Rose & Womble Realty Co. (BROKERAGE) promises to protect
the personal information given to us by visitors to our website and information
included on our electronic mail lists. Any information that you give to Rose & Womble Realty Co.

way to which you have not consented. A more detailed explanation follows.
COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
Much of the general information on the Rose & Womble Realty Co. web site can
be accessed without needing to register or log in – and we therefore collect
no information about you whatsoever when you are accessing these generic areas of
our web site. To search our database of properties for sale you may select one of
three search methods.
Anonymous: You may elect to remain completely anonymous
when you search for properties on the Rose & Womble Realty Co. web site. If you
select this option we do not collect any personal information from you.
MyRW: Users who wish to access
more detailed property information and extended searching features (such as the
ability to save favorite listings, save searches and have new listings e-mailed
to them automatically) may register to create a user account. To create a “MyRW”
account visitors are asked to provide certain contact information.
We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease this personal information to anyone.
NOTE: if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to take
advantage of some of the “MyRW” features. See below for
more details about cookies.
Voluntary E-Mail Lists: Once you have registered to create
a “MyRW” account, you will be invited to sign up to receive
e-mail alerts about properties that match search criteria you establish. We configure
our list server software to refuse to divulge the personal information on our list
to anyone but us. The information is not, for example, available to other subscribers.
Details on how to correct, change or remove subscription information from our email
lists are provided on the “My Account” page after logging in to “MyRW.”
