We collect this information so we can provide you with the appropriate service and offer personalised features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You post User Content (as defined in the Builtfast Homes Terms) on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information.

Use of Information Obtained by Builtfast Homes

When you register with Builtfast Homes, you create your profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name, email and photo, may be displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with people on Builtfast Homes. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Builtfast Homes that we think you may find valuable. Profile information is used by Builtfast Homes to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., posting to your profile or comments), other Builtfast Homes users may be able to supplement your comments. Profile information you submit to Builtfast Homes will be available to users of Builtfast Homes who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings (e.g., school, geography, friends of friends). Your name, network name, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across Builtfast Homes and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third-party search engines. This is primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your profile information unless they have a relationship with you (friend, a friend of a friend, a member of your networks, etc.) that allows such access based on your privacy settings.

Builtfast Homes may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or someone posts on your wall, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt-out of such emails from the Notifications page, though Builtfast Homes reserves the right to send you a notice about your account even if you opt-out of all voluntary email notifications. Builtfast Homes may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people are in a network like a band or a movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you with Builtfast Homes. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you, and, where there are advertisements, they’re more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favourite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don’t tell the movie company who you are. We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, and instant messaging services, to supplement your profile.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

Builtfast Homes is about sharing information with other friends and people in your network while providing you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to friends and networks through Builtfast Homes. Our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We do not provide contact information to third-party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required,, and 3) permitted by you. For example, third-party search engine “crawlers” (e.g., Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask) will only have access to site information as shown on the Builtfast Homes website.

We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as hosting the service at a co-location facility for servers, sending out email updates about Builtfast Homes, removing repetitive information from our user lists, processing payments for products or services, or providing search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for a limited time. Where we utilise third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to Builtfast Homes specified purposes.

We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse into the Builtfast Homes world. Such accounts have limited capabilities (e.g., messaging is disabled), and passwords are changed regularly to limit possible misuse. We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share accounts or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Builtfast Homes service or using the Builtfast Homes name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents, or government agencies. We will let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through on-site offers. We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on Builtfast Homes. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided by Builtfast Homes, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.

Like many other websites that interact with third-party sites, we may receive some information even if you are logged out from Builtfast Homes, or that pertains to non-Builtfast Homes users, from those sites in conjunction with the technical operation of the system. In cases where Builtfast Homes receives information on users that are not logged in, or on non-Builtfast Homes users, we do not attempt to associate it with individual Builtfast Homes accounts and will discard it. If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Builtfast Homes, or individual business units owned by Builtfast Homes were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use Builtfast Homes, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g., a friend or someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos, or other information, may be shared with other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos, or other items, this information may become publicly available.

Links

Builtfast Homes may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Builtfast Homes.

Third-Party Advertising

Advertisements that appear on Builtfast Homes are sometimes delivered (or “served”) directly to users by third-party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third-party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer or use other technologies, such as JavaScript, to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognise your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. Builtfast Homes does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by third-party advertisers. Third-party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on Builtfast Homes unless you choose to share it with them.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Builtfast Homes and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Changing or Removing Information

Access and control over most personal information on Builtfast Homes are readily available through the profile editing tools. Builtfast Homes users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their accounts. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their Builtfast Homes account may do so on Your Profile Page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of Builtfast Homes.

Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on Builtfast Homes, however, (e.g., sending a personal message to another Builtfast Homes user), you generally cannot remove such communications.

Security

Builtfast Homes takes appropriate precautions to protect our users’ information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as your credit card number or your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. (To learn more about SSL, go to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer). Because email and instant messaging are not recognised as secure communications, we request that you do not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of the Builtfast Homes Web Site, please contact us at hello@builtfasthomes.com.au

Your use of Builtfast Homes and any disputes arising from it are subject to this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Use and all of their dispute resolution provisions, including arbitration, limitation on damages, and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time without notice and at our discretion. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and indicate at the top of this page the policy’s new effective date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through a notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
