Introduction

Your privacy is very important to Maronda Homes (together, “Maronda Homes,” “we”, “us”, “our”). We respect the privacy of our visitors, users, customers, and members (also occasionally referred to as “you” or “your“). This privacy policy (and as amended from time to time as posted on our Website at https://www.marondahomes.com/privacy-policy.html (“Privacy Policy“) describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit or use our www.marondahomes.com website (“Website” or “Site“) or use our services (“Services“), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Your Consent

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we treat it. By using our Website or interacting with us through channels where this Privacy Policy is posted, you are agreeing to the collection, use, disclosure, and other processing of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website. Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be your acceptance of those changes, so please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

Any capitalized terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms.

What Information Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personal information. “Personal Information” generally refers to any unencrypted or non-deidentified information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with a particular person. The definition of “Personal Information” may vary depending on the state or country in which you reside, and that state’s or country’s definition will apply to your Personal Information in the context of this Privacy Policy. Please see additional information below on the particular information we may collect.

Personal Information does not include your Personal Information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (collectively, all of the foregoing in this sentence being referred to as “De-Identified Personal Information”).

This Privacy Policy does not cover any Personal Information that is publicly available.

If you are under 16, please do not send any Personal Information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) to us.

In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that user about the request after the fact if we determine in good faith that we are no longer legally prohibited from doing so and that no risk scenarios described in this paragraph apply.

It is likely that the identity and categories of such third parties will change during the life of your account. We require that our third-party service providers only use your Personal Information as necessary to provide the requested services to us and each service provider is subject to a set of terms consistent with the applicable portions of this Privacy Policy.

We cannot make any representations regarding the use or transfer of Transferred Information that we may have in the event of our bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Furthermore, except as required by law, we are not and will not be responsible for any breach of security by any third parties or for any actions of any third parties that receive any of the Transferred Information that is disclosed to us.

Webpage and SMS Chatbot (“Chatbot”)

You are not required to provide any Personal Information when using the Chatbot. All communications you provided on our Chatbot are recorded and stored in compliance with Federal Regulations. Our Chatbot is only used when necessary and reasonable for its implementation. For example, we may use the information to conduct data analysis, identify usage trends, and determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns to evaluate and improve user experience, our Services, and marketing needs. We may utilize customers’ questions made to the Chatbot to analyze statistics, evaluate and improve the use of the Chatbot, but no Personal Information is used for this purpose.

You also may submit information, such as comments, reviews, testimonials, etc., to be published or displayed (“posted“) on public areas of the Website, or transmitted to other users of the Website or third parties (collectively, “Content“). Your Content is posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Website with whom you may choose to share your Content. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your Content will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

Social Media Plugins

We integrate social media application program interfaces or plug-ins from social networks, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and/or possibly other companies, into the Website. In order to register as a user with us, you may have the option to sign in using your Facebook or other social media site login.

For example, when you visit our Website and create an account using your Facebook account login, the plugin creates a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This allows Facebook to receive information about your visit to our Website with your IP address. This allows Facebook to assign your visit to our Website to your user account. Please note that as provider of the Website, we receive no notification about the contents of the transmitted data or their use by Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to assign your visit to our Website to your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.
If you do so, you authorize us to access certain social media account information, such as your public social media profile (consistent with your privacy settings in your social media profile), name, email address, and profile picture. Plug-ins may transfer information about you to the plug-in’s respective platform without action by you. This information may include your platform user identification number, which website you are on, and more. Interacting with a plug-in will transmit information directly to that Plug-in’s social network and that information may be visible by others on that platform. Plug-ins are controlled by the respective platform’s privacy policy, and not by our Privacy Policy. You can find the Privacy Policy for a platform on their website.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies, local storage cookies, web beacons, pixel tracking, GIF and/or IP address. Each of these is discussed below.

How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies (or browser cookies). A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. It may contain certain data, including, but not limited to: the name of the server that has placed it there, an identifier in the form of a unique number, and, an expiration date (some cookies only). Cookies are managed by the web browser on your computer (such as Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome).

Different types of cookies which have different purposes are used on our Website.

Essential Cookies. These cookies are essential to allow you to browse our Website and use its functions. Without them, services such as shopping baskets and electronic invoicing would not be able to work.

Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information on the use of our Website, such as which pages are consulted most often. This information enables us to optimize our Website and simplify browsing. Performance cookies also enable our affiliates and partners to find out whether you have accessed one of our Websites from their site and whether your visit has led to the use or purchase of a product or Service from our Website, including the references for the product or Service purchased. These cookies do not collect any information which could be used to identify you. All the information collected is aggregated, and therefore anonymous.

