International Visitors
For users of the Site from the European Union or other non-U.S. territories, please note that any data you enter into the Site will be transferred outside the EU or those other non-U.S. territories for use by Verano Builders DBA and its affiliates for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

For international users, please note that laws in the United States may not provide the same level of protection from information (which users provide to Verano Builders or which Verano Builders collects from users in connection with the Site) as the laws of the user’s country of residence.
Sweepstakes and Contests
From time to time, VB may host promotions and sweepstakes that may be sponsored and administered by outside parties. When you enter a sweepstakes or contest through an email entry, your email entry is sent to the supplier house that we use to help us gather entries for our sweepstakes and contests. When the winners have been selected, the winners’ email addresses may be shared with the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest, so that the winners can be notified. When you enter a sweepstakes or contest through a mail-in entry, the information you provide on your mail-in entry is sent directly to the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest.
VB shares no other information with third parties in connection with any sweepstakes or contest. To the extent that any privacy information relating to a particular sweepstakes or contest conflicts with the information provided in our Privacy Policy, the specific privacy information regarding such sweepstakes or contest will be clearly stated in an area that will be accessible to potential entrants and will govern that particular sweepstakes or contest.
Information Disclosed to Strategic Partners with Membership/Reward Programs.
We do work with and may in the future work with certain companies who, in conjunction with their own membership or rewards programs, require that we disclose certain information about their customers who (i) visit the Veranosbuilders.com website through links from the partner sites or (ii) use the partner's credit card to make purchases on the applicable Veranosbuilders.com Web Site (e.g., to earn points for purchases made on such Veranosbuilders.com Web Site through links from the partner site). We disclose only the information required to make these programs work and support your membership with them, which typically includes the name and/or email address of the user as well as the dollar amount of any purchases made. Typically, this information is disclosed to such companies under an agreement that requires that they obtain your consent first, usually under the membership or participation rules. If you do not want us to disclose that information to the strategic partner, then you must contact them directly. Usually, that will preclude you from participating in the special membership or rewards program offered by that company.
Special Promotional Offers From time to time
VB would like to share with you special promotional offers from other companies, which we have specially screened. These promotional offers may provide valuable savings to you. If you do not want to receive these offers, you may let us know by sending an e-mail message to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Policy". Please include your User Name and the words "Block from third parties".
