advanced features of our website, some users will be asked to register and to provide

This Privacy Policy governs our use of the information that you provide directly to us. It
does not govern the manner in which we may use information we have obtained from any
other source, such as information obtained from a public record or from another person or
entity. However, regardless of its original source, NREOB is sensitive to privacy issues in
regards to use of personal information on the internet.
Information We Collect
Users can visit and use some of the features on the NREOB.com website without registering
or providing any personal information. For the purpose of tracking website usage statistics,
our web servers collect only the domain names of users. NREOB uses this information strictly
for our own internal website analytics and not for any other purpose.
Depending upon which type of user you are, the information that we may collect include:
- Information we receive from you on applications, forms and in other communications to us, whether
in writing, in person, by telephone or any other means;
- Information about your transactions with us, our affiliated companies, or others; and
- Information we receive from public records or a consumer reporting agency.
How NREOB Uses and Protects Your Personal Information
We maintain policies, procedures and industry-standard means to protect your personal
information from unauthorized access or use. This includes password protected member
records, firewalls, secure servers and SSL encryption.
Only those NREOB employees and affiliates who need to view your personal information in
order to provide agreed upon services to you or our customers are allowed access to your
personal information. Otherwise we will not disclose your personal information unless you
provide written permission for us to do so. We utilize best efforts and practices to ensure
that your personal information is handled responsibly. Further, from time to time we may
use the personal information we collect to obtain feedback from you regarding NREOB current
and future services and to communicate with you about important changes to our services,
policies and website functionality.
Notwithstanding the above, we may release your personal
information when we deem it is appropriate to comply with the law, or if we
suspect fraudulent activities. We also may disclose your Personal information
when otherwise permitted by applicable privacy laws, for example, when
disclosure is needed to enforce our rights arising out of any agreement,
transaction or relationship with you.

services, such as appraisal companies, home warranty companies and escrow
companies.
We will not release your information except as is
necessary for us to complete the transaction or service you have agreed to, or
as permitted by law. NREOB maintains the right to store your personal
information indefinitely, including the period after which any business
relationship has ceased. Such information may be used for any internal
reporting purposes and analysis.
