INTRODUCTION

CAH’s Privacy Commitment. All companies need to share their customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. "Personal information" refers to information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, household, or device, such as information you, or someone on your behalf, provide on our contracts, forms, surveys, applications, or online fields. The types of Personal Information we collect depends on the community you are looking at or live in, how you interact with us (e.g., whether you visit our Sites), or the services you request.

In this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we explain (a) how JHS Builders, LLC and its affiliates, including Christopher Alan Homes, and those without CAH in their name, such as CAH Title (collectively referred to as “CAH,” also “we,” “us,” or “our”) share our customers’ Personal Information, (b) the types of companies with which we share customers’ Personal Information, and (c) whether and how customers can limit this sharing.

CAH respects the privacy of our customers. Protection of your Personal Information is important to us. Please read this Policy carefully to understand what we do.

This Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect the Personal Information that CAH collects generally and through the websites located at christopheralanhomes.com and cah-title.com (the "Sites"). By visiting the Sites, you are acknowledging that you have read, accept, and agree to the terms of this Policy.

NOTICE AT COLLECTION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

In addition to this Privacy Policy, we are providing this state-specific notice to California residents pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”).

We collect and use, and have collected and used, during your relationship with us, including the last twelve (12) months, if applicable, the following categories of Personal Information: (i) identifiers, such as your name, email address, phone number, device identifiers, and online identifier; (ii) geolocation data, such as the location of your device or computer; (iii) professional or employment-related information; (iv) information regarding your interaction with the App, including the date, time, and duration of use; (v) information that may reveal gender, age, or other characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law; and (vi) biometric information, such as your health status.

We collect and use your Personal Information for the following purposes: (i) to operate, provide, troubleshoot, and improve our products and services; (ii) to create your profile and connect you to your organization in the App; (iii) to personalize the content, messages, and App experience we provide to you; (iv) to allow you to log-in on multiple devices and use your organization’s single sign-on capabilities; (v) to deliver notifications, alerts, and other communications to you; (vi) to fulfill contractual obligations with our clients; (vii) to protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety; (viii) to maintain the security and integrity of the App; (ix) to detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our Terms of Use, violations of law, or other misuse of the App; (x) to comply with law enforcement requests and legal or regulatory requirements; and (xi) to support our business operations.

In some cases, we also collect and use Personal Information that qualifies as “Sensitive Personal Information” under the CCPA. Sensitive Personal Information is a subset of Personal Information. We may collect the following categories of Sensitive Personal Information: (i) state identification numbers; (ii) precise geolocation; and (iii) your racial or ethnic origin. We may collect and use Sensitive Personal Information: (i) to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services; (ii) to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality of stored or transmitted Personal Information; (iii) to resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at CAH; and (iv) for short-term, transient use, including, but not limited to, non-personalized advertising shown as part of your current interaction with CAH.

Please note that these are categories of Personal Information as they are set forth under California law. We did not necessarily collect all of the specific pieces of Personal Information listed for any given person.

Although we do not sell your Personal Information, some of our practices within the last 12 months could fall within California’s definition of “sharing.” We or our partners (e.g., Google) may collect identifiers such as your Internet Protocol address, or other online identifier, as well as your internet or other electronic network activity (including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding your interaction with an Internet website, application, or advertisement) to deliver the most relevant advertisements to you. Where we collect this information, we may disclose it to our digital marketing partners for this purpose.

You have the right to opt-out of use of your Personal Information across non-CAH businesses, websites, and applications to target advertisements to you. To do so, click here [input “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link]. Your decision will not alter the number of advertisements you see, only whether those advertisements are tailored to you.

We will not retain your Personal Information for longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose(s) we collected it. How long we retain your Personal Information depends on a number of criteria, including the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, the contractual requirements with our client organizations, and the applicable legal requirements. Once we no longer have a need for your Personal Information, we will securely destroy it in accordance with our standards and applicable laws and regulations.

CAH does not sell or share the Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age, and we do not use or disclose your sensitive Personal Information for any purposes other than those permitted by the CCPA (e.g., as necessary to provide goods or services you’ve requested, legal compliance, etc.).

For more information about your California Privacy Rights, please see below.

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED, USED, AND DISCLOSED WITHIN THE PAST 12 MONTHS

Below you will find a chart that generally describes the categories of Personal Information we have collected, where that information came from, the purpose for the collection of that information, the categories of parties to whom that information was disclosed, and the purpose for that disclosure, all within the past 12 months from the effective date of this notice and as it relates to consumers (e.g., prospective or actual home buyers; real estate, insurance, and loan professionals).

We do not sell your Personal Information as defined by applicable laws.

INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

CAH collects information, such as IP addresses, using technology. Standard features in Internet browser software such as browser cookies, flash cookies, and web beacons (collectively, “Cookies”) allow websites to track certain user activities by assigning each of our visitors a unique number that resides on your computer. CAH uses Cookies to make the Sites more interesting and useful.

