Notification of Changes
This privacy policy may be revised over time as
new features are added to USWEBSITEBUILDER service or as we incorporate
suggestions from our customers. If we are going to use or disclose
your personally identifiable information in a manner materially different
from that stated at the time we collected the information, you will
have a choice as to whether or not we use or disclose your information
in this new manner. Any material changes will be effective only after

Privacy Policy (if you have closed your USWEBSITEBUILDER account,
you will not be contacted to notify you of the amended Policy and
your personal information will not be used or disclosed in this new
manner).
We will post the amended Privacy Policy prominently
on our Website so that you can always review what information we gather,
how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it
to anyone. Please check the USWEBSITEBUILDER Website at http://www.uswebsitebuilder.com at any time for the most current version of our privacy policy.

Certain information, such as passwords and email

If you decide to purchase any USWEBSITEBUILDER

billing address (“Financial Information”). Financial information
that is collected is used to check you qualifications for sign up,
to bill you for products and services. USWEBSITEBUILDER does not share
Financial Information with outside parties except to the extent necessary
to provide you with the USWEBSITEBUILDER Services.
We use cookies (small files of data that we send

cookies expire and no longer have any effect.
We do not link the information we store in cookies

information about your business, your products and services, your
Website address (URL), your contact information and other information,
to such search engines and create a database of publicly available
information about you or your business to its search partners with
the express purpose of driving Internet user traffic to Websites,
