Construction Exchange Privacy policy
The effective date of this Agreement is July 1, 2007.
Construction Exchange is an online application that helps people connect with other people
in the construction industry. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, a "user" is defined as
someone using the Construction Exchange Site, and a "connection" is defined as someone
you have explicitly invited to connect with you. To fulfill the purpose of
our site, we need to display a limited amount of personal information, so that users
are able to evaluate the trustworthiness of a particular review.
By using Construction Exchange, you permit the collection and use of your personal
information as outlined below in our Privacy Policy. You should visit this page
periodically to review any changes to the Privacy Policy.
I. Information We Collect
Construction Exchange collects user submitted account information such as name and
email address to identify you and send you notifications related to the use of the
service. Construction Exchange also collects user submitted location information
such as city, state or zip. Construction Exchange also collects user submitted photos,
work history and other career-related data.
Some information collected is not explicitly submitted by the user; we log your
browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and
timestamp.
II. How We Use Your Information
Browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and
timestamp data help us diagnose problems with our server, administer Construction
Exchange, and otherwise provide the highest possible level of service to you. In
addition, we use this information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior
and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas
of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number
of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, their advertising banners.
III. Transfer of Information
We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event of a transfer
of ownership of Construction Exchange, such as an acquisition by or merger with
another company. In such an event, Construction Exchange will notify you before
information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy
policy.
IV. Links
Our website may contain links to third party websites to which we have no affiliation.
Construction Exchange does not share your personal information with those websites
and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy
polices on these third party websites.
V. Use of Cookies
Like most websites, Construction Exchange requires cookies to function properly.
VI. Controlling Your Personal Information
You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
(e.g., user name, e-mail address) via messages, forums, postings, or in
other areas of the Construction Exchange site, that information, along with any
substantive information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and correlated
and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters
or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Construction Exchange.
Please do not post any personal information on the Construction Exchange site or
in other areas that you expect to keep private.
VII. Security
Your Construction Exchange account is password-protected. Construction Exchange
tries very hard to protect our users' information. We use industry standard measures
to protect your information that is stored within our database. We limit the access
to your information to those employees who need access to perform their job function
such as our customer service personnel.
You hereby acknowledge that Construction Exchange is not responsible for any intercepted
information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims
arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized
manner.
X. Terms and Modifications to this Privacy Statement
By using the website, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the site. Construction
Exchange may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If a material change is made
to this Privacy Policy and/or the way we use our users' personally identifiable
information, then we will post a prominent notice of the nature of such change on
the first page of this Privacy Policy and also on our home page. You are responsible
for reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of any
changes to it. Your continued use of the site indicates your assent to any changes
to this Privacy Policy.
