1. Introduction

Design Build Concepts (DBC) prides itself on professional communications that respect the privacy of our customers and visitors. In order to provide you with relevant information, and protect certain DBC information, we will at times request personal information from you as you navigate this Web site, and we will offer you opportunities to join specific e-mail lists. E-mail lists are 100 percent opt-in.

All e-mail addresses are kept in strict confidence and are used only for authorized communications. We won't allow others to invade your privacy, either. We do NOT sell, loan, lease or make our mailing lists available for any commercial purposes whatsoever. Any unauthorized use of our lists is prohibited, and all appropriate actions will be taken to prevent unauthorized use.

Please note that DBC provides links to third-party sites that may interest you. Those sites are not subject to this privacy policy. Please check the privacy policies of those sites before providing personal information to them.

2. Types of Information Collection

DBC collects information from visitors in several ways:

• Registration screens and online forms
• In the process of sales inquiries
• In e-mails sent to DBC from clients
• Through automated means such as communications protocols and cookies

DBC may receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself - the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), date and time. At this time our server will also query your computer to see if there are "cookies" previously set by designbuildconcepts.com to facilitate log in or other site navigation procedures.

Some parts of the DBC site use cookies to collect information about visitors' use of the Web site and to facilitate return visits. The information collected from cookies is tracked to enhance security and to improve the functionality of the Web site by avoiding duplicate data entry, facilitating navigation and increasing the relevance of content. Cookies on the site may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown, and membership information to access DBC's online communities. Some cookies used by designbuildconcepts.com may remain on the user's computer after they leave the Web site to make it easier for you to return to the site without re-entering identifying information.

While we don't offer an opt-out on the site for cookies, browsers do provide you with information and control over cookies. You can set your Web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used. You can also get information on the duration of the cookie, and to learn what server your information is being returned to. You then have the opportunity to accept or reject the cookie. Additionally, you may set your browser to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers. Users may generally disable the cookie feature on their browser without affecting their ability to use the site, except in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for transaction completion. Disabling cookies may make the process of accessing certain information from the site more lengthy as you will have to re-enter identifying information each time you wish to access.

3. How Information Is Used

DBC collects information from users for the following purposes:

To engage in transactions or communications. Name, address and e-mail may be collected and stored as part of the transaction history. The majority of the information collected under this category is business contact information.

As a result of information download. Users who download information may be contacted to confirm they did not experience problems in the download process. These communications are not subject to the general opt-out of marketing notices.
