Privacy Policy

Effective Date of Last Revision: November 12, 2022

Introduction

Go Find Build, LLC (“GFB”) respects your privacy and the privacy of any information you may choose to share with us or which is transmitted to us regarding you. GFB’s mission is to connect entities in the commercial and residential construction industry to allow them to be more productive and successful. Central to this mission is our commitment to be transparent about the data we collect about you, how it is used and with whom it is shared, as outlined in detail below.

The following policy has been implemented by GFB to protect your private information. In addition, when you use the GFB website or any other products or services provided by GFB (collectively the “Service,” or the “System”), you will be subject to the following terms and conditions.

Information We Collect When You Use GFB

GFB receives and may store any information you provide. This includes information that can identify you (“Personal Identifiable Information” or “Private Information”). Personally Identifiable Information is any data that could potentially identify you, whether a specific individual or entity. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, telephone number, postal and e-mail addresses (“Name and Address”), or credit card numbers, cardholder names, and expiration dates (“Billing Information”). For job candidates, we may also request information such as your educational background, driver’s license number, criminal background, occupational history, experience, training or the like. For hiring or collaborative entities, we may additionally or alternatively request other information including corporate identification numbers, liability insurance information, certification / bonding information, contractor license number, industry identification(s), specialization, entity size, principal name and whether any special designations, such as minority, woman or veteran owned business designations are appropriate. We may, at our discretion, share Name and Address information with affiliated entities, business partners, and other independent third-party sources. Billing Information will not be shared by GFB. You can choose not to provide some or all of this Private Information to us. However, in general, some Private Information about you is required in order for you to register as a member, participate in the Service, initiate searches, facilitate matching, establish connections or otherwise transact and communicate using the Service GFB provides.

We may also obtain both information and Private Information about you that is not private from other users, affiliated entities, business partners and other independent third-party sources. We may organize and assemble this data in a database (“Aggregate Database”) which may be separate from the database we use to store your account information (“Profile Database”). Thus some of the information we maintain about you may not be visible to you as you use the GFB services.

If you access GFB accounts via a social media outlet, or use any of GFB social media features, we may access information about you using each particular social media provider’s APIs in accordance with each provider’s policies. The information we acquire may include your name, e-mail address, profile picture, gender, list of friends, and other information that you authorize each social media system to provide. This information obtained from social media providers may also be included in our Aggregate Database along with other information we have obtained. Depending on the privacy settings of you and your friends, we may access information that you have given to a social media provider regarding your respective locations (“Location Data”) to provide you with relevant content.

GFB automatically collects some information about your computer that is not Private Information when you use the System (“Anonymous Information”). This Anonymous Information is available to us as a natural result of your use of the technology required to access GFB. For example, we may collect your IP address, information about web browser software (such as Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer), information about your mobile device that you have allowed the device to share with us, and information about referring websites or past browsing history made available by your browser. We also may collect information about patterns of online activity you may engage in at GFB without specific reference to you personally. We use this Anonymous Information to customize your user experience and we may, at our discretion, share Anonymous Information we have collected about you with affiliated entities, business partners, and other independent third-parties.

How GFB Uses Your Information

We use sensitive billing information (such as cardholder name, credit card number, and expiration date) for the purpose of billing with respect to the Service. We use other information about you as indicated above, and for the following general purposes:

a. To provide you with the information and services you request;

b. To present you to other users as a potential match;

c. To provide you with connections to other users where indicated by the required parties;

d. To manage your account, including processing bills and to communicate with you in general;

j As a resource for affiliated entities, business partners, or other independent third- parties to enhance services they provide to you.

k. To investigate and prevent prohibited or illegal activities and to enforce our terms of use.

GFB E-mail Communications

GFB may send you e-mail messages or other electronic messages from time to time that contain information about opportunities you have expressed an interest in, participated in in the past, or that we think you might be interested in for the future. Each e-mail of this type that we send will provide you with the opportunity to choose not to receive these e-mail messages in the future.

Sharing Information

We may share the information we collect about you as described in this Privacy Statement or as described at the time of collection or sharing, with the following types of entities:

a. Other users, such as general contractors, sub-contractors, educators, training suppliers, vendors, suppliers or the like.

b. Third-party payment transaction vendors who provide services or functions on our behalf, including credit card processing, business analytics, customer service, marketing, distribution of surveys or sweepstakes programs, and fraud prevention. We may also authorize third-party vendors to collect information on our behalf, including as necessary to operate features of our service or to facilitate the delivery of online advertising tailored to your interests. Third-party vendors have access to and may collect information only as needed to perform their functions and are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose. They are also required to follow the same data security practices that we ourselves adhere to.

c. Business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services, or whose products or services may be offered as part of our service. When a third party is involved in a product or service you have requested, their logo or name will appear, either alone or with ours. If you choose to access the services they provide, we may share information about you with those partners. This information may include Personal Information such as your Name and Address. Although we only collaborate with reputable and responsible businesses, Erge does not control, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices of these third- party business partners.

d. Referring websites or other entities. If you were referred to GFB from another app, website, or service, we may share some information about you with that referring website. GFB does not control, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices of these referring entities.

e. Government agencies in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.

f. Third party investigative services when we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company or the service, our customers, or others; and in connection with our Terms of Service and other agreements.

