USAGE TRACKING: USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are using the Internet. Web servers, the main computers that serve up web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. As permitted under applicable law, Christopher Todd® Communities collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, gathering and analyzing aggregated information, creating a better experience for users and auditing the use of our sites. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. We will seek to link your IP address when we feel it is necessary to protect our sites and other users from harm and to prevent criminal misconduct. Please see the section on Use of “Cookies.”
USE OF “COOKIES”
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web use easier for you by saving your preferences while you are at our sites. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you will find them at most major websites. By showing how and when users use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to our sites 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 only to provide services better tailored to your needs and for the protection of our websites and users from potential harm. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
We use persistent tracking cookies on our websites which are cookies that stay in your web browser between visits. These cookies can also be used to show us which sites you have visited before entering our sites and which sites you may go to if you leave, especially if you access the registered user parts of our sites by using your social media log-in credentials. We use these to capture analytical information about our visitors that helps us to improve the performance of our website and create a better experience. These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors, to provide content related to a prior visit to our websites, to see how visitors move around the sites and the products and services they are interested in when they are using them, and to see what other types of products and services they may be interested in. This helps us to improve the way our websites work, for example by making sure users are finding what they need easily.
We may also use cookies which allow us or third parties to advertise our products and services on websites that you access after you have visited our sites. You may also see advertisements from us if other websites you visit capture through a cookie that you have been on our sites. These ad preference cookies are often used by search engine sites. Our cookies can be disabled as indicated below. To prevent this advertising, you may also need to review the cookies disabling information on the other sites you visit.
Most browsers are set up to accept cookies. If you want to change your cookie preferences, you can do so through your browser settings or refuse the cookies when you enter any of our websites. You may also limit the information we gain from certain cookies by logging directly into the registered areas of our sites rather than by logging in by using your social media log-in credentials. Please remember that our cookies are often used to give you certain functionality and without them you may not be able to use some of our websites (e.g., save properties from our listings).
You can also remove cookies that have already been set in your browser via your browser settings.

THIRD-PARTY SITE LINKS
You should be aware that when you are on a Christopher Todd® Communities website you could be directed to other third-party sites that are beyond our control, including, without limitation, to the websites of residential communities. There are links to other sites from Christopher Todd® Communities, which take you outside our service. For example, if you “click” on a banner, an advertisement or a search result, the “click” may take you off the Christopher Todd® Communities sites. These other sites may include sites of other advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use their logo with ours as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to visitors to collect data or solicit information. Christopher Todd® Communities does not control these sites and therefore is not responsible for their content. The inclusion of hyperlinks to any other sites by Christopher Todd® Communities does not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites, nor any association with their operators.
Christopher Todd® Communities policies do not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond our control. Remember that whenever you give out Personal Information online, that information may be collected and used by people you do not know.
SECURING INFORMATION
Christopher Todd® Communities takes reasonable technical and organizational measures in accordance with applicable laws to safeguard users’ Personal Information. While Christopher Todd® Communities strives to protect your Personal information and therein your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any Personal Information you disclose online, and you therefore disclose such Personal Information at your own risk.
We limit access to Personal Information to those individuals and organizations who we believe reasonably need to receive such information to provide our services or to do their jobs, and we take the precautions we deem reasonable to protect the security of users’ Personal Information. However, as in many computer systems, internet applications and software programs, unauthorized use, failure of hardware or software, etc. may be injurious to the confidentiality of users’ Personal Information.
Because the security of all Personal Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us, we periodically review and improve our security when new technology becomes available. This includes use of software which encrypts (generally processed at 256 bits) or distorts data submitted to us relating to an online Rental Application or employment application. If users have any questions about security, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Information” section.
EMAIL CONSENT AND OPT-OUT
Your provision of Personal Information through any of our registration forms on our sites constitutes your affirmative consent that we may contact you by email to provide you with information and notices relating to the property where you reside, on various similar services available to you at or through that property and on various other properties that may be available and of interest to you in the future. It also means we may email you regarding updates to this Privacy Policy.
You may choose to opt out of receiving future commercial email messages from us. Each mass commercial email sent by us contains a link with instructions on how to remove yourself from our email list. Please note that if you are a resident of a Christopher Todd® Communities community and you use this site and your community site, you will need to opt-out of your community site separately.

Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country’s level of protection.
