3. Information
We Collect and How We Use It
RentersRus.com collects
certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web
Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a.
Web Server Logs.
When
you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site and
analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.

b. Use of Cookies
RentersRus.com
may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed
on your hard disk by a Web page server.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned
to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the
cookie to you.
One of
the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you
time. For example, if you personalize a
web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits.
Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and
eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login
information as well as providing personalized functionality..
RentersRus.com
reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies,
but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there
is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into RentersRus.com
a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have
the ability to accept or decline cookies.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by
changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the
functionality on our Website.
- Personal Information Users
Visitors
to our website can register to purchase services. When you register, we will request some
personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or
facsimile number, account number and other relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will request
financial information. Any financial
information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you
purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also
be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide
assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in
order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will
not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third
parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
§
To
fulfill your service requests for services.
§
To
protect ourselves from liability,
§
To
respond to legal process or comply with law, or
§
In
connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. Use
of Web Beacons or GIF files
RentersRus.com
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also
called single-pixel gifs – that allow RentersRus.com to count users who have
visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. RentersRus.com may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of
these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These Web beacons may be
used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your
computer. This allows the service
provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails
and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in
turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and
emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. RentersRus.com prohibits Web beacons from
being used to collect or access your personal information.
5.
Accessing Web Account Information
We will
provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information
in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information by contacting
us by sending an email to our support attendant –support@rentersrus.com.
8. Changes
to this Statement
RentersRus.com
has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated”
date at the top of this Privacy page. We
encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed
about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes
your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
