UMH Properties, Inc. (“UMH”) is committed to your right to privacy and to keeping your personal information private.
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) pertains to information collected through this website and online services (collectively, the “Websites”) hosted by UMH and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “UMH”) and by third parties on UMH’s behalf. It does not pertain to information collected in other manners or offline.
The Websites may contain hyperlinks to other unaffiliated websites that may have information policies and practices different from ours. We have no control over those websites, are not responsible for their privacy policies, practices or content, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them.
How We Collect Your Information
UMH collects certain personal information about you whenever you send an email to UMH or complete one of our online forms on our Websites. The personal information you provide can identify you and your business, and includes such items as your name, your employer’s name, email and U.S. mail address, and office and home telephone and fax numbers.
Personal Information
You may provide us with personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) when you use the Websites by explicitly providing this information to us. Personal Information includes any information by which you can be personally identified, and may include your name, address, age, date of birth, electronic mail address, occupation, employment information, telephone number, education, credit card number, and other similar information.
Automatic Data
We may record information about your computer and/or track your activity while you are using the Websites. For example, we may record how many times you click on a hyperlink, determine whether you visited the Websites from a particular Internet link or advertisement, or track your path through the Websites. This automatic data (“Automatic Data”) collection may include but may not be limited to information collected by cookies, IP addresses, log data, browser data, and transparent GIFs.
UMH may collect or log other information about you when you visit our website. This information may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and your domain name. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) computer through which you access the Internet, and a domain name is the name of the ISP computer itself through which you access the Internet. UMH may log IP addresses and domain names and aggregate them for system administration and to monitor the use of our website. UMH, or a third party on its behalf, may use the aggregated information, for example, to measure the number of visits to our website, the average time spent on our website, the number of pages viewed and to monitor various other website statistics. UMH, or a third party on its behalf, may also collect personal and company information that you provide by filling out one of our online forms. If you have subscribed to receive updates on the Subscribe section of the Websites, we may send you, via email, press releases, SEC filings, or other information requested that have been posted to our Websites. If you do not wish to receive these communications from us, please unsubscribe by using our automated system within the Subscribe section of the Websites.
Some of our online content, such as advertisements, may be provided by third parties that may collect Automatic Data regarding your online activity. Information collected by third parties is subject to their own privacy policies and UMH is not responsible for their privacy policies, practices or content.
Contacting UMH Through Email
If you have a question or comment about UMH, our Websites or the Websites’ content, you may contact us by any of the ways listed on the Contact section on our Websites. Please be aware that any submission to and/or communication with UMH is subject to our Terms of Use, and your submission indicates your acceptance of the Terms of Use. UMH’s Terms of Use are also available on the Websites. Depending on the subject matter, however, you may prefer not to communicate with UMH through email. UMH is not presently a data secure website. Hence, information sent on the Internet by email may not have sufficient security features to prevent it from being intercepted and read by an unauthorized person. In addition, this Privacy Policy does not protect you when you send business information, ideas, concepts, inventions or other proprietary type of information to UMH by email.
How We Use and Share Your Information
UMH uses the information you have provided to it in an online form to respond to your request for information about UMH or comments you may have about its Websites, for its management or Board of Directors, its governance practices or other services provided by UMH. If you so request, you may be added to our email distribution list. UMH does not provide personal information to third parties for their sale or use. UMH will, however, disclose personal information to comply with valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order, or to protect its rights and property or the property or personal safety of another user of the Websites or any member of the public.
Changing or Deleting Your Email Address and Other Information
All information that you provide to UMH is collected and stored automatically at the time that you provide your information. Currently, UMH does not offer anyone, including you, the ability to edit your information. If you would like to edit your information, please remove your information from UMH’s Subscribe list and resubmit your information in the Subscribe section or other online forms on the Websites.

Removal of Your Information From Our Website
UMH will attempt to honor your written request to delete personal information about you from its system. You should be aware, however, that it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you may have provided to UMH from its servers. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for UMH to locate.
How Your Information Is Protected
UMH will take steps it deems reasonably necessary to protect the information you provide to it. UMH reviews from time to time its security procedures and mechanisms to ensure that adequate protections are in place. Our Websites may contain links to other websites. UMH is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of these other websites. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions and privacy policy of those websites.
Information Security
Due to the design of the Internet, no method of transmission over the Internet or mobile device is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be absolutely secure or free from unauthorized access by third parties.
