WHAT OUR PRIVACY POLICY COVERS

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information that we obtain in various contexts, including when you communicate with us or access or use our Properties.

We use the term "personal information" – also called "personal data" or "personally identifiable information" in the laws of some jurisdictions – to refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you. Data that has been deidentified or that otherwise cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person is not considered personal information. The precise definition of personal information may vary depending on your place of residence, but we take the same general approach to protecting your privacy, subject to any additional measures that may be required by applicable laws.

The following are the categories and types of personal information that we may collect from or about you, depending on how you interact with the Properties:

We may also use cookies to customize your visit to the Properties and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance the Properties.

One such provider is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyze how users use the Website.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. By using the Website and accepting cookies, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
