COOKIES
To improve the responsiveness of the sites for our users, we may use
"cookies", or similar electronic tools to collect information to
assign each visitor a unique, random number as a User Identification (User
ID) to understand the user's individual interests using the Identified
Computer. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration,
for example), we will have no way of knowing who you are, even if we assign
a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a cookie can
contain is information you supply (an example of this is when you ask for
our Personalised Horoscope). A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive.
Our advertisers may also assign their own cookies to your browser (if you
click on their ads), a process that we do not control.
Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your
computer's connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you
visit our site. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached
to the Internet know where to send you data -- such as the web pages you
view.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use this
information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our
site to the interests of our users, to measure traffic within our site and
let advertisers know the geographic locations from where our visitors come.
LINK TO THIRD PARTY SITES
Home-Investor.com includes links to other websites. Such sites are governed
by their respective privacy policies, which are beyond our control. Once
you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in
the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is
governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are
visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy
policy of any of these sites via a link from the site's homepage, you
should contact the site directly for more information.
When we present information to our advertisers -- to help them understand
our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our website -- it is

INFORMATION SHARING
Home-Investor.com shares the sensitive personal information to any third

limited circumstances:
a) When it is requested or required by law or by any court or
governmental agency or authority to disclose, for the purpose of
verification of identity, or for the prevention, detection, investigation
including cyber incidents, or for prosecution and punishment of offences.
These disclosures are made in good faith and belief that such disclosure is
reasonably necessary for enforcing these Terms; for complying with the
applicable laws and regulations.

sensitive personal data or information found to be inaccurate or deficient
shall be corrected or amended as feasible, subject to any requirement for
such personal information or sensitive personal data or information to be
retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual
users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed,
corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to
process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require
disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or
would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning
information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise
required. In any case where we provide information access and correction,
we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a
disproportionate effort. Because of the way we maintain certain services,
after you delete your information, residual copies may take a period of
time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our
backup systems.
INFORMATION SECURITY
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized
access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and
processing practices and security measures, including appropriate
encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized
access to systems where we store personal data.
All information gathered on Home-Investor.com is securely stored within the
Home-Investor.com controlled database. The database is stored on servers
secured behind a firewall; access to the servers is password-protected and
is strictly limited. However, as effective as our security measures are, no
security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our
database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be
intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. And, of
course, any information you include in a posting to the discussion areas is
available to anyone with Internet access.
However the internet is an ever evolving medium. We may change our privacy

course, our use of any information we gather will always be consistent with
the policy under which the information was collected, regardless of what
the new policy may be.
