Privacy Policy

We operate in the United States. Our servers and offices are located in the United States and therefore personal data about you may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States.

We limit our retention of your personal data to the time necessary to fulfill the personal data's original purpose. Your contact details, access data and analytics cookies are kept indefinitely unless you specifically request for their removal. In the event of a removal request, we will only retain the portion of personal data we believe is needed to comply with the law or other regulatory request.

We collect information about you in two ways: directly from your inputs and through automated technologies. When you visit our website, your device's data is automatically logged. This “access data” may include the following information: your device's IP address; your web browser type/version; your operating system (OS); your internet service provider (ISP); dates/times you accessed the website; websites visited by you prior to accessing our website; and websites you accessed from our website.

We use Google Analytics to collect non-personal information about you. Google Analytics creates a usage profile for each visitor who accesses our website in order to optimize the website's user experience. A usage profile assigns you with a pseudonym that analyzes your behavior while on the website. These data are anonymized and are not typically merged with your other Google data. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. You can object to the use of Google Analytics by changing your browser settings or by following the instructions at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our website also collects personal data you voluntarily submit when using features on our website, such as search queries, chat boxes, job applications, information requests, general communications, billing forms, and click data. The personal data we collect may include your contact information (first and last name, email address, mailing address, country of origin, phone number), financial information and any other information you choose to disclose.

There will be times, such as when you self-register or register properties in the website database, when we will need to obtain personally identifiable information from you or about you. Such personally identifiable information may include your name, home address, business address, e-mail address, telephone number, or your rank (if in the Military). The information we receive about you or from you may be used by us and others to help process or complete a transaction related to housing referrals on this website; to comply with any law, regulation, audit or court order; to help improve our website or the products or services we offer; for research; to better understand our customers' needs; to develop new offerings; and to alert you to new products and services in which you may be interested. As a matter of policy, we do not sell, rent or share any of your personal information, including your email address, to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. It is your choice if you want to respond to the advertisements placed in our normal communications.

Under some circumstances we may require financial information, including credit card information to process user initiated credit card transactions for fee related services. All financial transactions are processed via a secure, PCI compliant interface.

We do not collect sensitive data (data pertaining to your race, religious or political affiliation, sexual life or orientation) and discourage you from sharing any sensitive data with us or through our website. We will have no liability whatsoever for sensitive data and this Privacy Policy does not apply to our processing of sensitive data.

This website DOES NOT place persistent cookies on your personal computer. However, we use cookies to remember your preferences and compile statistics about your activity. Cookies are small text files that are saved to your device when visiting a website. Certain cookies are deleted when you log out or end the browser session (“transient cookies” or “session cookies”). Other cookies are saved for a specific period of time (“temporary cookies”) or indefinitely (“persistent cookies”). You can learn more about cookies and how to block cookies here or on your browser's support page (Internet Explorer; Firefox; Google Chrome; Safari).

In general, our use of cookies is limited to remembering that you visited our website and the choices you made while using on the website, such as the length of your web session and the location from which you access the website.

The following cookies must remain active in order to use the full extent of the Services:

• cookies that are used to identify or authenticate the user;
• cookies used to temporarily store user input (e.g. the content of a shopping cart or online form);
• cookies used to temporarily store marketing campaign information;
• cookies used to store user preferences (e.g. search or language settings);
• cookies that store data to enable the trouble-free rendering of video or audio content; and
• analytics cookies used to record the usage behavior of our users and evaluate it in the form of statistics (e.g. advertising banners clicked, sub-pages visited, search queries conducted).

For marketing communications, you can revoke consent at any time using the “unsubscribe” directions at the bottom of those communications, or from your My Account tab, if applicable.

We use your personal data for general marketing and business purposes. These may include:

• activating, administering, maintaining and troubleshooting our services and website
• processing and fulfilling requests, orders, and other transactions
• providing technical support
• sending marketing communications and newsletters, including contests or surveys

You may elect to disable cookies on our website, however, choosing to do so may limit some features and your user experience.

We will not sell, market, rent, or otherwise distribute your personal data in ways not contemplated by this Privacy Policy. We may provide your personal information (i) if we are compelled to do so by law; (ii) with our subsidiaries and affiliates; (iii) to receive third party services (data centers, mailing services, and web tracking); or (iv) in the event of a merger or transfer of all business assets. We maintain strict internal policies that limit when and how we disclose personal data to third parties and will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any third party accessing and/or storing your personal data complies with this Privacy Policy.

AHRN.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights, to help protect users from illegal activities. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email address, User ID history, fraud complaints, and listing history without a subpoena. Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to: prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss; or report suspected illegal activity.

Our website integrates external services and links from other third-parties (e.g.: facebook, twitter, youtube). By using the features and links of a third-party service provider, your communication data are sent to the third-party service provider website. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, third-party cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies located on third party websites.

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users' needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users' experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don't like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users' behavior and their devices. This includes a device's IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.

For further details, please see the 'about Hotjar' section of Hotjar's support site.

We partner with ad exchanges, web analytics vendors, social networking platforms and other third parties to advertise on third-party sites. We allow our partners to use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other like technologies to target advertisements based on your browsing activities. The data collected from our site by our partners only includes your device's number ID. Please note, however, that our partners may use your device's number ID to track other personal data collected about you from other sites and/or other devices you may use to target tailored advertising across all of your devices. You can opt out of interest-based advertising by following the instructions at http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.eu if you are a resident of the European Union.

We do not use any fully automated decision-making processes for any of the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and we do not profile you based on the personal data we collect. However, we may implement behavioral tracking in the future, without further notice, to improve user experience.

Some browsers have a ”do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser ”do not track” signals, but we do provide you the option to opt out of interest-based advertising. Options you select are browser- and device-specific.
