Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us, and we are committed to protecting it and respecting it. The following governs our use of the personal information you provide through this website.

Security

Personal information you give us is kept confidential and protected using industry-standard technology, such as firewalls and secure socket layers (SSL), a sophisticated internet encryption technology that scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our website’s servers.

Any personal information stored on our web server is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly accessible areas of the website. No transmission of data over the internet or any other public network, however, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we make diligent efforts to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, we cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us.

Cookies

This website employs cookie technology. A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website asks your browser to store on your hard drive. This information helps the website “recognize” you instantly. Cookies recall information you entered before so you don’t have to reenter it again, keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, tell us what pages on the site you previously visited, and help us determine whether you came to the site from a particular internet link. If you prefer, you can disable cookies on your browser settings. You may still use our website, even with cookies disabled.

Personal information that we may collect

BBR collects the following types of personal information: names, postal and email addresses, phone and facsimile numbers, donations of building materials, sales history, and financial contribution history. BBR does not collect or maintain information from those actually known to be under the age of 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13.

We do not sell, rent, exchange, or otherwise share email addresses to anyone outside Boston Building Resources. If this specific policy should ever change, we will first post the policy changes on this page and then notify you by email about such changes, giving you the opportunity to opt out of any email address sharing programs.

However, within Boston Building Resources, we do use email addresses collected from an assortment of website transactions and interactions to send periodic communications about our work in general and about specific subjects which we believe may be of interest to you.

How BBR may use personal information collected online

BBR will use your personal information for the purpose for which it was submitted, such as to reply to inquiries, process donations of materials, process sales, or process financial contributions. We will use such information to provide operational notices, in program record keeping, and to conduct analyses of our program. Analysis may lead to the publication of aggregate demographic data, but will not result in the reporting or publication of any personal information provided to us. Donors of materials and financial contributors may have their names listed in our annual report. Donors of materials, financial contributors, BBR members, and those who have requested information about either organization will receive occasional requests for financial contributions. If you would like your gifts to remain anonymous, or would like not to receive solicitations, you may email your request to info@bostonbuildingresources.com or call 617-442-2262, ext. 235.

How your information may be shared

We will release personal information under the following circumstances:

  • Where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation, or is requested by an agency for governmental investigative purposes or governmental proceedings;

  • Where there are indications of fraudulent or illegal activity of which a governmental agency should be made aware;

  • To appropriate persons, where your communication suggests possible harm to others.

Help us keep your personal information accurate

If your personal information changes, or if you would like to review the personal information we may have on file, please email us with the new information or your review request.
