We may automatically log information, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, date and time of access, and other log file data. This information may be used to analyze trends or administer our websites and mobile applications. We may collect statistical or non-personally-identifiable information about you, such as which pages you visited, how long you stay on a particular page, the website from which you came to our website, or similar information. We also may collect aggregate information such as the total number of unique or return visitors to our website, using our application, or visiting a particular page in a given timeframe. We may use this information to measure the use of our websites and applications and to improve our content. We may use Google Analytics, a third-party provider of analytics tools, or a similar third-party service to analyze information about visits to our websites.

We may utilize “cookies,” web beacons and other similar technologies on our websites. We may use first and/or third-party “browser” or “HTTP” cookies, which are unique text files that may be used for data analysis and enable our websites to tailor information for the visitor. We may use browser cookies for purposes such as to personalize your experience on our website, to remember you when you register for products or services, for fraud prevention, or to track visits to our websites. We also may use “web beacons” (also referred to as pixel tags, clear gifs or other terms) or similar technologies to collect information such as how long you remain on a particular page. Our website does not honor browser “do not track” signals, but if you do not want us to deploy browser cookies to your device when you visit our websites, you may set the browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a website tries to place cookies in the browser program. Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use some of the features offered by our websites. If you use our website without setting your browser to block cookies, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device.
Third parties, including our service providers or marketing partners, may collect information about you as a visitor to our website over time and/or across different websites when you use our website. This information often is aggregate data or individual information that is tied to a browser or device rather than specific identifiers such as your name and address, but some of this information might be considered to be personally identifiable under some federal or state laws.
We collect certain personal information from third-party data sources. Such information includes public record (available from government sources) and publicly-available data. Sources of personal information include major credit bureaus, government and public-record repositories, data aggregators, brokers, and compilers, marketing companies, and public and publicly-available sources. Personal information that we collect includes: names, postal addresses, telephone and mobile phone numbers, age, financial information, property information and email addresses.
We may use some or all of the collected personal information for our business purposes, including verifying your identity, fraud prevention, communicating with you, product development and enhancement, advertising and marketing our products and services, transacting business with you and processing your requests, compliance with law and legal process, and prosecuting and defending legal claims. We provide our products and services to credentialed organizations and professionals in the real estate industry for purposes such as identity verification, identifying and preventing fraud, and managing risk.
In order to conduct our business, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information. We also may share your personal information if we believe that disclosure of the personal information is reasonably necessary to meet applicable law, rule, regulation, court order, legal process or government request, to enforce our customer contracts, including investigation of potential violations, in connection with contractual obligations, to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, and in connection with corporate transactions such as a merger, acquisition, or sale or transfer of assets.
We define children as individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or provide personal information of children.
We maintain an information security program with administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal information. We undergo periodic security audits conducted by third-party data suppliers and engage third-party security experts to conduct reviews and testing of our systems and practices. Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information in transit to this Website or any other FOREWARN website.

If you satisfy the opt-out requirements contained in the FOREWARN Opt-Out Policy and your request is granted, your personal information will be suppressed from FOREWARN products and services.
