                      The New User Profile Information and Supplier Information pages will also prompt you to submit certain optional information.  While you are not required to provide the information that is designated as "optional", the submission of such optional information will enable LineBuilders to enhance the Service and your experience on the Site.  For purposes of this Privacy Policy, we sometimes refer to required and optional New User Profile Information and Supplier Information collectively as "User Information".

                      How Will LineBuilders Use the Information That It Collects?

                      New User Profile Information.  LineBuilders will use New User Profile Information to authorize your account.  Once LineBuilders has authorized your account, you will be able to submit Bid Requests and request Sales Calls from suppliers through the Site.  When you request a Bid Request or a Sales Call from a supplier, LineBuilders will forward your Sales Contact information directly to that supplier.  LineBuilders may maintain certain records related to Bid Requests and Sales Calls that you submit through the Service, and make that history available to you.  We, however, will not maintain copies of attached files and documents, if any, that you submit in connection with Bid Requests and Sales Calls.

                      Company Information.  LineBuilders will use Supplier Information to authorize your company’s account and to enable your company to list the products and services you provide and to attach product-specific information files on the Site.

                      Secondary Uses.  LineBuilders may aggregate User Information into group statistical information and disclose such aggregated user statistics in connection with marketing and business development activities.  Such aggregated, statistical information is anonymous and will not individually identify companies and individuals using our Site and the Service.  In addition, a supplier that provides specifications for its products on the Site may request information about traffic volume on the Site in connection with its product listings.  LineBuilders will provide such traffic volume data only to that company in aggregate anonymous form.

                      Compliance with the Law.  LineBuilders will disclose User Information when it believes in good faith that the law requires such disclosure or such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or property of LineBuilders or LineBuilders' customers.

                      Will LineBuilders Sell Information to Third Parties?

                      No.  LineBuilders does not sell, trade or assign User Information to third parties, such as mailing houses, market research firms or advertisers.   As LineBuilders continues to develop its business, however, it might sell some or all of its assets.   In such a transaction, the User Information may be one of the transferred business assets.   An acquiring company would be required to protect all User Information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time.

                      Does LineBuilders Use Cookies?

                      LineBuilders uses non-persistent cookies to enable you to use the Site more efficiently.   We do not use cookies to track your movement on the Site or on the Internet.  No information from cookies is stored and all cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

                      How Does LineBuilders Protect Information from Loss, Misuse or Alteration?

                      Technology.  LineBuilders employs security measures that are consistent with industry standards to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information about users of the Service and the Site, and stores all User Information on secure servers.

                      Internal Restrictions.  Our Site administrators continuously review the integrity of our security measures and limit the access of LineBuilders' personnel to your personal information on a "need to know" basis.  In addition, we train our personnel regarding our confidentiality policies and procedures with respect to User Information.

                      Passwords.  All account information is password-protected.  We recommend that you keep your password confidential, and change it from time to time as an added security measure.  LineBuilders will never contact you by phone or email to request your password.   If you believe that an unauthorized person has learned your password, we recommend that you change your password.  You can change your password by clicking on the Update User Profile button on the welcome page of the Site.

                      Can I Opt out of Providing Information to LineBuilders?

                      You must provide the required New User Profile Information and Supplier Information in order to use the Service.  You do not have to provide the New User Profile Information and Supplier Information that is designated as optional, unless you deem it appropriate and useful to your use of the Service.  If you do not wish to receive Sales Calls and responses to Bid Requests from suppliers, do not submit Bid Requests or requests for Sales Calls.
