  • When you access, use, or contact us through the NoviHome Services.

  • When you voluntarily provide information through the NoviHome Services.

  • If you use a location-enabled browser, we may receive information about your location and device.

4. Tracking Tools, Behavioral Advertising, and Opt Out Options

 

4.1. Tracking Tools

We may use tools outlined below in order to provide the NoviHome Services, advertise to, and better understand users.

  • Cookies: “Cookies” are small computer files transferred to your device that contain information such as user ID, user preferences, lists of pages visited and activities conducted while using the NoviHome Services. We use Cookies to: (i) improve and tailor the NoviHome Services, (ii) customize advertisements, (iii) measure performance, (iv) store authentication so re-entering credentials is not required, (v) customize user experiences, and for (vi) analytics and fraud prevention. For more information on Cookies, including how to control your Cookie settings and preferences, visit http://www.allaboutCookies.org. You can also manage Cookies in your web browser (for example, Edge, Explorer, Chrome, Safari). If you choose to change your settings, you may find that certain functions or features of the NoviHome Services will not work as intended. The following details the types of Cookies we use and why we use them:

    • Absolutely necessary Cookies. These Cookies are essential to enable you to move around a website and use its features. Without these Cookies, services you have asked for, like adding items to an online order, cannot be provided.

    • Performance Cookies. These Cookies collect information about how you use the NoviHome Services. Information collected includes, the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages viewed. These Cookies do not collect information that personally identifies you and only collect aggregated and anonymous information. Performance Cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of a website and enhance your experience.

    • Functionality Cookies. These Cookies allow the NoviHome Services to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the area or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These Cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the NoviHome Services. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

 

  • Web Beacons: “Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect information about the use of the NoviHome Services. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people are using the NoviHome Services, using selected publishers’ websites, or opening emails, and for what purpose.

 

  • Web Service Analytics:  We may use third-party analytics services in connection with the NoviHome Services, including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text typed into the NoviHome Services. We use the information collected from these services to help make the NoviHome Services easier to use and as otherwise set forth in Section 5 (How We Use Your Information). These analytics services generally do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it.

 

  • Mobile Device Identifiers:  As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help NoviHome learn more about our users’ demographics and Internet behaviors in order to personalize and improve the NoviHome Services. Mobile device identifiers are data stored on mobile devices that may track activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications installed on it.  Mobile device identifiers enable collection of personal information (such as media access control, address, and location) and Traffic Data.

 

4.2. Behavioral Advertising

We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising.  This means that some of our partners use Tracking Tools to collect information about a user’s online activities to display NoviHome ads to the user based on the user’s interests (“Behavioral Advertising”). Our partners may include third-party advertisers and other third-party service providers, and such partners may collect information when you use the NoviHome Services, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, and demographic information. These Tracking Tools help NoviHome learn more about our users’ demographics and Internet behaviors.

 

4.3. Options for Opting out of Cookies and Mobile Device Identifiers

If we process Cookies based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any point in time by contacting us at info@NoviHome.com. Please note, if you exercise this right, you may have to provide your consent on a case-by-case basis to enable you to utilize some or all of the NoviHome Services.

 

You may be able to reject Cookies and/or mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or device. Although you are not required to accept NoviHome’s Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the NoviHome Services.

 

  • You may opt out of receiving certain Cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt out page, or by installing the DAA’s AppChoices app (for iOS; for Android) on your mobile device. When you use these opt-out features, an “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertising from NAI or DAA member companies. If you delete Cookies on your device, you may need to opt out again. For information about how to opt out of interest-based advertising on mobile devices, please visit http://www.applicationprivacy.org/expressing-your-behavioral-advertising-choices-on-a-mobile-device. You will need to opt out of each browser and device for which you desire to apply these opt-out features.

 

  • Even after opting out of Behavioral Advertising, you may still see NoviHome advertisements that are not interest-based (i.e., not targeted toward you). Also, opting out does not mean that NoviHome is no longer using Tracking Tools. NoviHome still may collect information about your use of the NoviHome Services even after you have opted out of Behavioral Advertising and may still serve advertisements to you via the NoviHome Services based on information it collects through the NoviHome Services.

 

This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of Cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. Please be aware that some third-party Cookies can continue to track your activities online even after you have left the NoviHome Services.

 

4.4.  “Do Not Track” (DNT) and Universal Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including NoviHome, do not proactively respond to DNT signals.  For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

New standards are being developed for a Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which allow users with GPC-enabled browsers and devices to send a signal that will communicate the user’s request to opt-out of sales of their personal information and to opt-out of certain sharing of their personal information. The CPRA and other laws allow for the acceptance of Opt-Out Preference Signals such as the GPC, as an option for users to transmit an Opt-Out of selling/sharing personal information. If we detect and recognize such a signal from your device or browser, we will honor it.

 

5. How We Use Your Information

We do not engage in automated decision making. We may use information (including information that has been de-identified and/or aggregated) to better understand who uses the NoviHome Services and how we can deliver a better user experience.
