Personal information does not include information that has been de-identified or aggregated such that you can no longer be identified.

The types of information we collect depends on your level of engagement with the Services. The more you interact with the Services, the more information we need to provide the Services. This Section explains how we collect and use personal information based on your level of engagement with the Services.

  1. All Users of the The Almaden Condos Sites and Applications

From registered and unregistered users of the Sites, we automatically receive and record information whenever you interact with the Sites. This includes IP address data from our server logs, cookie information, browser information, information about your activity while on the Sites (such as the pages you request, properties that you view or save, and property that you claim), and the URL of the site you came to the Sites from. We also may collect the mobile device ID (such as the ID for Advertising on iOS and Android ID on Android) from users of the The Almaden Condos Applications. If permitted by the settings on your device and/or with your consent, we will also collect your geo-location information. We use this to provide you with location-specific information, such as homes for sale near your current location as determined by your geolocation, and information about listing your home for sale based on your geolocation. We may also approximate your location based on your IP address, to customize your experience on our Sites.

We may also use the information listed above to help diagnose problems and performance with the Services, analyze trends, customize your experience, and administer the Services. We may provide IP addresses to third-parties to help us analyze website user survey data. We may also use the information described in this section to better target information about The Almaden Condos’s Sites and Services, for example, by displaying more accurate or relevant information on our Sites, matching you to a public record listing of a property, tailoring the advertising we display on third party websites and platforms, and sending better targeted and tailored messages, including via email and/or push notifications.

  1. Registered Users of the The Almaden Condos Sites and Applications

We are required to collect certain information, including your name and email address, as a condition of our licenses with the multiple real estate listing services (the “MLSs“) in order to allow you to access the full MLS listings. You give us this information when you create your The Almaden Condos account. When you give us this information at one of our events, or upon your request, we will create a The Almaden Condos account for you, and you agree that this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use apply. In addition, when you are signed into your The Almaden Condos account and using The Almaden Condos through Facebook, Twitter, or any other third-party authorization service, we may make use of the information that they provide us to further customize your The Almaden Condos experience. We may share Personal Information with such third parties to deliver The Almaden Condos tailored content both on our Services and on third party sites (e.g., social media sites).

  • My The Almaden Condos: My The Almaden Condos is a feature that allows you to upload notes and photos about a property, save searches, add favorites and x-outs, and otherwise organize homes that may interest you. We save all of this “My The Almaden Condos” information for use later in connection with our Services. It is stored with your The Almaden Condos account information.

We may ask for similar information when you request or attend a home buying or selling class, or when you request or attend a strategy session or similar in-person meeting with a The Almaden Condos agent. We may also ask some questions so that our agent can verify your identity, and such information will be used to register you for a The Almaden Condos account.

This information can include, without limitation, your name, address, phone number, email address, financial or payment information, including without limitation, buyer loan pre-approval documentation and seller property information. We ask you, as a buyer, for loan pre-approvals from a mortgage broker or lender to determine which homes are in your price range and to help you make an offer more quickly when you do find a home. You, as a seller, may be legally required to disclose certain information about your property to prospective buyers.

Partner Agents have contracted with us to provide The Almaden Condos-quality service to a wider range of customers. We’ll refer you to a Partner Agent at our discretion.

Sales and Sharing of Personal Information

The CCPA defines “sale” broadly as “disclosing or making available Personal Information to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration,” and “sharing” as “disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.” While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary consideration, we may be considered to be “selling” or “sharing” certain categories of Personal Information to third parties through our use of ad companies, analytics providers, and social networks (through third party tags on our Sites) to improve and measure our ad campaigns and reach users with more relevant ads and content.

The categories of Personal Information that we may have “sold” or “shared” in the prior twelve (12) months include:

  • identifiers;
  • internet or other electronic network activity information;
  • geolocation information; and
  • inferences.

The categories of third parties under the CCPA to whom we have disclosed this information are:

  • data analytics providers;
  • advertising networks; and
  • social networks.

We do not sell or share Personal Information about individuals we know are under age sixteen (16).

Your CCPA Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights. Subject to certain exceptions, consumers have the right to make the following requests:

Right to Know/Access. You have the right to request (up to twice per year subject to certain exemptions), free of charge, that we disclose information about our collection and use of your Personal Information, including:

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you;
  • The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected;
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we disclose Personal Information; and
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected.

Right to Correct. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information.

Right to Delete. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information. Once we receive and confirm your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

Right to Opt-Out of Sales and Sharing. To exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information, please visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page here.

You also have the right to opt-out of “sales” and “sharing” of your Personal Information through the use of an opt-out preference signal. If our Site detects that your browser or device is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as the “global privacy control”—or GPC— signal, we will opt that browser or device out of cookies on our Site that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information. If you come to our Site from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt-out, or use an opt-out preference signal, for that browser and/or device as well.

Please note that, if you have entered your email address on our site, to fully opt-out of “sales” and “sharing” of Personal Information you will also need to use the LiveRamp opt-out tool by clicking here.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure. We do not engage in uses or disclosures of “sensitive personal information” that would trigger the Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information under the CCPA.

Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you in terms of price or service level for exercising any of the rights described in this section.

Exercising Your CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your CCPA rights, you may do so via any of the methods described below:

  • Emailing us at privacy@almadencodos.com
  • Calling us at 1-925-382-3682
  • Filling out our webform.

Authorized Agent. You may designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization in their first communication with us, and we may also require that you directly verify your identity and the authority of your authorized agent.

Businesses operating as an authorized agent on behalf of a California resident must provide both of the following:

  • (1) Certificate of good standing with its state of organization; and
  • (2) A written authorization document, signed by the California resident, containing the California resident’s name, address, telephone number, and valid email address, and expressly authorizing the business to act on behalf of the California resident.

Individuals operating as an authorized agent on behalf of a California resident must provide either of the following:

  • (1) A notarized power of attorney signed and dated by the California resident naming the authorized agent as the California resident’s representative; or
  • (2) A written authorization document, signed by the California resident, containing the California resident’s name, address, telephone number, and valid email address, and expressly authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the California resident.

We reserve the right to reject (1) authorized agents who have not fulfilled the above requirements, or (2) automated CCPA requests where we have reason to believe the security of the requestor’s personal information may be at risk.

Verification. Before responding to your request, we must first verify your identity using the Personal Information you recently provided to us. You must provide us with your full name, email address you used to contact us, and your address (if applicable). We will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request more information to verify your identity or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for denial.

California “Shine the Light” Disclosure

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Sites and Services who are California residents to request, once per calendar year, certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information (if any) to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us using the contact information provided below. Please include in your request a current California address and your attestation that you are a California resident.
