IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, SIMPLY EXIT THIS PAGE AND/OR THE APPLICATION WITHOUT ACCESSING OR USING ANY OF OUR SERVICES.

At Nestigator, we appreciate your use of and contributions to our websites, our mobile and desktop applications, our other properties and/or our related services (collectively known as the "Services," or, each individually, a "Service"). Nestigator respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This is our privacy policy and we will comply with it, as well as applicable U.S. privacy laws, when we gather and use information from users of the Services.

Business Model

A portion of our services and features are funded through advertising dollars. This advertising revenue helps keep Nestigator free of charge for our personal user community. We strive to make advertisements relevant and useful to you. Therefore, we may serve advertisements to you based on the information we collect from you or in relation to your interaction with the Services. We will do our best to be transparent regarding the data and information we collect from you. We endeavor to keep information private between you and Nestigator, except as explained below. In addition to generating revenue from advertising, Nestigator will generate revenue from premium services, which could range from access to exclusive offerings and rich media rental placements to other additional services features provided to both landlord customers and consumer app users.

Information Collection, Use and Sharing

When you use the Services, we collect a variety of information.

• Information you provide. When using our Services, you agree to provide information, such as name, address, email address, mobile device/cell phone number, and details around a potential transaction. This will occur when you register on Nestigator, when you find a home, communicate with a real estate agent using our Services, or complete other forms through Nestigator. You may also provide information about a third party through the Services. For example, if you share a real estate listing with a recipient via email, we may combine this information with other information we collect from your interaction with the Services or from other companies. In addition, when you order products or services through the Services, Nestigator may collect your credit/debit card information. This information is secured using industry-standard encryption technology and we will secure such information a PCI compliant manner. Nestigator will use this information solely to complete your order and will not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete the order or comply with applicable law. In the event that a credit report is required to use a Service, Nestigator may collect your Social Security number ("SSN"). This information is secured using industry-standard encryption technology. Nestigator restricts access to SSNs to employees, vendors and subcontractors who require SSNs to support certain products and services. Nestigator strives to protect SSNs from unlawful disclosure and to keep them confidential by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable state and federal regulations.

• Cookies and Web beacons. We may work with service providers and advertisers and/or other partners and advertising service providers to serve ads or services to computers, mobile phones or other devices, which may use a cookie, pixel or other similar technology placed by us or the third party (although we would not share any other information that identifies you with an advertiser). This Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy covers the use of cookies by Nestigator and its service providers and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. Also, certain versions of the iOS operating system permit you to limit ad tracking in the system settings. Additionally, you can opt-out of Nestigator serving behaviorally targeted ads outside of our apps and websites in your account settings. We and our agents use technologies like cookies, pixels, and local storage (like on your browser or device, which is similar to a cookie but holds more information) on our website, in our emails, and identifiers supplied by app platform companies within our apps to provide you with a range of products and services. You can control cookies through your browser settings and other tools. By continuing to use our Services through your computer or mobile device, you consent to our use of cookies, pixels and local storage in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Some pages of the Services may use third-party Web beacons. In addition to our use of the data to analyze visitor activity on the Services, these Web beacons may use anonymous information about your visit in order to improve its products and services and to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

  We have implemented Google Analytics remarketing, which tracks and manages cookie information so that we and third-party service providers can better deliver advertisements that are relevant and useful to you on Nestigator websites and various websites across the Internet. We have also implemented Google Analytics display network impression reporting to better understand how ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our sites. You can customize ads or opt out of these services using the Google Ads Settings.

• Mobile Device and Mobile Browser. You may adjust settings on your mobile device and mobile browser regarding cookies and sharing of certain information, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Please refer to the instructions provided by your mobile service provider or mobile device manufacturer.
• Usage logs. When you use the Services, your computer or other electronic device communicates a variety of information to computer servers, including the existence of cookies, your Internet Protocol address, and information about your browser program. We also create a record of what information you are requesting, such as the page or subject areas you're visiting.
• Social Networks. If you use the social networking connection functions offered through the Services, we may access all of your social network profile information that you have made available to be shared and to use it in accordance with this privacy policy. Please refer to the instructions governing your social network account to manage the information that is shared through your account.
• Calls. Please note that any calls to Nestigator or to partners or third parties of Nestigator may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes. If a call is recorded between you and a third party, it will be deemed private information of both you and the third party, and may be released to either of you.

Usage and Disclosure

Nestigator uses the data and information collected from you to enhance your user experience, communicate with you and optimally operate our Services. Nestigator also uses this information to respond to your requests and present you with advertising that we believe will be of interest or useful to you. Your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting information that identifies you personally, where you have chosen to keep it private ("Personal Information"). We will only share Personal Information that you provide outside the public areas of the Services in the following circumstances:

• Consent. When you consent or direct Nestigator to share the Personal Information. For example, if you choose to contact a real estate agent or lender through the Services, your name and email address will appear to the recipient of the message.
• Service providers to Nestigator. When Nestigator hires a service provider to help operate the Services or our business, Nestigator may give access to Personal Information only as necessary to perform the service for Nestigator, and subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
• Partners with whom we conduct business. Nestigator may give business partners access to Personal Information only as necessary to offer products and services with those business partners, and subject to the terms of this privacy policy
• Legal obligation or protection from harm. When Nestigator has a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the Personal Information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any requirement of law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce or investigate a potential violation of the Terms of Use, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise respond to fraud, security or technical concerns, (d) support auditing and compliance functions, or (e) protect the rights, property, or safety of Nestigator, its users, or the public against harm.
• Merger or sale. If and when Nestigator is involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of transfer or sale of some or all of its business, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding. Personal Information may be transferred along with the business.

