Welcome to The Briggs Companies, where trust and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors and users (“You” or “Yours”). This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our website, thebriggscompanies.com (The “Site”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. 

Our website provides the ability to search for available rental spaces without the need for visitors to comment or log in. By using this Site, you signify your consent to The Briggs Companies’ online Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use this Site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to update, change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy from time to time.

Information We Collect

We do not collect Personal Identification information (such as names, contact information, etc.) directly through our website. Visitors can use our Site anonymously without the need to provide any personal details. However, there may be areas on our Site where you can share your name, postal address, email address, phone number, and zip code with us and where you can communicate with others. This Site may also provide certain features that give you the opportunity to register with us. Registered users and customers may sign up to receive electronic communications from us, where we ask for certain Personal Information. If you communicate with us by email or complete online forms, we may require Personal Information that personally identifies you. The Briggs Companies may also request your email address or mailing address for the purposes of having someone contact you for additional information, or in response to your request for information from us.

Information From Children

Our website does not address anyone under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers. 

Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our website and hold certain information. For instance, we may collect various forms of information such as entry and exit points for our Site (i.e., referring URLs or domains), Site traffic statistics, operating system and browser type (collectively “Traffic Data”). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you but is helpful for marketing purposes or for improving your experience on the Site. In addition, when you request pages on our Site, our servers automatically log your IP address. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. It may store some information on your computer as a “cookie” or similar file to help us maintain and improve this Site in many ways. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card, recording such things as Internet addresses, passwords, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. With most Internet browsers, you can erase “cookies” from your computer hard drive, block all “cookies,” or receive a warning before a “cookie” is stored. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to turn off cookies altogether. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. Enabling cookies allows you to take full advantage of our Site, and we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you elect to block the cookies, we cannot provide you with a personalized experience on our Site.

These Service Providers may use cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and usage.
