What types of information does Centric collect?

Centric may collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.

Centric may collect information you voluntarily provide when you personalize your user profile and utilize the features of our Online Services or through one of our community partners such as your home builder or home-owners association (HOA). Centric may request optional information from you to support your use of our Online Services such as your year of birth, gender and other demographic information. We collect information from the content that you choose to submit during your use of our Online Services, such as photos, comments, and ratings. Information you provide online may also be used to provide you with a more personalized experience, including through social networks.

Please also review the Centric Network Management and Open Internet Policy for additional information regarding the interaction of the Centric Network and your use of the Online Services.
