We do not sell your personal data.

In accordance with and as permitted by applicable law and regulations, we will retain your information as long as necessary to operate our business.  We will retain and use your information as required by applicable laws and regulations and View Homes’ detection and prevention of fraud.

8. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use a variety of technical, administrative, and organizational security measures, including without limitation, encryption and authentication tools in certain circumstances, to maintain the safety of your Personal Information.  Despite our efforts, no website, mobile application, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.”  You can help keep your information safe by taking reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

9. CHOICE AND OPT-OUT

We provide you with a choice whether to receive certain e-mails. We provide you the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your Personal Information used for certain purposes.

10. NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Where possible, the View Homes server automatically recognizes each visitor’s IP address. We also collect information about how visitors use the Sites (for example, what pages are viewed). This information allows us to improve the content of the Sites, the Services, and facilitate market research.

11. COOKIES, WEB BEACONS, AND PIXEL TAGS

When you interact with the Sites or use the Services, we try to make that experience simple and meaningful. We use a variety of methods, such as cookies, web beacons and pixel tags to collect information about your use of the Sites or the Services; for example, to record session information, such as items that users viewed, and to save certain information about users of the Sites and others who visit the Sites, in order to facilitate and enhance interaction with the Sites and the Services.

Some advertising and technology partners may also collect Personal Information when you use the Sites or the Services.  These partners have committed to act as service providers on View Homes’ behalf and have committed to only use the Personal Information for View Homes’ purposes as described in this Policy.

A cookie does not collect or keep your name or other Personal Information; however, we may link the information obtained through cookies to other Personal Information to give us a better understanding of your preferences, so that we can provide a more meaningful experience to you on the Sites and with the Services. A number of cookies we use last only for the duration of your web or application session and expire when you close your browser or exit the application.  Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to the Sites or the Services and will last longer.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your access and use of the Sites. For example, we may use cookies or other technologies that: (i) allow you to navigate and use all of the features provided by the Sites; (ii) customize elements of the layout and/or content within the Sites and remember that you have visited us before; (iii) identify the number of unique visitors we receive; (iv) allow us to provide you with a customized experience; and (v) inform us how you use the Sites and the Services (including how long you spend on the Sites or using the Services) and where you have come to the Sites from, so that we can improve the Sites and the Services and learn which functions are most popular with users.  As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.

Most web and mobile devices automatically accept cookies, but, if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. You may consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information.  Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Sites or the Services.

12. OTHER WEBSITES; LINKS

Certain websites of View Homes’ affiliates, promotional partners, advertisers, sponsors, and other third party websites are accessible through the Sites. These third party websites have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. VIEW HOMES IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTIONS OR PRIVACY POLICIES OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES. YOU SHOULD CHECK THE APPLICABLE PRIVACY POLICIES OF THOSE THIRD PARTIES WHEN PROVIDING PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH LINKED WEBSITES.

13. THIRD PARTIES

In addition to the specific third parties noted in this Policy, View Homes may also contract with other third parties to provide various services to View Homes relating to the Sites on an outsourced basis rather than performing the services itself. By visiting the Sites, all visitors consent to View Homes providing both Personal Information and non-Personal Information received from those visitors to these third party providers for the purpose of enabling the third party provider to provide these outsourced services to View Homes. In addition, all visitors consent to the collection, maintenance, and processing of their Personal Information and non-Personal Information by View Homes and these third party providers.

19. REVOCATION OF CONSENT

You also have the right to revoke your given consent regarding the use and sharing of your Personal Information.  It is important to note that in some cases, such request may not be immediately or fully executed because it is possible that we have a legal obligation to keep using your Personal Information.  Also, you must consider that, for certain purposes, the revocation of consent means that we cannot continue providing the Services to you.  You can revoke your consent at any time by contacting us as set forth in Section 21.
