We Care About Our Community Members' Information!

We here at hitbybricks.com (“Our Site”) know that you care about how your information is used and shared. We appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. By visiting hitbybricks.com you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collected

The information we collect from community members allows us to personalize and continually improve the community environment at hitbybricks.com. Here are the types of information we gather:

Technical Data . When you visit the community our Site collects the following information, all of which does not personally identify you: (i) web browser; (ii) IP address; (iii) and domain server (the “Technical Data”). We collect Technical Data for advertising purposes and to ensure the highest quality experience for community members on our Site. We also collect this data to analyze security, infrastructure, and website traffic metrics.

User Supplied Information . When visiting our site you voluntarily give us certain information that identifies you or your business in order to take complete advantage of our site and fully participate as a member of the community. We receive and store this information, which can include, but is not limited to (i) personal information such as your name and address, zip code, age, income, e-mail address, occupation, reviews submitted and accompanying information, phone number, company name, and (ii) financial information, such as an account or credit card number. This list is not exclusive, and any information you supply voluntarily by posting messages in our forums or bulletin boards, responding to surveys, or otherwise using our Site will be collected. We emphasize that you supply this personal information voluntarily. You may not be able to use some of the features on our website if you refrain from giving us this information; however, such loss of functionality is limited.

Use of Collected Information

The information we collect from you is critical to our ability to serve the community. We respect and value this information, and do not want to jeopardize the flow of information between community members. Our website is built on the idea that the community cares enough about the success of its members that misappropriating information is a horrendous act. We will use your information to try and provide the best community experience possible, which may include contacting you at times. We will use your information to learn about our community demographics and decipher which features of our site the community values. When we aggregate the community member's personal information we will do it in a way that no longer personally identifies a community member. We may share such aggregated, non-personal data to affiliated businesses, third parties, and agents employed to perform functions on our behalf. We may also use such information for promotional offers, or provide it to other companies promoting products or services we feel the community will value. One last thing – we are required to obey the law. Consequently, it is sometimes necessary to release your personal information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law; enforce or apply our terms of use; or protect the rights or property of hitbybricks.com.

Cookies
