CrownLands Privacy Policy

Your Privacy

The Crown Land Corporation ('CrownLand') is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our customers and visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that we are not in the business of selling or renting individuals' personal data to other companies for marketing purposes. In this Privacy Policy we provide detailed information on when and why we collect personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify you, such as your name, title, phone number, email address, or mailing address.

In general, you can browse our web site without giving us any personal information.

Additional activities on our site require you to be registered-for example, to place a deposit against a plot of land. As part of the registration process, we ask you to create an account where we collect additional personal information. We use that information for several general purposes: to fulfill your request of purchasing a plot of land; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to verify the accuracy of our records; or to contact you regarding customer satisfaction surveys.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We sometimes hire companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering items, sending postal mail, providing technical support, and processing event registrations.

We may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of all or a portion of a our business and/or the business of our subsidiaries or to (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on us or this web site; (2) protect and defend our rights, property and this web site; (3) enforce our agreements with you, or (4) act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety or the public.

Children and Privacy

Our web site does not offer information intended to attract children. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 16.

Security of Personal Information

When you submit any form on crownland.com, we use a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) helps protect your information as it travels over the Internet by encrypting that information before it is sent to us. We have also implemented industry-standard security mechanisms and procedures to protect data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small text file containing information that a web site transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow us to analyze our site traffic patterns and to provide a user-friendly registration and log-in process. A cookie can not give us access to your computer or to information beyond what you provide to us. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. Consult your browser's manual or online help if you want information on restricting or disabling the browser's handling of cookies. If you disable cookies, you can still view the publicly available information on our web site, but you will not be able to take advantage of offers or activities requiring registering, which includes accessing customer-only support areas. If you are using a shared computer and you have cookies turned on, be sure to log off when you finish.

'Send-to-a-Friend'

We may encourage our customers and web site visitors to tell a friend about CrownLands products, services or events. If a customer or visitor chooses to refer a friend to us, we will use that friend's information only for the purposes of sending CrownLands-related information to that friend. We will use the information only once and it will not be stored in our systems.

Links to Other Web Sites

Our web site contains links to information on other web sites. We do not have any control over these other web sites, and therefore we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting those sites. Those sites are not governed by this Privacy Policy, and if you have questions about how a site uses your information, consult that site's privacy statement.
