Does FloorBiz ask for personal information? Yes, we do. FloorBiz may ask for your name, email address, and other personal information when you sign up for our services. We may also ask for such information at other times, such as when you request information from FloorBiz and/or our customers. Will FloorBiz disclose any of my personal information? FloorBiz will not disclose any of your personal information, except as described below, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights or property of FloorBiz. Under confidentiality agreements, FloorBiz may match user information with third party data. Also, FloorBiz does disclose aggregated user statistics (for example, 45% of our users are female) in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. If/when we do match user information we endeavor to keep personal information confidential from those third parties. Additionally, if you make a purchase from our site, the information obtained during your visit to these areas, and the information that you give such as your credit card number and contact information, is provided to the merchant of record. These merchants can be FloorBiz or third party companies. These merchants have separate privacy and data collection practices. FloorBiz has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies. How Does FloorBiz use my personal information? FloorBiz's goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with the most personalized web experience possible and our advertisers with an efficient means to reach the right audience. By knowing a little about you, FloorBiz is able to deliver more relevant content and advertisements, and hence a better service, to you. In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, FloorBiz plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an ad and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). FloorBiz takes the ad and displays it to users meeting those criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only FloorBiz has access to individuals' accounts. Will FloorBiz use my information for direct mailings? We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. You can remove yourself from this distribution list via a link in the communication. Only FloorBiz (or agents working on behalf of FloorBiz and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. FloorBiz sites are for professionals and usage by children is not intended. With that said, the safety of children is very important to us. Kids(under age 16) should always ask parents for permission before sending personal information to FloorBiz, or to anyone online for that matter. Does FloorBiz use cookies and "IP Addresses&?
