Design House, Inc. Privacy Policy

Last Revised: 3.8.2021
Design House, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Design House,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your privacy through our compliance with this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”). This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Platform Terms and Conditions (https://designhouse.design/privacy), into which this Policy is incorporated by reference.
This Policy describes:
The types of information we collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our website available at https://designhouse.design/ (the “Website), when you use the Design House software (the “Software”), as well as any web-based services, mobile applications (“apps”), websites and blogs owned or operated by or for Design House (collectively, our “Platforms”).


Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
This Policy applies to information we collect on the Platforms or in emails and other electronic messages between you and our Platforms, and information gathered when you interact with our advertising on third-party websites if such advertisements include links to this Policy.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, then please do not use our Platforms. By using our Platforms, you agree to the terms of this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see below, “Changes to this Policy”). Your continued use of our Platforms after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.
What We Collect and How We Collect It
To ensure that we provide you with the best possible experience, we will store, use, and share information about you in accordance with this Policy.
Information You Provide to Us
Personal Information is any information that can be used to individually identify you from a larger group, such as data including, but not limited to, your:
 - first and last name;
 - email address;
 - telephone number;
 - company name; 

Personal Information you collect on behalf of your customers or other third parties (“Organizations”) and provide to us; and comments or messages provided in free text boxes.
You may provide us Personal Information when you:
 - request information;
 - submit Personal Information through the Platforms;
 - subscribe to our emails; and
 - register yourself with any of the Platforms.

The information that you provide in each case will vary. You may have the opportunity to provide Design House with Personal Information you collect from Organizations. Whenever you provide Design House with Personal Information of a third party, it is your responsibility to ensure you have all the necessary consents and authorizations necessary to share third-party Personal Information and to permit processing of such Personal Information by Design House in accordance with this Policy before providing it to Design House.

In some cases, you may be able to provide Personal Information via email or free text box, such as contacting Design House to request further information. When providing Personal Information, please provide only relevant information and do not provide unnecessary sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, or other sensitive Personal Information. Additionally, we may ask you to create a username and password that should only be known to you.


Automated Information Collection
In addition to the information that you provide to us, we may also collect information about you during your use of our Platforms. We collect this information using automated tools that are detailed below. These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), the pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Platforms. Some of the tools we use to automatically collect information about you may include:
Cookies. A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your device’s hard drive. Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use either (or both) of them:

(1) session cookies, which do not stay on your device after you close your browser, and

(2) persistent cookies, which remain on your device until you delete them or they expire.
Of course, if you do not wish to have cookies on your devices, you may turn them off at any time by modifying your internet browser’s settings. However, by disabling cookies on your device, you may be prohibited from full use of the Platforms’ features or lose access to some functionality.
Analytics. The Platforms send aggregated, non-Personal Information to trusted third-party partners for the purpose of providing us with the ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Platforms’ performances.

Web Beacons. A Web Beacon is an electronic image. Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server allowing us to understand some of your behavior. If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails. We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so. Some of the third-party marketers we engage with may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our Platforms. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your Personal Information. Please note that any image file on a webpage can act as a Web Beacon.


Embedded Web Links. Links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link. The tracking is accomplished through a redirection system. The redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients. Some of these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you. This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.


Third-party Websites and Services. We work with a number of service providers of marketing communications technology. These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide. The information collected can be gathered on our Platforms and also on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing. For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third-party websites.


AdTech, Tokens, and MAIDs. Our Platforms may also make use of advertising technology, including, but not limited to, Mobile Ad IDs (“MAIDs”) and other related technology (collectively “AdTech”). AdTech may assign a specific code to your device to anonymously and semi-persistently identify you to advertising networks and other websites. As such, AdTech collects your user history as well as demographic and behavioral information about what you do while using the Platforms. The Platforms may make use of both Apple’s MAID (IDFA) and Google’s MAID (AAID). In turn, we may share MAIDs and related information with trusted third parties so that we can better target offers of interest to you. You can adjust and limit the type of ad tracking AdTech performs on your device by visiting the appropriate settings on your device. However, limiting MAIDs or other AdTech, you may be prohibited from full use of our Platforms’ features or lose access to some functionality.
Your Choices and Selecting Your Privacy Preferences
We want to provide you with relevant information that you have requested.
If we ever provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed. Transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.
We will not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent to receive such marketing information. After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email. Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing you may affect other services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a requirement of the service provided.
Accuracy and Access to Your Personal Information
We strive to maintain and process your information accurately. We have processes in place to maintain all of our information in accordance with relevant data governance frameworks and legal requirements. We employ technologies designed to help us maintain information accuracy on input and processing. 

To view and change the Personal Information that you have provided to us, you can contact us directly for assistance.

