This information is used by Williams Homes for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Williams Ranch Website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Williams Homes public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Williams Homes does not read any of your private online communications.

Williams Homes encourages you to review the privacy statements of Websites you choose to link to from Williams Ranch so that you can understand how those Websites collect, use, and share your information. Williams Homes is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Websites outside of the Williams Ranch and Williams Homes family of Websites.

Use of your Personal Information

Williams Homes collects and uses your personal information to operate the Williams Ranch Website and deliver the services you have requested. Williams Homes also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Williams Homes and its affiliates. Williams Homes may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Williams Homes does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. We partner with a third party ad network to either display advertising on our Website or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other Websites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here (Link to TRUSTe global opt-out: http://preferences.truste.com/). Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads. Williams Homes may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Williams Homes may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Williams Homes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Williams Homes does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Williams Homes keeps track of the Websites and pages our customers visit within Williams Homes, in order to determine what Williams Homes services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Williams Homes to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Williams Homes Websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Williams Ranch or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Williams Homes; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Williams Homes, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Williams Ranch Website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.  One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. 

The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Williams Ranch pages, or register with Williams Ranch site or services, a cookie helps Williams Ranch to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Williams Ranch Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Williams Ranch features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Williams Ranch services or Websites you visit. If you would like more information about this practice or to opt out of having this information used by third-party ad servers to provide targeted ads, please visit http://networkadvertising.org/choices.

California Residents

The State of California enacted the Shine the Light law (CA Civil Code Sec 198.83) that permits Williams Ranch customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information during the past year for marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to amoore@somostechnology.com.

Security of your Personal Information

Williams Homes secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Williams Ranch secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Williams Ranch will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Williams Ranch encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Williams Homes is protecting your information.
