Cookies and Online Tracking
We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to operate our Site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and serve marketing. Our Cookie Policy describes each category of cookie, its purpose, and how to control it.
We respond to Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information for residents of states where the law recognizes such signals.
Your State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain states have specific rights described below. To exercise any right, contact us using the information at the end of this Policy. We will verify your identity before responding and will not retaliate for exercising your rights.
California (CCPA / CPRA)
California residents have the right to know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, to request deletion, to request correction, to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information, to limit use of sensitive personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. The categories of personal information we have collected in the prior twelve months align with the categories listed in section 1798.140 of the California Civil Code.
Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), Utah (UCPA), Texas (TDPSA), Oregon (OCPA), Montana (MCDPA), Iowa (ICDPA), Tennessee (TIPA), Indiana (ICDPA), Florida (FDBR), Delaware (DPDPA), New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Nebraska, Washington (My Health My Data Act)
Residents of these states have similar rights to access, correct, delete, port, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling activities, subject to verification and the specific terms of each statute. We honor verified requests in accordance with the applicable statute.
Nevada
Nevada residents have the right to opt out of sale of certain covered information. We do not sell covered information.
Other States
If you reside in a state that enacts a comprehensive privacy law after the date of this Policy, we will honor verified rights requests in accordance with that statute when it becomes effective.
Authorized Agents
You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. The agent must provide signed written authorization, and we may require you to verify your identity directly.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are directed to adults engaged in real estate, construction, and business activities. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen (13) without parental consent and we do not direct any service to children under sixteen (16) for purposes of online behavioral advertising. If you believe we have collected information from a child in violation of applicable law, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by data category. For example, project records, construction documents, and tax records are retained for the period required by applicable statutes of limitations and tax law (generally seven (7) years from project completion or longer where required). Tenant application records are retained for the period required by fair-housing record-keeping rules. After the retention period, information is securely destroyed or de-identified.
Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Safeguards include access controls, encryption in transit and at rest for sensitive categories, secure disposal procedures, employee training, vendor due diligence, and incident-response planning.
No system is impenetrable. If we become aware of a security incident affecting personal information, we will notify affected individuals and applicable regulators in accordance with applicable breach-notification laws.
International Transfers
Our servers and service providers are located in the United States. If you access our Site from outside the United States, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using our Site, you consent to that transfer where consent is the lawful basis. Where required, we use approved transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Marketing Communications
We send marketing communications by email, postal mail, and (with prior express written consent) text message and telephone. You may opt out of email marketing using the unsubscribe link in any commercial email or by replying STOP to any text message. You may also send a written opt-out request to the address below. Opt-outs are processed within ten (10) business days. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional or service-related communications.
Do Not Track and GPC
Most browsers transmit Do Not Track (DNT) signals. There is no universally accepted standard for DNT, and we do not respond to DNT signals at this time. We do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out of sale or sharing where applicable state law recognizes that signal.
Third-Party Links
Our Site contains links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review the privacy policies of any third-party site before providing personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes take effect thirty (30) days after posting unless a shorter period is required by law. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
Contact Us and Submitting Privacy Requests
To submit a privacy request or ask questions about this Policy, contact us:
Blue Diamond Development Inc.
Attention: Privacy Officer
1501 South Greeley Highway, Suite C-3022, Cheyenne, WY 82007
Phone: (888) 851-1477
Email: derrick@bluediamonddevelopinc.com
We will respond within forty-five (45) days, with one possible extension of forty-five (45) days where necessary, in accordance with applicable law.
Sensitive Personal Information
Several state privacy statutes (CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, and others) recognize a category of “sensitive personal information” that triggers additional notice and choice obligations. We treat the following as sensitive: government-issued identification numbers (Social Security Number, driver’s license, passport, taxpayer identification number), financial account information, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, contents of mail or email content not directed to us, genetic information, biometric data when used for identification, health information, and information about sex life or sexual orientation.
We collect sensitive personal information only as needed to provide services (for example, taxpayer identification numbers for IRS reporting on payments to vendors and contractors, banking information for payment processing, and screening data for tenant applications). We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with consent or as permitted by law. California residents may limit our use of sensitive personal information by submitting a Limit-the-Use request, which we honor in accordance with the California Privacy Rights Act.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not use automated decision-making technologies that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review. Tenant applicant screening involves credit scoring and background screening services that produce a recommendation, but every adverse decision is reviewed by a human and follows the Fair Credit Reporting Act adverse-action procedure. You have the right to know about and object to profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects under several state privacy statutes; submit any objection using the contact information at the end of this Policy.
Identity Verification for Privacy Requests
To protect your information from unauthorized access, we verify the identity of any person requesting access, deletion, correction, or portability of personal information. The verification process depends on the sensitivity of the information requested and may include matching information you have on file with us, asking you to confirm a recent transaction, or requiring a copy of government-issued identification with non-essential fields redacted. We do not retain identification documents longer than necessary to verify the request and to retain a record of the verification.
If you are submitting a request through an authorized agent, we may also verify the agent’s authority by requiring a notarized power of attorney, a signed written authorization, or proof that the agent is registered with the California Secretary of State.
Notice of Financial Incentive
We do not offer financial incentives in exchange for the collection, sale, or retention of personal information. If we ever do, we will provide notice and obtain opt-in consent in accordance with applicable law.
Data Subject Requests Outside the United States
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with comprehensive data-protection law, you may have additional rights, including the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. We will respond to verified requests in accordance with applicable law within thirty (30) days, with one possible extension of up to sixty (60) days where the request is complex or numerous.
Sources and Categories of Disclosure (Statutory Disclosure)
For purposes of California Civil Code § 1798.130, the following disclosures apply for the prior twelve (12) months. We collect categories A (identifiers), B (customer records), D (commercial information), F (internet activity), G (geolocation), I (professional and employment-related information), K (inferences), and L (sensitive personal information). Sources include directly from you, automatically through your interaction with our Site, from public records, from credit-reporting agencies, from background-check vendors, from advertising networks, from referral partners, and from our service providers. We disclose these categories for business purposes to service providers, professional advisors, project participants (lenders, investors, contractors, design professionals), and governmental authorities. We have not sold personal information for monetary consideration in the prior twelve months.
