It is HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's policy to respect and protect the privacy of visitors to HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's website. Accordingly, HOME BUILDERS NETWORK DOES NOT extract without permission personal information about its visitors or their computer at any time while on HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's website. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK will, however, analyze information about our visitors as a group to make our website better, but visitors are not individually identified when we do this.
HOME BUILDERS NETWORK will collect personal information such as names, home addresses, e-mail addresses, age, etc., but only when a visitor voluntarily gives it to us in the process of ordering subscriptions to the HOME BUILDERS NETWORK newsletters or registering with the HOME BUILDERS NETWORK website. This information is used internally by HOME BUILDERS NETWORK to fulfill your requests and for marketing and research purposes. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK will NOT sell, rent or give a visitor's personal information to any third party unless HOME BUILDERS NETWORK asks for and receives the visitor's permission at the time the personal information is collected. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK does however, share aggregate information about the users of HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's website with our advertisers, business partners, sponsors and certain others. As mentioned above, this aggregate information is used to develop, improve and customize HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's website to better serve visitors to our website. Where MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM's information collection activities involve children, MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM provides special privacy protections.
HOME BUILDERS NETWORK is committed to protecting the online privacy of children. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), HOME BUILDERS NETWORK will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen (13) without first obtaining parental consent. Prior to providing any personally identifiable information (your name, email address, address, phone number etc.), either by placing an order for merchandise, setting up a MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM account, or participating in any other activity offered through the MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM site, children under the age of thirteen (13) must have a parent or legal guardian complete and return (by mail or fax) a Parental Consent Form to MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM - HOME BUILDERS NETWORK. The consent form states that the child's "Parent" or "Legal Guardian", by his or her signature, consents to the collection and transfer of the child's personally identifiable information. Consent may be revoked by completing a "HOME BUILDERS NETWORK Revocation of Parental Consent Form" and sending it to the address or fax number above.
In compliance with COPPA, HOME BUILDERS NETWORK is sensitive about children consulting with parents or guardians before furnishing personal information or ordering anything online. It's also HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's intention to adhere to the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) Guidelines on Internet advertising with its special sensitivities regarding solicitations to children under thirteen (13). HOME BUILDERS NETWORK encourages parents/guardians to supervise and join their children in exploring cyberspace. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK is proud of its website and believes that it is suitable for HOME BUILDERS NETWORK fans of all ages.
Please note that if a parent does not permit MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM's use or collection of personally identifiable information or has instructed HOME BUILDERS NETWORK to delete personally identifiable information, a child's participation in those MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM activities for which the personally identifiable information has been requested may not be possible.
HOME BUILDERS NETWORK will not disclose information collected from children under the age of thirteen (13) (or from adults for that matter) to third parties unless indicated otherwise or in special cases where HOME BUILDERS NETWORK has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (whether intentionally or unintentionally) with HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's rights or property or anyone else who may be harmed by such actions or if required by law.
HOME BUILDERS NETWORK recommends that parents/guardians monitor and supervise the online activities of their children and to consider using available parental control tools which can prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission. Visitors to HOME BUILDERS NETWORK's website who are under thirteen (13) years old should not be submitting any personal information like their name, address, e-mail address, phone number etc. without a parent's or guardian's permission.
HOME BUILDERS NETWORK uses "cookie" technology to enhance a visitor's online experience by making it easier to navigate through our website or to make an activity work better.
Cookies are small pieces of information or files that a website puts on a computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow a computer to "remember" information from our website for future use. The use of cookies is an industry standard and is practiced by most major websites.

MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM may request feedback from visitors regarding an activity or piece of content on the MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM website. Feedback is used for internal purposes only, and any personally identifiable information that is accidentally submitted is deleted.
MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM may include advertisements and/or links to websites operated by third parties that are not sponsors and are not affiliated with HOME BUILDERS NETWORK. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK tries to make sure that when there are links off the HOME BUILDERS NETWORK website, they are working and lead visitors to interesting, fun and informative areas. However, it is hard to guarantee what exactly is presented on other sites or where links elsewhere may lead. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK is not responsible for the content, practices, or information provided or requested on websites operated by third parties.

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with MYHOMEBUILDERSNETWORK.COM visitors is of utmost concern to us. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK exercises great care and implements a variety of technologies to make the HOME BUILDERS NETWORK website as secure as possible against unauthorized access and to protect the information visitors choose to provide to us. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK periodically reviews and updates these measures. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) secure. As a result, while HOME BUILDERS NETWORK strives to protect a visitor's personal information, HOME BUILDERS NETWORK can not ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us or from our online products or services, and a visitor does so at his/her own risk. HOME BUILDERS NETWORK uses the industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption when credit card information is transmitted to us.
