PRIVACY
POLICY
Version 1.0 - Updated August 16th, 2007
At MBK Homes (referred to as "us" or "we" in this Privacy Policy),
we are dedicated to serving your needs. We know you care about your
personal privacy. Because we care about you we have adopted the practices
described in this Privacy Policy.
Our Collection and Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information
We collect and use information about you where we reasonably believe
it will help us administer our business or provide products, services
or other opportunities to you. The information you give us, among
other things, allows us to improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, statistically analyze Website usage, improve our content
and product offerings and customize our Website's content, layout
and services. For our records, we may, in our sole discretion, retain
original and updated information for reasons such as technical constraints,
dispute resolution, troubleshooting and agreement enforcement. Because
of the nature of our business our products and services are not designed
to appeal to minors, we do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive
any information from children.
MBK Homes collects information from our users at several
different points, including but not limited to the following:
Information You Provide To Us
Before you can use certain features of the Website (as defined in
the Terms of Use), such as a warranty service request, we ask that
you provide to us, among other things, your Name, Address, Phone
Number, and e-mail address. We receive and may store the information
you provide to us. Certain information must be given to us. Other
information may be identified as optional, and you may choose whether
to provide it.
Correspondence
If you correspond with us we may retain such information. In addition,
where we have sent an email to you, we may receive confirmation that
you have opened it.
Cookies
A cookie is a file stored on your computer that contains data you
already gave to us. When you access our Website, we look into the
cookie to fill out some fields you would otherwise have to reenter
(but not passwords or any financial information) and customize our
Website to be more relevant to you. We also then know it's you and
not someone else. We don't put sensitive or financial information
into the cookie stored on your computer. There are products commercially
available that are designed to help you disable cookies. Although
we want you to be aware that such products exist, please note that
if you choose to use them we may not be able to provide you with
personalized service, your use of the Website may be slowed, and
it may result in certain features and services not being available
to you.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time, our Website may request information from you via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include but is not limited
to contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age level).
Information from Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources, such as
our agents, vendors and service providers and from publicly available
sources. For example, sometimes we receive updated address information
from third parties that we may use to update our records.
Disclosing Information To Third Parties
We may reveal personally identifiable information about you to third
parties (including any affiliate or subsidiary we may have) for their
independent use, including, without limitation, if: (1) you request
or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to help promote
or otherwise market a service or product to you or complete a transaction
for you; (3) the information is provided to comply with the law,
enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements we have with you, or
to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property
or safety of others; (4) the disclosure is done as part of a purchase,
sale or transfer of services or assets (for example, if substantially
all of our assets are acquired by another party, your information
may be one of the transferred assets); or (5) the information is
provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform
functions on our behalf. We may also gather aggregated data about
you and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally
identifiable) information to third parties for marketing or promotional
purposes.

of your personally identifiable information. We are not responsible
