HutHub has
created this privacy policy to demonstrate its
commitment to the privacy of the users of our web sites. HutHub, Inc.
(“HutHub”) is a comprehensive resource for all of
your real estate needs,
whether buying, selling, renting, or improving a home. You do not need

HutHub registered user, nor do you need to be logged in to use HutHub
services
on the web site. However, there are some features that are only
accessible if
you're registered and logged in. Please read the following to learn
more about
its privacy policy, and how we treat personally identifiable
information
collected from our visitors and users.
This privacy
policy covers HutHub’s treatment of personally
identifiable information collected by the web site owned and operated
by
HutHub, Inc.
This privacy
policy does not apply to the practices of

HutHub does
not employ or manage, including any third party content contributors
bound by
contract and any third-party web sites to which the HutHub web site
links.
You can visit
the web site at HutHub.com without revealing
any personal information. However, HutHub needs certain personal
information if
you wish to purchase our products, register for an account, or use
certain
other HutHub services.
Where
required, this information may include your personal
contact information and/or your company contact information. HutHub
will use
this information to reply to your inquiries, to provide you with
requested products
and services, to set up your membership account, and/or contact you
regarding
new products and services.
HutHub allows
users to access services like "Property
Listings/Wanted Ads", "User/Business Profiles" and
"Community Forums", among others. Information collected via these
services
is used to provide the user with useful information.
By accessing
the services of HutHub and voluntarily
providing us with the requested personal information, you consent to
the
collection and use of the information in accordance with this privacy
policy.

Information
Sharing and Disclosure Practices
HutHub
works with third parties to bring you certain content
and services that are part of the "Renter", "Buyers,
“Landlord/Owner" and "Sellers" categories of HutHub real
estate.
"Search” “Renter”,
“Buyers”, “Landlord/Owner” or
“Sellers” are among the
services that are brought to you in conjunction with a third party.
Registration
requires certain personal information, including
your name, email address, telephone number, and zip code be shared with
HutHub,
as well as details about your property profile or specific projects you
are
planning.
HutHub
works with Authorize.net and Google Maps. HutHub uses Authorize.net for
processing payments and setting up the recurring payments.
Authorize.net
collects personal and financial information for purposes of payment
processing.
When a user uses Google Maps, it may collect the user’s
Internet Protocol
(“IP”) address when looking at a map of a listing.
Also, Google Maps might
collect street addresses submitted to retrieve longitudinal and
latitudinal
positions for radius search, but they are not connected to an IP
address or
cookie.
However,
a
user can use the free service (one free profile and one free listing)
to avoid
using the Authorize.net payment gateway. Also, a user can avoid sharing
information with Google Maps by not using the Google Maps.
Information
posted to a public profile may be shared with specific customers of
HutHub
and/or the public at large.
HutHub
uses
an integrated SSL certificate for secure transaction security
procedures to
protect personal information of users.
Collection
and Use of Non-Personal
Information
HutHub
automatically receives and records non-personal
information on our server logs from your browser including your IP
address,
cookie information and the page you requested. HutHub may use this
information
to customize Your on-line experience and to fulfill your requests for
certain
products and services. However, HutHub does not connect this
non-personal data
to any personal information collected from you.
HutHub also
allows third party companies that are presenting
advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their cookies on
your
computer. Again, these cookies are not connected to any personal
information.
Third party cookie usage is subject to their privacy policies of the
individual
advertisers, and HutHub assumes no responsibility or liability for this
usage.
HutHub uses
session cookies, which last until the session
expires, as well as persistent cookies, which are stored in your
brower's cache after the session expires. The members area and other
extended features of the web site are
inaccessible without cookies.
SECURITY
HutHub has
security measures in place to protect and prevent
the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
HutHub
uses SSL certificate procedure to protect personal information of
users. While
"perfect security" does not exist on the Internet, our technical
experts at HutHub work hard to ensure your secure use of our services.
HutHub
is not responsible for any loss or misuse of your information.
Information Collection
HutHub is the
sole owner of the information collected on
this web site. HutHub collects information from users as described
below.
Log Files
Most web
sites use log files. These
typically collect Internet Protocol
addresses, browser type, referrer, Internet service provider,
referring/exit
pages, platform type, monitor size, date/time stamp, and number of
clicks to
analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the
aggregate,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. HutHub uses
log
files and software tools that analyze those log files to gather
information
about web traffic trends, but not individual users.
Registration
In order to
purchase products, access certain services
offered, or become a member of the web site, a user must first complete
a
registration form. During
registration,
a user gives contact information (such as street and email address,
phone
number, etc). Users' financial information is used
<b>only</b> for
billing purposes.
When a user
of this site requests web pages from the site's
server or clicks on banners or other hypertext links, the site will
automatically collect some information or data about the user,
including the
user's IP address and monitor size. The information that is collected
may also
indicate any special preferences or requests of the user, and any other
information and data will be collected by the site and included in its
customer
database.
If a user
sends any personal communication or
correspondence, by any means, to the site, or any of its employees,
agents or
representatives, the site may collect any information regarding that
communication and include that information in its customer database.
If you sign
up for the paid services, your credit card
information is submitted through a secure server by our credit card
processor.
Employees of HutHub are at no time able to see customers' credit card
information. All charges are made by our
credit card payment processor.
All pictures,
graphics, and other contents submitted become the property of HutHub
Information
Sharing

HutHub may
disclose your personal information to third
parties who work on behalf of HutHub to provide products and services
requested
by you. We will share personal information for these purposes only with
third

current
judicial proceeding, when a court order or legal process is served on
us, or to
preserve our legal rights.

outside payment processing companies to bill users
for goods and services. These companies assure HutHub that they do not
retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary
purposes.
Business Transitions

HutHub goes through a business transition, such
as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of
its

Privacy
Statement as a result of a change in ownership or control of users'
personal
information.
