INTRODUCTION
BuiltbyPottsy respects each individual's right to personal privacy. We will collect and use information through our Web site only in the ways disclosed in this statement. This policy applies solely to activity at and information collected by BuiltbyPottsy's Web site.
WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS
This policy describes rights retained by BuiltbyPottsy in regard to content ('Rights Information'), and covers how BuiltbyPottsy treats personal information that we collect and receive, including that related to your past use of our products and services ('Privacy Information'). Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that BuiltbyPottsy does not own or control, or to people that BuiltbyPottsy does not employ or manage. In addition, certain associated companies such as Authorize.net have their own privacy statements that can be viewed by at their individual web sites.
Further, this policy describes specific rights retained by BuiltbyPottsy for copyrighted materials and other intellectual properties contained within this site with regard to their protection.

In order to improve our business, BuiltbyPottsy may buy or sell a company, or one or more of the companies in our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by another company. If we sell a business, we would probably transfer some or all of your information as a part of the sale, in order that the service being provided to you may continue. In that event, you will receive notice, through our Web site, of that change in control and practices, and we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser honors any opt-out requests you might make of us.
We may also release information when we believe it is necessary and appropriate to comply with applicable laws or to protect the rights, property or safety of BuiltbyPottsy, our employees, customers, Web site visitors, or others.
