Like many websites, when you visit our Site, we may send a cookie or gif file (“Cookie”) to assign an anonymous, unique identifier to the applicable end-user’s Internet browser. To be clear, a Cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing non-personally identifiable information about you. Cookies have many benefits to enhance your experience with our products and services.
When you visit a website, that website’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for Cookies. Each website can send its own Cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the Cookies it has already sent to you, not the Cookies sent to you by other websites.

Protecting Children’s Privacy
We are strongly committed to protecting the safety and privacy of children who visit our Site. Our Site is not designed nor is it intended to be used by children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 and have adopted techniques to ensure compliance with this Privacy Policy and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”).

What Information Build Collective Collects And How We Use It
We do not require children to share any Personal Information in order to participate on this Site. On occasion, however, we may collect Personal Information, such as an email address from a child as part of an activity, in accordance with COPPA. For example, we may collect a child’s email address in order to respond to a one-time request from the child, such as if the child asks us a question. In such case, we promptly delete the child’s email address from our system once we have responded, and we do not use the child’s email address for any other purpose.
We may also collect Personal Information automatically from your child’s computer or device, such as the frequency with which the child visits our Site and the pages visited, to support the internal operations of the Site. We collect this information so we can understand and monitor usage of the Site, customize content on the Site, and improve the performance of the Site. This information is collected using technologies such as Cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. This information is not used to behaviorally target children.
Special Circumstances For Information Sharing And Security
