5.    Unaffiliated Third-Party Links/Websites

Our Websites may contain links to other websites or services that Demmon Partners neither owns nor operates. Websites hosted by third party service providers, such as RENTCafe.com, may appear as if you are still on a Site.  To tell whether you are on one of the Websites or viewing third party content, please check the URL address in your browser’s address window.

We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every third party website and service provider before providing any personally information to them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. If you choose to visit or use any third party websites, including those offered by our third party service providers or other partners, please be aware that this Policy will not apply to information that you disclose to third parties.

6.    Opt-Out and Do-Not-Track Signals

Do Not Track (DNT) is a web browser setting that requests that a website or web application disable its tracking of a user’s browsing data. Various web browsers (including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) offer a “do not track” option, which sends a signal to websites visited by the user about his or her browser DNT preference setting.

We do not directly respond to “Do Not Track” signals and no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted. We do not permit third parties other than our analytics and other service providers to track the users’ activity on the Websites. We do not track your online activity on other online services over time.

Third parties like Google Analytics that have content embedded on Demmon Partners’s websites may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Demmon Partners website from a certain IP address. Third parties cannot collect any other Personal Information from Demmon Partners websites unless you provide it to them directly.

You may opt-out of data collection from certain companies:

·       We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze information about the use of our Websites. This information helps us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you have an account with Google, you can manage your advertising settings, otherwise you can manage these settings through your web browser.

·       You may also opt-out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on here. Please review Google’s terms of service and privacy policy before installing. You can learn about Google’s practices by clicking here.

·       We also use Facebook Insights to collect and analyze information about the use of our Websites. For more information about Facebook’s collection and use of this data and your rights and choices about protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s Privacy Policy. For logged-in users’ deactivation, please check http://www.facebook.com/settings/. To do this you must be logged in on Facebook or Instagram.

·       You may also opt out of the automated collection of information by certain third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising.

Because those opt-out pages are specific to your browser used to visit it and because we do not have control over those unaffiliated third party websites, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.

7.    Notice at Collection for Job Applicants, Contractors, Or Similar Individuals

Pursuant to the CCPA, this section is a Privacy Notice pertaining only to Personal Information Demmon Partners may collect about a California resident in the course of such person acting as a job applicant to, contractor to, or similar individuals of Demmon Partners. During the course of your application for work with us, we may collect certain information about you. The categories of information we may collect, and the purposes for collecting them, include:

8.    Security of Personal Information

We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the security of your Personal Information both online and offline including the implementation of access controls, firewalls, network intrusion detection, and use of anti-virus software. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the Personal Information we collect, process, and store, and the current state of technology. We or a third party acting on our behalf will store the data necessary for the encryption, especially the public and private keys (the private keys are stored encrypted, for us it is not possible to decrypt any private key). However, as technology continues to develop overtime, there is no storage, or transmission of data over the Internet that is guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee to providing absolute security. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, transmission of Personal Information to and from our Websites is at your own risk. You should only access the Websites within a secure environment.

Demmon Partners will retain your Personal Information, including sensitive Personal Information, only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy.

Demmon Partners will also retain Usage Data (i.e., data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the service or from the service infrastructure itself, such as the duration of a page visit) for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
