Sun Country Homes Inc. Privacy Policy
We at Sun Country Homes Inc. recognize the importance
of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about
our customers and prospective customers (referred to as "Customers," "you" or "your").
This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how
we use it, and how to correct or change it. At Sun Country Homes
Inc. it is our intention to give you an understanding about how
we collect your Information and the use we make of it in the course
of our business.
To that end, Sun Country Homes Inc. gathers two types of information
about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary
registration on our sites; and data Sun Country
Homes Inc. gathers through
aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites.
Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers' needs
better and to help our us understand our audience. Be assured that Sun
Country Homes Inc. will not disclose personal Information to third parties
without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or
disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.
How does Sun Country Homes Inc. collect Information?
Optional registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this
occurs when you register at a site or request information or a service. Usually,
the Sun Country Homes Inc. sites and Sun
Country Homes Inc.'s service partners
use your information to operate the sites and to deliver services. Sun
Country Homes Inc. sites also use your information to inform you about other products
or services available from Sun Country Homes Inc. and its affiliates.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses :
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified
by the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.
Sun Country Homes Inc. and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for
the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information
to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When Customers
request pages from Sun Country Homes Inc.'s and/or its affiliates' sites,
our servers log the Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link
IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a
Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous
to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we
feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use
or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use Of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web
site sends to yours computer for record-keeping purposes, which information
is stored in a file on your computer. Cookies make Web surfing easier
for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information
to facilitate your use of our Web site when you return to the site. Cookies
do not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide
it to us. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll find
that most major Web sites use them.
By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see which
areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to
the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages
viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use
the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our
Customers' needs.
Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete
your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to accept
cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate
when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of Sun
Country Homes Inc. and/or its affiliates' services will not function properly
or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without
cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences, and/or
may have difficulty completing marketing transactions. Sun
Country Homes Inc. and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its cookies. First,
we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. For example, Customers
can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't
have to tell us repeatedly about certain features in the home you are
seeking. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' Web site usage trends
and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers' needs better and
improve areas of Sun Country Homes Inc.'s and/or its affiliates services
that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend
on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling the cookies via
your browser preferences.
Sun Country Homes Inc. and/or its affiliates do not control these cookies.
The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard
in the Internet industry.
With whom does Sun Country Homes Inc. share my Information?
As a general rule Sun Country Homes Inc. will not disclose any specific
personal information that you submit to us about you ("Personal Information")
in a manner that connects you with the Personal Information, except when
we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when
we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances
described below. The following describes some of the ways that your Personal
Information may be disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors: Sun Country Homes
Inc. may disclose some
or all of your Personal Information to business partners or sponsors,
but this use will be specifically described to you prior to data collection
or prior to transferring the data. Many promotions offer opportunities
to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information,
you give Sun Country Homes Inc. permission to transfer your Personal
Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many
instances, only your e-mail address will be shared. If more Personal
Information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior
to the transfer.
Third Party & Aggregate Data: From time to time, you may be offered
the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties.
If you opt to receive information from these third parties, Sun
Country Homes Inc. will (with your permission) share your name and e-mail address
with such third parties. Under confidentiality agreements, Sun
Country Homes Inc. may match Personal Information with third party data. Also, Sun
Country Homes Inc. may keep track of what portions of the Web site
Customers are visiting and other Customer statistics, and aggregate this
information to help us create a better experience for users of our Web
site. This is all done without knowing your name or other Personal Information
in order to describe our viewers and services to prospective partners,
advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other: Sun Country Homes Inc. may also disclose account Information
in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
Information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be violating Sun Country Homes Inc.'s terms of use or
terms of service, or may be causing injury to or interference (either
intentionally or unintentionally) with any of Sun
Country Homes Inc.s
rights or property, other Sun Country Homes Inc. Customers, or anyone
else. Sun Country Homes Inc. may disclose or access account Information
when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative
and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve
our products and services.
How can you control the usage of Information?
In case you change your mind or some Personal Information changes (such
as your Zip Code or e-mail address), we will try to provide a way to
correct, update or remove the Personal Information that you give us.
We also give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct
to you. We offer Customers the opportunity to "opt out" of having Personal
Information shared with parties outside of Sun Country
Homes Inc. and/or
its affiliated companies. If a Customer wishes to update Personal Information
or objects to any usage provided herein for any reason, he/she may e-mail
the requested change to: help@SunCountryHomesInc.com
What happens when you link to a third party site?
You should be aware that when you are on Sun Country
Homes Inc.'s and/or
its affiliates' sites you could hyperlink or be directed to other sites
that are beyond our control and/or outside our service. For example,
if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a SunCountryHomesInc.com
search result, the "click" may transfer you off the SunCountryHomesInc.com
site. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and
partners that may use Sun Country Homes Inc.'s and/or its affiliates'
logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their
own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.
Sun Country Homes Inc. and its affiliates do not control such sites,
and, therefore, are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks
or advertising they choose to place on such sites. Sun
Country Homes Inc.'s and/or its affiliates' inclusion of hyperlinks to these sites
do not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any association
with their operators. Sun Country Homes Inc.'s policy does not extend
to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which
is beyond Sun Country Homes Inc.'s and its affiliates' control.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for
example, via message boards or chat) that information can be collected
and used by people you don't know. While Sun Country
Homes Inc. and its
affiliates strive to protect their Customers' information and privacy,
we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online,
and you disclose such information at your own risk.
Is my Information secure from others using the Sun
Country Homes Inc. site?
The importance of security of all information associated with our Customers
is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission
of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your information, Sun
Country Homes Inc. and its affiliates can't ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services,
and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, Sun
Country Homes Inc. uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality
of your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.

Country Homes Inc. 's Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY, PLEASE
DO NOT USE THIS SITE. Your continued use of Sun
Country Homes Inc.'s
