each respective website. Online merchants and others who participate
in Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. services are encouraged
to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE
USE IT
Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. collects
certain information from and about its users three ways: directly
from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer
the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may
track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.

b. Use of Cookies
Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. may use cookies to
personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a
web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence,
this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and
eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences
and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. reserves the right
to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies,
but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website
unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such
as merging into Scholzdesign.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify
your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies
by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission except
to the extent necessary including:
- To protect ourselves from liability,
- To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation
of the company.
4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd./www.northerndesign.com
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons –
sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Northern
Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. to count users who have visited
those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Northern Design
& Bldg Assoc., Ltd. may include Web beacons in promotional
e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages
have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third
party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of
our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons
may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize
your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and
compile anonymous information in relation to those page views,
which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you
use the site. Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. prohibits
Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
5. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
Northern Design & Bldg Assoc., Ltd. has the
discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we
do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top
of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this
privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect
the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service
constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
