Interest-Based Advertising And Analytics

Generally. Interest-based advertising or online behavior advertising, commonly referred to as “OBA, ” uses information collected about your online behavior across websites, applications and devices, and over time, to deliver to you advertisements that will be relevant, and of interest, to you based on your previous online behavior. The information collected shows, among other information, your preferences, your usage patterns and, in some cases, your general location, which are used to fashion advertisements. It is a means of targeting the right products and services to the right consumers. Most interest-based advertisements are not targeted to you individually, but instead, to the interest groups in which website owners, third party ad servers, digital advertising agencies and networks or third party data aggregators have placed you, based upon your previous online behavior using all of your devices. Capitalized terms in this Interest-Based Advertising and Analytics are defined in the Definitions section of this Interest-Based Advertising and Analytics.

D.R. Horton Interest-Based Advertising. D.R. Horton, together with its builder and  leasing affiliates, including DHI Communities, Inc., utilizes Third-Party Service Providers to deliver advertisements, including interest-based advertisements, to you based on your previous online behavior, including your browsing history, as well as other Automated Information that our Third-Party Service Providers have collected about you while you have visited websites and utilized applications, including our own. Our interest-based advertisements may be delivered to you on our Sites, across the Internet and across your devices. The goal of our interest-based advertising is to send advertisements to a large group of consumers who are interested in buying a D.R. Horton home. Our hope is to provide you with opportunities to purchase our homes and avoid wasting your time with advertisements that are of little, or no, interest to you.

Our Third-Party Service Providers that deliver interest-based advertisements to you do so, in part, by collecting Automated Information about you. Except as otherwise classified by applicable law, this Automated Information is not Personal Information, but instead Anonymous Information. This Anonymous Information does not identify, and cannot be used to reasonably determine the identity of, an individual. Instead, it is used to place you in large interest-based groups, for example, folks that watch television or live in the northwestern portion of the United States. If we link Anonymous Information with your Personal Information, we will treat all of the linked information as Personal Information. To learn more about the categories of Personal Information we collect, and the rights you may have regarding that Personal Information, please visit our Privacy Policy.
