PRIVACY POLICY (“Privacy Policy”)
Purpose
This Privacy Policy sets out the privacy practices of the website located at www.paddencp.com (hereafter, the “Website”), as owned and operated by Westcore Realty, LLC (“Westcore”, “we,” “our,” “us”). For purposes of clarity, the Website does not include the Commercial Cafe Tenant Portal hosted by Yardi, the Human Resource Portal hosted by ADP, or any other websites not listed above. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information including “Personally Identifiable Information” (defined below) we gather about you through the Website and the ways in which we use and share this information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that we may collect offline, through another website (including the Tenant Portal) or through any other. Any terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning ascribed to them in our Terms of Use.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personally Identifiable Information” means any information that can identify, relate to, describe, or be associated with a particular individual or household including, without limitation, first and last name, postal address, email address, telephone number, online identifier, internet protocol (“IP”) address, biometric information, geolocation data, and internet or other electronic network activity information such as browsing history and search history. Personally Identifiable Information does not include any aggregate or combined information, such as data that is related to you but studied as a group and does not identify you specifically.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, since it is a part of the Terms of Use that together constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Westcore. By using or attempting to use the Website, you accept, without limitation or qualification, and are agreeing to be bound by and comply with everything contained in our Terms of Use, including this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any of these provisions, do not use the Website.
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact us as set forth in the section entitled “Contact Us” below. If you are a California resident, please also see the “Additional Disclosures for California Residents” section below.
Information Collection
A. Information You Provide
We collect information that you provide directly via the Website, such as when you access our content or complete the “Contact Us” form on the Website. We may use Service Providers (defined below) to collect this information.
The information we collect includes information that identifies you personally (whether alone or in combination). The categories of information we collect and have collected include:

· Content. We collect the content of messages you send to us, such as your feedback or questions and information you provide to us.
You may choose to voluntarily submit information to us through the Website that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.
When you complete the Website forms or otherwise provide us your information in connection with your use of the Website, you agree to provide accurate, complete and true information. You agree not to use or submit any false or misleading names or any other inaccurate or misleading information. If we, in our sole determination, believe that any information you provide to us is intentionally untrue, inaccurate or incomplete, we may prohibit your use of the Website.

When you visit the Website, Westcore and our Service Providers may collect and store certain technical information automatically. The categories of information we automatically collect and have collected include:
· Service Use Data. We collect data about the features you use, the pages you visit, the e-mails and advertisements you view, the time of day you browse, your referring and exiting pages, and other similar information.
· Device Connectivity and Configuration Data. We collect data about the type of device or browser you use, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and other similar information. This data also includes IP address, MAC address, and other device identifiers.

We use various technologies to collect this information (“Tracking Technologies”) including the following:
· Log Files. A log file is a file that records events that occur in connection with your use of a website or service, such as your service use data.
· Cookies. A cookie is a small data file stored on your device that acts as a unique tag to identify your browser. We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate a website and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings. You may elect to disable cookies by following your Internet browser’s relevant procedure to block that functionality.
· Pixels. A pixel (also known as a web beacon) is code embedded in a website, video, e-mail, or advertisements that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, e-mail, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or another party to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We may incorporate pixels from other parties that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising, and provide you with additional functionality. You may elect to disable pixels by following your Internet browser’s relevant procedure to block that functionality.
· Location-Identifying Technologies. Location data may be used for purposes such as verifying your device’s location and delivering or restricting relevant content and advertising based on that location.

Confidentiality and Security
We urge you to take every precaution to protect your Personally Identifiable Information when you are on the Internet. We are committed to protecting the security of the information collected from users of our Website and we have implemented generally accepted standards of technology security in order to protect information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, it is not possible to guarantee the security or integrity of information disclosed online because no data transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Links to Other Sites
The Website may contain links to third party websites. Please be aware that, when you click on (i.e., select) a link applicable to another website, your browser will re-direct and leave the Website and your activities and the collection of information about you will no longer be subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. You should review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those websites.
Children's Privacy Statement
The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13 and we do NOT knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13 as part of the Website. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received Personally Identifiable Information from a user under the age of 13, we will take the appropriate steps to delete such information from our records. We do not knowingly “sell,” as that term is defined under the California Consumer Protection Act, the personal information of minors under 16 years old who are California residents.
International Transfer
We are based in the U.S. and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Website from outside of the U.S., please be aware that information collected through the Website may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Data protection laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions may be different from those of your country of residence.
