Privacy Notice

Last Modified: 3/30/2016

The site is owned and operated by Terramar Retail Centers (who we refer to, together with our affiliates, as “us,” “we,” “our,” “TRC” or “Terramar,” depending on the context). References in this Privacy Notice to “you” and “your” refer to you as a visitor to and user of the site.

This Privacy Notice explains what information we collect and how we collect it, how we use that information, when we may share it, and what your choices are regarding your personal information. This Privacy Notice applies only to information provided and collected through your use of the site, and does not apply to information that we may collect through other means.

BY USING OR ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO OUR COLLECTION, PROCESSING AND USE OF YOUR INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING TERMS, DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SITE AND DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH ANY INFORMATION THROUGH THE SITE.

1. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT. You can visit the site anonymously to learn about us and our properties. Like many websites, our site automatically collects certain information from visitors to our site, such as your IP address, browser type, domain information, site access time(s), and referring website address(es). None of this information is used to personally identify you.

The site may use “cookies” (small data text files) to collect information. Again, this information will not be used to personally identify you, but cookies may recognize your IP address or device on repeat visits to the site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser’s settings to prevent that or to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your browser. Because each browser is different, you should look at your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to modify these settings. If you do disable cookies this may make your experiences on the site less efficient.

“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII” refers to information that we could use to personally identify you, a specific individual. Different states define Personally Identifiable Information to include different things, but it generally includes information like your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, and social security number. It may also include your IP address if that IP address can be used to identify a particular person, or geo-location information, again if that information can be used to pinpoint a specific party.

We do not collect PII unless you voluntarily provide it to us, such as by using the “Contact Us” or similar features of our website to communicate to us. The only Personally Identifiable Information that we collect is what you voluntarily submit. We use this information only to communicate with you and to respond to your inquiry, to send you information you have requested, and to contact you when reasonably necessary. You are in control over whether you provide us with any PII, or other information that you may consider sensitive or personal, through the site. If you are not comfortable with providing any information, you should not provide it.

2. HOW WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION. We may provide information to our affiliates and to our other trusted service providers who use that information only to conduct business on our behalf. For example, they may handle our data management and email distribution. We provide these service providers only with the information they need to perform their services, and work with them to respect and protect your privacy. We will otherwise share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties only if we have your express consent.

We will release information, including PII, if we believe that such action is appropriate to (a) comply with law, regulations, legal process or governmental request, (b) enforce any terms of use applicable to the site, including potential violations, (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) otherwise protect the rights, property or personal safety of us, our employees, site users or others.

Also, we may share information in connection with, during negotiations of, or as a part of the closing of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, litigation or similar proceeding, in which personal information about the users of our site is among the assets transferred.

We do not sell, rent, or lease any PII that we collect about you through the site to anyone for any purpose, other than as disclosed.

3. DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS. Currently, certain browsers, including Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer, offer a “do not track” (or, “DNT”) option. This option, using a technology known as a DNT header, sends a signal to websites visited by the user about the user’s DNT preference, if any, set on the browser. We do not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals. We cannot make this commitment because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators.

4. THIRD PARTY SERVICES. Some site features may be served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may use cookies, alone or with web beacons or other tracking technology, to collect information about you when you use the site. They may be able to associate the information they collect with your personally identifiable information, or they may collect information, including personally identifiable information, about your online activities over time and across other website and online services. They may use this information to provide you with behavioral advertising or other targeted content. We cannot control any third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

5. CONTACT US. We do not share your PII with third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, if you would like to contact us to request details of our disclosure to third parties for direct marketing purposes, please contact us via the contact forms on this website. You can also reach out to us if you have any questions about any information that you have submitted to us.
