This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures of SAH Discoveries on behalf of our group companies, international partnership, and affiliated organizations (collectively referred to as “SAH”, “we”, “us” or “our”) on the collection, use and disclosure of your information on www.sahdiscoveries.com (the "Site") and the services, features or content we offer (collectively with the Site, the "Services"). When you use the Services, you are consenting to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
By using the Site, you’re agreeing to the SAH Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of our Privacy Policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.
What does this privacy policy cover?
This Privacy Policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") and other information collected in connection with your use of, or access to, the Services. This Privacy Policy also covers our treatment of any Personal Information that we collect outside the Services and are combined with such Personal Information collected in connection with your use of, or access to, the Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any landlords, renters, owners, buyers, and third party websites, services and applications (“Third Party Services”) that you elect to access through the Services or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy or that you request through your use of the Services, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access.
Third Party Links & Websites. The Site may contain links to other web sites that are operated or owned by third parties. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are navigating to another web site. SAH encourages you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from ours. SAH is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party web sites, and you use them at your own risk.
What about international users?
You information may be maintained on and transferred to computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, we transfer personal information to the United States and processes it there. Your use of the services and your submission of such information each represents your consent to that transfer.
What information do we collect?
You can visit www.sahdiscoveries.com without revealing any personal information. Our servers collect the Internet Protocol addresses, but not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information can measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, and other such statistics.
In connection with certain aspects of the Services, we may request and collect Personal Information as well as other information in connection with your use of, and access to, the Services. In this case, we collect the following types of information from our users.
Information you provide us: You may choose to provide us with certain information that could include, without limitation, Personal Information, such as your name, email address, geolocation data, employment information, social security number, demographic information, rental listing information, credit card or other payment information, background check information, rental application information, information contained in any lease you are negotiating or entering into, photo identification, reference letters, bank statements, income tax returns, or address of a listing you intend to rent, or other information we request from you that is required by law. You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by providing this information to us, we may store such information and contact you to send you information about the Services or for any other reason set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Information collected automatically: We also receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with the Services. We automatically receive and record information in our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, search queries, cookie information, mobile device identification and the pages you visit. We also record the details of your activity on the Services. This information may be used by us to develop new services or improve the Services.
Information collected using cookies: Cookies are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit. We use cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit the Site and otherwise use the Services through the Internet. Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Information. As noted, however, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services. Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. This Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties, including our third party partners and service providers.
We do not control when or how third parties place cookies on your computer. For example, third party websites to which a link points may set cookies on your computer. Ads appearing on the Services may be delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by SAH and does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, including advertisers or partners.
Aggregate information: We collect statistical information about how both users, collectively, use the Services ("Aggregate Information"). Some of this information is derived from Personal Information. This statistical information is not Personal Information and cannot be tied back to you. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the Services so that we can make the Services appealing to as many users as possible, and improve the Services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and the Services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.
How do we use and disclose your information?
In addition to the uses set forth above, we may use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any Personal Information:
to present the Services and its contents to you;
to provide you with information or services that you request from us;
to fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it;
to contact you regarding the Services;
to carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection;
to notify you about changes to the Services or any services we offer or provide though the Services;
to allow you to participate in interactive features of the Services;
to conduct research and development for the improvement of the Services, the development of new services and offerings and in connection with our business;
in any other way we may describe when you provide the information; or
for any other purpose with your consent.
SAH does not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to others. SAH may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.
Third party partners and service providers. We may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data, employment information, or fraud detection information, from third party partners and service providers and combine it with other information that we have about you. We work with third party partners and service providers to perform Services on our behalf, and we may share your Personal Information, such as your email address, with such partners and service providers to help us provide the Services.
Email communications with us: As part of the Services, you may occasionally receive email and other communications from us, such as communications relating to promotions we are offering through the Services. You may opt-out of receiving communications from us by following the instructions included with such emails, or emailing us at opt-out@sahdiscoveries.com, but then you may not have access to certain features of the Services. Note that this opt-out only applies to messages from SAH and not third parties.
Information disclosed pursuant to business transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.
Information disclosed for our protection and the protection of others: We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (ii) enforce the Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy, including investigation of potential violations thereof or hereof; (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (iv) respond to user support requests; or (v) protect our rights, property or safety, our users and the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and spam/malware prevention.
Information we share in connection with the services performed for you: The information you provide, including, without limitation, your profile information, search criteria, user name, email, address, and co-habitant information, may be used to facilitate and provide the services for you and transactions within the Services.
Information we share with your consent: Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.
Is Personal Information About Me Secure?
Data security is critical to us and thus all Personal Information, including your IP address information, is held using industry-standard security techniques in a secured database. While it is impossible to guarantee the complete security of any computer system and the data contained therein, our vendors are required to maintain and implement robust security policies and procedures that combine with available technologies in accordance with prevailing industry standards, all of which are designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your Personal Information. To the extent we are provided with social security numbers or personal financial information, we comply with all applicable regulations regarding the confidentiality and safe disposal of such information.
What Information Can I Access?
We may allow you to access certain information about you for the purpose of viewing, and in certain situations, updating that information. This list will change as the Services change. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. You may request deletion of your Personal Information by sending an e-mail to us at opt-out@sahdiscoveries.com. Please note that we may be required to retain some Personal Information in our records.
