Privacy Policy
We at David Phaff and Associates at RealtyUSA recognize the importance of
protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected
about our customers and prospective customers (referred to as "Customers,"
"you" or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information
we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At David Phaff and Associates
at RealtyUSA, it is our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect
your information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.
To that end, David Phaff and Associates at RealtyUSA gathers two types of information
about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary contact
forms on our site, and data gathered through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying
page views throughout our site. Such information enables us to tailor our content
to fit our clients' needs. We will not disclose personal information to third parties
without your consent, except as may be noted in this privacy policy or disclosed
to you when the information is submitted.
How does David Phaff and Associates at RealtyUSA collect Information?
Optional Contact Forms
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs
when you register at a site or request information or a service. We will use your
information to operate the site and to deliver services. Occasionally, we may also
use your information to inform you about other products or services available from
David Phaff and Associates at RealtyUSA and our associated online partners.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses :
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by
the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up"
Web pages.
David Phaff and Associates at RealtyUSA collects IP addresses for the purposes of
system administration and to audit the use of our site. When visitors request pages
from the David Phaff and Associates at RealtyUSA Web site, our servers log the visitors'
IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable,
which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor will remain
anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a visitor when we
feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or terms of
service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use of Cookies

better tailored to our customers' needs.
