Privacy Policy
The following describes the policies and practices of Sutton Partners with regard to the collection and use of personal information from users of our website and subscribers to our various communications and services. Throughout this page, the terms "we," "us," and "our" are meant to include Sutton Partners staff, contractors, and partners.
We have the utmost respect for your privacy and will not trade, sell, or exchange your personal information with anyone. We only share your information with third parties we have contracted with to provide you services on our behalf, as described below under "With whom we share the information."
When it comes to the collection and use of personal information, our guiding questions are:
- "Will having this information help us better serve this individual or organization?"
- "Do we have permission to use the information in this way?"
- "Is this use of the information required in order to fulfill the expectations of the individual or organization?"
Information we collect about you
Registration: At this time, there is no account registration required to browse our primary website.
Browsing the site: Throughout our websites, we may offer the option for you to forward information to a colleague or client. In this process, we use an online form to collect your name, email address, an optional comment from you, and the email address of the recipient. This information is used to deliver the item but is not stored by us; the email addresses that you provide to use this feature will only be used to send the requested information.
Participating in a survey, contest, or special offer: Several times a year, Sutton Partners may host optional surveys or special offers, each of which may ask you for additional information about your experience, opinion, or demographics. This information is maintained on a secure server accessible only by staff.
Aggregate information: Our goal is to help you secure the best corporate and medical housing nationwide. Therefore, the majority of the information we collect, from website tracking to survey responses, has to do with what your interests are and how you use (or would like to use) our services. We analyze this data in aggregate and in segments and use this information in order to provide better placement options, content, design, and delivery of our work to you.
When you submit questions or placement requests to a Sutton Partners staff member (via a form on the website or email), we will use your email address to respond directly to you. Except as explained in this policy, Sutton Partners does not send unsolicited email.
Other individual information
If you supply us with your postal address you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on housing availability, services, or upcoming markets.
If you supply us with your telephone number we will only call you with information regarding housing requests you have placed or to update contact information. On occasion we may contact you by phone to seek input or advice on a particular placement issue or opportunity.
With whom we share the information: Third party service providers
We will not share individually-identifying personal information about you with third parties without your permission, with the exception of service providers, properties, or other organizations we contract with to fulfill services on our behalf (e.g., property management partners, delivering email, executing credit card transactions), or under the circumstances described in Compliance with Legal Requirements below.
Compliance with Legal Requirements
We may disclose personal information if we are required to by law, or we believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process, (b) protect and defend our rights and property, (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of Sutton Partners' services, or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our residents, users, or the public. As such, if you attempt to pose as someone else, we may disclose information about you or your actions as part of an investigation into any harm done by your actions.
Security
When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information, such as financial information or background check data, we redirect visitors to a secure outside vendor's server. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online.
Business Transitions
If Sutton Partners were to merge with or acquire another entity, or sell a portion of its assets, some information regarding clients, subscribers, and/or website visitors may be transferred.
How you can manage the use of your information
We respect those that wish to have no contact at all with the organization. If you wish to have no email contact, phone contact, or mailings from Sutton Partners, please call, email, or write us at the contacts provided. We will process the request within 10 business days of receiving notice. We reserve the right to contact you for customer service purposes regarding any transactions or housing placements you initiate with the contact form on the site.
