Site use
Richcraft has created and maintains the Web site
for informational, sales and communication
purposes regarding Richcraft's communities,
condominiums, commercial properties, homes,

warranty its accuracy or completeness.
Collection of

Even if you do
nothing during your visit to the Web site other
than browse through the site and read the
information contained on the Web pages,
Richcraft will nevertheless gather certain
information about your visit automatically. This
information does not identify you personally,
but may, for example, reflect how you found or
were directed to or used the Web site. In
addition, you may at your option provide
personal identification or other information
through the Web site (for example, by way of a
request that Richcraft sends you information via
e-mail). It is possible, too, that your realtor
may provide us with personal information
concerning you or the Richcraft communities and
homes in which you are interested.
Richcraft gathers your IP address when you use
any portion of the Web site. Richcraft also
collects the name and URL of the Web site that
you visited immediately preceding your visit to
the Web site. Richcraft uses this information on
an aggregate basis to better understand
Richcraft's prospective customers and
homebuyers, and Richcraft may disclose this
information to business and trade partners on an
aggregate basis. Richcraft also uses "cookies"
to store your preferences in order to make your
use of the Web site more productive. Cookies are
small files created by Web sites that reside on
your computer's hard drive and store information
about your use of a particular Web site.

uses your contact information to respond to your

Third-party Web
sitesThe Richcraft Web site
contains links to other Web sites that are not
maintained or controlled by Richcraft. Richcraft
is not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other Web sites, and you are encouraged to
review their privacy policies. The fact that a
link to a third-party Web site exists on the
Richcraft Web site does not mean that the
third-party site operates under the same or
similar privacy practices as set forth in the
Richcraft privacy policy.

precautionsRichcraft takes
precautions to protect data and information
under its control from misuse, loss or
alteration. Richcraft's security measures
include industry-standard technology and
equipment to help protect your information, and
Richcraft maintains security measures to allow
only the appropriate personnel and contractors
access to your information. Unfortunately, no
system can ensure complete security, and
Richcraft disclaims any liability resulting from
use of the Web site.

decides to use or disclose a user's personally
identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected,
Richcraft will notify affected users beforehand

policy that was in effect when such information
