What information is collected

We collect information you choose to give us on our websites, chat widgets, and forms, including name, email address, phone number, company, mailing address, message details, homesite or tour interest, SMS consent choices, the page where you opted in, the time of that choice, and technical information such as browser type, referring page, IP address, cookies, and form source or advertising parameters.

How data is used

We use this information to respond to your inquiry, send requested pricing or lot details, schedule tours, follow up on appointments, operate the community sales process, improve our website, measure advertising, and (only if you opt in) send marketing updates about homesite availability, pricing, and community events.

SMS opt-in details

You may opt in to text messages by checking one or both optional, unchecked boxes on the website forms at https://pineforestoakisland.com/contact/ and https://pineforestoakisland.com/lots/. Transactional texts include inquiry follow-ups and tour or appointment confirmations and reminders. Marketing texts include homesite availability, pricing updates, and community events. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out. Consent is not a condition of purchase. See our Terms of Service.

Clear ‘No sharing’ statement about SMS opt-ins

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Cookie & tracking info

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand how visitors use our forms and pages. You can control cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site features. We do not use cookie data to send SMS.

Necessary cookies run the site, remember your privacy choice, and protect forms. Analytics and advertising tags, including Google Tag Manager, stay off until you allow them in the privacy banner. You can change that choice any time with Your Privacy Choices at the bottom left of the page. Pages with a form may also load Google reCAPTCHA to block spam. Our housing survey is first-party: it runs on this website and stores answers only when you submit.

Data security practices

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including HTTPS, access controls, and limited employee access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If we become aware of a breach that affects your information, we will notify you as required by law.

User rights (unsubscribe, update info, etc.)

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To unsubscribe from text messages, reply STOP. To unsubscribe from marketing email, use the unsubscribe link in the message. To update your information or request deletion, use our contact form or call (910) 363-2711.

How we share information

When you ask for home plans, home pricing, apartment rentals, assisted living, the medical office clinic, or the property owners association, Pine Forest Development Company shares the contact details you gave us with the community partner who provides that information. We share them only so that partner can respond to the request you made. Each partner is associated with Pine Forest of Oak Island and provides its own details and information. We never sell your contact details. We use your information only to service your request and to provide the information best suited to your needs.

We also share information with service providers who help us operate our website, email, forms, chat, and customer relationship tools. Those parties may only use the information to perform services for us. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, residents, or visitors. The same sharing terms are on our Terms of Service.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiry and consent records for as long as needed to complete your request, meet legal and carrier record-keeping requirements, and honor opt-out requests.

California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you may ask us to know, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of “sharing” for cross-context advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. If you allow advertising cookies, that can be “sharing” under California law. Use Your Privacy Choices at the bottom left of any page, or the contact form, or call (910) 363-2711. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. You may use an authorized agent if you provide proof of permission. We aim to respond within 45 days.

Categories we may collect: identifiers (name, email, phone, mailing address), commercial information (housing preferences and inquiry details), internet activity (pages visited, referral, and advertising parameters if you allow those cookies), and approximate location inferred from an IP address. We collect this from you, from your browser, and from service providers. We use it to answer your inquiry, send texts only if you opt in, secure the site, and, if you allow them, measure traffic or show advertising. We do not collect government ID numbers, precise GPS location, or medical records. A housing-support selection you make in the survey is used only to answer that inquiry, not for advertising.

California communications privacy (CIPA)

California’s Invasion of Privacy Act restricts intercepting or recording communications without consent. This website does not use session-replay software. The housing survey is operated by us. Your answers are stored on our systems and with our customer-service tools only after you submit the survey. We do not record phone calls through this website. Analytics and advertising scripts do not load until you allow them.

European visitors (GDPR)

Pine Forest Development Company LLC is the controller for personal information collected on this website. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our bases for processing are: your consent (survey storage, text messages, analytics, and advertising), steps you ask us to take before you buy or rent, and our legitimate interests in securing the site and answering a request you sent us. You may withdraw consent at any time. You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of your information, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. We are in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States. We do not make solely automated decisions that produce legal effects about you.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Text opt-in is only for people 18 or older.
