It is our goal to collect, use, maintain, protect and disclose personal information in a responsible manner, whether we do so in the context of interacting with visitors to our website www.carrprop.com, developing business, providing services and products, managing our employees, vendors and contractors, or processing applications to join our team (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our data practices. Our Privacy Policy, applicable law, and our terms of use and other agreements with you, together govern our relationship as it relates to your personal information. Our collection, use, maintenance, protection and disclosure of personal information will vary based on our relationship or interaction with you.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to be informed regarding how we are using and protecting your personal information and to be aware of any policy changes. Your continued relationship with us after the posting or notice of any amended Privacy Policy or privacy notices shall constitute your agreement to be bound by any such changes. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will take effect immediately after being posted or otherwise provided by us. Each version of this Privacy Policy will be identified by its effective date.

CATEGORIES AND SOURCES OF INFORMATION

We collect, use and share personal information from various sources to perform the Services and to accomplish our business and commercial purposes and objectives. You supply most of the personal information in our possession, whether directly when you or your authorized agent provide the information to us so that we can provide Services, or indirectly from the collection or generation of information in the course of our provision of Services. Should you choose not to provide some of the personal information we request, we may be unable to provide you with one or more of the Services.

Online Users. If you use our Website or applications (e.g., the Carr Experience), you may provide contact and other information to enable us to furnish you with Services and information. You also may provide contact and other information when using email outside of our website. In addition, your browser will provide other information automatically, as described further below:

As further discussed below, similar to other Internet services, the Website uses “cookies,” small pieces of computer code that enable our Internet servers to recognize a user each time they initiate a session on our Website.

Along with cookies, pages of the Website and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to monitor the uses of those pages or messages. A web beacon can collect information such as the IP address of the device or the type of browser that downloaded such page, the URL of such page, the time such page was viewed, and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server.

Anonymized or Aggregated Information. We record certain anonymized or aggregated information about your use or evaluation of our website. Anonymized or aggregated information is used for a variety of functions, including the measurement of interest in and use of various portions or features of the Website or Services. Anonymized or aggregated information is not personal information, and we may use such information in a number of ways, including internal analysis and research. We may share this information with third-parties for our purposes in an anonymized or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you.

YOUR CHOICES ABOUT PERSONAL INFORMATION

General. You have certain choices about the use and disclosures of your personal information, as set out in this Privacy Policy. You may decline to provide personal information to us. Declining to provide your personal information may mean that we will be unable to provide certain Services to you (e.g., Website features that require personal information) or to hire you to join our team.

Do Not Track. Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, our Website does not respond to browser “do not track” signals, but we do provide you the option to opt out of interest-based advertising (“IBA”). To learn more or to opt-out of this type of advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative website and the Digital Advertising Alliance website. Options you select are browser- and device-specific.

DATA SECURITY

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no Internet, electronic operating system or data security system is ever completely secure or error free. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of any information, including information you transmit to us through the Website or provide online. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures. For instance, it is possible that unauthorized “hackers” may post or transmit offensive or obscene materials on the Website and that you may be involuntarily exposed to such materials. It also may be possible for other users or “hackers” to improperly gain access to personal information. By using the Services, you assume the risk of such occurrences. We request that you do not send, and we will not be liable for your sending, sensitive or confidential information electronically. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

We do not control linked third-party websites, applications, services or practices, which may differ from those set out in this Privacy Policy. You access these third-party links at your own risk, and any information you provide to linked third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy. These third parties, their websites and apps may have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review before providing information on or through them. If you have any questions relating to a link or advertisement, contact the responsible third party directly. Inclusion of links to a third party or third-party content is not an endorsement of such third parties or third-party content, and we hereby disclaim all liability related thereto
