Statement of Privacy
(Last updated: May 2006)
2ndHomes is committed to protecting the privacy
of your personal information on our Web sites and developing technology that gives

This Privacy Statement applies to the network of 2ndHomes Web Sites that
display the 2ndHomes logo and/or trademark. By using 2ndHomes workspace, you consent
to the data practices described in this statement. If you have questions about this
Privacy Statement or the protection of your personal information on 2ndHomes workspace

Collection of your Personal Information
2ndHomes explicitly asks when it needs information that personally
identifies you ("Personal Information") pertinent to the specific product or service
you are choosing to use or subscribe to on the 2ndHomes web sites. This information
can include your e-mail address, name, address, telephone number as applicable.
2ndHomes also may ask for non-personal information or demographic information.
Use of your Personal Information
2ndHomes and our affiliates and service partners
use your personal information to operate the 2ndHomes sites and to provide
the services you have requested. The information is also used to communicate with
you regarding your 2ndHomes accounts by sending out periodic newsletters
that are considered as essential to the operation of the service.
We use your e-mail address as your service username. We chose this since this ensures
that everyone has a unique username and the username is easy to remember. We also
use your e-mail address to respond to incoming service and support requests from
you and to collect customer feedback.
2ndHomes may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of
the law or comply with legal process served on 2ndHomes , 2ndHomes or the site;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of 2ndHomes, the site or the users
of the 2ndHomes site; or, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of 2ndHomes workspace, the site or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
As part of your participation in any of the 2ndHomes services, 2ndHomes workspace
allows you to elect to receive certain account specific information and e-mail from
2ndHomes and its service partners.
Account specific communications include information that is essential for the 2ndHomes
service to operate properly. This includes the initial welcome mail describing features
and guides to a particular service. It also includes any communications describing
any changes or updates to a particular service or billing schedule. Because account
specific communications are essential to providing the customer with the most current
information on 2ndHomes services these types of communications will be sent to all
2ndHomes customers when appropriate. These types of communications are considered an
essential part of the service for which you have signed-up for and you will not
be able to unsubscribe from such mailings.
Please be aware that this Privacy Statement and the choices you make on this site
will not necessarily apply to personal information you may have provided to 2ndHomes
in the context of other, separately operated, 2ndHomes products or services.
