address, phone number, and other contact information, whether at

recognize you when you return to the site in the future. This is
done as a convenience to you so that you don't need to re-register."
2. Is Information Shared or Disclosed?
Rate One Finance may store and disclose personal information as
allowed or required by applicable law, including making disclosures
that are necessary or advisable to:
(a) protect the rights, safety or property of users of our Site,
the public, Rate One Finance or our suppliers; and

Under certain circumstances, Rate One Finance may choose to trade,

Also, if Rate One Finance should ever file for bankruptcy or merge
with another company, we may sell the information you provide to
Rate One Finance on this Site to a third party or share your personal
information with any company with whom we merge. Users who would
rather not provide any of the information requested by our registration
process do not need to register with Rate One Finance. You can still
view some of the content available on our Site without registering.
You will, however, need to register to access most of the information
available on our Site.
3. Some Examples of When We Share Your Information
We work with many publishers and their agents to provide you with
access to the content available on this Site. Accordingly, certain
items and content on the Site are delivered to you by companies
other than Rate One Finance. This includes property and community
information. In the cases where you purchase an item on our Site
that is fulfilled by another company, you become a customer of the
publisher or seller of that item, and we will provide certain of
your personal information to that third party. We typically provide
personal information such as the item purchased, the price you paid,
your name, your email address and your mailing address. We may also
ask you to provide us with certain marketing or demographic information
at the time of your purchase. If you choose to provide us with any
such marketing or demographic information, we may be contractually
obligated to share this information with the applicable third party.
We generally have no control over how the third party will use your
personal information, which might include direct marketing of other
products from the same company, or the marketing of your name and
address to other companies for the purpose of marketing other products
and services to you.
In any case, we will not be liable for any damages that may result
from the use or misuse of your personal information by third parties
from which you purchase items through the Services or by third parties
with whom we have marketing and other partnerships.

5. Security and Passwords
The personally identifiable information we collect about you is
stored in limited access servers. Rate One Finance intends to take
reasonable and appropriate steps to protect such information from
unauthorized access or disclosure. While we make efforts to ensure
that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit
to us, and you do so at your own risk.
When your password is requested on this Site, we use secure socket
layer (SSL) encryption to present secure pages to protect that information.
You can tell if you are using a secure server by looking at the
bottom of your browser window. In Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer, you will see a lock icon. When the symbol is unbroken
or the padlock appears to be in its closed state, the page is encrypted
and therefore secure. If you wish to take advantage of the latest
encryption standards, be sure you have the latest version of the
browser you use. You can download the latest version from the Netscape
or Microsoft web sites. Using beta versions of browsers is not recommended.
You can change your password at any time, and you can set a new
password in case you forgot your old one which is accessible from
our home page. Please keep your password in a safe place and do
not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your account
and close your browser window when you have finished your visit.
This is especially important if you are sharing a computer with
someone else or are using a computer in a public place such as a
library or Internet cafe.
6. Emails Sent to You
We will send you emails relating to certain activities including
when you request property information. We may send you email notices
about new features, products and services. We may also send you
email notices regarding Site and service announcements containing
important information about the Services. You can unsubscribe to
these notifications by following the 'unsubscribe' instructions
at the bottom of the email you receive.
