Information Collection and Use
Builder's Book, Inc., is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Builder's Book collects information from our users at several different points in the Site.

Registration
In order to use some portions of this Site, a user must first provide name and address information. During product ordering, for example, a user is required to give their contact information (such as name, company information, physical address and e-mail address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest, and to ensure that those items that they have ordered may be shipped without error. It is sometimes optional for the user to provide demographic and geographic information (such as job title, job responsibilities, etc.), but we encourage all users to provide as much of the optional information as they are comfortable so that we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

Cookies
The Site makes minimal use, if any, of so-called "cookies." Any cookies we use are for the sole purpose to expedite ordering, and are initiated only after you have selected a product to place in your shopping cart. The site may in the future increase its use of cookies; at that time, all active visitors to the service will be notified of this change in our policy.

Web Server Log Files
We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track patterns of user movement through the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information, and we make no effort to do so. We use such information to help us improve navigation methods, develop content which meets the interests of the greatest numbers of users, and to identify any other areas for improvement or development.

Sharing
We may share aggregated usage and demographic information with our business partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person or company.

In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our users, it is occasionally necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources. For example, In order for this website to enhance its ability to tailor the site to an individual’s preferences and to provide information and services that meet and even anticipate our users' needs, we combine information about the information needs of our users with similar information from our partner companies and from third-party sources, to create a generalized user profile. Information we contribute to this process is aggregated usage and demographic information only. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person or company.

Newsletters, E-mail Services and Information Requests
If a user wishes to subscribe to any of our e-mail services, such as an e-mail newsletter, or if you request a printed catalog, we ask for contact information such as name, e-mail address and mailing address.

Surveys & Contests

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our online checkout system is accessed, you are transferred to our secure web servers, so that information you provide is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the yellow lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. On a regular basis, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, in our hosting company's secured facilities.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this webpage so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances, if any, we might disclose it.

If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we may use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
