Champion's Privacy Policy
Champion
Homebuilders of Arizona takes your privacy seriously. The following Privacy
Policy has been adopted by Champion to provide you with the best possible
online experience. We want you to know (i) what information we gather on our
web sites, how we use it, and who we share it with, (ii) how we safeguard your
information, and (iii) how you can control its use.
I. Collecting Information. We collect information on our web sites in a
variety of ways, depending upon how you use our sites. We collect information
that you voluntarily submit to us, and we also gather information anonymously
to help us better understand how our sites are being used and how we can better
server our customers (including information provided through the use of
"cookies"). In addition, "third party" web sites that you can link to from our
web site may also collect and use your information. We use this information in
a variety of different ways, including:
A. Cookies. Cookies are small files that can store data on your
computer. The data can include your computer’s Internet Protocol address,
information about how you use our site, and information about your preferences
and past selections. Champion sets and accesses cookies on your computer. We
use this information to (i) keep track of your information for your own
convenience, (ii) help us optimize your online experience, and (iii) help us
understand how you use our web pages. If you link to third parties from our web
pages, those third parties may use their own cookies and that use is not
covered by the Privacy Policy.
B. Requesting Information from a Retailer. When you request information
from one of our retailers, we send your information (name, address, phone
numbers, e-mail address, messages, etc.) to the retailer you selected. We may
also use that information ourselves to better serve your needs, and we may
provide it anonymously and in the aggregate to advertisers or other interested
parties. Some of our retailers are Champion owned, but most are independently
owned. If you request information from an independently owned retailer, control
over your information will be passed to that retailer. In an effort to protect
you and your information from improper use or disclosure, we have implemented a
Retailer Privacy Policy that governs the use of your information by our
retailers and prohibits the improper or unauthorized use of that information.
Notwithstanding that, use of your information by these independent owned
retailers is out of our control, outside the coverage of this Privacy Policy,
and Champion shall not be responsible for the actions of its independently
owned retailers. If you feel that one of our retailers is improperly using your
information, please contact us immediately at
privacymanager@championhomes.net.
C. Search Criteria; Polling. You may wish to enter search criteria when
looking for homes, retailers, developers or during other searches on our web
site. We may store the search criteria you enter in cookies on your computer,
or we may anonymously aggregate and compile this information on our own system
for our own use. You may also respond to polls that we conduct on our web
pages, and we may store those responses anonymously for our use or "tag" you
computer so that you can only vote once on a particular question.
D. Automatically Collected Data. Some information about you may be
automatically gathered and stored on our system whenever you visit our web
sites, including your Internet Protocol address, the kind of internet browser
you use, and how you use our site. We may also use this information to measure
and report the number of "hits" on our web pages and report this information
publicly or privately (without identifying any specific users). We also track
traffic patterns throughout our web sites.
E. Links to Other Web Sites. Our web sites contain links to other "third
party" web sites that are not owned by Champion. Please be aware that those
sites may collect information about you, that the collection and use of that
information by those "third party" web sites is outside Champion’s control and
outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, and that you should consult the
privacy policy or similar policy of those web sites before supplying them any
of your private information. Champion is not responsible for the privacy
policies of these "third party" web sites. If you have any problems with the
privacy policies of any "third party" web sites that are linked from our web
site, please let us know by e-mailing us at
privacymanager@championhomes.net. Our web sites also contain links to
web pages maintained and operated by our independently (non-Champion) owned
retailers. Although some of these web pages are hosted by Champion, Champion is
not responsible for the content of these pages. If you have any problems with
the web pages of our independently owned retailers, please let us know by
e-mailing us at privacymanager@championhomes.net.
II. Safeguarding Your Information. When we collect your information and
store it on our servers, we use the same care with that information that we use
with our own sensitive data. To ensure security, we do not request
super-sensitive information from you like credit card numbers or social
security numbers. While we strive to protect your personal information and keep
it confidential, Champion cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us. We will not disclose your personal information
to any outside organizations for their use in marketing without your consent.
When you request that we send your personal information to one of our
independently owned retailer, we have enacted a Retailer Privacy Policy to
protect your information. Champion does not seek to collect personal
information from children through our web site, and we will delete any such
information if we become aware of it. Please be aware that under certain
limited circumstances we may be legally compelled to disclose your information
to other parties by court order or otherwise.
III. How You Can Control the Use of Your Information. When using the
Internet, always use common sense when you disclose your personal information.
If you are concerned about how we collect or use certain information, you may
elect not to participate in certain services or features offered by our web
sites.
A. Disabling Cookies. If you are concerned about cookies that are sent
between our computers and yours, you can disable this feature on your Internet
browser by either (i) rejecting them automatically, or (ii) having your
computer prompt you before they are accepted. This is usually found under
"Internet Options" or "Preferences" on your browser. Please note though that
disabling cookies may limit the features and services that are available on our
web sites.
B. Opting Out. You can opt out of our information gathering by
contacting us at privacymanager@championhomes.net,
and we will remove you from any current non-anonymous files containing your
personal information. If you previously requested your information to be
provided to one of our retailers, please let us know in your e-mail, and we
will do our best to retrieve this information.
C. Let Us Know of Any Improper Uses. Please contact us immediately at
privacymanager@championhomes.net if you suspect that the information
you share with us is being used in violation of this Privacy Policy or in a
manner that is annoying or offensive.
IV. Changes to this Privacy Policy. Champion may amend this Privacy
Policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes to this Privacy
Policy, we will notify you with a prominent announcement on our web pages.
