primary purpose of this site is to share information. When you make product

identifying you and your selections to your builder. This is the only time
personally identifiable information collected on this site will be
intentionally transmitted to a third party.

to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

In order to use this site you must complete a registration
form. In filling out this registration form you are required to provide some
personal information, for example name, email address and annual income. We
only will use this information in the manner described by this policy and to
enable you to communicate effectively with your builder.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. We will only use
cookies to track user session numbers. Once you have completed your work on
this site and forwarded all of your requests to your builder, the cookie will
terminate.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to administer the site, track users’
movement, analyze trends, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Sharing
While no personally identifiable information that is
collected on this site will be disclosed, other than to your builder, general
information about users of this site and selections made through this site will
be aggregated. That aggregate information, which does not contain any
personally identifiable information, will be shared with the manufacturers,
builders, retailers, vendors, wholesalers and others who are interested in
trends in the housing industry. For example, we may tell oven manufacturers
which style of oven is most popular in certain geographic areas or among
families of a certain income level.
As part of the registration process for using this site you
are asked if you want to be kept informed of free information regarding your
new home purchase. We will keep you so informed by forwarding to you offers and
information from manufacturers, builders, retailers, vendors, and wholesalers.
The manufacturers, builders, retailers, vendors, and wholesalers will not email
you directly. We will not intentionally share your email address with the
