Privacy policy.

Welcome to CoveEstatesTCI.com (“Turks and Caicos Home” “we,” or “us”). Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information that applies to our service, and your choices about the collection and use of your information.



Turks and Caicos Home is committed to protecting your personal information when you are using our services. We strive to make our services safe and enjoyable environments for you to use. We have created this policy in order to provide comprehensive information about Turks and Caicos Home use of cookies across its website. This page sets out the cookies used on our site and how to opt out of or reject cookies.



Collection and use of information


We collect the following types of information about you:



Analytics information


We may directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the service. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other information that assists us in improving the service. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.


Cookies information


Cookies may sometimes be used to deliver advertising and marketing messages relevant to you – a practice across the internet and known as behavioural marketing.



Behavioural Marketing technology


Behavioural Marketing technology gives users and advertisers a more valuable and unique experience by delivering advertising and content that is more relevant to the user. The system we are using is a type of "onsite behavioural marketing" which uses cookies to discover general information about which pages on our sites you visit. It also looks at IP addresses to add general information about the country, city or region in which you are located, along with your domain name (e.g. what internet service provider you use). This information enables you to be grouped with other people of similar interests and places you in a "market segment”.



We may then display advertisements on the site which we believe people in your market segment will find relevant. We consider that this makes the advertising more interesting and useful to you, and also helps us increase the value we get out of the site and from our advertisers, and therefore ultimately gives us a greater ability to invest in great content for the benefit of all our users.

We aggregate all relevant information to create the market segments of groups of people. We will at all times seek to comply with the regulatory framework applicable to onsite behavioural targeting technology in our implementation of it. Our "onsite behavioural marketing" functionality is different from other forms of behavioural targeting in that we look at your journey across our website.



Device identifiers


When you access the website by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart-phones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Turks and Caicos Home. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the service. Some features of the service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.



Location data


When you access the service by or through a device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your device. Location data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the service. Some features of the service, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.



Commercial and marketing communications


We use the information we collect or receive to communicate directly with you. We may send you emails containing newsletters, promotions and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you will be given the option to opt out or change your preferences. We also use your information to send you Service-related emails, purchase and billing confirmations and reminders, changes/updates. You may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.



Information we may receive from third parties


We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you access our websites or service through a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Twitter or Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” etc. Turks and Caicos Home, that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to Turks and Caicos Home. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. If you allow us access to your friends list, your friends' user IDs, and your connection to those friends, may be used and stored to make your experience more social, and to allow you to invite your friends to use our service as well as provide you with updates if and when you visit our website or connect with Turks and Caicos Home.
