Your privacy is very important to us. Part of our operation of this website involves the collection and use of information about you. This privacy policy explains what type of information we collect and what we do with that information to allow you to make choices about the way your information is collected and used. This privacy policy may change from time to time, so please check it often. By providing personal information to us, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers.
What Information Do We Collect?
In general, you can visit this website without identifying who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Information collected online can generally be categorized as anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information is information that cannot be connected to the identity of a specific individual. An example of anonymous information is the fact that, while this website may record the number of visits to a particular page that occur in a given period of time, it does not necessarily tell us the names or other identifying information of every visitor. Many users of this website will choose not to provide any personally identifiable information; therefore, those individuals are anonymous to us, and any data collected about their use of this website is anonymous information.
Personally identifiable information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number and photos. We may also receive your personal information from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms (including from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected) and from other third parties.
We may need to collect personally identifiable information in order to provide certain Services and may use personally identifiable information to communicate with you. If you refuse to provide such information when required, we may not be able to provide certain Services, such as registering your user name. If you submit to us or to our service providers any personal information relating to other people, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may collect the physical location of your device in order to record and publish information on your position and to show you products offered by users close to you. The Company may collect this information by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or WiFi signals. You may allow or deny such collection and publication of your device’s location, but it may affect your use of the Company Sites (for example, by not allowing us to post your Product for sale in a determined geographic location).
Automatic Anonymous Information
When you visit our site, we collect certain technical and routing information about your computer. We collect this information and use it to measure the use of this website and to improve its content and performance. All of the information that is automatically submitted to us by your browser is considered anonymous information. To the extent we share such information with third parties, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you.
We might collect, among other things, information about your browser or device, app usage data, information through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies, and aggregated information. This information may include: usage data, such as the date and time your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded based on your device number; we may also collect information about other applications that you may have on your device (but not about the contents of those applications); we may also collect Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, device manufacturer and model, language, Internet browser type and version; the operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider and your “click path” through the Company Sites; IP address, which we may use for purposes such as calculating usage levels, diagnosing server problems and administering the Services; and we may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
Cookies
We may use cookies, web beacons, unique identifiers, and similar technologies to manage our users’ sessions and to store preferences, tracking information, and language selection. Cookies may be used whether you register with us or not. “Cookies” are small text files transferred by a web server to your hard drive and thereafter stored on your computer. The types of information a cookie collects include the date and time you visited, your browsing history and your preferences.
We may use the information collected through cookies to promote, highlight, or otherwise feature certain items in connection with your use of the Services. We may use the responses to these promoted or featured items, or your search queries and results, to customize the Services to you.
You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being sent; if you do so, this may limit the functionality we can provide you when you visit our site.
Third parties that link on the Company Sites may use cookies or collect other information when you go to their site. We do not control the collection or use of your information by these companies. You should contact these companies directly if you have any questions about their collection or use of information about you.
Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not address, and the Company is not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or service to which the Company Sites link.
We also may use a third-party payment service to process payments made through the Company Sites. If you wish to make a payment through the Company Sites, your personal information may be collected by such third party and not by us, and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information.
How Do We Use Information We Collect?
We collect personally identifiable information to provide the services you request, generating statistical studies, for marketing purposes, improving products and services, sending you surveys, and notifying you of new products and any other changes to our site or services that may affect you. When you submit personally identifiable information to us, you understand that you are agreeing to allow us to access, store, and use that information for those purposes.
We may use your Product listing, including the uploaded photo or image of the Product as well as other data (including user name and location and Product description), for our own advertising purposes, including social media, Facebook ads, newsletters and ads for any media.
We will not sell your personally identifiable information to any third parties, but we may disclose the personal information we collect from you to our affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; to our service providers who provide services such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, order fulfillment, information technology and related infrastructure provision, customer service, email delivery, auditing and other services; and to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock. We may aggregate personal information, which when aggregated does not personally identify you or any other user of the Services. For example, we may aggregate personal information to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular zip code.
We may use or disclose the personal information we collect from you as we believe necessary or appropriate, including, but not limited to, using and disclosing personal information for the following purposes: to protect people or property, to protect our services, rights or property, to enforce our Terms and Conditions of Use, to comply with legal requirements, to respond to legal process or law enforcement requests and to comply with requests from other public and government authorities.
Public Information
Any information you post on the Company Sites will become public and may be available to other users and the general public. We urge you to be very careful when deciding what information to disclose through the Company Sites.
Your user name and geographic location will be made available to the public when you use the Company Sites, such as Product listings, so you should exercise discretion when using the Company Sites. Personal information posted by you or disclosed by you to other users may be collected by other users of the Company Sites and may result in unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for protecting such information that you may disclose to third parties through the Company Sites.
Electronic Communications and Opt-Out Policy
Where permitted by applicable law, we may contact you and/or send to you commercial communications via electronic communications, such as email, to inform about our products, services, offers, or any commercial content related to the Company. If you do not want to receive marketing emails from us, you can always opt-out by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in such emails. Please note that even if you opt-out from receiving commercial communications, you may still receive administrative communications from the Company, such as transaction confirmations, notifications about your account activities (e.g. account confirmations, password changes, etc.), and any other important announcements.
Security
We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized individuals have access to the personally identifiable information provided by our users. No website or internet transmission is, however, completely secure. Consequently, the Company cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the Company Sites is at your own risk.
Transfer of Customer Information
Customer lists and information are properly considered assets of a business. Accordingly, if we merge with another entity or if we sell our assets to another entity, our customer lists and information, including personally identifiable information you have provided us, would be included among the assets that would be transferred.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
The Company, in its sole discretion and at any time and without liability, may modify the terms of this Privacy Policy. You are responsible for checking for modifications to this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to the Privacy Policy, we will provide you with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within our Sites or by sending you electronic correspondence. Your access to and use of the Sites following any modification to this Privacy Policy shall constitute your agreement with such changes. If you do not wish to continue using the Sites under the new version of the Privacy Policy, you may close your account by contacting us through the “Contact Us” link at be http://goodbyetoys.com/contact-us/.
