Privacy Policy
On November 1 2009 we changed our privacy policy by including information on the use of Social Media. The changes are in bold below. These changes do not reflect a change in how we treat any personal information that we currently hold or collected under our strongly believes that you have the right to control the use of your personal information, and that your privacy must be respected. We strictly limit the processing of ALL personal information, and work only with other organizations who do the same.
Any Personal information that you provide to Friendly Homes Realty Corp. will be used only for the service you have requested.
Friendly Homes Realty Corp. does not sell, rent or lease personal data. We do not purchase or otherwise obtain data from other sources.
.
In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Office of the Information Commissioner we are not registered on the public register of data controllers as we are a not for profit organisation. Irrespective of this, below we outline in detail our organisational and website information processing practices.
Communications
Emails received through friendlyatlantahomes are reviewed by one agent.
We use a number of email service providers in the United States and the United Kingdom. As a result our emails are susceptible to lawful access in those jurisdictions. We do our utmost to remove emails from the servers as often and as quickly as possible so that legal action would be directed at us instead of our email service providers. We select our service providers on the basis of their privacy awareness, and work with most of our service providers to advise them on privacy protection.
Employee Information
We collect employee information for application purposes. This information includes national insurance numbers, tax codes, and bank account information. We share some of this information with the home owners of the properties you choose.

Website Privacy Policy
.
Our website does not make use of cookies or any user-specific IDs.
The processing of web usage data is kept to a minimum. Our website management software only presents us with aggregate numbers of downloads of each document and does not provide us with access to IP logs. The server logs that we have regular access to only indicate the amount of traffic our site receives, top referring sites, top search strings, client software, top countries, and other summary information as generated by Webalizer Version 2.01, restricted to a period of 12 months.
We use this information to provide an indication of faults and to identify peak usage times so that we can decide when to make major site modifications.
We also use this information to ascertain what material is of use to the general public. At no point do we deduce ‘who’ is downloading material. We only ascertain ‘whether’ and ‘how many’ downloads there are.
Social Media
Privacy International uses social media and social networking services to advance our work. These applications require the use of third party service providers. Notably, we have a Myspace, Facebook Group and a Twitter feed.
The Facebook page is administered by Facebook and is accessible by Facebook users who already have consented to Facebook’s privacy policy. We have worked closely with Facebook to advance their privacy protections for all their users, and we will continue to push for stronger protections. The Group page is managed by PI staff members. We do not store information on our followers nor process any information beyond Facebook.
The Twitter account we use is administered by Twitter, in accordance with Twitter’s Privacy Policy. In November 2009 we integrated our Twitter Account onto our website through the use of a plug-in. This results in our comments, and the comments of others that we redirect, being published temporarily on our website, and links to our feed on Twitter’s site. These posts also include the publishing of links to ‘URL Shortening’ services who convert short URLs into longer URLs that direct users to other websites. There are known security and privacy concerns around the use of these (link off-site), but we ensure that all redirected shortened URLs are first verified by us before being sent to our feed and on to our website. The shortener-service providers may keep track of your IP address and other information, and we continue to seek a more security- and privacy-friendly solution. If you click on a shortened-URL, it will most likely redirect you eventually to a third party site that contains a file or document relating to the Tweet, and the third party site will have its own privacy practices that may include trying to place a cookie and/or web-bug on your computer, collecting your IP address, and other forms of tracking. The Twitter feed may include the usernames of other Twitter users, particularly when we respond to questions and/or ‘retweet’. Apart from this information appearing on our website temporarily, we do not process this information beyond the Twitter-environment.
Finally, we use direct messaging on occasion in both media, where individuals and organisations contact us on Facebook by leaving messages in our Inbox or by sending us Direct Messages on Twitter. We aim to delete these messages as soon as we have responded to the queries. We are also seeking a solution to merge our Facebook and Twitter activities and doing so may involve some integration and sharing of services, but we will endeavour to ensure that the additional processing of personal information is kept to an absolute minimum.
