Welcome to the New York Building Supply Network, owned and
produced by NYCBuildingSupply.com, Inc. and its subsidiary and affiliate
corporations, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as "New York
Building Supply"). All Products and Services on the New York Building Supply
Network (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) are made available subject to
this Privacy Policy. By using our Products and Services, you agree, without
limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy or any other
privacy or data collection policy applicable to any individual New York Building
Supply Network Web site and to receive any required legal notices regarding our
privacy practices through the continuous posting of a clear and conspicuous link
to the current version of this Privacy Policy throughout the New York Building
Supply Network near the bottom of most pages. If you become an inactive user, we
will adhere to the policies and practices as described in this Privacy Policy,
which may be revised from time to time.
Please note that the New York Building Supply Network contains links to other
sites and occasionally allows other sites to be co-branded with the New York
Building Supply name. Web sites that are linked to New York Building Supply
Network sites or carry the New York Building Supply brand for co-branding or
marketing purposes may have privacy policies which differ from that of the New
York Building Supply Network.
The New York Building Supply Network Privacy Policy discloses our privacy
practices and contains detailed information about the following:
- What information of yours does the New York Building
Supply Network collect?
- What organization is collecting the information?
- What are "cookies" and "Web beacons" and how does New
York Building Supply use them?
- How does the New York Building Supply Network use the
information?
- With whom does the New York Building Supply Network share
the information that is collected?
- Who Are Your Sponsors?
- What are the policies concerning advertising on the
New York Building Supply Network?
- What is the opt-out policy for the New York Building
Supply Network?
- What are the Policies Concerning New York Building
Supply Circles?
- What types of security procedures are in place to
protect
against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?
- How does the New York Building Supply Network comply
with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)?
- What are the policies concerning software downloads?
- What is Get Relevant?
- What you can do to better protect yourself on the
Internet?
Our goal is to become your favorite Internet destination by providing the
information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you. To
achieve this goal, the New York Building Supply Network must collect information
so we can understand what makes you different from its millions of other unique
users. While you are not required to register for any services on the New York
Building Supply Network, some Products and Services may not function properly or
may not be accessible unless you do.
Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous
or personally identifiable.
- New York Building Supply collects anonymous information, which
refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example,
New York Building Supply collects some information each time a visitor comes
to a NYC Building Supply Network site so we can improve the overall quality of
the visitor's online experience. NYC Building Supply collects the visitor's IP
address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from nyc building material.com or
nyc building materials.com), referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the
last Web page visited by a user before clicking over to a NYC Building Supply
Network site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a
Macintosh platform). NYC Building Supply also collects aggregate search terms
from its HotBot and NYC Building Supply search services for internal reporting
targeted advertising, and the NYC Building Supply 50 list of popular search
terms. NYC Building Supply collects this user information for purposes of
product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. In
addition, NYC Building Supply collects your responses to online surveys
displayed on the NYC Building Supply Network; these anonymous and optional
surveys will seek your opinions about the Products and Services or the
advertisements displayed on the NYC Building Supply Network. You do not have
to register with the NYC Building Supply Network before we can collect this
anonymous information.
- Personally identifiable information
refers to data that tells us
specifically who you are, such as your name and postal address, which may be
collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. NYC Building
Supply collects personal information in the following ways from different
parts of its network of Web sites:
| |
- NYC Building Supply Network Registration:
When you register to use one or more sites on the NYC Building Supply
Network, you provide NYC Building Supply with your name, postal address,
ZIP Code, email address, birth date, gender, telephone number, occupation,
marital status and other information. While not all of this data is
required for our services to function, we are better able to customize
your experience if you volunteer complete and accurate information. Users
who complete the registration process are given a NYC Building Supply
Network ID and can take full advantage of the many offerings across the
NYC Building Supply Network.
