Note To Parents / Children’s Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information on our Website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Website is targeted to attract anyone under 13. We request that all visitors under 13 to our Website not disclose or provide any personally identifiable information. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete the child’s personally identifiable information from our records.
Other Information We Collect
Log Data: When you visit this Website, our web server automatically collects anonymous information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Website, and which includes the number and frequency of visitors to each web page, the length of their stays and like information, as well as the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting this Website, and IP addresses. We also may determine what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.
IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet. When visitors request pages from this Website, our servers log the visitor’s IP address. We may collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration and to audit the number of visits to different pages on this Website.
Cookies: A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns on the Website or matching the most relevant Web content to your particular needs. We will not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent by us to you in a cookie. You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of this Website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
Web Beacons: While you are on the Website, or while you are otherwise viewing our content, you may encounter Web beacons, which may come from Cornerstone Land Abstract or from third parties, such as content providers. A Web beacon, which is sometimes also called a “Web bug” or “clear gif,” is a small graphic image in a Web page, a Web-based document or an e-mail message, which generally allows the party that set the Web beacon to monitor certain information about the viewer of the Web page, Web-based document or e-mail message, and it may allow access to certain cookies. Web beacons are usually invisible to the user, because they are small. In general, however, any electronic image viewed as part of a Web page, including an advertisement, can act as a Web beacon. Web beacons typically collect the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from, the type of browser requesting the Web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to and the time the Web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can also be linked to personally identifiable information. We may aggregate information we collect through Web beacons. Cornerstone Land Abstract does not have control over Web beacons used by third parties and does not have access to whatever information they may collect.
How Do We Use and Disclose the Information We Collect
We use the personally identifiable information you provide to ascertain whether you are an appropriate user of this Website, to contact you regarding goods and services, and for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection.
We may share non-identifying aggregate information with third parties. However, we will not share your personally identifiable information with outside parties unless you specifically agree to a governing set of rules that allow such disclosure or otherwise give us permission to do so.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We may provide access to your personally identifiable information when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Website, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors of this Website or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that purpose.
In the event Cornerstone Land Abstract goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
We will not share your personally identifiable information in ways unrelated to those described above without providing you with an opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

It may take us up to five (5) business days to process your changes, but we will do so as quickly as we can. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases.
Third Party Content
When you are on the Website, certain content may be created or hosted by a third party. Such third parties may drop cookies and/or use Web beacons, which may be used to identify some of your preferences or to recognize you if you have previously been to their Website or otherwise had contact with them.

However, we make no representation, warranty or guarantee that such information will remain secure and accurate at all times. In addition, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
