Privacy Policy

Your right to privacy is very important to us. When you choose to provide us with information about yourself, we recognize that you trust us to act in a responsible manner. It is our belief that this information should only be used to help us provide you with better services and to help you keep your vacation rental property rented out to its maximum capacity. Future modifications to this policy will be posted at this same location. At times our privacy policy might change, but the usage of the information we collect and the policies regarding the sharing of such information will not.

Our objective at New York Rentals By Owner is to be your primary resource of choice listing or locating a vacation rental property. We strive to provide you with the information and services that is most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, we need to collect information to understand what differentiates you from each of our other customers. We collect this information in a few ways.

Registration
First, you may provide us with certain information such as your name, e-mail address, or property postal address when registering for your free membership. When entering this information into our system, we clearly separate which data will be provided to visitors of this website and which data will be kept hidden and used only for internal purposes. We also allow certain fields of information to be left blank if you choose not to furnish it. If you have any questions regarding which information is kept hidden and which information is left visible to the public, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Cookies
We may track your visit to our site by giving you a "cookie" when you enter. A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to store in a Web browser so that it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies allow us to recognize you more quickly; therefore, your time spent on our site can be more personalized and productive. You'll find that cookies are an industry standard and are used at most major Web sites in much the same way we use them here at our Site.

New York Rentals By Owner uses cookies to make visiting our site easier for you. Cookies allow us to save passwords and language selection preferences so that you won't have to keep re-enter this information the next time you visit. Cookies help us to collect anonymous click-stream data for tracking user trends and patterns. The use of cookies is now an industry standard and you'll find them used on most major websites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you when you've received a cookie or to refuse to accept cookies. However, you should understand that areas of this site will not function properly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

If you wish, you can prevent cookie files from using (non-personal) information about you by either deleting the cookie folder in your browser or by putting your browser's Privacy setting higher, but doing so will mean that (a) your use of the Site will be adversely affected (and quite possibly entirely prevented), (b) your experience of this and other sites that use cookies to enhance or personalize your experience will be adversely affected, and (c) you will not be presented with advertising that reflects the way that you use our, and other, sites.
