The purpose of this privacy policy is to disclose to you the type of personal information we gather, how it is gathered, what the information collected is used for, and inform you of the choices that you have in our use of your personal information. We may update this policy from time to time.

The types of personal information that we may collect from you include: your name and business contact information and any information that you voluntarily disclose to us. We collect personal information in a number of ways, for example: when you subscribe to our magazine, when you enter various contests conducted to promote our magazine, when you submit to any of our website’s online forms, when you contact us requesting material or to ask questions, and when you complete our surveys in order for us to obtain a better sense of who our readers are and what issues, products or services may be of interest to them. We also may collect personal information from third-party organizations which may provide us with your demographic and other information (e.g. your occupation and interests).
Non-Personal Information We Collect
The types of anonymous, aggregate information we collect:
Browser information (i.e. the URL of the web page you are connecting from, the IP address of the computer you are using, your domain type, the country you are connecting from, the search engine used, and your browser version). Browser information is automatically recorded as part of transmitting information over the Internet. We may use it to help us display information in the best format for you.
Cookies. Our website uses “cookies”. A cookie is a small text file sent to your browser’s files for our reference. No one else can read this file. Cookies allow our server computer to recognize you when you return to the site, so you don’t have to re-register and so we can retain any preferences you may have given us. If you do not wish to receive cookies, most browsers allow you to be alerted when a cookie is sent to your computer, so you can decide whether to accept it.
Advertising Reports. We may develop summary reports to inform our sponsors and advertisers as to the performance of a particular sponsorship or advertisement. In such case, we may disclose to those third-party sponsors and advertisers the demographics available or who saw and clicked on an advertisement. No Personal Information will be disclosed to these sponsors and advertisers as part of this process; only anonymous information will be disclosed.

We collect your personal information to provide the product, service or information you requested. We will also use it to communicate further information to you about the publication in general. We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In addition, we may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you e-mail or postal mail, and provide customer support. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Wood Design & Building, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
