This Privacy Policy demonstrates our commitment to the protection of individual privacy. This Policy describes our practices in dealing with the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information when you visit and obtain information for a purchase of a property from www.paradisedevelopments.com or other sites operated by us (the "Site").
For the purposes of this Policy, “Personal Information” broadly means any information about an identifiable individual. “Non-identifiable Information” means information that cannot be associated with or traced back to specific individuals with any certainty.
We collect Personal Information from individuals on a voluntary basis through a number of ways via digital tracking, registration forms and through property transaction documents, both online and offline. The Personal Information includes contact information (such as, name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number), demographic information, household information, preference information and transaction-related information.) We also collect information when you visit our register pages and email signup forms at the Site.
You have the choice whether you wish to supply Personal Information to us. The decision to withhold Personal Information or to object to the use and/or disclosure of Personal Information as provided in this Policy, may, in certain instances, limit your ability to complete purchases of our properties and to have us provide services to you or limit your ability to access or take advantage of certain promotions and features. You may wish to opt-out of receiving certain informational and promotional materials and features from us. Opt-out opportunities are also provided in other circumstances such as in certain promotional mailings.
Your Personal Information is obtained and used only with your consent that may be expressed or implied depending on the circumstance. If you provide Personal Information of another individual, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority and have obtained all necessary consents from that person to enable us to collect, use and disclose such Personal Information of such individual for the purposes set out in this Policy.
WWhen you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, domain name, time zone, operating systems, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about usage statistics, web browsing, history, the individual web pages or properties and services that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We use cookies to compile aggregate Device Information about the Site traffic and the Site interactions to offer better Site experiences as well as enable social media connectivity through buttons and/or links on the Site to connect to social media networks in various ways.
If you choose, you can provide your mobile phone number to receive text message alerts from our Site to receive property, services and/or event information, tips, promotions or features. You agree that by providing your mobile phone number you expressly consent to receive automated marketing text messages from us to the mobile phone number provided. Message and data rates will apply and you should check the rates of your mobile carrier. You can opt out from further text marketing communications by texting STOP to the SMS number used by our marketing company to contact you. We may share your mobile phone number with service providers with whom we contract to assist us with these activities, but we will not share your mobile phone number with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent. Text messages are distributed via third party mobile network providers and, therefore, we cannot control certain factors relating to message delivery. Depending on your mobile carrier, it may not be possible to transmit the text message to you successfully; nor is all content available on all carriers. We do not warrant or guarantee availability or performance of this service and do not accept liability for transmission delays or message failures.
This Site may use "cookies", a technology that installs information on a website user's computer to permit the Site to recognize future visits using that computer. Cookies enhance the convenience and use of the Site. The use of cookie technology is common in the Internet, and many Internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically.
If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your Internet browser to notify you when your computer is receiving a cookie or to refuse cookies automatically. To readjust your Internet browser's cookie options, please refer to the instruction documentation of your particular browser or seek online assistance.
Like many other websites, the Site may make use of "per session" and "persistent" cookie technology. Per session cookies track information during an open session and are stored only temporarily in your computer's memory. Persistent cookies are deposited on a visitor's computer until they expire or until the visitor deletes the cookies. Information from these cookies help us analyze traffic patterns to the Site, including the total number of visitors, the geographical location of the visitor, and the types of Internet browsers (e.g., Google Chrome or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g., Windows or Macintosh) that the Site's visitors use. We use this information to facilitate and enhance your online visits.
We use your Personal Information that we collect for the following:
As well, we may, from time to time, contact you in electronic format, by regular mail or by telephone for any of the purposes set out above.
We do not sell, rent or trade Personal Information that we collect. We will not knowingly disclose Personal Information to any third parties except in the following circumstances:
We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use MailChimp to power our marketing email system--you can read more about how Mailchimp uses your Personal Information here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how you use the Site--you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
As described above, we use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

We collect and use Non-Identifiable Information, including Device Information, to assess the effectiveness of the Site content and traffic. This allows us to improve the quality of the Site, to develop content for the Site and to improve your ability to navigate the Site. Aggregate Non-identifiable Information is used to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of visitors to the Site, and to measure demographics and interests.
We also disclose aggregate Non-identifiable Information to our current and prospective sponsors and advertisers about the number of visits to the Site, the demographic characteristics of our visitors and the number of views and clicks on their advertisement(s). We also disclose to advertisers the overall demographics available regarding visitors who clicked on their advertisements. Aggregate Non-identifiable Information may be used to describe our properties and services to third parties such as prospective business partners and financial institutions. In any of these circumstances, only Non-identifiable Information in an aggregate form and not Personal Information is disclosed.
Your Non-identifiable Information may be disclosed to others and permanently archived for future use.
In addition, we may use Non-identifiable Information to create aggregate tracking information reports regarding Site user demographics and Site traffic patterns. None of the tracking information in the reports can be connected to the identifies or other Personal Information of individual users. We also may link tracking information with Site user's Personal Information. Once such a link is made, all of the linked information is treated as Personal Information and will be used and disclosed only in accordance with this Policy, and in accordance with the law.
The Site may present links to other websites. You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your Personal Information and information generated through the use of cookies when you link to their websites. We are not responsible for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your Personal Information, so it is important to review their privacy policies before providing them with your Personal Information.
The law requires website and online service operators to disclose whether third parties may collect Personal Information about their users’ online activities over time and across different sites when the users use the operator’s website or service. Third parties that have content or services on the Site such as a social feature, analytics service, or an advertising network partner, may obtain information about your browsing or usage habits but this information does not include Personal Information. We do not knowingly permit such third parties to collect any Personal Information from our Site unless you directly provide it to us and we provide it to them with your consent.
If you have reviews or content on our Site, you may ask us to remove reviews or other content that you posted on the Site by writing to us and providing as much detail as possible (i.e. date and caption) as to the post(s) you want removed.

We have appropriate security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your Personal Information. Any information transmitted via the Internet, however, may be intercepted by third parties. We do not assume any liability for interception, alteration or misuse of information transmitted over the Internet.
Our employees are restricted from using and disclosing Personal Information collected by us other than in accordance with this Statement.
