Privacy Policy
Overview
Classic Residence Management Limited Partnership, an Illinois
limited partnership d/b/a Vi, and its affiliates (collectively, Vi,
we or us) are serious about protecting your privacy. We understand
your concerns with regard to how information about and from you is
used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so
carefully and sensibly. This notice (this Privacy Policy) describes
what information we collect about and from you, how we collect it,
how we use it, with whom we may share it, and what choices you have
regarding it. This Privacy Policy relates specifically to the Vi
website located at http://www.viliving.com (the
Website), and constitutes a part of the Terms of Use that can be
found at the Website (the Terms of Use). In this Privacy Policy,
you refers to an individual accessing the Website, regardless of
the particular features, materials, information, applications, or
services made available on the Website that the individual chooses
to browse, use or take advantage of. We encourage you to become
familiar with the terms and conditions of both this Privacy Policy
and the Terms of Use. By accessing and using the Website, you agree
that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy and that you
accept and consent to the privacy practices (and any uses and
disclosures of information about you) that are described in this
Privacy Policy.
What Information Do We Collect?
In connection with your use of the Website, you may elect to
provide us with certain identifying information about you (the
Personal Information), including but not limited to your name, age,
street address, telephone number, email address, fax number,
company name, title, and other personally identifiable information
and preferences. We use the Personal Information in the manner
described in this Privacy Policy below. The Personal Information
becomes the property of Vi once it is delivered to us, and we will
maintain copies in our records. The Website is intended for
visitors over eighteen years of age. We do not target the
Website to appeal to children under the age of thirteen and we do
not knowingly collect personal information from children under the
age of thirteen.
Like many other websites, the Website may also collect certain
non-personally identifiable information about you and about the
equipment and communications method that you use to access the
Internet and the Website (Aggregate Data). For security reasons and
to confirm the integrity of our data, Vi may combine
components of this Aggregate Data with other sources of
information, which may include Personal Information about you.
Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or in our Terms
of Use, such Personal Information will be used solely for our
internal business purposes. In addition, the information we collect
may reveal such things as the type of Internet browser that you are
using (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape), the type of operating
system you are using (e.g., Windows XP or Mac OS), the domain name
of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online or
Earthlink), the Internet protocol (IP) address assigned to your
computer, the specific website you visited immediately prior to
visiting the Website, specific pages that you accessed on the
Website, the length of time you spent at specific pages of the
Website, and the aggregate number of times that you visited the
Website. The purposes for which this information is collected and
used include facilitating Website operation and system
administration, generating aggregate, non-identifiable statistical
information, monitoring and analyzing Website traffic and usage
patterns, and improving the content and content delivery with
regard to the Website and the online media, content, materials,
applications, and services that we describe or make available on
the Website.
Also, like many other websites, the Website uses cookies to
collect Aggregate Data. Cookies are pieces of data sent from a web
server to a visitors computer. Vi uses cookies to identify visitors
to our site so that we may provide each visitor with a personalized
experience, as well as collect Aggregate Data. In addition, the
Website may contain advertisements from third parties, and these
advertisements may also use cookies. In general, if you choose, you
may set your Internet browsers preferences and options so as to
disable the use of cookies.
How Do We Use The Information That We Collect?
In addition to the uses mentioned or described above, or
otherwise described in the Terms of Use, Vi may use the Personal
Information (a) to respond to your inquiries or questions about our
communities, (b) for internal marketing purposes, (c) to provide
you with information, materials and advertisements about the Vi
communities from time to time, (d) to offer you products or
services from time to time that Vi believes may be of interest you,
(e) to consider you for employment with Vi, (f) to analyze and
improve the security or integrity of the Website, (g) to protect or
safeguard persons or property, (h) to establish or exercise our
legal rights, and (i) for other legitimate and lawful business
purposes.
With Whom Do We Share Information That We Collect?
We will not rent, sell or exchange your Personal Information
with any third parties for their own marketing purposes. We
may share your Personal Information as follows:
In the course of conducting our business we may transfer
Personal Information between our offices and communities, or
transmit such Personal Information to our affiliates and
contractors. Any such transfer of Personal Information will be made
in accordance with applicable law, and our affiliates and
contractors have agreed to be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may
also produce reports on Website traffic or usage patterns and share
these reports with third parties, but the information contained in
these reports is anonymous and does not allow identification of any
specific individual.
We may disclose information about you if we become subject to a
subpoena or court order, or if we are otherwise legally required to
disclose information. We may also disclose information about you to
establish or exercise our legal rights, to enforce the Terms of
Use, to assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe
such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other
action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent
activities or potential threats to the physical safety or
well-being of any person.
As Vi continues to grow and develop its business, it is possible
that its corporate structure may change, or that it may merge or
otherwise combine with another company, or that it or its assets
may be acquired by another company. In any such transaction, the
Personal Information and Aggregate Data will most probably be among
the transferred business assets.
What Choices Do You Have?
If you do not wish to receive any information, materials,
advertisements or offers from Vi, you may so notify Vi in the
manner described below. Within a commercially reasonable time
following our receipt of any such notice, we will take steps to
assure that you will not receive any further communications from us
of such a nature.
How Do We Protect Information Collected?
Vi takes commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect
information transmitted via or stored on the Website and
transmitted to and from the Website. Nevertheless, no security
system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee that information that
users of the Website transmit to us will be totally secure. Vi is
not liable for any damages relating to any such security failure.
Specifically, you acknowledge that data and communications,
including e-mail and other electronic communications, may be
accessed by unauthorized third parties when transmitted over the
Internet. You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of
any breach of Website security, this Privacy Policy or the Terms of
Use.
Linked Websites
For your convenience, some hyperlinks may be posted on the
Website that link to other websites not under our control. We are
not responsible for, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to, the
privacy practices of those sites or of any companies that we do not
own or control. We encourage you to seek out and read the privacy
policy of each website that you visit. In addition, should you
happen to initiate a transaction on a website that our Website
links to, even if you reached that site through our Website, the
information that you submit to complete that transaction becomes
subject to the privacy practices of the operator of that linked
site. You should read that website's privacy policies to understand
how personal information that is collected from you at that website
is used and protected.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may change our privacy practices, and this
Privacy Policy, because of changes in relevant and applicable legal
or regulatory requirements, our business practices, or in order to
better serve your needs and those of our other users. Notice of
such changes to our privacy practices will be given in the manner
described in the Terms of Use and a revised Privacy Policy will be
posted on the Website.
Existing Agreements
If you have entered into any written or oral agreement or
agreements with Vi (any such agreement or agreements, collectively,
the Existing Agreement), none of the terms of this Privacy Policy
shall be deemed to alter or restrict in any way any rights or
obligations of the parties contained in the Existing Agreement.
Moreover, to the extent any of the terms of this Privacy Policy
conflict with any terms of the Existing Agreement, the terms of the
Existing Agreement shall be deemed to supersede the conflicting
terms contained herein.

or our services or privacy practices, or if you would like to