- Roofers -Roofing.com Registration:
When you register to use
Roofers -Roofing.com, you provide NYC Building Supply
with an email address, birth date, and ZIP Code. For members of the
majority of the NewYorkGeneralContractors.com communities, NYC Building Supply collects
your credit card information in connection with your payment for the
service. If you complete the
Roofers -Roofing..com questionnaire, NYC Building
Supply collects and posts all of your responses, plus the ZIP Code you
provide and any photos or images that you post. At the end of the
registration process, you are asked whether you are interested in
receiving information about certain topics that may be of interest; NYC
Building Supply collects your responses to those questions. Occasionally,
the "NewYorkGeneralContractors" of the community to which you belong may send a survey to
the community; if you answer the survey, NYC Building Supply collects your
survey responses.
- Other Registration: In
addition to registration for various services on the NYC Building Supply
Network, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including
when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by the NYC
Building Supply Network. As described
below, our
co-brand partners also ask for personal information. If you purchase
premium services we will ask for a valid credit card number. If you choose
not to provide the requested information, the NYC Building Supply Network
may not be able to offer you some of the personalized services that depend
on this type of information to function
- Correspondence: If you
contact the NYC Building Supply Network, we may keep a record of that
correspondence. We do not collect any email addresses of those who
communicate with the NYC Building Supply Network via email. We use the
information provided so that we may respond to the email.

NYC Building Supply reserves the right to collect certain information and store
it in connection with your account. This information includes information about
the different sites that you visit within the NYC Building Supply Network as
well as the time and frequency at which you visit them. This information also
includes the content that you transmit or post on the NYC Building Supply
Network. For further information about NYC Building Supply's policy on
maintaining transmitted or posted content, please see the NYC Building Supply
Network Terms and Conditions.
When you register for a service within the NYC Building Supply Network, that
information is generally collected and maintained solely by the NYC Building
Supply Network unless specifically stated otherwise at the point of collection.
If data is collected and/or maintained by any company other than NYC Building
Supply, we will tell you at the point of collection. If you do not want to share
your information with that company, you can choose not to use that service.
NYC Building Supply runs many promotions and sweepstakes across its Network.
These promotions may be sponsored or co-sponsored by third-party companies. Data
collected during a promotion is typically shared with the sponsor or co-sponsor.
NYC Building Supply will inform you at the point of collection whether or not we
are sharing your personal data as a result of your participation in a promotion
or sweepstakes. If you do not want to have the NYC Building Supply Network share
your data, you can choose not to participate in the promotion or sweepstakes.
Be aware that NYC Building Supply Network sponsors and other advertisers have
links on the Network that take you to external sites. Some of these sites may
collect personally identifiable information from you, and third-party
advertising networks for NYC Building Supply may use cookies
and Web beacons in their advertisements to collect certain information from
you. Please see Section 7 of this policy for more
information about advertising on the NYC Building Supply Network. While NYC
Building Supply hopes that all third parties involved adhere to our policies
regarding the privacy of our users, the NYC Building Supply Network Privacy
Policy does not cover third-party data collection practices and the NYC Building
Supply Network does not assume any responsibility for any actions of third
parties.
In addition to the personally identifiable information that NYC Building Supply
actively collects when you register, we also collect anonymous information
passively using cookies and Web beacons. This technology plays an
important role in making the Internet work, but there is much confusion among
Internet users about what cookies and Web beacons are and how they are used.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number
that is transferred from a Web site to the hard drive of your computer so that
the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its
activities on the Web site. This unique number identifies your Web browser to
our computer system whenever you visit one of the sites in the NYC Building
Supply Network. A cookie will not allow a Web site to learn any personally
identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have not
otherwise disclosed.
Cookies allow NYC Building Supply to automatically remember your Web browser
when you visit our Network of Web sites. To help serve you better, NYC Building
Supply generally uses cookies to:
- Allow us to deliver products and services more efficiently. By
storing certain registration and preference information on cookies or
associating cookies with registration, preference or profile information
stored on our computers, we can deliver products and services that use such
information more quickly and efficiently for more users. This information is
normally saved in an encrypted form that only NYC Building Supply can
interpret.
