Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from libertyhouseplans.com (the “Site”). This privacy policy applies to information we collect or use on sites and applications owned or controlled by Liberty House Plans, LLC.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your time zone, operating system, internet service provider, device type/model/manufacturer, some of the cookies that are installed on your device, and a unique ID that allows us to uniquely identify your browser or your account. When you access the Site from a mobile device, we may collect unique identification numbers associated with your device or our mobile application (including, for example, a UDID, Unique ID for Advertisers (“IDFA”), Google AdID, or Windows Advertising ID), mobile carrier, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, phone number, and depending on your mobile device settings, we may be able to approximate a device’s location by analyzing other information, like an IP address. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. The email that we send may also contain tracking devices that identify if and when you have opened that email, how many times you have read it and whether you have clicked on any links in that email. We may also receive information about you from our business partners and service providers and combine this information with other data we collect from you.

We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. Please note that our systems may also record personal information that you type into our websites and other online services even if you do not choose to submit it.
  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
  • “Embedded scripts” are sections of programming language provided by third parties for the purpose of sharing video, displaying data, and managing other features of the Site.

When you register for an account on the Site or log in to the Site, we collect information that includes your name, email, password, and reason for visiting the Site. Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, company name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number; in some cases, we also collect information about your prospective building site, such as parcel number and address. We use a third party payment processor to process the payment, and we do not retain any personally identifiable financial information such as credit card numbers that you supply during the payment process. Rather, all such information is provided directly by you to our third-party processor. Please note that the payment processor’s use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy.

We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
