McWhinney Real Estate Services, Inc. (together with our affiliates, “McWhinney,” “we,” “us”) is sensitive to the confidentiality of your personal information and has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate McWhinney’s commitment to your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to all information you provide to McWhinney, or McWhinney obtains from you, through all McWhinney-owned websites and domains that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”). By using the Site, you consent to and accept this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, do not use the Site.
Information Collection. The Site offers ways for you to communicate with us, and we may directly collect certain personal information from you. To get on our interest list, you will be asked to provide your name and email address, although you may optionally provide additional information, such as your phone number, street address, city, state, builder interests, and moving timelines. You may also choose to sign up for further communications or newsletters from us.
Additionally, as visitors browse the Site, McWhinney collects information about the visit. For example, via web server logs and browser cookie files, McWhinney monitors statistics such as the number of visitors we have to our Site, which pages are visited, the browsers our visitors use, the domains our visitors come from, and mobile device identifiers.
Some pages on the Site use technologies, such as “cookies.” A cookie is a token that a server gives to your browser when you access a website. Cookies are capable of storing many types of data. Cookies help provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. For instance, our server may set a cookie that keeps you from having to enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. With most Internet browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser’s instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions, but note that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the features of the Site. For more information regarding our use of third-party services for tracking and analytics purposes, please see below.
In all cases where we automatically collect information from your use of the Site, if we collect personal information or associate the automatically-collected information with your personal information, we will treat the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
McWhinney’s Use and Disclosure of Information. McWhinney may use your personal information to respond to your queries and to send you e-mail alerts and updates or other marketing information regarding various properties, projects, or opportunities, or related information. McWhinney may also use this information to operate, evaluate, and improve its business and marketing strategies and to analyze the use of its Site.
McWhinney may share your information with McWhinney’s affiliates, third parties that McWhinney believes may provide services of interest to you, and McWhinney’s service provider.
McWhinney may also collect, use, or disclose personal information for purposes that we make known to you at the time of collection (for example, as part of a specific promotion).
Legally Necessary Use or Disclosure. We will also use or disclose your personal information when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation; in response to a law enforcement agency’s request; or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing your personal information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to, or interference with (whether intentionally or unintentionally), our rights or property. This may include protecting against and preventing cybercrime, fraud, unauthorized transactions, claims, and other liabilities and enforcing our Terms of Use.
Merger or Bankruptcy. We also reserve the right to transfer your personal information to a buyer or other transferee in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, sale, or other transfer of some or all of our assets. Should such a sale, merger, or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy.
Security. We have implemented measures intended to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. However, please note that the electronic transmission of information is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard personal information will never be defeated or fail, or that such measures will always be sufficient or effective. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
Third-Party Information. The Site may provide you with links to other web sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that you may provide to third parties, such as through other sites linked to the Site.
