In this Policy, our use of the term “personal information” includes other similar terms under applicable privacy laws—such as “personal data” and “personally identifiable information.” In general, personal information includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated, or reasonably linked or linkable with a particular individual.

  1. Personal Information We Collect

BLD collects personal information directly from you, automatically related to your use of the Services, and in some cases, from third parties (such as social networks). The information we collect about you varies depending upon the circumstances and how you interact with us.

Also, if you post or submit reviews, testimonials and comments to us, we may maintain a record of this content, including the location, date, and time of submission.

  1. Cookies, Analytics and Personalization

We and our third-party providers use cookies, clear GIFs/pixel tags, JavaScript, local storage, log files, and other mechanisms to automatically collect and record information about your browsing activities, and use of the Services. We may combine this “usage information” with other personal information we collect about you. Generally, we use this usage information to understand how our Services are used, track bugs and errors, provide and improve our Services, allow logins, track sessions, prevent fraud, and protect our Services, as well as for targeted marketing and advertising, to personalize content and for analytics purposes (see the Section “Your Rights and Choices” below for information about opting-in or out of certain uses of your personal information).

Log Files. We collect certain usage information from log files. Log file information is automatically reported by your browser or mobile application to our servers when you access our Services. We record certain information from these log files, including web requests, IP address, browser type and version, language information, referring and exiting URLs, links clicked, pages viewed and other similar information.

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our website, while others allow us to track your activities while using our Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.

Parts of our website may not work properly if you disable cookies.

We may use pixel tags (also referred to as web beacons, web bugs or clear GIFs), in connection with our Services to, among other things, help us manage ads and content, and compile statistics about usage of our Services. We may also use pixel tags in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

Do-Not-Track signals. Please note that our websites do not recognize or respond to any signal which your browser might transmit through the so-called ‘Do Not Track’ feature your browser might have. If you wish to disable cookies on our Services, you should not rely on any ‘Do Not Track’ feature your browser might have.

  1. Interest-based Advertising

We may work with third party ad networks, analytics companies, measurement services and others (“third party ad companies”) to help us manage our advertising on third party sites and services. We and these third party ad companies may use cookies, pixels tags, and other tools to collect activity information on our website (as well as on third party sites and services), as well as IP address, device ID, cookie and advertising IDs, and other identifiers, general location information, and, with your consent; we and these third party ad companies use this information to provide you more relevant ads and content and to evaluate the success of such ads and content. In addition, these third parties may combine the information collected from us and our website with information collected about you from third-party sites, apps, and services, in order to make inferences about you and your interests, to better tailor advertising and content to you across multiple sites, apps, and services and to collect associated metrics. For more information about third party ad networks and how to opt out of interest-based ads from many ad networks go to www.aboutads.info.

    • Our websites: You can review or change your preferences for targeting cookies and tags on our websites by adjusting your cookie settings.
  • Industry ad choice programs: You can also control how participating third-party ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our websites and use of mobile applications, and those of third parties, in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you; for more information and to opt out of receiving targeted ads from participating third-party ad networks int the U.S., go to aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) (You can also download the DAA AppChoices tool in order to help control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device).

You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs.
