MountainSeed Privacy Policy

Protecting your privacy is important to us. We understand and recognize your privacy concerns, so read below for more information on how we intend to use the information we collect.

MountainSeed Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which MountainSeed Appraisal Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, “MountainSeed”) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the https://www.mountainseed.com and other websites that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Sites”).  This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use (https://mountainseed.com/terms-of-use/), which are incorporated into the Privacy Policy as though set forth in full.  This Privacy Policy does not apply to your use of our Marketplace or Analytics Products or our Advisory services.

Personally identifiable information

Personally identifiable information (“PII”) is information that uniquely identifies a User as an individual, or that we can use to contact a User, online or offline.   PII would include, for example, a User’s first and last name, a mailing address, an e-mail address, or a telephone number.  In some sections of the Sites, Users can voluntarily provide PII. For example, Users may register for the updates, respond to a survey, or make an inquiry regarding services or potential employment.  Or, for example, the career portion of the Sites allows for uploading of a CV.

Users should not provide highly sensitive personal information via the Sites.  Highly sensitive personal information would include any government-issued identification number (such as SSN or driver’s license number), any financial account information, and any sensitive health information.  

Non-personally identifiable information

In addition to PII, MountainSeed may collect information that does not uniquely identify an individual user, and does not allow MountainSeed to contact a User, online or offline.  This is non-personally identifiable information (“NPPI”). NPPI may include, for example, information about what browser type a User uses to browse the Site, or the type of computer used and/or means of connection to the Site. 

Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking

Our Sites work with third-parties (“Service Providers”). These include Service Providers who help us track and analyze visitor activity on our Sites, measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts, and support the optimization of our digital marketing campaigns.

Our Sites use “cookies,” tracking pixels and related technologies. These can be set by us or by our Service Providers.

Cookies are small data files that online services can store on, and retrieve from, a user’s computer or mobile device through the user’s web browser. The information is stored and retrievable either for the duration of a website visit (known as “session cookies”), or until some later point in time set by our websites setting the cookie (known as “persistent cookies”).

Examples of information we and our Service Providers collect include how often someone visits our websites and what they do while on our websites. We and our Service Providers use this information in the aggregate to understand how our visitors as a group use different resources and to help us improve our websites. We and our Service Providers also collect information about the activity of individual website users. This information may be used to direct related advertisements and/or informational content to website users when they visit other websites.

Advertising

Ads appearing on our Sites may be delivered to Users by advertising partners, who may set cookies consistent with the description above. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize a User’s computer each time they send an online advertisement.  In the course of providing these services, the advertising partners compile NPPI in connection with usage of a User’s device. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to Users. This privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. You may learn more about opting out of major ad networks at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.  We are not responsible for the effectiveness or compliance of third party opt-out mechanisms or programs. Please note that if you delete your cookies or upgrade your browser after having opted out, you will need to opt out again. Further, if you use multiple browsers or devices you will need to opt out on each browser or device. You can access the information on our Sites without enabling cookies in your browser, but disabling cookies may result in a diminished ability to take advantage of the services and related informational content on our websites.

How MountainSeed uses and discloses PII and NPII

MountainSeed may use and disclose PII and NPII for any legitimate purpose.  These purposes include:

  • To provide the Sites
  • To provide information a User requests
  • To keep in touch with a User via e-mail, direct mail, or other lawful means, respond to your requests and questions, provide support, and send marketing communications that may be of interest to Users
  • To personalize the presentation of the Sites
  • To analyze how people use the Sites, to improve it
  • To meet all legal and compliance obligations
  • To obtain the assistance of third-party partners and vendors
  • In connection with any actual or pending sale of business assets

 

We share your PII with service providers that we believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other professional function for us, such as IT services, customer support, accounting, auditing, and tax providers, and other professional services.

The above excludes text messaging originator opt-in data (e.g. telephone number) and consent. This information is not shared with any third party. Your telephone number is not shared with any third party or affiliate for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

MountainSeed may also use PII and NPII to create de-identified data sets.  A de-identified data set is one which contains no PII and is not readily subject to re-identification of any PII.  MountainSeed can use and disclose de-identified data sets for any lawful purpose with no further notice, in its sole discretion.   

Marketing Communications

You can opt-out from receiving marketing text messages from us by replying with STOP. If at any time you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email. If you opt-out, we may still send you necessary service-related communications.

How We Protect Your Information

MountainSeed adopts measures designed to protect against loss, theft, or unauthorized use of PII.

MountainSeed has the discretion to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will post a notification on the main page of our Sites. If we maintain a User’s e-mail address in connection with the Sites, we will e-mail that User a notice of such changes.

We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.
