Collection of Information

The information we collect about you depends on how you interact with us or use our Services. In this section, we describe the categories of information we collect and the sources of this information.

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information directly from you when you create an account, sign up to receive communications from us, join our waitlist, visit one of our properties, or contact us by phone, email, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information that we collect include your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you choose to provide. If you put down a deposit or make a purchase from us, we may work with a third-party payment processor to collect and process your payment information.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We obtain information from other sources. For example, we may collect information about you from our affiliates, business partners, service providers, and other third parties, or from publicly available sources. Additionally, if you create or log into your ICON account through a third-party platform, such as Google, we will have access to certain information from that platform, such as your name, profile picture, and email address, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such platform.

We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect. For example, we may infer the city where you live based on your IP address.

  • Third Party Partners: We may disclose your information with third party partners including brokerages, suppliers, construction, and building partners.
