What Personal Information About Users Does HouseDNA Services Gather?
The information we learn from users helps us personalize
and continually improve your experience at www.HouseDNA services.com. Here are the
types of information we gather.
-
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on
our Web site or give us in any other way.
Click here to
see examples of what we collect. You can choose not to provide certain information,
but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use
the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests,
improving the site, and communicating with you.
-
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies,"
and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses www.HouseDNA.com
services.com. A number of companies
offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at www.HouseDNA.com services.com
if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
-
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting,
we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from HouseDNA
Services if your computer supports such capabilities.
-
Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from
other sources and add it to our information.
What About Cookies?
-
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to
provide various features.
-
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your
browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you
receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you may not
be able to use certain features on this site if you do not use cookies, and we recommend that you keep them turned on.
Does HouseDNA
Services Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an
important part of
our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer
information only as described
below and with HouseDNA .com (Architectural Investment,
Inc.) and the
subsidiaries it controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice
or follow practices
at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
-
Use of Third Party Service Providers: We may, from time to time, employ other
companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal
mail and e-mail. They have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions, but may not use it for other
purposes.
-
Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of HouseDNA Services customers on behalf of other
businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.
-
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell
or buy subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, user information generally
is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made
in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the user consents otherwise).
Also, in the unlikely event that HouseDNA
Services, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, user information
will of course be one of the transferred assets.
-
Protection of HouseDNA Services and
Others: We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate
to comply with the law; enforce or apply our
Conditions of Use
and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of HouseDNA Services, our users, or others. This
includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud
protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include
selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information
from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth
in this Privacy Notice.
-
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when
information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
What Choices and Access Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though
it might be needed to request information about HouseDNA
Services or take advantage of a feature on this site.

other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still
govern your use of www.HouseDNA services.com, and it is your responsibility to review
