A cookie is a small file that may be stored on your computer or other device. A cookie enables the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognize it across different websites, services, devices, and browsing sessions. When you use a web browser to access the Services, some browsers may allow you to configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent.

Our websites use these technologies for the following general purposes:

Administering and improving our Services, including helping us measure and research the effectiveness of our content, features, advertisements, and other communications.

Your California Privacy Rights

You may opt out of having your personal information shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes by e-mailing us at: terms@starbuidingroup.com

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites and other online services with which a user communicates. There is no industry standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a standard is established and accepted, we may revisit our policy on responding to these signals.

California residents who are registered members or users of the Services and are under the age of 18 may be entitled under California law to request and obtain removal of content and information that they themselves post on the Services. You may request such removal by emailing us at: terms@starbuidingroup.com. In your request, please provide a description of the material that you want removed and information sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including your name, email address, year of birth, mailing address (including city, state, and zip code) and the subject line “California Removal Request.” Please note that your request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the material. For example, materials that you have posted may be republished or reposted by another user or third party.

Collection of Information From Children Under the Age of 13

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. Persons over 13 but under 18 years of age should ask their parents for permission before using the Services or sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

a. Parental Control Provisions

We cannot prohibit minors from visiting this Website, and must rely on parents and guardians to decide what materials are appropriate for children to view or purchase. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 230(d), as amended, please note that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available at Norton by Symantec (https://family.norton.com/web/), Net Nanny (https://www.netnanny.com/), or by using Google or another search engine to find websites with the search phrase “parental control.”

If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at: terms@starbuildinggroup.com

Privacy laws and guidelines are part of a constantly changing environment. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time.
