or personally sensitive data through Island Estate public message boards,
this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Island Estate
does not read any of your private online communications.
Island Estate encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites

for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Island Estate

available from Island Estate and its affiliates. Island Estate may also
contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services
or of potential new services that may be offered.
Island Estate does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.
Island Estate may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases,
your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone

may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send
you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All
such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to

the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising
within Island Estate to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested
in a particular subject area.
Island Estate Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice,
only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on Island Estate or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of Island Estate; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect

Use of Cookies
The Island Estate Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a 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. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Island Estate pages, or
register with Island Estate site or services, a cookie helps Island Estate
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same Island Estate Web site, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Island Estate
features that you customized.
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 prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the Island Estate services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Island Estate secures your personal information from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. Island Estate secures the personally identifiable information
you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit
card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use
of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Island Estate will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Island Estate encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how Island Estate is protecting your
information.