Nestigator may also share certain aggregated data with other third parties for general marketing and demographic purposes; however, this data, when shared on an aggregated basis, does not include any of your personal identifying information. Some of our Services may be offered in conjunction with partner companies, affiliates or other companies or websites with which we work. In order for us to provide these Services to you, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information with one of such entities. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these Services. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular Service. In addition to the uses of the information described above, Nestigator may, from time to time, collect purchasing information and/or data from other sources. We may collect this information for purposes of performing analytics and conducting consumer research. This information may be used to communicate and provide additional information that may be of interest to you and our merchants.

When you provide public information without identifying yourself, we will protect your personal identity as described above. If your account profile does not identify you personally, Nestigator won't reveal your identity to third parties except in accordance with this policy. You should keep in mind that the information that you choose to provide in a public area of the Services (such as your profile page or the discussion forums) will not be protected by this privacy policy because you have made an active choice to make that information public. We are not responsible for any Personal Information you choose to submit in any public area of the Services.

When we deliver ads based on data about your use of the Services, we keep your identity anonymous. We won't identify you personally to third parties, except in accordance with this privacy policy. Of course, if you choose to respond to an advertised offer with your name and contact information, you will no longer be anonymous to the advertiser. 

Real Estate Data and Information

Nestigator aims to be open and transparent regarding real estate data and information. Nestigator makes available historical sales or lease prices for apartments and homes. Nestigator enables any user to post a question or answer about a given home. Generally, all of this information is already publicly available. As long as discussion surrounds real estate and not individuals, our goal is to keep this information freely available through the Services. When a professional engages and joins the Nestigator community, we may also allow users to comment on the professional.

Email

You may receive email from Nestigator for a variety of reasons-for example, if you took an action through the Services, you signed up for a regular report, or you posted your home for rent and a renter sends you a message. We respect your desire to manage email correspondence. If you have an account with Nestigator, you can select your preferences through your Notifications settings. Also, you can manage your receipt of some types of communication by following the instructions included in the email we send you. Please note that, even if you unsubscribe from certain email correspondences, we may still need to email you with important transactional or administrative information.

Targeted and Behavioral Advertising

At Nestigator, we may participate in targeted and behavioral advertising. This means that, for example, when you use the Services, we or third party service providers or advertisers may use cookies, beacons, or other similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services across different Web sites, app’s and/or browsers. These tailored or targeted advertisements may appear on the Services or on other websites, app’s or properties. In addition, if you have provided your cell phone, mobile device number or email address to us, we may use a scrambled, unreadable form (a hash) of your data/information to deliver tailored or targeted advertisements to you on the Services or on other websites, including via Facebook’s Custom Audience Feature or other similar Facebook tools. We will not share your email address with Facebook. Click here to learn about how you can control the ads you see on Facebook. You may opt-out of cookie tracking and analysis as described in the section below entitled ‘Opting Out of Collection of Information’. The Services do not otherwise respond to ‘do not track’ signals.

Opting Out of Collection of Information by Third Parties

Nestigator's third-party ad servers, ad network providers, and third-party advertisers (the "Nestigator Ad Providers") may provide you with advertisements that you may see on the Services or on other affiliated websites. To improve the relevancy and help measure the effectiveness of such advertisements, the Nestigator Ad Providers may use cookies, Web beacons, clear .gifs or similar technologies. These are used to record users' activity, such as the pages visited, and to learn what types of information are of most interest to the users.

Nestigator Ad Providers. Use of these technologies by Nestigator Ad Providers is subject to their own privacy policies and is not covered by our privacy policy.

If you do not want Nestigator and its marketing services providers to follow your usage of our Services via cookies and Web beacons, you can opt out of Cookies/Web beacons from: comScore, Google Analytics, Omniture and Yahoo! Opting out of these services does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the service from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your Web preferences and usage patterns. Please note that, if you opt out and later delete your cookies, use a different browser, or use a different computer or other electronic device, you will need to renew your opt-out choices.

Location Data

Nestigator can provide you with helpful information based on where you are. If you tell Nestigator where you are (e.g., by allowing your mobile device to send Nestigator your location), Nestigator may use that information to provide you with location-based information and advertising. If you wish to deactivate this feature, you can disable location services on your mobile device.

Third-Party Partners, Providers and Websites

Throughout the Services, we may link to strategic partners, service providers and/or other partner websites of companies and/or individuals. Nestigator services and features may involve the distribution of your listing information to websites unrelated to us. These third-party websites may collect Personal Information about users on their websites. Please note that Nestigator's privacy policy does not extend to these external websites and third parties. Please visit these third parties websites regarding their privacy policies.
