information. IIC uses these statistics to improve site content and usability; this information does not identify visitors personally. Visitors are not required to be IIC or Rentomatic.com subscribers in order to gain access to IIC's public web sites, with the exception of specific secured pages. However, when a User enters an IIC subscriber Login Name and Password in order to access to Rentomatic.com or other secured pages, a "cookie" may be deployed. If the User clicks "Save Login Information", the User Login Name will be saved in a "cookie" - a small text file stored on the visitor's browser - on the User's computer, so that the User will not have retype the Login Name the next time the User visits the Rentomatic.com web site. In addition, the Rentomatic.com web site uses the "Secure Sockets Layer" security protocol ("SSL") - a standard industry security technology that protects web communications. The Rentomatic.com server will write a "temporary cookie" to the User's computer. This cookie enables the web site to "remember" this authentication information during movement from one page to another during a session. This makes it unnecessary to log in again on each page. The temporary cookie only saves assigned identification information for the session and contains no personal information. If you have set your Internet web browser to reject cookies, access may be denied to secured areas of IIC's web sites. IIC also collects limited personal information from Users and prospective Users worldwide in order to provide Rentomatic.com services and related services to Users. Examples of this information would be: name, email address, and also other information necessary to process credit card payment for the purchase by Users of subscriptions to Rentomatic.com and the purchase of credits and other requested transactions and services on Rentomatic.com. In addition, the nature and purpose of Rentomatic.com is to organize and store, and subsequently display to User-selected third parties, certain information and files selected by Users, which information is uploaded, in electronic file format, by Users to Rentomatic.com. It is the User's choice to include or not include personal information in such files, or to grant permission to third parties to view the User's portfolio. Uploaded files and information are selected and/or created by the User, and can be in virtually any electronic file format (e.g., Word documents, electronic spreadsheets, pdf format files, graphics, video and sound files, and links to other files accessible through the Internet from outside of the Rentomatic.com program). Permission to view a User’s real estate advertisements/listings may be enabled in Rentomatic.com and may be publicly viewed. Publicly viewed information is determined by the user and is only applicable to real estate advertisements.

Protected information includes, mortgage, lease details, tenant data and financial data not disclosed by the User. In addition the user may also choose to keep their personal contact information private while continuing to receive inquiries in private via Rentomatic.com servers. This option is selected by the User per property advertisement created. Users may promote and publish links for the purpose of marketing real estate and real estate related services on Rentomatic.com. Links may also be transmitted via email to other viewers for the purpose of marketing real estate. Users should be aware that there are laws that govern unsolicited email communications, and Users should seek the consent of the prospective viewer to receive an email from IIC containing a link to Rentomatic.com.

IIC staff will have access to Users' portfolios for service, support and maintenance purposes. A subscribing User may edit the User's own information stored in the User's portfolios at any time by logging in with his or her Login Name and Password. IIC strongly urges subscribing Users to not divulge their Login Name and Password to anyone, and to not enable any login storage feature of any web browser or software program, which would permit anyone with access to the subscriber's computer to have access to the subscriber's personal Rentomatic.com account. IIC also urges Users to completely close their web browser window when they have finished visiting the Rentomatic.com web site. This is to ensure that others cannot easily access personal information if the computer is shared or is used at a public place. Subscriber credit card and payment information is not stored in a database or on any servers connected to the Internet. This is to provide the best protection of subscriber payment information. Credit card data transmission in the subscription process is encrypted using SSL or other encryption techniques. IIC has physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place, including an Information Security Policy, to protect personal information provided to IIC or stored in Rentomatic.com from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, alteration and destruction. Although there cannot be a guaranty of the security of personal information provided by Users to IIC or stored in Rentomatic.com, IIC believes that its security policies and safeguards are reasonable and appropriate to adequately protect such information, regardless of the format in which such information is held. IIC intends to review and update its security policies and safeguards on a regular basis. IIC requires that its employees keep all personal information confidential and comply with its Information Security Policy and privacy practices. IIC uses reasonable efforts to ensure that upon disposal or destruction of personal information, confidentiality of the information is maintained.