Functionality Cookies. These cookies enable our Website to remember the choices you have made when browsing. For example, we can store your geographical location in a cookie so that the Website corresponding to your area is shown. We can also remember your preferences, such as the text size, font and other customizable aspects of the Website. Functionality cookies may also be able to keep track of the products or videos consulted to avoid repetition. The information collected by these cookies cannot be used to identify you and cannot monitor your browsing activity on sites which do not belong to us.

We also use cookies to implement tracking technology on our Website. This allows us to display advertising that is tailored to you on our Website which parts of our content interest you the most and which Service categories you request. This tracking uses De-Identified Personal Information data. We will not combine this data with your other Personal Information without your express permission. Some of our contracted vendors and affinity partners are allowed to place cookies on our Website. Those companies may also provide you with the option of preventing the use of cookies in the future. For more information, contact the relevant third-party provider.

At any time, you can prevent the use of cookies in the future. You may activate the appropriate setting in your browser to refuse to accept browser cookies. However, if you do, your experience on our Website may be affected as you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.

Local Storage Cookies. Certain features of our Website may use local stored objects (or Adobe Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on our Website. Local storage cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

Web Beacons. Pages of our Website and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Pixel Tracking. In addition to using Cookies, the Website may employ “pixel tracking,” a common process which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites. Pixel tracking involves the use of pixel tags that are not visible to the user and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics. A “pixel tag” is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites that is used to track an individual user’s activity. We may access these pixel tags to identify activity and interests that may allow us to better match our goods, services, and other offers with your interests and needs. For example, if you visit our Website from an advertisement on another website, the pixel tag will allow the advertiser to track that its advertisement brought you to the Website. If you visit our Website, and we link you to another website, we may also be able to determine that you were sent to and/or transacted with a third-party website. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research.

IP Address. Our servers automatically record certain log file information reported from your browser when you access the Services. These server logs may include information such as which pages of the Service you visited, your internet protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, and other information on how you interact with the Services. These log files are generally deleted periodically.

A third-party cookie is a cookie set by (and on) a domain name that is not the domain name that appears in the browser address bar. It might be set as part of a side resource load (image, JS, iframe, etc., from a different hostname) or an AJAX HTTP request to a third-party server. The information that first-party and third-party cookies collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services (i.e., tracking such activities). They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

How We Respond to Texas Consumer Requests. We are legally required to verify your identity before we can fulfil your or your authorized agent’s request. We reserve the right to decline to consider repeated requests from a consumer in accordance with TDPSA.

We will confirm receipt of your Consumer Request within ten (10) business days and may request additional information necessary to verify your identity and that you are authorized to make the request. We will respond to any verifiable Consumer Request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receiving it, subject to delays and exclusions as permitted by law. If we require more time to respond, we will let you know the reason and the extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we may respond via that account. Otherwise, we will use the email address or U.S. Postal address you provided to us when making the request.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. We will not discriminate against you if you make a request to exercise your TDPSA rights.

Right to Appeal. If we deny your request, you may appeal the decision by contacting us as described in the section “Exercising your TDPSA Rights.” We will review your request and will respond to your request within 60 days from the day we receive the request for appeal, explaining the reason for the decision on appeal. If your request is denied on appeal, you have the right to contact the Texas Attorney General’s Office as explained at its website: www.texasattorneygeneral.gov.

California Residents: Your California Privacy Rights

This section of our Privacy Policy provides additional information for residents of California under the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together, the “CCPA”).

This section applies only to personal information collected by Maronda Homes about California residents and their households, including applicants for positions with Maronda Homes and employees and representatives of companies doing business with Maronda Homes. This Privacy Policy does not apply to our currently employed or former Maronda Homes associates whose personal information is covered in a separate privacy policy.

Categories, Sources, Purposes for Collecting Personal Information. The categories and sources of personal information collected by Maronda Homes in the preceding 12 months are described in the section of our Privacy Policy called “Personal Information We Collect.”

The business or commercial purposes for which we use personal information are described in the section of our Privacy Policy called “How We Use Personal Information.”

The categories of third parties who have access to personal information we collect are identified in the section of our Privacy Policy called “Information Sharing and Disclosure.”

Your Requests under the CCPA. If you are a California resident, you have the right to make requests about your personal information rights as provided in the CCPA (“Consumer Request”) and summarized below.