Other than as set out above, you will be notified when personal information about you will be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to have us share such information.

Accessing Your Information

Your contact information may be updated by accessing your profile using the Service. Your account can be closed by contacting a GFB representative at brian@gofindbuild.com. After you close an account, you will not be able to sign in or access any of your personal information. However, you can open a new account at any time. GFB may retain information associated with your account for analytical purposes as well as for record keeping integrity.

Choosing How You Want Your Information to be Used

As discussed above, you can choose not to provide us with any information, although it will likely reduce the System’s ability to provide services to you. For example, without providing certain personal information, you will not be able to interest other users in your profile or identify users who might match your need(s). You also can add or update your account information, or you can close your account as described above. You will be given the opportunity to unsubscribe from commercial e-mails in any such message that we send you. If you are a registered member, you can also modify your choice at any time. Please note that we reserve the right to send you other communications, including service announcements, administrative messages, and surveys relating either to your account or to transactions you have entered into, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.

Cookies and Other Browser Technology

Cookies are small text files sent from our Site to your browser. They can be stored on your computer’s hard drive (if your Web browser permits). The GFB service uses cookies for the following general purposes:

a. To help us recognize your browser as a previous visitor and save and remember any preferences that may have been set while your browser was visiting our site. For example, if you register on our site, we may use cookies to remember your registration information so that you will not need to log into our site each time you visit. We also may record your password in a cookie, if you checked the box entitled “Remember Me” or the like. Please note that member IDs, passwords, and any other account-related data included in such cookies are encrypted for security purposes. Unless you register with us, these cookies will not contain any personal information.

b. To help us customize the content and advertisements provided to you via the Service and possibly on other sites across the Internet. For example, when you access a page on our website, a cookie is automatically set by us, our service providers, or our partners to recognize your browser as you navigate on the Internet and to present you with information and advertising based on your apparent interests.

c. To help measure and research the effectiveness of the Service, its features and offerings, advertisements, and e-mail communications (by determining which e- mails you open and act upon).

d. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please note that if you refuse to accept cookies, you may not be able to access many of the travel tools offered on the Site.

e. In addition to the above cookies, we may use Local Shared Objects, also referred to as “flash cookies,” on the Site. These are used to enhance your user experience, for example, by storing your user preferences and settings, such as your volume/mute settings, and in connection with animated content on our website. Local Shared Objects are similar to browser cookies, but can store data more complex than simple text. By themselves, they cannot do anything to or with the data on your computer. Like other cookies, they can only access Personal Information that you have provided on this site, and cannot be accessed by other websites.

f. This site may also use clear gifs, pixel tags or “Web bugs”, which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are placed in the code of a page. We use these systems for a variety of reasons such as to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, and to improve site performance. We also may allow our service providers to use similar monitoring systems to help us understand which e-mails have been opened by recipients and to track the visitor traffic and actions on our site. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our content and other offerings.

Advertising

We may, through cookies and other technologies, collect information about your searches or usage of the Service. We may, at our discretion, use this information, together with other information we have collected about you, to serve you with ads that match your apparent interests. The advertisements you may see when using the System are served by us or by our service providers. We may allow third parties to collect information about your online activities through cookies and other technologies. These third parties include (1) business partners, who collect information when you view or interact with one of their advertisements on our sites; and (2) advertising networks, which collect information about your interests when you view or interact with one of the advertisements they place on many different websites on the Internet.

Please note that we do not have access to or control over cookies or other technologies these third parties may use to collect information about your interests, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Protecting Your Information

GFB is committed to maintaining the privacy of your information and will treat the privacy of your information with the same or greater security protections as GFB provides for its own private information. While no website can guarantee security, we have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security procedures to help protect the personal information you provide to us. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access Personal Information, and they may only do so for permitted business functions. In addition, we use encryption when transmitting Personal Information or Billing Information between your computer or mobile device and system, and we employ firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your information.

Children’s privacy

The System does not offer services directed to children. Children under the age of 18 are not allowed to establish accounts on the System, and any users we believe to be under 18 can have their accounts terminated at our discretion. If a child whom we know to be under 13 sends Personal Information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her Personal Information.

Territory

The System does not offer services to anyone located outside of the United States. Entities located or residing outside of the United States are not allowed to establish accounts on the System, and any users we believe to be in violation can have their accounts terminated at our discretion.

External Links

Our System may include links to other services or websites. You acknowledge, and agree that in the event we link you to other sites, those sites do not operate under, and are not bound by, the terms of this Privacy Policy. We recommend you examine the privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy in the future at our discretion. We will attempt to notify you about material changes to this Privacy Policy by sending a notice to the e-mail address you provided to us or by placing a prominent notice on the System.
