For example, when you visit mypropertyvalue.com, our systems, or those of our service providers, may automatically recognize the date and time of visits, the type of browser you use, the website from which your visit originated, page visits, time spent on web pages, the subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over and other data that we collect automatically.

Technology is always changing, but we generally acquire Collected Information in the following ways:

To accomplish all this, and also to allow us to offer our customers useful features, we use and allow our third-party advertising companies to use the technologies listed above and other similar technologies (“Tracking Technologies”).

In some cases, we may link the Collected Information we receive through the Tracking Technologies with some of your Personal Information.  You may set your web browser software to reject certain Tracking Technologies. If you do so, certain functionality of the website that you are visiting may be affected.

Business Transition

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies. If a portion or all of Geographic Farming’s assets are sold or transferred to a third-party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.

Behavioral Advertising

We use third-parties (such as network advertisers) to serve advertisements on our Online Services, and we use traffic measurement services to analyze traffic on our Online Services. Network advertisers are third-parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Online Services and other websites you have visited. This practice is sometimes called “behavioral advertising.” Third-party ad serving allows us and third-parties to target advertisements to you for products and services you might be interested in. Our Online Services’ third-party ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may set and access their own cookies and other technologies on your computer.

These third-party cookies and other technologies are set to, among other things:

  • help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in,
  • prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, and
  • help us and third parties understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been delivered to you.

Any images (or any other parts of a web page) served by third-parties in association with third-party cookies may serve as web beacons which enable third-parties to carry out the previously described activities.

Third-party cookies and other third-party technologies are governed by each third-party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.

We use a variety of companies to serve advertisements on our Online Services.

This website provides information about the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), its members, and your choices regarding having information used by NAI companies, including the “opt-out” procedures of NAI members which are located at: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

Please note that if you delete, block, or otherwise restrict cookies, or if you use a different computer or Internet browser, you will need to renew your opt-out choice. Also, if you choose to opt out of having your information used to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests, you will continue to see advertisements on this website, but these advertisements may not be as relevant to you.

How We Secure Personal Information

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to help keep information secure and to help prevent it from becoming disclosed to individuals who are not described in this policy. Even though we follow reasonable procedures to try to protect the information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your information will be secure in all circumstances.