Request to Opt-Out from Selling or Sharing Personal Information for Targeted Advertising. Maronda Homes does not sell personal information. We only share personal information for targeted advertising purposes if you give your consent (opt-in). For more information about targeted advertising and how to opt-in, see the section “How We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”

Request for Access. You can request to know the following about your personal information we have collected about you:

The categories of your personal information we collected.
The categories of sources from which personal information is collected.
The categories of your personal information we disclosed for a business purpose and the categories of persons to whom such personal information was disclosed for a business purpose.
The categories of personal information we sold or shared for targeted advertising and the categories of persons to whom such personal information was sold or shared for targeted advertising. Please note that Maronda Homes does not sell personal information or share it for purposes of targeted advertising.
Specific pieces of personal information collected about you (except for sensitive personal information which we will describe but not transmit).

Request for Deletion. You may request that we delete personal information which we have about you, subject to a range of exclusions permitted by law. We are not required to delete personal information if it is necessary to complete a transaction, used reasonably for an ongoing business relationship, or used internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) days and follow appropriate procedures to verify the identity and authority of the person submitting the request. If your request to delete information is verified, we will delete (and direct our service providers and contractors to delete) all or part of the requested personal information from our (and their) records, unless an exclusion applies. If we are unable to fulfill all or part of your request, we will let you know why (for example, if we have a permitted reason to retain certain information if the identity of the requesting person cannot be verified). For technical reasons and to maintain anonymous business statistics, we may de-identify (anonymize) personal information rather than erase it completely from our systems. We do not delete or de-identify job applicant information except where required by law.

The process by which we verify and respond to your requests is explained below under “How to Submit and How We Verify a Request.”

How We Verify a Consumer Request. We are legally required to verify your identity before we can fulfil your or your authorized agent’s request. To verify certain requests, we may need to verify your identity by confirming information we have on file for you, including email address, phone number, full name, address and other personal information. If you make a request on behalf of someone else, we will need to verify your authority to make that request. We reserve the right to deny a consumer request if the identity or authority of the requesting party cannot be confirmed. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a Consumer Request related to your personal information. We may require written proof of an agent’s permission to make a request on your behalf, and we may need to verify your identity directly.

Authorized Agent. California consumers may designate an authorized agent to act on their behalf to submit a personal information access request or a request for deletion of personal information. An authorized agent may be a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State. An authorized agent must also submit to us written proof of their authorization to act on the consumer’s behalf.

How We Respond to California Consumer Requests. We will confirm receipt of your Consumer Request within ten (10) business days and may request additional information necessary to verify that you are authorized to make the request. We will respond to any verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receiving it, subject to delays and exclusions as permitted by law. If we require more time to respond, we will let you know the reason and the extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we may respond via that account. Otherwise, we will use the email address or U.S. Postal address you provided to us when making the request.

If we cannot comply with all or part of your request, we will explain the reasons why. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information readily from one entity to another entity. Please note that you may only submit a request to know what personal information we have about you twice within a 12-month period.

Financial Incentive Programs. We may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the California law to encourage consumers to provide personal information. These incentives may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels of products or services if reasonably related to the value of your personal information and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. Maronda Homes does not currently offer financial incentive programs.

California Rights under “Shine the Light” Law. California residents may request a list of the types of customer information we provided to third parties for their direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we have shared such information during the past calendar year. We will provide the information to you free of charge within 30 days of your request. To request that we provide you with such information, please send a written request to marketing@maronda.com . Within thirty (30) days of receiving your request, we will provide you with the information at the address you designate in your request, which may be an email address or physical address.

Security

Please be aware that most information transmitted over the Internet is not secure; thus, we encourage you to exercise caution when browsing the Internet. We cannot guarantee that your use of our Site will be completely safe. We use reasonable means to safeguard Personal Information under our control. A user identification and a password are needed to access certain areas of Maronda Homes’s platforms. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You should maintain good internet security practices. Where you have password-protected access to certain parts of the Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. If your email account or Facebook account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given us those details and/or permitted access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account with us. If you think that any of your accounts have been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by other users. We will never email you to ask for your password or other account login information. If you receive such an email, please send it to us so we can investigate.

Storage of Information

Information we maintain may be stored in the United States. If you live outside of the United States, you understand and agree that we may transfer your Personal Information to the United States. This site is subject to U.S. laws, which may not provide the same level of protections as those in your own country.

Data Retention

The time periods for which we retain your Personal Information depend on the purposes for which we use it. We will keep your Personal Information for as long as your account is active, or as long as you are a registered account holder of our Services or for as long as we have another business purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law, or our records retention policy, reasonably necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes, or to provide you with feedback or information you might request. This period of retention is subject to our review and alteration.

Following termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Website. Following termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your Personal Information and other data, but will maintain it as confidential according to the Terms, this Privacy Policy, and as required by applicable law. We have the right to delete all of your Personal Information and other data after termination of your account without notice to you.

We may retain De-Identified Personal Information for as long as we choose.
