This policy tells you about how we use and protect your
personal information
Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how
we handle your personal information for our services on our
websites. It applies generally to the Nellobyte Systems Ltd. website and other
related websites where this policy appears in the footer of the page. Some
of our branded websites or websites we operate may be governed by
separate privacy policies. The policy that applies on any of our domains or subdomains is always the policy that appears in the footer of each website.
Our subsidiaries’ and joint ventures’ privacy practices
are similar to those described in this Privacy Policy. Subject to the
requirements of applicable law, we strive to provide a consistent set of
privacy practices throughout the global trading community. By
accepting the Privacy Policy and the User Agreement in registration, you
expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your
personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy
Policy is effective upon acceptance for new users.
Collection
You can browse our sites without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. If
you choose to provide us with personal information, you consent to the
transfer and storage of that information on our servers.
We may
collect and store the following personal information:
·
email address, physical contact information, and (depending on
the service used) sometimes financial information, such as credit card or
bank account numbers;
·
transactional information based on your activities on the
sites (such as purchaseding, buying, selling, item and content you generate
or that relates to your account);
·
shipping, billing and other information you provide to
purchase or ship an item;
·
community discussions, chats, dispute resolution,
correspondence through our sites, and correspondence sent to us;

other information from your interaction with our sites,
services, content and advertising, including computer and connection
information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, ad
data, IP address and standard web log information;
·
information from other companies, such as demographic and
traffic data; and
·
other supplemental information from third parties (for
example, if you incur a debt to us, we will generally conduct a
credit check by obtaining additional information about you from a credit
bureau, as permitted by law; or if the information you provide cannot be
verified, we may ask you to send us additional information, such as your
driver license, credit card statement, or a recent utility bill or other
information confirming your address, or to answer additional questions
online to help verify your information).
Marketing
We may combine your information
such as email addresses, phone numbers e.t.c with information we
collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our
services, content and advertising. You may also receive adverts or messages
from us or a third party(individuals,companies,coporate organization e.t.c).
Use
Our primary purpose in collecting
personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and
customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information
to:
·
provide the services and customer support you request;
·
resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
·
prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and
enforce our User Agreement;
·
customize, measure and improve our services, content and
advertising;
·
tell you about targeted marketing, service updates, and
promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and
·
compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third
parties.
Our Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose personal
information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond
to claims that a listing or other content violates the rights of others, or
protect anyone's rights, property, or safety.
We may
also share your personal information with:
·
Members of our corporate family to help detect and prevent
potentially illegal acts and provide joint content and services (for
example, registration, transactions and customer support). Our corporate
affiliates will send marketing communications only to users who request
these services.
·
Service providers under contract who help with our business
operations (such as fraud investigations, bill collection, affiliate and
rewards programs and co-branded credit cards).
·
Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your
information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent
to when using a specific service).
·
Law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response
to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged
illegal activity. In such events, we will disclose information relevant to
the investigation, such as name, city, state, zip code, telephone number,
email address, User ID history, IP address, fraud complaints, and
purchaseding and listing history.
·
Our
VRO Program participants under confidentiality
agreement, as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in
connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, we will
disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number,
email address and company name.
·
Other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be
acquired by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will
require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect
to your personal information. If your personal information will be used
contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your
privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will
not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other
government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order
or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good
faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent
physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.
Activity Associated with User IDs
Your User ID is displayed
throughout our website and is therefore available to the public. All of
your activity on our sites is traceable to your User ID. Other people can
see your purchases, items that you have purchased in the past, items for
sale, storefronts, feedback, ratings and associated comments, and so on.
Notices are sent to other community members regarding suspicious activity
and policy violations on our sites and refer to User IDs and specific items.
Therefore, if you associate your name with your User ID, the people to whom
you have revealed your name will be able to personally identify your activities.
Using Information from Nellobyte Systems Ltd.
We enables you to
share personal and financial information to complete transactions. We
encourage you to disclose your privacy practices and respect the privacy of
other users. We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your information
and therefore we encourage you to evaluate the privacy and security policies
of your trading partner before entering into a transaction and choosing to
share your information. To help protect your privacy, we allow only limited
access to other users' contact, shipping and financial information to
facilitate your transactions. When users are involved in a transaction, they
may have access to each other's name, User ID, email address and other
contact and shipping information. In all cases, you must give other users a
chance to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what
information you have collected about them.
You agree
to use user information only for:
·
Our transaction-related purposes that are not
unsolicited commercial messages;
·
using services offered through our (e.g.
escrow, insurance, shipping and fraud complaints), or
·
other purposes that a user expressly chooses.
Cookies
We use "cookies" (small files
placed on your hard drive) on certain of our pages to help analyze our web
page flow; customize our services, content and advertising; measure
promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety
A few
important things you should know about cookies are that:
·
We offer certain features that are available only through the
use of cookies.
·
We use cookies to help identify you and maintain your
signed-in status.
·
Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are
automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.
·
You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, although doing so may interfere with your use of some of our sites
or services.
·
You may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages
of the sites that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page
created by another user, there may be a cookie placed by that web page.)
No Spam, Spyware or Spoofing
We and our users do not tolerate
spam. Make sure to set your notification preferences so we
communicate to you as you prefer. You are not licensed to add other users, even a user who has purchased an item from you, to
your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their express consent.
Please
report related spam or spoof emails to us. You may not use our
communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would
violate our User Agreement. We automatically scan and may manually filter
messages to check for spam, viruses, phishing attacks and other malicious
activity or illegal or prohibited content, but we do not permanently store
messages sent through these tools. If you send an email to an email address
that is not registered in our community (via Refer-a-Friend or other tools),
we do not permanently store that email or use that email address for any
marketing purpose. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.
Account Protection
Your password is the key to your
account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters, and do not
disclose your password to anyone. If you do share your
password or your personal information with others, remember that you are
responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose
control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your
personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on
your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any
reason, you should immediately notify us and change your
password.
Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal
Information
You can see, review and change
most of your personal information by signing on to your account.
Generally, we will not manually modify your personal information because it
is very difficult to verify your identity remotely. You must promptly update
your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a
public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your
request, we will close your account and remove your personal information
from view as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and
in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from
closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed,
resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations,
enforce our
User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise
permitted by law.
Security
Your information is stored on our
servers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use lots of
tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your
personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as
you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse
your personal information that they collect from the site. Therefore,
although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and
you should not expect, that your personal information or private
communications will always remain private.
Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly
included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and
disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your
information to others, whether they are purchasers, buyers or sellers on our
sites or other sites throughout the internet, different rules may apply to
their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Nellobyte
Systems Ltd. does not control the privacy policies of third parties,
and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where
applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your
personal information to others.
General
We may amend
this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on this site.
All amended terms automatically take effect after they are initially posted
on the Site. If your questions are not answered online, you may write to us
