Disclosure of Information
We will not share your Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share your information with our own personnel and our service providers to the extent necessary to fulfill your requests. We may also share your information with our real estate franchisees or other real estate brokerages, but we will not share it with unaffiliated third parties for direct marketing purposes. We reserve the right to disclose your information under limited circumstances to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the public good. For example, we may disclose information:
Email and Electronic Communication We use email as an effective means of communication across different time zones and to accommodate differing schedules between our customers and our normal business hours. Email and other electronic means of exchanging information is used to collect information and clarify needs to fulfill your request(s) for service. Depending upon your specific circumstances and needs, we may also send you email about products and services that may meet your needs. If you do not wish to receive emailed marketing messages from us (email not directly related to your inquiry), please send an email note to HomeConnections@hsfranchise.com and include the text, “Please remove my email from your marketing list.” The address from which you write to us will be removed from our lists for email marketing messages. Whenever you are online or on our applications, you run the risk that the information you give out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement and maintain commercially reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us. We accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third parties. By using our consumer applications and applications, you agree to our Terms of Use. Anti-Fraud Disclosure Electronic communications such as email, text messages and social media messaging, are neither secure nor confidential. While HSF Affiliates LLC has adopted policies and procedures to aid in avoiding fraud, even the best security protections can still be bypassed by unauthorized parties. We will never send you any electronic communication with instructions to transfer funds or to provide nonpublic personal information, such as credit card or debit numbers or bank account and/or routing numbers. You should never transmit nonpublic personal information, such as credit or debit card numbers or bank account or routing numbers, by email or other unsecured electronic communication. Emails attempting to induce fraudulent wire transfers are common and may appear to come from a trusted source. If you receive any electronic communication directing you to transfer funds or provide nonpublic personal information, even if that electronic communication appears to be from us, do not respond to it and immediately contact Home Connections directly. Such requests, even if they may otherwise appear to be from us, are likely part of a scheme to defraud you by stealing funds from you or using your identity to commit a crime.
