This Privacy Policy explains our policy regarding the collection,
use and disclosure of your personal information. As we update and
expand our services, this policy may change, so please refer back
to it periodically. By accessing our Web site or using our services,
you consent to our information practices.
Collection
and Use of Information
Personal information means information that can be used to identify
and contact you, specifically your name, postal delivery address,
e-mail address, payment method (e.g., credit card or debit card)
and telephone number, as well as other information when such information
is combined with your personal information.
When you purchase,
register or re-register at our Web site, we ask you to supply us
with personal information so that we can provide, enhance and personalize
our services and marketing efforts. For similar reasons, we may
supplement the personal information you provide with publicly available
information about you. We use this personal information to process
your registration, your orders and your payments, and to communicate
with you on these and other topics. We also use your e-mail address
to send you newsletters, as well as messages about Southern Home
Inspection Services special offers, promotional announcements and
consumer surveys. Occasionally, we may send these materials to you
via postal mail, using the shipping address provided. Our mailers
that contain the products you ordered may also contain promotional
items or advertisements. If you no longer want to receive the newsletters,
other announcements, simply access the Email Subscriptions link
at the bottom of the email you receive from us and click the link
to unsubscribe. Please note that you cannot unsubscribe from certain
correspondence from us, including messages relating to your account
transactions.
Links to
Other Sites
The Southern Home Inspection Services Web site contains links to
sites operated by third parties whose policies regarding the handling
of personal information may differ from ours. While we endeavor
to associate with reputable sites, Southern Home Inspection Services
cannot be responsible for the information handling practices of
these other sites.
Children
You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase from the Southern
Home Inspection Services Web site. While individuals under the age
of 18 may utilize the site, they may do so only with the involvement
of a parent or legal guardian and subject to our Terms of Use.
Cookies and
Other Technology
As you browse the Southern Home Inspection Services site, cookies
are placed on your computer's hard drive. (Cookies are small pieces
of data that are sent to your browser from a Web server and stored
on your hard drive for record keeping purposes.) In general, cookies
can make the Web more useful by storing information about your preferences
on a particular site. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally
identify users, although they do identify a user's computer. If
your browser is set to not accept cookies, you may not be able to
use the Southern Home Inspection Services site or service.
In addition
to cookies, we use other technologies, including pixel tags, to
gather information on how our users interact with our site and to
otherwise help us efficiently operate and monitor our site and service.
These technologies, show us, for example, popular pages, conversion
rates, click-throughs and other information that can be used to
improve, operate and monitor our site and our service. Third parties,
including consultants we engage and online advertisers, may also
use this technology to perform similar services for us as well as
to assess their own advertising or services.
Disclosure
of Personal Information
Except as otherwise disclosed to you, we will not sell, rent or
disclose your personal information to third parties without notifying
you of our intent to share the personal information in advance and
giving you an opportunity to prevent your personal information from
being shared.
We use other
companies, agents or contractors to perform services on our behalf.
For example, we have partnered with other companies to personalize
and optimize our Web pages, process credit card transactions, analyze
and enhance data, including customers' interaction with our site,
and process consumer surveys. We also provide postal addresses to
the U.S. Post Office for delivery purposes. In the course of providing
such services, these other companies may have access to your personal
information. These companies are not permitted to use your personal
information except for the purpose of providing the services we
request of them.
From time to
time, we may partner with companies whose products we believe will
interest our users. In conjunction with these partners, we may send
promotional announcements and/or serve web-based advertisements
to our customers on their behalf.
Southern Home
Inspection Services also reserves the right to disclose personal
information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by
law, if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to establish
or exercise legal rights, or in situations involving potential threats
to physical safety. In the event that Southern Home Inspection Services
is acquired by or merged with a third party, we reserve the right,
to sell or otherwise transfer the personal information we have collected
as part of that transaction provided that such third party continues
to honor our privacy policy.
Security
Southern Home Inspection Services takes information security very
seriously and uses reasonable administrative, technical and managerial
measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized
access. For example, we utilize Secure Sockets Layering, an industry-standard
protocol for certain of your transmissions to us, in order to encrypt
the personal information that you send to us through the registration
and sign up process. We store your email address and payment method
information in an encrypted form.
You are responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information
and for restricting access to your computer or mobile device through
which you access your Southern Home Inspection Services account.
Users of public or shared computers or unprotected mobile devices
should log out at the completion of each visit to the Southern Home
Inspection Services Web site.
Unfortunately,
no security system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly,
we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and
cannot assume liability for improper access to it. By using this
Web site, or providing personal information to us through any means,
you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding
security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use
of this site.
Changes to This Policy
As we update and expand our services, we may make changes to this
policy. You should check back for updates to this policy from time
to time. If the changes result in materially less protection for
your personal information than that provided in this policy, we
will make reasonable efforts to contact you and obtain your consent
to the changes. Like our Terms of Use, of which this policy is a
part, your use of the Southern Home Inspection Services Web site
or continued use of our service after our efforts to contact you
means that you agree to be bound by such changes.
