Privacy Policy
We want to address any privacy concerns you may have. To that end, we have set forth our privacy policy for handling the information you share with us online.
- Collecting Information
When you visit our Website, we may collect information about you that you voluntarily choose to share with us. This identification information may include your name, your physical address, your e-mail address, your employment information, and other details of your life.
When visiting our Website, you may be directed, through hyperlinks, to other Websites that are beyond our control. Furthermore, when you are visiting our Website, other companies, such as third party advertisers and sponsors, may be gathering information about you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection of information by those other companies and Websites. Although we encourage third parties to provide their own privacy policies, we are not responsible for their activities, such as how they handle the information they collect online.
- Using Information Collected
We use the identification information you voluntarily share with us to do what you have asked of us. We use your identification information to validate your eligibility for programs.
We do not share your information with unaffiliated third parties. We may, however, share your information with our own personnel and our service providers to the extent necessary to fulfill your requests. We may also share your information with our affiliates in order to verify eligibility for housing programs. We reserve the right to disclose your information under limited circumstances, such as to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities as required by law or legal process, to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the public good.
Whenever you are online, you run the risk that the information you give out will fall into the wrong hands. Although we implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to use. We accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third parties.
