SOCIAL BUTTONS
On the website you will see ‘social buttons’. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages on this site on websites outside of this one. In order to do this, the social buttons require the user to either already be logged into a social network or to log into a social network. This connects the user to an external site, therefore adding scripts from domains outside of Henderson Homes. In most cases these websites will be able to identify you and will have access to your personally identifiable information.
You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on the Henderson Homes website. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information.
In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting the Henderson Homes website and the specific pages you have visited, even if you don’t click on the social button but are already logged into their services from a previous session (e.g. Google and Facebook). You should check the respective policies of social network websites to see how they track you online and how they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information. It is advisable to always log out of a social media network when you leave the website at the end of a session.
EXTERNAL WEB SERVICES
We use a number of external web services (or plug ins) on the website, mostly to display content within our web pages, allow a user to contact us through an enquiry form, view a map showing the location of our offices or improve the load time of our images and content therefore improving the user experience. These plug ins are developed by third parties.
For example to show our Twitter stream we might use a Twitter widget, to improve the loading speed of our website we might use a cache widget and to display lots of detailed images we might use a ‘slider’ widget. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we use, or might use in the future, but these are the most common.
As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these third parties, or their associated external domains, from collecting information on you and how you are using the website. If you are not logged in to external services/websites (such as Google, Facebook, Linked In or other social media accounts) then they are less likely to be able to identify but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, downloads, location etc.
If you have any concerns about the information any of these services may be collecting about you or how they might use it you should cease using the website immediately or should visit it in your browsers anonymous mode.

Those sites are not governed by this privacy policy and if you have questions about how a site uses your information you would be advised to check that site’s privacy statement.
