JMF Properties, LLC. may also collect Personal Information and non-Personal Information from you through means other than the Web Site. This may include offline collection, such as when you submit a paper application to rent an apartment, make a rent payment by check, or call or visit the management office at an JMF Properties, LLC property. It may also include e-mails that you send to us separate from the Web Site. We may also collect information relating to conversations, including recordings monitoring customer service calls for quality assurance or training purpose, and other communications such as SMS.

Information We Obtain through Your Use of the Website
Additionally, we will collect other information that you voluntarily provide through your use of the Web Site or our services – for instance, you may ask us questions or provide comments to us via the “Contact Us” page of our Web Site. When using the “Contact Us” form, we will ask you to provide certain Personal Information, such as your name and email address, so that we can respond to your questions or comments.

When you visit the Web Site, we automatically collect certain information about your activities (“Web Site Usage Information”). Web Site Usage Information is information about how our visitors use and navigate the Web Site. This includes, for example, the number and frequency of visitors to each web page, the length of their stays, the type of browser each visitor is using to view the Web Site (for example, Internet Explorer, Firefox), the type of operating system each visitor is using, (for example, WindowsOS, Mac OS), the domain name of each visitor’s Internet service provider, the location data such as the visitor’s IP address, the address (or “URL”) of the web site that the visitor came from before visiting the Web Site, which pages were visited on the Web Site, what was clicked on, and certain other available information.

When you input Personal Information to one of our Portal Sites, you are providing that information to a third party. Our Portal Sites may use framing techniques to make it appear that the user is still on the Web Site when the user is actually on a Portal Site. For example, if you are on a page that has the look and feel of www.JMF Properties, LLC.com, but the address listed in your browser is a different web site URL, then you should know that any information you provide is being collected by this third party and not governed by this Privacy Policy. You should carefully review the privacy policy and terms for any third party Portal Site.

SECURITY
While we take reasonable steps to secure your Personal Information, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Likewise, no storage or processing of your Personal Information on the Web Site or on other servers or databases to which the information may be transferred can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please consider this prior to submitting your Personal Information to us via the Web Site.
We use current security measures to safeguard your personal information:
- All of the personal information you provide us is stored in a secure computing environment protected by secure firewalls and intrusion prevention systems to avert unauthorized access.
- We protect the confidentiality of your data by encrypting sensitive information.
- We build information security into our systems and networks using internationally recognized security standards, regulations, and industry-based best practices.
- We control access so that only people who need to access the information are able to. All staff of JMF Properties, LLC. are required to adhere to our policies on confidentiality and security.
- When you access secure areas of our websites, we use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to provide you with the safest, most secure web experience possible. SSL technology enables encryption (scrambling) of sensitive information, including passwords and banking information, during your online session. There are two cues to show you that you are using a secure area. First, the website address (or URL) appears as https:// (instead of just http://) – the “s” is for “secure.” Second, a lock or key indicator appears in the status bar of your web browser. We use https:// only for secure pages, i.e. pages that transfer confidential information. Pages that are only used for product offerings will still use the regular http:// since no sensitive information is being passed through them.
- Secure areas of the site have a time-out feature. If you leave your secure session inactive for some time, it times-out to prevent unauthorized access.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
The Web Site may contain links to other websites whose information practices may be different from ours. You should consult the specific privacy policies posted on these sites when linking to them.
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please review this Policy periodically for updates. If we make significant changes to the way we process or use your data, we will provide specific notification of those changes to you prior to those changes taking effect.
