Fraudulent Requests.

The Builder Market takes consumer requests seriously, and endeavors to protect your privacy and comply with your requests. However, if The Builder Market has a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a consumer request is fraudulent, The Builder Market may deny such a request. This basis for denial applies to all consumer requests and may be subject to the limitations and requirements of applicable, state privacy laws with which The Builder Market will always comply.

Examples of fraudulent requests include, but are not limited to:

Impersonating another person.If you make a request, you must do so in your own name, or as an authorized agent of another person. If you are an authorized agent of another person, you must disclose that fact and provide proof of the consumer’s authorization.
Obscuring your identity as a consumer making a request.Knowing who is making a request about their information is foundational to the process of completing those requests. Examples of this include forging headers, using a virtual private network (VPN) to obscure your IP address, or otherwise obscuring or anonymizing your email or IP address. The Builder Market is happy to comply with your request but it is essential that we know you are a real person and that you are who you claim to be.
Using automated means to send multiple unverified requests or requests without proof of authorization.The Builder Market is happy to work with third party authorized agents to process bulk consumer requests. Using automated means to submit multiple or bulk unverified requests, or requests without any proof of authorization, to The Builder Market puts a disproportionate load on our systems and interferes with our processing of legitimate consumer requests.

California Shine the Light

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their ‘personal information’ (if any, and as defined under applicable California law) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties.

California Erasure Law

As mentioned in this Policy, we do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of 18. While we delete such information as it comes to our attention, California residents under the age of 18 may have additional rights under CA Senate Bill No. 568, commonly referred to as the Erasure Law. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 you may be entitled to request that we remove from our Services content you posted to our services that can be accessed by any other user (whether registered or not) under that law. Please note that any content that is removed from our services may still remain on our servers and in our systems for backup and legal compliance purposes. To request removal of content under this provision, please send an email to [email protected] and provide us with a description of the content and the location of the content on our Services, and any other information we may require to consider your request.
