Do Not Sell or Share/Use My Personal Information for Targeted Advertising

Personal Information that We Sell or Share/Use for Targeted Advertising

Under California law, “share” means disclosing your personal information by us to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, in exchange for money or anything else of value. Thus, when we use the term “share” under this section, we are using it in the narrow meaning of how it is defined under California law. Other State Privacy Laws do not use the term “share,” but describe the concept as using personal information for targeted advertising.

Under the laws of California and Colorado, “sell” means exchanging your personal information by us with a third party for money or anything else of value. Under Virginia law, “sell” is the exchange of personal information for money only.

We may sell or share/use for targeted advertising the following categories of Personal Information:

  • Contact Information;

  • Other identifying information;

  • Demographic Information;

  • Internet or other electronic activity and

  • Commercial information

We sell and/or share/use for targeted advertising this information to companies who may contact you to provide services for you such as master plan developers, solar providers, landscape companies, telecommunications providers and other service providers for your home.  We do not knowingly sell or share/use for targeted advertising the personal information of minors under the age of 16.
