Types of Information Collected
When you enter and view this site and related sites, we collect two types of information. Some personally identifiable information is gathered when you voluntarily input data into the sites; for example when you register as a user, enter a site feedback form, post content in discussion forums, or list property information. The information collected includes, without limitation, your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and user type (i.e., broker, seller, purchaser, etc.).
We may also track or collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you view the sites, including without limitation, your IP address and your URL. This information is collected in the aggregate, in an effort to offer customized and personalized on-line services. To reach this end, pointecompanies.com uses cookies to store information. Using cookies also allows us to contact you when we have properties or information you have requested or may be interested in receiving. Cookies help us to make the Web Site better for our users by allowing us to track activity in certain areas of the Web Site and to learn how to better improve our service and the features offered on our Web Site.
Use of Information Collected
The information we collect is used to improve our Web Site, to notify users about updates to the Web Site or other information, and to contact users for marketing purposes. We use the information you provide about yourself or your organization as part of our research efforts to provide you and other users of the Web Site a personalized experience. Pointe Company researches our users’ demographics based on information provided during registration, server log files, surveys, e-mails, and any other user-provided information. To learn which areas of the Web Site are most frequently visited by certain types of users and to continually improve the Web Site, Pointe Company tracks the user type and time spent in certain areas of the Web Site. We do this to better understand and better serve our users. Pointe Company may share user data with advertisers, business partners, or related entities, but Pointe Company will not track or collect any information input by users when drafting and saving documents or project-related data.
PointeCompany may send you e-mail or direct mailings regarding our services or other offers or information that may be of interest to you.

You may, at any time, opt-out of certain, but not all, offers or mailings by writing to [email protected], or to Pointe Companies.com System Administrator, 1135 Kane Concourse – 3rd Floor, Bay Harbour Islands, Florida 33154. Users are not able to opt-out or unsubscribe from service announcements, which contain updates and other information about the Web Site. While we will use our best efforts to honor users’ requests to opt-out of marketing messages, in no event will Pointe Company or its affiliates or agents have any liability for sending any e-mail to its registered users.
Pointe Company may disclose your account information when we believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact, or initiate legal action against someone who may be violating Pointe Company or one of its affiliates’ web site’s terms of use, or may be interfering with any of PointeCompanies’s rights or property, other Pointe Companies.com users, or anyone else to whom PointeCompanies may disclose account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires its disclosure, and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
