2. Privacy Statement. I Buy Houses Fast, Inc. ("I Buy Houses Fast"),
operates this web site. All references to "we", "us",
"this web site" or "this site" shall be construed
to mean I Buy Houses Fast. I Buy Houses Fast understands that visitors
to this web site are concerned about the privacy of information. The following
describes our privacy policy, including our policy regarding information
that we collect through this web site.
3. Passive Information Collection. As you navigate through this site,
certain anonymous information may be passively collected (that is, gathered
without your actively providing the information) using various technologies,
such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection
(log files, server logs, clickstream). For example, as explained in more
detail below, your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site
some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you
just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser
version your computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous
information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web
beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent
or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this site might
not work without cookies.
The following is a listing and a brief explanation of passive information
collection methodologies which we may use from time to time to enhance
the services we offer.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to
your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and
your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are
used to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information
where inappropriate (the site "remembers" previous entries of
age or country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and
blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information
on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise
turn off your computer.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information
that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless
you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer
for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have
previously provided, helping to determine what areas of the site you may
find most valuable, and customizing the site based on your preferences
on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site in your computer
do not hold Personally Identifiable Information (PII). If you have registered
or have otherwise consented to the retention of PII you have provided
to this site, then the contents of cookies may be used to identify you
to this site, so that the site may provide you personalized services.
You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies,
or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each
time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify
your preferences, please search for "cookie" in the "Help"
portion of your browser.
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer
by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is
generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because
in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect
to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer).
The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with a server, report
aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to
use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the site.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs,
invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the
Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related
to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements
that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such
tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is
consulted.
"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream
data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site,
market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.
4. Use and Sharing of Passive Information. This site may use, combine,
and share such passively collected anonymous information to provide better
service to site visitors, customize the site based on your preferences,
compile and analyze statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and
improve the site for your use. We may make full use of all information
acquired through this site that is not personally identifiable information
(PII). WE WILL NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES COMBINE PASSIVELY COLLECTED
INFORMATION WITH YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII).
5. Collection of Personally Identifiable Information ("PII").
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you
or allows us to contact you (which re refer to as "PII"). PII
which we collect may vary depending on the benefits and/or services you
select, and may include one or more of the following categories of information:
name, physical address, an email address, phone number, occupation, account
information, property address and property information.
6. Use And Sharing of PII: General Policy. Except as may be explicitly
approved by you, we will use your PII only for the performance of the
services or transaction for which it was given. Except as may be explicitly
approved by you and as described below, we do not share your PII with
others. WE WILL NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES COMBINE PASSIVELY COLLECTED
INFORMATION WITH YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII).
7. Sharing of PII: Affiliates. Unless prohibited by law, we may use and
share PII within any companies that may legally affiliated with us (such
as, for example, any parent, subsidiary, or brother or sister entity)
for purposes of providing service and account maintenance, to help us
design and improve products and services, and to offer products and services
that may be of interest to you.
8. Sharing of PII: Third-Party Service Providers. We may hire other companies
to provide limited services on our behalf. These third party service providers
may include, for example, companies that (i) host, manage, and service
our web servers, software and systems, (ii) provide business, data processing,
or marketing services, (iii) provide payment processing, fulfillment,
and/or shipping services, and (iv) other new services. We make PII accessible
to such third parties only to the extent required to render their service,
and all such third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality
of PII and are prohibited from using PII for any other purpose.
9. Sharing of PII: Purchase or Sale of Businesses. We continually look
for ways to improve our business. One such way of improving our business
might be to buy or sell a company. If we buy or sell a business, databases
containing PII will likely be transferred as part of the sale. If we buy
a business, we will honor the requests of that business' former customers
regarding their personally identifiable information. If in connection
with a sale there will be material changes to the way personally identifiable
information is being used, affected consumers will be notified via e-mail
and will be given the opportunity to opt-out.
10. Sharing of PII: Legal Process. We reserve the right to share PII
with third parties in response to a subpoena, to prevent fraud, to comply
with an inquiry by a government agency or other regulator, or as necessary
for other legal purposes.
11. Sharing of PII: Companies Offering Promotions, Products, or Services.
In two types of instances, we reserve the right to provide you with the
opportunity to opt-in to receive promotions, products or services from
third party sponsors. First, only with your permission, we will periodically
send to you, via e-mail, offers and promotions from our third party sponsors
which we select. In these instances, we do not share your PII with the
third party sponsors; we do the mailing for them. Additionally, you will
always have the opportunity, with each e-mail, to opt-out of receiving
future offers. Second, in other instances, we provide you with the opportunity
to receive products and services from specifically identified third parties
directly through this site. In these instances, you must explicitly consent
to receive each offer. When you explicitly agree to receive offers from
specific third parties, your PII is shared with the specific third party
to enable them to provide you with the offer you have requested. All information
provided to third parties is governed by the Privacy Policies of these
third parties. We are not responsible for the information collection practices
of these third parties, and you should review the Privacy Policies of
these parties before supplying your PII to them.
12. Sharing of PII: Miscellaneous. We reserve the right to share PII with
the following additional third parties: property information and related
personal information will be shared with the Investor designated for the
location of the property.
13. Transfer of PII Outside Your Country of Residence. PII may be stored
and processed in the United States or in any other country in which we,
or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or agents maintain facilities. By using
this site, you consent to any such transfer of PII outside your country
of residence.
14. ECPA Notice. This web site treats email messages and other communications
through this site as private. Exceptions are those permitted by law, included

of a crime. This site is not considered a "secure communications
medium" under the ECPA.
15. USA Patriot Act Notice. The federal USA Patriot Act ("USA Patriot

20. Secure transmission with Digital ID's. I Buy Houses Fast, Inc. ensures
the security of all protected data transmitted to and from our site through
the use of Digital ID's, in combination with a server-based encryption
technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
To verify that the information you are sending to and receiving from HCJB
World Radio is actually from our web site, I Buy Houses Fast, Inc. utilizes
a
well-known method of electronic identification called a Digital I.D. A
Digital ID is the electronic equivalent of a driver license, passport,
or
business license. It is issued by a trusted third party called a
Certification Authority (or "CA" for short). The CA acts somewhat
like a
Passport Office. It takes steps to establish the identity of the people
or
organizations to whom it issues Digital ID's. Once the CA has established
an
organization's identity, it issues an electronic "certificate"
to the
organization, which is then used to enable secure transmission of
information.
The CA used by I Buy Houses Fast, Inc. is VeriSign Inc., located in Mountain
View,
California. VeriSign's Digital ID and encryption technologies are widely
used throughout the online retailing industry. Examples of companies using
VeriSign are eToys, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon.com, E*TRADE, Internet Shopping
Network, and many others.
VeriSign's Secure Server Digital ID's allow any web server to implement
the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which is the standard technology
for
secure, web-based communications. SSL capability is built into server
hardware, but it requires a Digital ID in order to be functional.
Using our Digital ID and SSL technology, I Buy Houses Fast, Inc. ensures
secure
data transmission over the Internet.
21. Choice/Opt-Out. This site gives users the following options for removing
their information
from our database to not receive future communications or to no longer
receive our service. You can send email to info@ibuyhousesfast.com.
22. Correct/Update. This site gives users the following options for changing
and modifying
information previously provided. You can send email to email info@ibuyhousesfast.com
