Privacy Policy
National Homes takes your privacy
seriously. Please read the following to learn more
about our privacy policy.
What This Privacy Policy
Covers
This policy covers how National Homes treats personal
information that National Homes collects and receives. Personal
information is information about you that is personally
identifiable like your name, address, email address,
or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly
available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that National Homes
does not own or control, or to people that National Homes does not employ or
manage.
Information Collection and Use
General
National Homes collects personal information when you register with National Homes,
when you use National Homes products or services, when you visit National Homes pages
or the pages of certain National Homes partners, and when you enter promotions
or sweepstakes. National Homes may combine information about you that we have
with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address,
gender, postal code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. Once
you register with National Homes and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous
to us.
National Homes automatically receives and records information on our server logs
from your browser, including your IP address, National Homes cookie information,
and the page you request.
National Homes uses information for the following general purposes: to customize
the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products
and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and
provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
National Homes does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with
other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services
you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following
circumstances:
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or
with National Homes under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use
your personal information to help National Homes communicate with you about offers
from National Homes and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not
have any independent right to share this information.
We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a
child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing National Homes to collect
and use their child's information without consenting to National Homes sharing
of this information with people and companies who may use this information
for their own purposes;
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish
or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of National Homes's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
We transfer information about you if National Homes is acquired by or merged
with another company. In this event, National Homes will notify you before information
about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
National Homes may display targeted advertisements based on personal information.
Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who
interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria
- for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
National Homes does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when
you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or
viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser
will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display
the ad.
National Homes works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service
providers in different industries and categories of business. For more
information regarding providers of products or services that you've requested
please read our detailed reference links.
Cookies
National Homes may set and access National Homes cookies on your computer.
National Homes lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages
set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of
their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers
or other companies do not have access to National Homes's cookies.
National Homes uses web beacons to access National Homes cookies inside and outside
our network of web sites and in connection with National Homes products and services.
Confidentiality and Security
We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe
reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products
or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
federal regulations to protect personal information about you.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
National Homes may update this policy. We will notify you about significant changes
in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary
email address specified in your National Homes account or by placing a prominent
notice on our site.
