Your privacy is very important to us and you can be assured that our privacy practices are held to high standards. We may amend the terms of this privacy policy from time to time. When we do so, we will notify you by posting the change(s) on our site and by sending you the information at your email address as it appears on our records, any continued use of the website after we notify you of the changes will constitute your agreement to such change(s). This agreement was last revised on March 24, 2003. As part of the normal operation of our services we collect and in some cases, disclose information about you. This privacy policy describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information. We have prepared a privacy policy, because we believe that you should know as much as possible about Columbia Communities' practices, so that you can make an informed decision. As described below, some of your personally identifiable information may be used to us and disclosed to third parties. By accepting the User Agreement, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information. This privacy policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the Columbia Communities User Agreement found in Legal Disclaimers.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient and customized experience while using our services. This allows us to provide services with features that most likely meet your needs and enhance your visit for an easier and quicker navigation. We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address. In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. If you send us personal correspondence such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence, we may collect such information in a file specific to you.
We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site's content, layout and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our users' needs.

If you provide us with contact information, we use your email address, your mailing address and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new programs, services, offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the site.
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this privacy policy. Although we use industry standard practices to protect our privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private. We may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in aggregate to advertisers - including other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to personally identify you. If required, we may provide information about you to nonaffiliated third parties without your consent, as permitted by law, such as: To respond to a subpoena or court order, judicial process or regulatory authorities; To consumer reporting agencies; In connection with a proposed or actual sale, merger or transfer of all or a portion of a business or operating unit; or To protect against fraud.

To the extent that you disclose your information to other users, or co-branded providers of services or products, or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information that you disclose to them.

We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
Columbia Communities uses industry standard efforts to safeguard
the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information,
such as firewalls and secure socket layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet. Welcome | Builder's Story | Communities | Imagery | Customer Care | Contact Us |
