Privacy Policy

Introduction

West Cary Group (“we” or “us”) has assembled this Privacy Policy to help our site visitors (“you”) understand how we collect, use and share information obtained from your visit to our site located at www.westcarygroup.com (the “Website”), and the choices that you have with respect to that information.

By accessing this Website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy, you may choose to not use the Website at any time.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, we may update the Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to frequently check this page for any updates to the Privacy Policy. Your further use of the Website after a change to our Privacy Policy will be subject to the updated policy.

When you submit an email through an email link, we collect your email address as well as any information you provide in the body of the email

Technical data provided from web browsers, mobile devices, or servers: this may include IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, data and time of access, operating system and mobile network information
Information from cookies and other technologies: A cookie is a string of information that the Website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the Website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on the Website. We use cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help identify and track visitors and Website usage, and to deliver relevant advertisements to visitors who have used the Website. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how visitors can control the use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy

To respond to your direct inquiry related to West Cary Group
To monitor and analyze trends in order to better understand how users interact with the Website
To further develop and improve our Website – this may include (but not limited to) changes to features, content or user experience
To serve relevant advertisements in your web browser or application after a visit to the Website
To measure, gauge and improve the effectiveness of our advertising
To communicate with you about offers and promotions offered by West Cary Group we think will be of interest to you, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date on West Cary Group

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your private personal information. We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:

Employees and Independent Contractors: we may disclose information about you to our employees and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know the information in order to process the information on our behalf and fulfill any requests you have made directly to us. We require our employees and independent contractors to follow this Privacy Policy for personal information that we share with them
Third Party Vendors: we may share information about you with third party vendors who need to know information about you in order to provide their services to us. This group includes (but not limited to) vendors that assist us with our marketing efforts and those that help us develop and improve our Website
Legal Requests: we may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
To Protect Rights, Property and Others: we may disclose information about you when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of West Cary Group, third parties, or the public at large
Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that West Cary Group goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy
With Your Consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction, such as third parties with which you authorize us to do so
Aggregated or De-Identified Information: we may share information that has been aggregated or reasonably de-identified, so that the information could not reasonably be used to identify you

Children and Privacy

As a requirement to use our Website, you acknowledge that you have the appropriate consent(s) from any individual (or the parent of any child under the age of 18) to share their personal information with us. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of eighteen (18). We will delete any personal information collected that we later determine to be from an individual younger than the age of eighteen (18).

Third Party Sites and Services

Our Website may contain links to third party websites, applications and services not operated by us. These links are provided as a service and do not imply any endorsement by us of the activities or content of these sites, applications or services nor any association with their operators. Additionally, our Website may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Website. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any third-party including websites or services directly linked to our Website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site that you visit.

Storage

The personal information that you provide to us is generally stored on servers located in the United States. If you are located in another jurisdiction, you explicitly ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT that once your personal information is submitted through our Website, it will be transferred to our servers in the United States and that the United States currently does not have uniform data protection laws in place. Further, the United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) of the European Union. For residents of the European Union, we rely on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. In particular, we collect and transfer to the U.S. personal information of European Union residents only: (a) with your consent; (b) to perform a contract with you; or (c) to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of ours in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms.

How Long We Keep Information

We generally discard information about you when we no longer need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it – which are described in the section above on How and Why We Use Your Information – and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you wish to request that we no longer use your information to provide you service, contact us at info@westcarygroup.com.

Security

We work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring the Website for potential vulnerabilities and attacks. However, no website is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Website; any personal information transmitted to us is at your own risk.

Choices

You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

Limit the Information that You Provide: you may choose not to provide information requested by the Website. Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain features of the Website may not be accessible.

Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us; in order to do so, follow the instructions in those messages.

Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using the Website, with the drawback that certain features of the Website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

West Cary Group is your data controller. A data controller makes decisions regarding, and is responsible for, the collection, use, disclosure, retention and protection of your Personal Information in accordance with this privacy notice, as well as any applicable national laws.
