Our Commitment to Privacy

We at Title Check LLC (“we”, “us”, and “Title Check”) value your privacy. The operation of our website www.tax-sale.info, associated mobile applications, and other services (“Services”) involves the collection and use of information about you. This Privacy Policy explains the type of information we collect and how we use it, so that you understand your options regarding the collection and use of your information.

Consent to Use Data

By using our Services, you are consenting to our use of your information including content, information, comments, reviews, and other materials (“User Content”) as set forth in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use agreement (“Terms of Use” available here).

Information We Collect

For the effective operation of our Services, we may collect two categories of information: anonymous and personally identifiable. Anonymous information is not connected to a specific individual, and we may collect anonymous information that includes data about your hardware, software, network data, pages visited, and time spent on a page. In addition, we may collect anonymous information that is automatically submitted by your browser. Personally identifiable information specifically identifies a user and may include name, address, phone number, email address, or anything else reasonably required to effectively operate our Services. The primary types of personally identifiable information we collect are as follows:

• User-Provided Information: We collect the information you provide about yourself, such as your name, e-mail address, date of birth, location, or other profile information as well as social media profile information (from Facebook, Twitter or other sites).
• Activity Information: We may collect and store information related to you and your use of the Services such as your browser type, IP address, unique device identifier, phone numbers and names of businesses you contact through the Services, requested URL, referring URL, browser language, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit.
• User Content: Because it is one of the services we provide, we also collect and maintain the User Content that you voluntarily submit to us. You should not submit proprietary or confidential information.
• Geo-location Information: When you use the Services, we may use GPS technology (or other similar technology) to determine your current location.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old. If we become aware that a child under 13 years old has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us by e-mail at legal@title-check.com.

How We Use Collected Information

We may use your anonymous information to bring you the best possible Services, including using this information to improve our Services. We also may use your personally identifiable information to provide and improve upon our Services. For example, we may use your information to:

• Provide, improve, test, and monitor the effectiveness of our Service
• Improve our Services, and test new products and features
• Respond to your inquiries
• Send you electronic messages or updates
• Monitor metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns and generate statistics based on these metrics
• Diagnose or fix technical problems
• Generate user history and data on your participation in activities through our Services
• Categorize the content you submit for purposes of data analytics or natural language processing
• Provide User Content to relevant governmental agencies as necessary to effectuate the sale and transfer of real property offered for auction as part of our Services.
• Provide you with relevant advertisements

By using our Services, you understand and agree that we may use your information for the purposes described above.

Third Parties

We may share your personally identifiable information, including your User Content, with third parties for the purpose of providing our Services to you and improving our Services, such as third parties that provide data analytics, or other trusted services providers who work on our behalf and do not have independent use of the information we disclose to them. If we do this, such third parties’ use of your information is bound by confidentiality obligations. We may share User Content to relevant governmental agencies as necessary to effectuate the sale and transfer of real property offered for auction as part of our Services. User Content such as deed information that is provided to governmental third parties may become matter of public record. We may also share anonymous information with third parties if it is not traceable to you (e.g., in an aggregated format). We do not share your personally identifiable information with other third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use.

Our Services may include links or otherwise allow you to access and submit information to third-party applications or sites. This Privacy Policy applies to our Services only. Any information you submit to linked sites or other applications will be subject to the privacy policies of those sites or applications.

When required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personally identifiable information, we will provide this information. We may also release any type of information to law enforcement agencies or third parties if we feel it is necessary to protect the safety and welfare of individuals or to enforce the rights contained in our Terms of Use Agreement.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving Title Check LLC, we reserve the right to disclose and transfer your personal information to the merging, acquiring, or purchasing party. If such party should plan to materially change this Privacy Policy, we will notify you beforehand.

Opt Out Abilities

Use of your personally identifiable information is necessary to operate our Services. You cannot request that we limit the use of your information, whether anonymous or personally identifiable, if you wish to use our Services. If, however, you cease to use our Services, you may notify us by e-mail at support.desk@tax-sale.info and we will destroy any personally identifiable information we have stored for you other than information pertaining to past purchases of real property you may have made through the use of our Services.

Cookies

Our Services use cookies. Cookies are small data files, typically made up of a string of text and numbers, that assign you a unique identifier. This information enables your computer or mobile device to have a “dialogue” with our Services and permits us to administer our Services more efficiently and to provide a more tailored and user-friendly service to you. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being sent; if you do so, this may limit the functionality we can provide you when you utilize our Services.

Third parties that link to our Services may use cookies or collect other information when you go to their site. We do not control the collection or use of your information by these companies. You should contact these companies directly if you have any questions about their collection or use of information about you.

Security

We aim to protect your information through firewall and password protection systems. Only authorized individuals have access to the personally identifiable information provided by our users. We do not, however, guarantee that unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure will never occur.

International Visitors

Our servers and data centers are located in the United States. If you choose to use the Services from outside the U.S., then you should know that you are transferring your personal information outside of your region and into the U.S. for storage and processing. By providing your personal information to us through your use of the Services, you agree to that transfer, storage, and processing in the U.S. Also, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services. You should know that each region can have its own privacy and data security laws, some of which may be less stringent as compared to those of your own region.
