How We Use Your Personal Information

The value that we provide through the Company Sites may require the use of your Personal Information.

While we or third-parties acting on our behalf use information about our users on an aggregated basis and will often share such data with unaffiliated third parties, this information, by its aggregate nature, contains none of your Personal Information. When we refer to an “unaffiliated” third party, we mean one that (i) is not controlled by us, (ii) does not control us, and (iii) is not controlled by the same party controlling us.

We do not have any third-parties that are authorized to act on our behalf.

Except as explicitly stated in this privacy policy, we or third-parties acting on our behalf will not disclose to unaffiliated third parties any of your Personal Information without first obtaining your consent. We or third-parties acting on our behalf do and will continue to disclose your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties in the following circumstances:

  • If required by law, regulatory or court order, or legal process;
  • If we determine that doing so would be in the public interest (i.e., if we were to suspect that you were using the Company Sites in connection with the commission of a crime);
  • In connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization, or liquidation of the Company;
  • If you provide such information to us in connection with a promotion of a good or service offered by a third party, for purposes of such promotion, including, without limitation, sharing such information with that third party;
  • To provide you with certain services on the Company Sites that are provided by such parties, as reasonably required to provide such services and;
  • In the context of working with third-party contractors engaged by us in the provision of the Company Site or related matters.

After we or third-parties acting on our behalf disclose your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties in such instances, we can no longer control the use or further disclosure of your Personal Information. Consequently, we or third-parties acting on our behalf will not be responsible to you for such use or further disclosure.

Correcting Your Information

To the extent Dean Cathey Custom Homes and its affiliated companies maintain any account information on you, you can ensure that your account information is correct and current by reviewing and updating it at any time. You may do so as often as necessary by sending an e-mail to dean@deancathey.com and we will assist you in updating any of your information we have on file. Subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law, and provided we can authenticate your identity, you will be given reasonable access to your personal information, and will be entitled to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and to have it amended as appropriate. You may also ask to change your preferences regarding how we use or disclose your information, or let us know that you do not wish to receive any further communication from us.

However, because Dean Cathey Custom Homes and its affiliated companies act on behalf of our clients, it is the client that keeps the account information for all end-users or donors.

We or third-parties acting on our behalf do not ensure or otherwise warrant the security of information that you provide.
