Personal information does not include information that is publicly available, de-identified, aggregated, or otherwise exempted by applicable laws. The information we may collect will vary and depend on the nature of your relationship with us and the reason(s) for providing/collecting the information.
A. Information You Submit or Provide to Us
We or our vendors collect the information that you directly provide to us, such as when you enter it on a webpage, submit an online form, use a chat feature we may offer, or include it in an email that you send to us in relation to our Services. In addition, we may collect information through relevant business support processes, during the registration or account creation processes, and through other business functions where we ask you to provide information, including:
- Contact Information (e.g., name, email or mailing address, or phone number);
- Account Administration Information (e.g., username, password, or security questions);
- Communications (e.g., information you submit through our interactive chat feature or through other communications with us, including potential customer service call recordings);
- Payments and financial information (e.g., information necessary to process transactions, conduct due diligence, as part of an application, or for other business needs);

Your use of interactive features we may offer on our Services is voluntary, and we may retain the information that you submit through these features. If you participate in interactive chat, either with a virtual or live agent, the contents of the chat may be captured by us or our service provider and kept as a transcript. If you use these features, you understand that our vendors may process the information obtained through the feature to provide the Service on our behalf.
If you submit personal information of other people to us, e.g., when participating in a resident referral program we may offer, you represent that you have permission and authority to provide us with such personal information. If you do not have permission, please do not provide us with their information.

If you voluntarily choose to enter a Promotion, your information may be disclosed to us, our co-sponsors, service providers, and other third parties, including for administrative purposes and as required by law (e.g., on a winner’s list). By entering, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that Promotion, which may include consent to additional or differing data practices from those contained in this Privacy Policy. Please review those rules carefully.
V. CHOICES YOU HAVE ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION
You may always limit the amount and type of information that we collect from you by choosing not to enter or provide information requested from you on our Services. However, some of our features and Services can only be provided to you if you provide us with requested information (including, in some instances, personal information). Some of the Services offered may ask whether you wish to opt out or opt into our contact lists for offers, promotions and additional Services that may be of interest to you.
VI. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
Some web browsers may transmit “Do-Not-Track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates. As with many other companies, we do not currently respond to these signals.

Bayside Waters is committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of your information against unauthorized access and disclosure. We only disclose your personal information to our personnel or others who need to know the information to service your account or to provide our Services, and as otherwise permitted or required by law. We maintain strict physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information.
VIII. OUR POLICY ON THE INFORMATION OF CHILDREN
Bayside Waters does not seek or knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that children do not provide information through the Services. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with information, please contact us using one of the methods specified below, and we will work with you to address the issue.
IX. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We are a United States company and we provide our Services subject to United States law. However, we may transfer information to our affiliates, vendors, and business partners in other countries around the world, subject to applicable laws, and as a result personal information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the other countries. As such, courts, law enforcement, and authorities in other countries may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to access your personal information. By using the Services or providing us with any information through the Services, you consent to this potential transfer, processing and storage of your information, and you acknowledge that other countries and jurisdictions may not provide the same privacy protections and their privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the United States or in the country where you reside or are a citizen.
X. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect technological advancements, legal and regulatory changes and good business practices or otherwise at our discretion subject to applicable laws. If we make any changes, a new Privacy Policy will reflect those changes and the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy will be set forth at the top of the Privacy Policy.
Your continued use of the Services after we make changes to this Privacy Policy is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: MANDATORY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION WAIVER
The exclusive means of resolving any claim related to your use of the Sites or these Terms shall be BINDING ARBITRATION. Except as provided below in the case of a Mass Filing, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. If you are a consumer, as defined by JAMS in its Consumer Minimum Standards, you may request that the arbitration hearing be conducted in the area in which you reside. Otherwise, the hearing (if any) shall take place in Pinellas County, Florida, United States of America.
You agree to first give us an opportunity to resolve any claims by contacting us in writing (the “Claims Notice”). After receipt of a Claims Notice, we may request an individualized video or telephone conference which both parties will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). If we are not able to resolve your claims within sixty (60) days of receiving the Claims Notice, you may seek relief through arbitration, as set forth in this section. You agree that you will not take any legal action, including any demand for arbitration, until after the expiration of this 60-day dispute resolution period.
EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT, TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY COVERED CLAIM.
If, at any time, twenty-five (25) or more claimants (including you) submit demands or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims against us, and such circumstances meet the definition and criteria of Mass Filings (“Mass Filing”) set forth in National Arbitration & Mediation's (“NAM”) Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM's Mass Filing Rules,” available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), you and we agree that JAMS shall not serve as the arbitration administrator and that instead NAM shall administer any such Mass Filing and the NAM Mass Filing Rules in effect at the time such claim is filed shall apply. You agree that throughout this process, the parties' counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures, including the possibility of procedural consolidation of similar claims for arbitration, based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that by electing to participate in a Mass Filing, the adjudication of your dispute might be delayed.
You and we agree that each party values the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wishes to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between the parties. You and we acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed.
12. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the State of Florida, without giving effect to conflict of law principles thereof. Subject to Section 11, you hereby consent and submit to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida.
