Your
privacy is our priority at Williams Homes ("WHI").
"WHI" recognizes and respects the privacy
of users of its Website.
Use
of personal information
In
the event that you choose to provide "WHI"
with detailed personal information about yourself
and/or your family, "WHI" will act in a
responsible manner with respect to that information.
We use your personal information to verify your identity,
provide you with quality customer service and evaluate
your requests. We also use personally identifiable
information to respond to your requests and to provide
you with information about our products or services.
Personally
identifiable information about you may be used to
improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to
statistically analyze usage of the Site, to improve
our Website content and to customize our Website's
content and layout. We believe these uses allow us
to improve our Website and better tailor it to meet
our users' needs. We may use your email address and,
in certain situations, your mailing address or phone
number, to contact you regarding administrative notices
from time to time. We also use your personal information
to contact you about offers we believe will be of
value to you.
Types of Personal Information
"WHI"
may gather information about users of its Website
when it aggregates information obtained through tracking
the usage of certain features available on the Website
or when you voluntarily submit data to us through
the Website. Even if you do nothing during your visit
to the Website other than browse through the site
and read the information contained on the web pages,
"WHI" may nevertheless gather certain information
about your visit automatically. This information does
not identify you personally, but may, for example,
reflect how you found or were directed to or used
the Website. In addition, you may at your option provide
personal identification or other information through
the Website (for example, by way of a request from
you that "WHI" send you information via
e-mail or regular mail).
"WHI"
may gather your IP address when you use any portion
of the Website. "WHI" also may collect the
name and URL of the website that you visited immediately
preceding your visit to the Website. "WHI"
uses this information on an aggregate basis to better
understand "WHI"'s prospective customers
and homebuyers, and "WHI" may disclose this
information to business and trade partners on an aggregate
basis. "WHI" may also use "cookies"
to store your preferences in order to make your use
of the Website more productive. Cookies are small
files created by web sites that reside on your computer's
hard drive and store information about your use of
a particular website.
Requests for Mortgage Information
"WHI"
may make available means for you to request information
regarding the availability of home mortgage programs
offered by "WHI" financial services partners
through "links" to their Web sites. "WHI"
will not use or disclose the information you submit
through its Website in connection with a request for
mortgage information to any party other than its financial
services partners. By submitting personally identifiable
information in connection with a request for mortgage
information, you are consenting to the disclosure
of such information to our financial services partners.
Sharing
of personal information with third parties
Individuals
or companies outside of "WHI", such as our
financial service partners, are considered third parties.
We do not sell customer or former customer lists or
personal information to list brokers, marketing firms
or to other third parties. "WHI" will not
knowingly share information provided by you with anyone
other than its subsidiaries, affiliates and financial
services partners except as required or permitted
by applicable law, unless you give it express consent
to do so. If you ask for information about the products
and services offered by a third party, "WHI"
may share your request with those parties. Your contact
information may be available or provided to third-party
service providers and contractors of "WHI"
(such as its Website developer) that are contractually
obligated to protect your information as disclosed
in this Privacy Policy.
While
"WHI" will require such third parties to
agree to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy,
"WHI" will not be held responsible for any
failure of such third parties to abide by such privacy
obligations.
We
also share personal information as legally required.
We may share personal information with law enforcement
agencies or other third parties to prevent or investigate
suspected fraudulent activities.
Please
be aware that no data transmission over the Internet
can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent secure.
Accordingly, users should note that while it is our
intent to hold private the information you transmit
via our Website or by way of an Internet electronic
mail system or service, "WHI" cannot promise
or ensure that such information will remain confidential
or secure.
Third-party Websites
Our
policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we may collect from you. The "WHI" Website
contains links to other websites that are not maintained
or controlled by "WHI". "WHI"
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other websites, and you are encouraged to review their
privacy policies before you disclose your personal
information to third parties.. The fact that a link
to a third-party website exists on the "WHI"
Website does not mean that the third-party site operates
under the same or similar privacy practices as set
forth in the "WHI" Privacy Policy.
