We take the privacy and security of your non public sensitive information seriously, and think it is important that you understand:
• What information we collect, and how we collect it
• How we use information we collect
• With whom we share information
• What choices you have regarding the use of the information
• The types of security we use to protect your information.
Terms of art used in this privacy policy are shown in bold face type and are defined near the end of this privacy policy.
What information we collect and how we collect it:
We collect anonymous and personal information as a normal part of normal operations on this web site. We automatically collect anonymous non personal information from every visitor to the site as do most other companies on their web sites. We also collect both public and non public personally identifiable information, and sensitive information if you request information about a product or service.
Non personal information:
We automatically track and collect traffic data. Traffic data is information that does not identify you personally but may include the IP address of the computer you use to access our Web site, the URL of the domain name server you use, aggregate statistical information about what Web pages people access or visit on our Web site, and other similar types of information that help us administer our site, improve the content of our Web site, improve our service offerings.
We use cookies to store your personal preferences, record session information such as items that you add to your shopping cart, record user specific information on what pages you access or visit in order to provide better service to you when you return to our site, alert you to new areas that we think might be of interest to you when you return to our site, ensure that you are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, and customize Web page content based on your browser type or other information that your computer sends to our servers.
No sensitive information is revealed in the collection and tracking process. We do share traffic and transactional information with our affiliates and service providers on an aggregate and anonymous basis for marketing and accounting purposes.
Personal Information:
In order for you to access many of the services offered on this site, you may be required to provide us with personal information, such as your contact information and payment information, including:
• Name
• Street or postal address
• E mail address (only if you communicate with us via e-mail)
• Phone number
• Payment information (e.g., credit or debit card number and billing address).
Personally identifiable contact information is similar to information that may be published in a phone book or directory. This information is used to identify you, complete transactions for services or products you request, facilitate requests for subsequent products or services; and for customer service fulfillment. Personal information is shared with service providers with your consent.
Personal information may also include other data that does not identify you personally such as:
• Information on the pages you access or visit, to enable us to focus our offerings on areas of interest to you; and
• Survey information, to improve the content of our Web page.
Third-Party Information Collection:
To present offers that may be of interest to you, we have relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to our site, these ad server companies may collect information such as your domain type, your IP address and clickstream data.
Sensitive information:
Service providers may require you to provide them with personal, non public, sensitive information so that they can determine your eligibility for the services they offer via this website, such as your:
• Social security number
• Date of Birth
• Debit or credit card number, expiration date and card security code.
The only sensitive information we ever will request from you would be your debit or credit card number, expiration date and card security code, and then only if you purchase a product or service directly from us. Sensitive information you provide us is immediately encrypted and securely transmitted to our payment processor. We do not sell, rent or otherwise share your personal, non public sensitive information with third parties unless otherwise detailed in this policy statement.
How Long We Keep Information:
We keep some of the information we obtain from your interactions on our site:
• Non-personal, non-sensitive tracking and traffic data is stored in our log files for 90 days to enable us to better respond to the interests of each visitor to the site, and for system and security monitoring purposes.
• Non sensitive information you provide us on becoming a Remodeleze member, such as personal information used for marketing, accounting and transactional purposes, may be kept indefinitely.
• Although returning users will find that some on line forms will be automatically filled in with non sensitive personally identifiable information, returning users will have to re enter a password when it is required for a transaction.

We use your e mail address to:
• Identify you as a remodeleze.com member

• If you post a photograph of yourself, be aware that facial recognition and photo tagging software is available to the general public that would enable a person to scan the posted photograph and to then search for other photographs of you on other social networking sites and elsewhere, which may disclose information about you that you would not want visitors to this web site (including prospective clients) to have.
• If you are a contractor and post photographs of a completed job, unless you have the written consent of your client to disclose the client’s name in your marketing materials, you should not disclose the client’s name in your postings to this web site (e.g., the “Jones Kitchen”), to avoid the risk of exposing your client to possible identity theft.

Encryption

Encryption provides privacy for e-mail and other communications as they move over networks.
