The following Privacy Policy is applicable to all of the information collected during your use of Wensmann Homes, Inc. web sites. Please read this information carefully before accessing any part of the sites.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Wensmann recognizes and respects the privacy of users of its web sites. To better protect your privacy, we are providing this Policy to explain our online information practices and the way that we may collect and use information from you.

From time to time, Wensmann may provide personally identifiable information from your information requests, its registration database, and/or its mailing list (collectively referred to herein as "mailing list") to selected third-party sponsors, businesses or organizations, who may send e-mail messages and other information to you. Wensmann will endeavor to only provide such information to reputable companies and organizations. Wensmann, however, is not responsible for the collection or maintenance practices of such third parties. You may request that we not share your information with any third-party sponsors, businesses or organizations, by sending us an email at webmaster@wensmann.com or mailing your request to:

Webmaster, Wensmann Homes
1895 Plaza Drive #200
Eagan, Minnesota (651) 406-4400

Wensmann will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

The Information We Collect
Generally, Wensmann may gather and aggregate information about visitors to its web sites by tracking the usage of certain features available on the web sites. The collection of this information enables Wensmann to tailor its content to your needs, keep you informed of information that you may find of interest, and to help better understand the demographics of its audience, which assists it in providing appropriate products and services to its customers.
Information Systems Security Policy and Notification Procedures
In the event a breach of the security system occurs for which we reasonably believe that an unauthorized party has acquired your unencrypted personal information maintained on our computer systems, we will notify you of that intrusion by sending you an e-mail message at the electronic mail address that we have on file for you. For purposes of this section, "personal information" means your name in combination with (a) Social Security number; (b) driver's license number; or (c) account number, credit or debit card number, in combination with any required security code, access code, or password that would permit access to your financial account. Not with standing the foregoing, "personal information" does not mean information that may be publicly available. Although we will attempt to notify you of such breach in a prompt matter, our notification to you may be delayed consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and the time necessary to restore the reasonable integrity of any such affected data system.

Registration or Information Requests
Additionally, at certain sections of our web sites you may register or request to receive additional information or services. During these processes, you may be asked to provide the following personally-identifiable information: your name, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address, information about the size and/or ages of members of your household or business, and/or employment, business and/or home preference information. Wensmann and/or its designee will use this information in responding to your request.

When you register, you may also be given the opportunity to be on Wensmann’s mailing list for future information. If you decide to be on our mailing list, Wensmann will maintain your personally identifiable information in secure on-line and off-line facilities. Your personally identifiable information will only be disclosed to certain employees of Wensmann or its designees with a business purpose to review your information, or to selected companies as described below, see Sharing. Except as set forth in this Policy, if you decide not to be on our mailing list, Wensmann will not maintain your personally identifiable information for longer than is reasonably necessary to respond to your request and maintain its computer systems, except that Wensmann may utilize your personal information in aggregated statistics.

Moreover, consistent with our Commitment to Privacy, unless you request that we not share your information, we may share your requests, including your personally-identifiable information, with third-party homebuilders or other parties so that such third parties can contact you, including by sending you e-mail and other information to you. Wensmann, however, is not responsible for the collection or maintenance practices of such third parties.

Electronic Mail Messages and Inquiries to Wensmann Homes
We will use return email addresses to answer, or have our designee’s answer, electronic mail messages that we may receive. Consistent with our Commitment to Privacy, unless you specifically request that we not include your address and/or other information for our mailing list, we reserve the right to keep and disclose your address and other information as if you registered to be on our mailing list. (See Registration or Information Requests)

Contest or Other Drawings
On some pages of our sites, you may be given the opportunity to register to enter contests or sweepstakes. In connection with your entry, you may be requested or required to provide certain personally identifiable information about yourself, including your name, address, age, gender, telephone number, email address, and/or various interests. By submitting your entry, you acknowledge that, in addition to providing your information to relevant taxing authorities as may be required; we will maintain your information for our mailing list. (See Registration or Information Requests.) If you do not wish for us to maintain your information, please see the section of this Policy on Correcting Your Information.

Other Disclosures
Finally, Wensmann may store and disclose personal information as allowed or required by applicable law, including making disclosures that are necessary or advisable to: (a) protect the rights, safety or property of Wensmann or others or (b) conform to legal or regulatory requirements.