CAH’s Cookies are limited to our Sites only. In addition to CAH’s Cookies, various third parties may also place Cookies on your computer's hard drive when you visit our Sites. CAH also uses partners (e.g., Google, Bing, etc) to serve ads to you while you are visiting other websites. These partners may collect information about your visits to our Sites and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Among other Cookies, we use Google Analytics. You can learn more about how those cookies work by visiting “How Google Uses Data When You Use Our Partners' Sites or Apps,” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. CAH does not guarantee and is not responsible for the privacy or security of these other websites and apps, including the accuracy, completeness or reliability of their information.

If you prefer not to have the benefits of Cookies, your internet browser or other third party software on your workstation can be adjusted to treat Cookies in different ways. Depending upon the type of browser you are using, you might be able to configure your browser: (i) to prompt you to accept or reject Cookies on an individual basis; or (ii) to prevent your browser from accepting any Cookies at all. You should refer to the supplier or manufacturer of your web browser for specific details about cookie security. For general information about how to manage Cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ (please note that this website is not connected to us and we are not responsible for its content). Rejecting Cookies might affect your ability to perform certain transactions on our Sites and our ability to recognize your browser from one visit to the next.

CAH does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. Some third party sites, including third-party advertising companies that CAH has a relationship with, however, do keep track of your browsing activities when they deliver content to you, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

HOW TO SUBMIT PRIVACY RIGHT REQUESTS

If you would like to submit a privacy right request, you can email your request to info@ChristopherAlanHomes.com or contact us by phone at 1-239-288-5905.

Following a request regarding your Personal Information, we will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity, including asking you to provide us with information to confirm your identity (e.g., your zip code, email address, phone number, or dates of employment (if applicable)). If you are an agent authorized to make a request on a California resident’s behalf, please indicate that when submitting your request. Agents must generally provide a signed authorization evidencing their authority to act on behalf of another individual.

We will make good faith efforts to evaluate and act on your request, but there may be circumstances in which we do not grant your request. For example, we are not required to delete Personal Information needed (i) to provide a service we are contracted to provide (such as our warranty services), (ii) to detect fraudulent or illegal activity, (iii) for bookkeeping or tax purposes, or (iv) for legal purposes. Also, we are not required to provide access or deletion where your identity could not be verified, where the information would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, like intellectual property rights, or where the information contains legally privileged material. If we determine that your request should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries.

Any requests that can be processed by us will be done so in no more than 45 days from the date we receive your request, unless we notify you that an extension is required. In case of an extended completion period, we will process your request in no more than 90 days from the date of your original request. Consumers are limited to two requests to know or access within a 12-month period.

If you wish to appeal CAH’s decision with respect to a request to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please contact us at info@ChristopherAlanHomes.com.

The Sites are operated, in whole or in part, from the United States. If you are visiting from the European Economic Area or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you may be transferring your Personal Information to the United States, which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU, UK, Canada, or other countries. By using the Sites, regardless of where you live in the world, you consent to have your personal data transferred to, and processed in, the United States and allow us to use and collect your Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.

SECURITY MEASURES TAKEN TO PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain appropriate organizational and technical measures for the protection of the security, the confidentiality, and integrity of Personal Information from unauthorized or unlawful access, accidental loss, destruction, damage, misuse, disclosure and alteration. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal Information. If CAH learns of a security system’s breach, we will comply with all applicable law to notify you about the breach so that you can take protective steps.

INFORMATION SHARING

Sharing of Personal Information between Affiliates. We may disclose the Personal Information we collect from and about you through the Sites within CAH (including our worldwide affiliates and subsidiaries) to fulfill obligations to our clients and operate the Sites consistent with the Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.

Non-Affiliates/Associates/Service Providers/Joint Marketing. We also share Personal Information with our “Associates,” which are third parties that participate in the development or management of a community, or “Service Providers” to perform services or functions on behalf of CAH. Examples of Associates include accountants, attorneys, management companies, and banks. Examples of Service Providers include Information Technology providers, title insurance underwriters, and payment processors. In all instances, the parties described in this paragraph are required to hold the Personal Information we provide to them in confidence and use the Personal Information only to provide the services we have hired them to perform.

We may provide your Personal Information to trusted companies pursuant to a written agreement with them when we jointly market their services to you. One example is when we collaborate with another company to market a mortgage offer to you. The written agreement requires that they use your Personal Information only for the purposes of the joint marketing and that they not disclose it to others.

Marketing. We disclose Personal Information to non-affiliated third parties to perform marketing services or functions on our behalf or measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. They are contractually obligated to hold in confidence the Personal Information we provide to them and use the Personal Information only to provide the services we have hired them to perform for us.

Other Circumstances. We may disclose your Personal Information that you consent to be shared, that you direct us to share, as reasonably necessary based on our relationship, or as required by law. For example, we may disclose your Personal Information in connection with a subpoena or other legal process, in an audit, when we record your mortgage or deed in public records, to professionals involved in a home sale (e.g., real estate agents, closing agents) when you purchase a home from us, or to a bank you request we disclose your Personal Information to. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful; in the interest of national security or law enforcement activities; other health and safety issues; or as reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. We may share information to prevent illegal uses of the Sites or defend ourselves against third-party claims. We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation.
