We want you, our user, to understand how we collect and use data about your visit to the Websites, specifically the portions of the Websites or Services that require you to register and/or log in to gain access, fill out forms or otherwise provide information about you. You can choose not to provide us with this information, but certain portions of the Websites or certain Services may not be available to you.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy is made part of, and incorporated into, Fenton’s Terms of Use ("Terms") by reference. As described more thoroughly in the Terms, by accessing or using each Website and Service, and, where prompted, clicking "I agree" or "Click to Consent," you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the Terms, including this Privacy Policy, which form an agreement that is effective as if you had signed it.

3. TYPES AND COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

• 3.1 Personally identifiable information.
  • 3.1.1 Personally identifiable information You Provide. In connection with your use of the Services we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information on the Websites, which may include your first and last name, home address, former home addresses, email address, home telephone number, mobile telephone number, employer name, work address, employment history, gender, birth date, age, personal traits and likeness, Social Security number ("SSN"), password, credit or debit card number or other payment method, billing information, preferences for products or services, shopping and entertainment, financial information and other information about you that is not otherwise publicly available. We also might ask you about relevant details about a property that interests you. These details may include whether the location is a business or residence, the location, and the square footage, to give some examples. This information can be gathered when you send us an e-mail or when you complete the specific web page request or registration form. In all such cases you choose whether to provide us with the personally identifiable information, but certain portions of the Websites or certain Services may not be available to you or we may not be able to respond to your inquiry effectively if you do not provide the personally identifiable information requested.
  • 3.1.2 Personally identifiable information Acquired From Third Party Sources. Fenton also may acquire personally identifiable information about you from publicly available sources, social media platforms, third party providers of Services available on the Websites, vendors and other third parties that may share information as permitted in their privacy policies. For example, we may obtain personally identifiable information about you from our third party payment processing providers, currently ClickPay, Entrata and PayLease, in order to process rental and lease payments. In addition, if you register to use certain Services available through the Websites using login credentials from an account you have with a third party, such as a Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo or Google account, you give us express permission to receive data from such third party. Fenton may combine personally identifiable information and other information collected as described above with information available from other sources (such as other platforms, analytics services, offline records or publicly available information). If the combined information, or any other non-personal information that Fenton collects about you, is maintained, used or shared in a manner that associates it with you, your name, contact information (online or offline) or other personal information, we will treat such information as personally identifiable information.
• 3.2 Anonymous Information. We also collect certain anonymous or non-personal data regarding your usage of the Websites. This information does not personally identify users, by itself or in combination with other information. We gather it to improve the performance of the Websites and our Services. The non-personal data we collect can include, but is not limited to, information such as the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol address, the pages you view, and the length of your visit to the Websites, your media access control (MAC) address, the pages you request, type of computer or device you use, the operating system you use (e.g., Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Google Chrome OS, iOS or Android), the type of browser you use (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari), the domain name of the Internet service provider, your activities while visiting or using the Websites or Services and the content you access or view, the time of your visit to or use of the Websites or Services, your general geographic location such as the city from which your computer or device is connecting to the Internet, information regarding the websites you visit prior to and after visiting the Websites or using the Services, information regarding your Internet location when you see Fenton’s ads and whether you click on such ads, information regarding your age, gender and interests with respect to products and services.
• 3.3 Cookies. Cookies are bits of electronic information that can be transferred to your computer or other electronic device to uniquely identify your browser. When you use the Websites and Services, we may place one or more cookies on your computer or other electronic device. We may use cookies to connect your activity on the Websites with other information we store about you in your account profile or your prior interactions on the Websites to, for example, store your preferences. The use of cookies helps us improve the quality of the Websites and Services for you, by identifying information which is most interesting to you, tracking trends, measuring the effectiveness of advertising, or storing information you may want to retrieve on a regular basis, such as your favorite properties. At any time, you may adjust settings on your browser to refuse cookies according to the instructions related to your browser. You may also adjust settings on your mobile device and mobile browser regarding cookies and sharing of certain information, such as your mobile device model or the language your mobile device uses, by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. Please refer to the instructions provided by your mobile service provider or mobile device manufacturer. However, if you choose to disable cookies, many of the Websites and Services will not operate properly
• 3.4 Web Beacons The pages on the Websites may include Web beacons or pixels, which are electronic files to count users who have visited that page, to track activity over time and across different websites, to identify certain cookies on the computer or other electronic device accessing that page, or to collect other related information, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or Internet Protocol address. We may, for example, implement a pixel on the pages of the Websites where you view a certain advertisement so that we can track whether you visit a website associated with that advertisement at a later time.
• 3.5 Third Party Analytics, Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Tracking Tools. We use Google Analytics, which collects information about our users of our Websites and reports usage trends to us, without identifying individual visitors. Google Analytics may collect similar information from you when you are on other websites. To learn more about Google Analytics, including how to opt out of it, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  
  We do not currently use other third party analytics programs or knowingly permit third parties to use cookies, web beacons, or other tracking on or from our Websites.
• 3.6 Do Not Track. California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there currently isn't an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we don't respond to them at this time. We await the result of work by the privacy community and industry to determine when such a response is appropriate and what form it should take.

4. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

• 4.1 Use and Disclosure of Personally identifiable information.
  • 4.1.1 Uses by Fenton. Fenton uses the personally identifiable information you provide and it collects through the Websites in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. If you provide personally identifiable information for a certain reason, we may use it in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email or submit a request through the Websites, we may use the personally identifiable information you provide to answer your question, complete your transaction, evaluate your application or resolve your problem. We use the information collected through the Websites for statistical purposes and for improving the Websites, as well as for our marketing purposes and potentially sending commercial emails to you.  We often engage a third party’s software or services to assist us with these collections and analyses.  As a practical matter, we must release your mailing address to a postal or courier service to deliver information you requested.  We use third parties to assist us with our marketing efforts, including assisting us with sending emails to you.  This may include sending you free electronic newsletters and marketing-related emails for Services described on our Websites.  However, you will have the choice to opt out of receiving newsletters and marketing emails as described below in Section 6, CORRECTING OR REMOVING YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION/OPT OUT.

    • Partners with whom we conduct business: Fenton may give business partners access to personally identifiable information only as necessary to offer products and services with those business partners, and subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy

  • 4.1.3 Marketing Uses by Third parties. We do not disclose personally identifiable information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your prior consent. Fenton works closely with certain businesses to provide you with property information and services. Sometimes these businesses make special offers available to visitors to the Websites. If you request to receive information about these offers, we will share your personally identifiable information with these companies so that they can send you details about their special offers. Each of these companies has its own privacy policies with respect to the collection and use of personally identifiable information and we are not responsible for their use of your information.
  • 4.1.4 Personally Identifiable Information You Disclose. We may collect and use any personally identifiable information you may submit in public areas of the Websites, subject to this Privacy Policy. However, you, not Fenton, are responsible for any personally identifiable information you choose to submit in any public area of the Services or Websites.

Fenton may share or disclose your non-personal information with or to employees and service providers who Fenton reasonably believes need such information to perform the foregoing tasks, Fenton also may use, disclose or share your non-personal information in any other way it desires. If any aggregated non-personal information or de-identified non-personal information becomes identifiable to a person, Fenton will treat such information as personal information. We will ask our contracting parties to agree to keep the aggregated non-personal information and de-identified non-personal information in its aggregated or de-identified form.