Information of Minors
We do not intentionally seek to gather information from individuals under the age of eighteen (18). We do not target the Platforms to minors, and would not expect them to be engaging with our Platforms or services. We encourage parents and guardians to provide adequate protection measures to prevent minors from providing information unwillingly on the internet. If we are aware of any Personal Information that we have collected about minors, we will take steps to securely remove it from our systems. 

How We Use Your Information

The information we gather and that you provide is collected to provide you information and the services you request, in addition to various other purposes, including, but not limited to:
Assisting you with items such as personalized experiences, facilitation of product usage, and enforcement of this Policy and the Terms and Conditions (https://designhouse.design/privacy).
Your participation in sweepstakes and promotions.

Preventing malicious activity and providing you with a secure experience.
Providing service and support for services you request.

Providing marketing communications that are effective and optimized for you.
Keeping you up-to-date with the latest benefits available from us.
Preventing unwanted messages or content.

Measuring the performance of our marketing programs. 

Contacting you about services and offers that are relevant to you. 

By providing us with your Personal Information or business affiliation, you consent to Design House’s use of that information in our marketing programs and campaigns. 

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or lease your Personal Information to any third party. We may disclose your Personal Information to our trusted third-party business partners in accordance with this Policy. We work with a number of partners that help us process your requests, deliver customer service and support, send email marketing communications, and provide experiences that you have come to expect from us. We will share your Personal Information with these third parties in order to fulfill the service that they provide to us. These third-party partners are under contract to keep your Personal Information secure and not to use it for any reason other than to fulfill the service we have requested from them.
Except as described in this Policy, we will not share your information with third parties without your notice and consent, unless it is under one of the following circumstances: 

Responding to duly authorized information requests from law enforcement or other governmental authorities.

Complying with any law, regulations, subpoena, or court order.

Investigating and helping prevent security threats, fraud, or other malicious activity.

Enforcing or protecting the rights and properties of Design House or its subsidiaries. 

Protecting the rights or personal safety of Design House’s employees. 

There are circumstances where Design House may decide to buy, sell, or reorganize its business in selected countries. Under these circumstances, it may be necessary to share or receive Personal Information with prospective or actual partners or affiliates. In such circumstances, Design House will ensure your information is used in accordance with this Policy. 

Third-party Websites  

This Policy does not apply to websites or other domains that are maintained or operated by third parties or our affiliates, such as Facebook. Our Platforms may link to third-party websites and services, but these links are not endorsements of these websites, and this Policy does not extend to them. Because this Policy is not enforced on these third-party websites, we encourage you to read any posted privacy policy of the third-party website before using the service or website and providing any information. 

Your California Rights

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, we will not disclose or share your Personal Information with third parties for the purposes of third-party marketing to you without your prior consent. 

Other than as disclosed in this Policy, the Platforms do not track users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising. Therefore, the Platforms do not operate any differently when it receives Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals from your internet web browser. 

If you are a California consumer, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, you may be afforded additional rights with respect to your “Personal Information” as that term is explicitly defined under California law. Any Personal Information we collect is collected for the commercial purpose of effectively providing our services to you, as well as enabling you to learn more about, and benefit from, our services. You may exercise each of your rights as identified below, subject to our verification of your identity. 

Access. You may email us at [email protected] to request a copy of the Personal Information our Platforms’ databases currently contain.

Prohibit Data Sharing. When applicable, you may prohibit the sharing of your Personal Information by submitting a request via email to [email protected]. In your email, please explain how you wish us to prohibit the sharing of your Personal Information, and which categories of third parties you want to prohibit from receiving your Personal Information. When such prohibitions are not possible to provide our services to you, we will advise you accordingly. You can then choose to exercise any other rights under this Policy.

Portability. Upon request and when possible, we can provide you with copies of your Personal Information. You may submit a request via email to [email protected]. When such a request cannot be honored, we will advise you accordingly. You can then choose to exercise any other rights under this Policy.

Deletion. If you should wish to cease use of our Platforms and have your Personal Information deleted from our Platforms, then you may submit a request by emailing us at [email protected]. Upon receipt of such a request for deletion, we will confirm receipt and will confirm once your Personal Information has been deleted. Where applicable, we will ensure such changes are shared with trusted third parties.

We do not sell your Personal Information. If we ever decide to sell Personal Information, we will update you via this Policy and include a link entitled “Do Not Sell My Personal Information,” to provide you with an opportunity to opt out of sales of your Personal Information.
If a California resident exercises his or her rights under California law, including the CCPA, we shall not discriminate against that California resident by denying our goods or services, charging different prices or rates to similarly situated consumers, providing a different level or quality of our goods or services, or taking any other adverse action.

For Platform Visitors Outside of the United States

Our Platforms are designed for use by individuals in the United States only. We do not warrant or represent this Policy or the Platforms’ use of your Personal Information complies with the laws of any other jurisdiction. Furthermore, to provide you with our services, we may store, process, and transmit information in the United States and other locations around the world, including countries that may not have the same privacy and security laws as yours.
