Types of Information We Collect

Information You Manually Provide. Shopping Center collects the information you manually provide when you use any of the Services.

Information From Third-Party Social Media Platforms. You may be able to register with, log on to, or enhance your profile on this Site by choosing to automatically populate the requested data fields with information you previously provided to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook or Twitter). By doing this, you are asking the third-party platform to send us information, including personal information, from your profile on that platform. We treat that information as we do any other information you give to us when you register, log on, or enhance your profile.

Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser or mobile device. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet service provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. The information we receive may depend on your browser or device settings.

The information we receive from your web browser and/or device is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable. Generally, we use this information in the aggregate to help us improve our Services and make it more compatible with the technology used by our visitors. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you. We may also review our server logs for security purposes-for example, to detect intrusions into our network-and we might share our server logs, which contain users" IP addresses, with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify you.

Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies. We use “cookies“ and other technologies to collect information and support certain features of our Services. For example, we may use these technologies to:

  • collect information about the ways visitors use our Services-which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
  • support the features and functionality of our Services-for example, to save you the trouble of re-entering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits; and
  • personalize your experience when you use our Services; and
  • improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising.

The information we collect using cookies and similar technologies is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable, but we may link it to personal information that you provide. You may be able to block our cookies and other technologies using settings on your browser or mobile device, such as you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you use our Services, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of our Services if your browser or device rejects our cookies.

Your Location. Using GPS technology, we may also collect precise, real-time location information from your mobile device and use that information to deliver tailored content through any of our Services. For example, if we recognize that you are near a particular shopping center, we may send a message to your mobile device letting you know about a sale taking place at that shopping center. We may also share information about your location with your friends and other contacts, to the extent you interact with them using the social networking tools available through our Services. Assuming you have not blocked our collection of location information from your mobile device, our mobile Site or App may collect such information even if you are not logged into it.

If you wish to stop receiving promotional emails, simply select “unsubscribe“ located at the bottom of each communication.

Do Not Track Mechanisms. California law requires this Policy to address how we respond to any “Do-Not-Track ("DNT") signal“ delivered by your browser.

Steps We Take to Safeguard your Personal Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of Personal Information you submit on or through our Services.

How We Share Your Personal Information With Others

Placewise LLC (Placewise). Placewise powers this Site and manages the Personal Information we collect through this Site. As such, Placewise helps us with our promotional efforts and conducts surveys related both to this Site and your shopping experiences at Bridgeport Village, among other activities. In addition, we allow Placewise to use your Personal Information for its own marketing purposes. In particular, Placewise operates the Placewise Network, which is a network of various shopping centers for which Placewise powers websites. Placewise may use the Personal Information you submit on or through this Site to contact you about other malls that we own.

Other Third-Party Vendors. We may share information collected through our Services with other third-party vendors who act for or on behalf of Shopping Center. These third-party vendors may need information about you to perform their functions. However, they are bound by law or contract to protect your Personal Information and, unlike Placewise, are only allowed to use the Personal Information to perform services on our behalf.

Other Users of this Site. You may be able to submit or transmit User-Generated Content (“UGC“) or Feedback on or through any of our Services. Any Personal Information contained in UGC can be read, collected, or used by others. Any Personal Information that you submit with Feedback will be subject to this Policy. In addition, we may use UGC or Feedback you submit or transmit for advertising campaigns and other promotions, without further notice or compensation to you. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for such purposes. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy or control with respect to UGC or Feedback that you submit or transmit on or through any of our Services.

Third-Party Social Media Platforms. We may provide functionality through our Services that allows you to automatically post information about the actions you take on our Site or through our App to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook or Twitter). If you choose to take advantage of this functionality, people with access to your profile on the third-party platform may be able to see the actions you have taken-for example, the items you have purchased. Thus, you should have no expectation of privacy in those actions. Further, if you choose to link your profile on any of our Services with an account on a third-party social media platform, we may share the information in your profile with that third-party platform.

Other, Carefully Selected Business Partners. From time to time, we may share your information with selected third parties for their own marketing purposes. For example, we may partner with third parties to sponsor contests or other promotions, and we may share with these third parties the information you submit to us to participate in the contest or take advantage of the promotion. Before doing so, however, we may offer you the opportunity to “opt out“ or “opt in,“ as required by applicable law.

Business Transactions. We may decide as part of our business strategy that it is advantageous for us to sell, license, or otherwise transfer some or all of the information that we have collected from and about our visitors. If we enter a transaction of this type, we will require the recipient of your Personal Information to maintain it in a manner consistent with this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

Business Transfers. We may decide, for strategic or other reasons, to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize one or more of our businesses. A transaction of this type may involve the transfer or disclosure of Personal Information to prospective purchasers. In such cases, we will take reasonable measures to protect the Personal Information we disclose. In addition, your Personal Information may be transferred to successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of any of our Services to another organization or if we merge with another organization. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization"s use of your Personal Information will still be subject to this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

Compliance with Laws and Protection of Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose your Personal Information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order, or a subpoena. We may also disclose your Personal Information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of any of our Services; to enforce or apply any of our Terms of Use or other agreements; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others.

As Described in a Privacy Notice. We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information as described in any Privacy Notice posted through the Service at the point where you provide that information. By providing your personal information at that location you will be consenting to the disclosure of your personal information as described in that Privacy Notice.