- Prevent others from using your account. On some NYC Building Supply
Network sites, cookies help us efficiently determine that only one user is
logged on under the same member name at a time.
- Measure statistics such as audience size and traffic patterns. This
information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your
personally identifiable information.
- Display advertisements. Cookies let us know whether a Web browser
has seen a particular advertisement (so we can show you a variety of material)
and count the number of advertisements displayed to a particular browser. We
also use cookies to customize the advertising you see based on non-personally
identifiable demographic information that you provide when you register.
Third-party advertising networks for NYC Building Supply may issue cookies on
the NYC Building Supply Network and other sites when serving advertisements.
The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most
major Web sites. It is possible to adjust your Web browser preferences to alert
you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether.
While NYC Building Supply does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that
certain sites and services will not function properly if you set your browser to
refuse all cookies.
Web beacons, also known as clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs, are small
image files that NYC Building Supply may place on Web pages and within Web-based
email newsletters that we send. Working in conjunction with cookies, Web beacons
allow NYC Building Supply to accurately count the number of unique users who
have visited a specific page on the NYC Building Supply Network and the number
of times those pages are displayed. We can also use Web beacons to let us know
how many people opened a Web-based email newsletter. This information is only
collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your personally
identifiable information.
Without cookies and Web beacons, it would be difficult for NYC Building Supply
to know which services have a larger audience than others. Tracking audience
size helps us to better understand when to launch new services and enhance the
current offerings. Keep in mind that any image file on a Web page can act as a
Web beacon. Third-party advertising networks for NYC Building Supply may use Web
beacons in their advertisements.
Because Web beacons work in conjunction with cookies, you can prevent our Web
beacon from collecting anonymous information by setting your Web browser to
refuse all cookies or the NYC Building Supply Network cookie in particular. Web
beacons are built into our Web pages, so non-functional Web beacons will
continue to appear even if you refuse the NYC Building Supply Network cookie.
Any personally identifiable information you share with NYC Building Supply when
registering for Products and Services at any of our Network sites is maintained
and accessible only by NYC Building Supply unless specifically stated otherwise.
NYC Building Supply requests information from its users so that users can enjoy
customized experiences across the NYC Building Supply Network, including
personalization services, interactive communications, online games and much
more. Most of these Products and Services are available to you at no cost, and
NYC Building Supply displays advertisements so we can continue to provide great
content and services free of charge. We can also better prepare future content
based on your interests.
The following are examples of how the NYC Building Supply Network may use the
information it collects:
- NYC Building Supply uses the information collected (both anonymous and
personal) to personalize and enhance the content you see on the NYC Building
Supply Network, such as news, stock portfolios, weather reports, sports
scores, horoscopes, advertisements and more. In some cases, our Products and
Services cannot work unless you have volunteered accurate information (for
example, we need your valid ZIP Code to display weather conditions in your
local area).
- NYC Building Supply collects anonymous data and shares it with third-party
advertisers in an aggregate form. We will disclose to those advertisers the
numbers of NYC Building Supply users who have certain demographic
characteristics and the number of those people who have seen and "clicked" on
a particular display. We will also disclose to those advertisers the overall
demographics available regarding who saw and "clicked" on their advertisement.
In addition, we may disclose anonymous results from online surveys to
third-party advertisers or to NYC Building Supply's product and service
providers. No personally identifiable information will be disclosed as part of
this process.
- NYC Building Supply also uses the aggregate data to perform statistical
analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered
users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests regarding
specific areas of the NYC Building Supply Network, and to analyze how and
where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which
parts of the NYC Building Supply Network are the most popular, and we would
not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately.
Please note that we may share this aggregate information with third-party
companies.
- NYC Building Supply collects an aggregate list of search terms from its
HotBot and NYC Building Supply search services. This information is collected
anonymously and used primarily for the purposes of product development,
monitoring, and improvement, as well as targeted advertising. Please note,
however, that we may share this anonymous information with third-party
companies.
