We also use “cookies†to customize content specific to your interests, to ensure that you do not see the same advertisement repeatedly and to store your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site.
Personal Information. Personal information is defined as any information about an identifiable individual, including information that may be reasonably used to identify an individual, locate or contact an individual, for example, a first and last name, an email address, a home, postal or other physical address, telephone number, etc. In an effort to provide you with an efficient and pleasurable experience at the Site, WBC may collect the following types of personal information and other information from you: (1) information which permits us to communicate with you, such as your first and last name, email address, home, postal or other physical address, telephone number, or fax number; (2) information that helps us understand what types of products interest you, e.g., your gender or affiliation with any company or organizations; (3) information which shows us how you interact on the Site, for example, which products you view and purchase; and (4) your financial account information such as your credit card number, the expiration date and card verification number, or other payment information, such as your debit card, or checking account information, as needed.

Cookies and Tracking Technology. When you visit our Site, we collect certain information by means of technologies such as "cookies." A "cookie" is a piece of information that is transferred to your hard drive when you visit our Site, which automatically affiliates your browser to our server whenever you interact with our Site. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. WBC may use "cookie" technology to improve your online experience.

The environment variables WBC gathers include time, the type of Web browser being used, the operating system/platform, and CPU speed.

when we have your consent to share the information;

when we need to send your information to companies who work on behalf of WBC to provide a service to you (we will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose);
if required or advised to do so by law;
to prevent or mitigate a fraud or credit risk;
to affect a proposed or actual sale (including a liquidation, realization, foreclosure or repossession), merger, amalgamation, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, shares or otherwise) of all or a portion of our business in order for you to continue to receive the same products and services from the third party;
to protect and defend our rights, property, and this Site; or
to act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety or the public.
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms that we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at info@webuildclosets.com.
Opt-Out. By providing us your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Site-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail.

We may also use your email address to send you other messages, including changes to features of the Site and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by emailing us at info@webuildclosets.com. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.
Data Security. WBC takes commercially reasonable efforts to protect the security of the information you send to us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. Specifically, WBC uses firewalls, encryption technology and cryptographic protocols to provide security over the Internet, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for all financial transactions conducted on the Site. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information that you transmit to us, and encourage you to take every precaution to protect your personal information when you are on the Internet.
We may use certain information about you and/or your User Content without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Site is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing advertisements and promotions.
We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor the User Content you post on the site. We have the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation, if in our sole opinion, such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or to protect or defend its rights or property or those of any third party. We also reserve the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.
Children's Privacy. We are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet. We want you and your family to be safe while visiting our Site. We do not knowingly request personally identifiable information from any child. We urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their child's online activities. No one under the age of 13 should submit any personal information to us without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you have any questions about our treatment of a child's personal information, please contact us at: info@webuildclosets.com
Sharing of Personal Information. Persons under eighteen (18) years of age (or the legal age to enter into contracts in your jurisdiction, of older) are not permitted to use the Site, and so this privacy policy makes no provision for their use of the Site.

As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or stock of other companies. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of WBC, our users or others.
We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for our Sites.
We allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements on the Site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Site. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content.
We do not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks us to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. Our privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such advertisers.
The Site utilizes the services of a number of third-parties to perform certain key functions of the Site, including receipt of disbursement of all funds related to purchases on the Site, and other matters. The Site will disclose your Personal Information to these third-parties in order to facilitate the Site and you consent to all such disclosures.
We may disclose your Personal Information to:
our affiliated companies;
non-affiliated third parties that perform services, such as marketing or market research, on our behalf (e.g., we may provide your name, address, phone number, or e-mail address to vendors that send our e-mail or regular mail);

third parties in connection with the proposed or actual financing, insuring, sale, securitization, assignment or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets (including accounts) for the purposes of evaluating and performing the proposed transaction.
We require that commercial entities (as described above) with which we share your Personal Information agree to keep your information confidential. We also prohibit those entities from using or disclosing your information except for a limited purpose and to the persons for whom disclosure was intended, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. Service providers to whom we disclose personal information must agree to contractual requirements consistent with our privacy and security policies. We prohibit our service providers from using personal information except for the specific purpose for which we provide it to them, and require them to comply with legal obligations applicable to the personal information at issue.
Generally, the Personal Information that we collect from you will be stored in the United States and other countries, which may have different privacy laws and standards than those in your country of residence. Your personal information may be transferred to or processed in the United States by us or a third-party service provider working for us, or for one of our affiliates or suppliers. By submitting Personal Information via our website or other means, you agree to such storage, transfers and processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to treat your Personal Information securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
It is important to note that some or all of your Personal Information provided to third-party service providers may be held in countries other than your own, including in particular the United States. You acknowledge and understand that your Personal Information will be subject to the applicable laws of each such jurisdiction, which may not provide for the same protection as your country of residence. For example, government entities in the United States and other countries may have certain legislative rights to access your Personal Information.
Confidentiality and Security of Personal Information. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with third parties, unless such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; or (c) enforce our Terms of Use. Your Personal Information is stored on secure servers that are not accessible by third parties. We provide you with the capability to transmit your Personal Information via secured and encrypted channels if you use a similarly equipped web browser.
We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from WBC, at all times.
Compromise of Personal Information. In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
