Privacy Policy
Buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address)
subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party. Period.
How we gather information from users:
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in
which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked
to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or
request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may
provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards
and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent
to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use
cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other
things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to
re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you
can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to
refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the
site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone. Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about
your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance
our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com and other
topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with
you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our
Web hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to
develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.
We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com expects its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site,
may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com page, certain content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com is not responsible for the actions or policies
of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use
cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services
operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com does not control the use of this technology
by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or
policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly
and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com and this policy.
Children
Buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by
law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of
this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe
buildyourownhome.americanhomecounsel.com has any information from or about anyone
under 13, please contact us at the address listed below.
