• Responding to an inquiry you have made via the website,
• To evaluate and conduct a business relationship with you,
• To send you promotional emails and marketing information relating to Building Digital services, if you have requested information from us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing. You can opt out of marketing information at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the email you have received from us.
How do we protect your personal information?
We employ commercially reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and management processes and procedures to safeguard and secure any personal information that we collect. Although Building Digital takes all precautions to safeguard any personal information collected, it cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with data, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access to your personal information will never occur.
Do we use cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
We use cookies to compile aggregate data (“Aggregated Data” means records which have been stripped of information potentially identifying customers and which have been manipulated or combined to provide generalized, anonymous information) to analyze website traffic and improve user experience. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
Do we disclose your personal information?
We will not trade, sell, or rent your personal information without your consent, but may share your personal information with our parent company, EllisDon Corporation, and may collect and/or provide aggregate statistics about Building Digital’s website and users to other parties such as website and/or IT providers.
By providing personal information through the Building Digital website, you are consenting to us processing and sharing your information in this way. Your personal information will only be shared with third parties if there is a requirement to do so and/or where required by law.
Building Digital expects third-party processors of your personal information to only use that information for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you, as well as respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the applicable law(s). All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes.
Third-Party Website Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on the Building Digital website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Any links to third-party websites from the Building Digital website are meant for your convenience only and do not in any way signify an endorsement by Building Digital of those websites, companies or content. Building Digital’s Privacy Policy does not apply to these outside websites.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. We adhere to generally accepted industry standards, including the use of appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards, to protect the personal information submitted to us. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security or confidentiality.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect, for example, changes in our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