- NYC Building Supply sometimes uses an individual registered user's data to
"pre-populate" online forms that are displayed for the purpose of collecting
additional individual data by the NYC Building Supply Network, selected
third-party sites, and/or sponsors and advertisers.
- NYC Building Supply may, from time to time, use your information to
contact you about changes or enhancements to Products and Services on the NYC
Building Supply Network, issues regarding your account, or NYC Building Supply
Network Terms and Conditions violations or suspensions.
- If you enter a sweepstakes or a contest on the NYC Building Supply
Network, we will use the information you provided to contact you in the event
you win.
- If you told NYC Building Supply that you were interested in receiving
special offers from select NYC Building Supply clients, NYC Building Supply or
third parties on NYC Building Supply's behalf (i) will send you email and
postal mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to
you, and (ii) may combine information we have about you with information we
obtain about you from third parties for the purpose of providing you with more
appropriate products, services, and offerings. If you do not wish to
participate in this program, please follow the opt-out instructions set forth
in Section 8 of this policy.
- Subscription Customers: Your credit card information is used to
collect your recurrent subscription fees for Quote.com,
NewYorkGeneralContractors.com, or
other pay services.
- NYC Building Supply Family Membership Customers: Your credit card
information is used to verify the age of a parent or guardian. The credit card
will not be charged during the NYC Building Supply Family Membership
registration process, and only the last 4 digits and a transaction number will
be stored as proof of transaction.
Whenever you provide registration information on co-branded or private label
sites, that data may be shared with the third-party company providing the
service. You should make every effort to read the individual privacy policies of
such third parties and make an informed decision on your own whether to continue
based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion. You may
opt-out of sharing your information with such providers by choosing not to use
that service or content.
When you find goods or services through NYC Building Supply Shopping, you submit
data directly to the individual merchants from whom you order goods or services.
Please review carefully the privacy policies of particular merchants that you
access through NYC Building Supply Shopping.
In addition to finding co-branded and private label sites, you will find direct
links on our site to sites offered by third parties. Some of these sites are
authorized to use the NYC Building Supply Network brands and/or logos. No
third-party sites are covered by this Privacy Policy. If you feel that a site
using a NYC Building Supply Network brand and/or logo does not follow an
acceptable privacy policy, please contact the NYC Building Supply Privacy Site
Coordinator by email at privacy@NYC Building
Supply.com.
NYC Building Supply may disclose information about individual users to third
parties who agree to provide services to NYC Building Supply and who agree to
maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with this Privacy
Policy. These third parties will provide a variety of services to NYC Building
Supply, including, without limitation, processing and storing user information,
helping to create new content and promotions for the NYC Building Supply
Network, and sending or coordinating the sending of marketing communications
that users have consented to receive. NYC Building Supply will disclose
information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or
law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to
subpoena, court order, or other legal process. In matters involving a danger to
personal or public safety, NYC Building Supply may voluntarily provide
information to appropriate governmental authorities.
If you elect to receive NYC Building Supply Registration Offers during
registration for the NYC Building Supply Network, NYC Building Supply will
release personally identifiable information to the applicable sponsor or
advertiser. Information released may include name, email address, postal address
and other information supplied in the NYC Building Supply Network registration
process. Please note that the sponsor or advertiser will not be bound by this
NYC Building Supply Network Privacy Policy.
If NYC Building Supply is acquired by or merged with another company, NYC
Building Supply may transfer personally-identifiable information about you to
that company. NYC Building Supply will notify you in the event that your
personally-identifiable information is transferred under these circumstances and
becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Contractors-Referral.com Customers: NYC Building Supply creates your public profile by
using your answers to the Contractors-Referral.com questionnaire and your ZIP Code, along
with any photos or images you post. Users will have the ability to search and
view the public profiles.
NYC Building Supply Domains Customers: Users of NYC Building Supply Domains will
be required to designate an administrative contact and, in some instances, a
technical contact for the domain names they register. NYC Building Supply will
assume that the NYC Building Supply member who registers for the NYC Building
Supply Domains service will serve as these contacts, although users will have
the ability to designate other contacts. NYC Building Supply will disclose the
name, address, phone number, fax number, and email address of the administrative
and technical contacts to NYC Building Supply's domain name provider, which in
turn will make such information publicly available through an online WHOIS
database.

