Privacy Policy
We
respect your privacy!
Protecting your privacy is important to us.
The following statement is provided to help
you understand how Mississauga Appraisal Services
collects, uses and protects the personal information
you provide to us on our website or otherwise.
Commitment to Privacy
Mississauga Appraisal Services maintains a
strict policy of refusing to provide customer
information to any outside companies. We are
committed to maintaining this policy as we
continue to enhance our ability to meet our
customers' service needs. It is our goal to
keep up with current industry initiatives
to preserve individual privacy rights on the
Internet and in all aspects of electronic
commerce or otherwise.
Information Collection
When you browse the Mississauga Appraisal
Services website, you do so anonymously. Personal
information -- including your E-mail address
-- is not collected. Some of our web pages,
however, may request that you voluntarily
supply us with personal information, including
your E-mail address and account number (if
you are a Mississauga Appraisal Services customer),
for purposes such as correspondence, site
registration, or participating in online surveys.
Like many other commercial websites, the Mississauga
Appraisal Services' website may utilize a
standard technology called a "cookie"
to collect information about how our site
is used. No identifiable information is collected
via this.
Information Use
If you provide us with your E-mail address,
or have done so in the past, we may upon occasion
send you E-mail offers. We may use information
you have given us to, for example, ensure
proper billing, measure consumer interest
in our various services, and inform you about
our services. These correspondences may be
based on information you provided in your
initial transaction with us, in surveys, from
information that may indicate preferences,
as well as information we may acquire from
external sources.
All offers are carefully designed to ensure
that they meet our standards. We try to target
offers to people who we believe will find
them of value. We handle the lists used to
send you product and service offers with care
to safeguard the security and privacy of customer
personal information.

Mississauga Appraisal Services provides customers
with an easy way to decline receiving these
E-mail offers. At any time, you may request

Users should be aware that other Internet
sites that may be reached using hyperlinks
from this site may contain different privacy
provisions from those of Mississauga Appraisal
Services. Mississauga Appraisal Services is
not responsible for such provisions, and expressly
disclaims any and all liability related to
such provisions.
