Privacy Policies

Electronic privacy is a major issue. There is no doubt that every keystroke and connection on the Web can be tracked by someone, somewhere — a reality which flies against the general notion that we are each entitled to some measure of personal space. As Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, the right to be left alone is “the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men.”

The basic privacy policies for this site reflect a reasoned effort to balance user interests with the realities of operating an online area, and include but are not limited to the following considerations:

  • You are welcome to use this site with “cookies” turned off.
  • We do not collect user information entered into calculator forms.
  • This site includes many links. The privacy policies of linked sites may differ from our policies. Online users should ask about privacy policies for each site visited.
  • Advertisers and others may use cookies to track usage and for other purposes. A number of sites offer opportunities for visitors to opt-out of online tracking and information capture systems. We do not know whether opt-out services are or are not universally effective.
  • This site may use search engine, advertising, counter and other services provided by third parties. The privacy policies associated with these services may differ from ours. Generally, but not always, such services use cookies and collect information. The privacy policies of search engine, advertising, counter and other services may differ from the privacy policies of this site.
  • If this site receives e-mail from you, such e-mail becomes our property upon receipt and we reserve the right to retain your e-mail address for use as we wish. That said, in general we will respond to e-mail as and if appropriate or, in some cases, forward such mail to someone we judge better able to provide information and assistance. While Peter G. Miller is a licensed real estate broker, he does not seek or accept referral fees from other brokers for the mere act of forwarding e-mail.
  • Users should review our general notices for important information concerning the use of this site.
  • As always, we reserve the right to change these policies at any time and without notice.