control. NYC Building Supply uses physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on its computers.
Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. Any

to transmission.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not
occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
You are ultimately responsible for the security of your NYC Building Supply
Network ID and password. Please take care when using and storing them. NYC
Building Supply recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You
should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure
that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence,
especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are
using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 provides safeguards
to protect children who use the Internet by regulating the online collection of
personal information from children under the age of 13. Because of these
safeguards, children under 13 are not able to access or use all Products and
Services on the NYC Building Supply Network. Parents of children under 13 can
authorize their children to use some of our services by signing up for a NYC
Building Supply Family Membership.
NYC Building Supply may make certain software available for download. This
software may be created by NYC Building Supply or by third party licensors. The
software may be programmed to access our servers and/or third party servers in
order for the software to operate and in order to check for program upgrades or
enhancements. From time to time, new files may be added to your computer in
order to upgrade the software or add new functionality to it. These changes may
occur without notice to you. If at any time you wish to uninstall the software
program, you may do so by following the instructions that accompany the
software. Use of the software will be governed by a separate license agreement.
Get Relevant is a service offered by NYC Building Supply to connect users with
advertisers that may be of interest to them. Here is how it works: NYC Building
Supply receives advertisements from various advertisers and distributes them to
participating third-party Web sites. A user of a participating Web site will see
the advertisement during the process of registering for that site. If the user
opts in to receive information from the advertiser, the registration information
that the user supplied to the participating Web site will be conveyed to NYC
Building Supply, which will in turn distribute it to the relevant advertiser.
Prior to disclosing the information to the advertiser, NYC Building Supply will
send a confirming email to the user and give the user an opportunity to opt out
from receiving email from the advertiser. The particpating Web site and the
advertiser will act in accordance with their own privacy policies and practices
and not those of the NYC Building Supply Network. At any time, a user may access
and update the personal information on file with GetRelevant by visiting the URL
http://o3.getrelevant.com/pUpdate
and following the instructions found there.
Know the risks.
Meeting new people in an online community (chat room, forum, newsgroup, message
board, Web page, etc.) is one of the best things about the Internet, but you
should always be careful about disclosing personal information such as an actual
name, member name, email address, and so on. This information may be collected
and used by others within the online community to send unsolicited email
messages from other parties, outside the NYC Building Supply Network. Some of
the messages you receive may be useful to you, but some may not. In an effort to
curtail unsolicited email, NYC Building Supply blocks certain email addresses
and domains from sending messages to email addresses at our domains.
Educate yourself.
Search the Web for as much information as you can about how to protect your
privacy. Look for a privacy policy on the Web sites you visit. A good place to
start is TRUSTe -- an independent,
non-profit organization with a mission to build trust and confidence in the
Internet. The Federal Trade Commission has a great Web site with useful
information on being a
Savvy Internet
Traveler along with other
privacy initiatives. Additional privacy resources can be found at by

Tell your children: "Never talk to strangers!"
While NYC Building Supply works hard to protect children on the sites within the
NYC Building Supply Network, we cannot protect their privacy once they leave.
Please teach children that they should not reveal their names or other personal
information to anyone they encounter on the Internet. They should also be
instructed not to fill out any forms or register at any Web site without your
knowledge and consent. Parents can also prevent or limit a child's access to
inappropriate material on the Web by using commercially available parental
control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering
services). Take advantage of the online resources for parents available on the
NYC Building Supply Network, such as
SearchGuard and GetNetWise.
Use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)
http://www.pgp.com or another encryption program.

The NYC Building Supply Network will update this policy from time to time so
please check back periodically. When such changes occur, you will see the word
"Updated" next to the Privacy Policy link on the front page of each site on the
NYC Building Supply Network. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it
was collected, we will prominently post such changes prior to implementing them.
