INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
MAMMOTH LAKES HOUSING, INC.collects information from our website users,
subscribers and customers. In this section of our privacy policy, we
will describe the type of information we collect and how we use it to
provide better services to our customers.
Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us (such as our
feedback forms). Requests for service, support or information may be
forwarded as needed to best respond to a specific request. We may retain
e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative
purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special Offers
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates that contain
important information about our sites and services. For example, we
send new members a welcoming message, and verify password and username
for our password-protected sites. We may also communicate with a user
to provide requested services and for account-related issues via e-mail,
phone or regular mail.
We offer our users the option to receive information about our company,
related products, services and special deals. Users can choose not to
receive these communications, as set forth in our Permission section
below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites have features that automatically collect information from
users, to deliver content specific to users' interests and to honor
their preferences. This information assists us in creating sites that
will serve the needs of our users.
We use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard
drive containing information about the user. Cookies benefit the user
by requiring login only once, thereby saving time while on our site.
If users reject the cookies, they may be limited in the use of some
areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to participate
in sweepstakes, contests or drawings. Additionally, we may note some
of the pages the user visits on our site through the use of pixel tags
(also called clear gifs). The use of cookies and pixels enable us to
track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on our sites.
Some of our business affiliates use cookies on our sites in ads or promotions.
However, we have no access to or control over these business affiliates'
cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for information.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation
history and IP address of all visitors to our site. This information
does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use
this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis
and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base for aggregate use.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber at
registration with site usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate
non-personally identifiable form, about our users and their preferences
in the content of the site and advertising. We may share this composite
information with our advertisers and business affiliates to help them
better understand our services.
CORRECTION/UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our product(s)/service(s), we
provide a way to correct or update that user's personal data. The user
should contact Customer Support for the applicable product or service.
SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal information
and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted
to us online (such as credit card number) is encrypted and is transmitted
to us securely. In addition, access to all of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which
we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
LINKS
Our web sites contain links to other sites. MAMMOTH LAKES HOUSING, INC.
is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and
to read the privacy statements of each web site to which we may link
that may collect personally identifiable information.
NOTIFICATION and CHANGES
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this
page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should
check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
