How We Use and How You Can Limit Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising

Data Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to obtain information about our website is used and to analyze visiting patterns. The use of cookies and similar technologies for mobile applications also allows us to recognize your IP address or mobile application identifier, measure activity and usage such as the time and length of your visit, the pages you look at, the site you visited just before coming to ours, and the name of your Internet service provider.

We may engage third parties, such as Google Analytics, to collect activity and usage data. Hayden Homes does not disclose any directly identifying personal information to a third-party data analytics provider. However, the provider may monitor a user’s interactions with our website and combine this data with data from other websites monitored by the same service provider and then use these findings for its own business and commercial purposes. The provider may have means of correlating data from our Website to an identifiable individual, in which case the processing of personal information will be the responsibility of the service provider.

Interest-based Advertising

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may collect information about your visits to our website or model homes in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. We also partner with ad networks and other companies that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated digital properties. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information these ad networks collect about your visits to our Online Services and other non-affiliated websites or apps over time.

You may visit www.aboutads.info/choices to learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of this form of advertising on your web browser by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) self-regulatory program.

You may also be able to limit data collection by using your browser or mobile device settings. Please note that electing to limit interest-based advertising will not stop all advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. Additionally, please note that if you use a different browser or erase cookies from your browser, or use a different device, you may need to renew your setting selections.

Protecting And Retention of Personal Information

Hayden Homes maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of your personal information appropriate for the nature of the information we collect. While the measures we implement are intended to reduce the likelihood of security problems, we cannot guarantee that these measures will prevent unauthorized access to your personal information. Information transmitted over the Internet may find its way to recipients to whom it is not intended or persons you may not want to have such information. Under certain circumstances, this may be beyond the control of Hayden Homes, and you are advised that such transmission may not be secure.

We retain personal information for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or business purposes. In determining retention periods, Hayden Homes takes into consideration warranty periods, other contractual obligations, applicable laws, and what we reasonably believe are your expectations and requirements. For example, if you purchase a home, we will retain your information for as long as you own your home and if required by our contracts and by law. If you submit a request for information about our products or services, we will retain your contact and preferences information and consider our relationship to remain active for marketing purposes after fulfilling any request you submit and until we take note that you no longer show interest in our products or services.
