EurBid Privacy Policy EurBid has created this privacy
statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This document
discloses our information gathering and usage practices. For additional
information about EurBid, please review our Terms
and Conditions. Use of your information EurBid does not sell or rent your
personal identification to third parties. We release account and other
personal information only when we believe release is appropriate to comply with
law; enforce or apply our terms and conditions; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of EurBid Limited, our users, or others. Email It is the policy of EurBid to send
our members email throughout the auction process and other email they elect to
receive, in addition to customary business communications (payment
confirmations, etc.). Further, it is our policy to immediately remove any
member from any mailing list upon the member's request. In addition, EurBid may
send a newsletter to members. Newsletters will contain clear and obvious
instructions for how the member can remove himself or herself from that mailing
list. We do use email as a means of
receiving feedback from our members, and we encourage you to email us with your questions or comments. Emailing Tools EurBid provides facilities
throughout the site to refer a friend to EurBid or to send references to a
specific listing to a friend. You may not use the "Email This Auction to a
Friend" service or other email forwarding services that we offer to send
spam or otherwise send content that would violate our Privacy Policy or
Terms
and Conditions. We do not permanently store, sell,
or rent these email messages or the email addresses. Membership Registration Our site's registration form
requires you to provide us contact information and may also require demographic
information. We may use your contact information from the registration form to
send you information about our company and promotional material from some of
our affiliated partners. Your contact information is also used to contact you
when necessary. Updating Your Personal Information EurBid provides you with ways in
which you can alter your personal data, including changing your email address,
password, phone number, etc. EurBid will store previous email addresses against
your profile to ensure compliance with our Terms
and Conditions - specifically the use of one
account per member. Delivery Address Details EurBid enables you to save your
delivery address which we will store against your profile. When you buy an item
your delivery address will then be sent to the seller. We will never give the
seller your address without your permission. Control of Your Password You are responsible for all actions
taken with your user name, email address and password, including fees.
Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your EurBid password to any
third parties. If you choose to share your user name, email address and
password or your information with third parties to provide you additional
services, you are responsible for all actions taken with this information and
therefore you should review that third party's privacy policy. Cookies Cookies are small pieces of
information that are stored in a browser-related file on your computer's hard
drive when you use our Web site. We use cookies to improve the member
experience. We also use them to deliver information and fresh content specific
to your interests. Cookies are widely used on most major Web sites. EurBid mostly uses
"session" cookies, which are removed from your computer once you
leave EurBid. These are used so our service can remember that you have logged
in already and prevent you doing so more frequently. The technology we use
(Microsoft Active Server Pages), requires the use of session cookies. Session
cookies expire and are deleted after 30 minutes of no activity on EurBid. EurBid also uses persistent cookies
to personalize the user experience, to help protect our members and to provide
us with research information (such as how often members visit EurBid each
month). Persistent cookies allow us to track users on EurBid and helps us identify
users abusing the EurBid service. Other information we collect We use additional information to do
internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better
understand and serve you and our community. This information may include the
URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL
you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are
using, and your IP address. Users who login have their IP
addresses recorded. This information can be used to track users who abuse the EurBid
system and will be only be provided to legal authorities in cases of suspected
fraud. IP addresses can be used, in conjunction with an Internet Service
Provider, to find the dial-in account of a user and, ultimately, further
information to identify a user. This information is stored securely and will
not be provided to other members or non-authorized parties. If you choose to post messages in
our message areas or leave feedback for other users, we will collect that
information you provide to us. If you send us personal
correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties
send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may
collect such information into a file specific to you. Membership Removal If you wish to have your
registration removed from our directory for any reason, simply send us an email
requesting to be removed. Advertising and Third Party Links Some EurBid advertisers may request
information directly from users, or link to sites that do so. EurBid has no
control over its advertisers' privacy policies, and encourages users to review
such policies prior to submitting any personal information to them. EurBid contains non-advertising
links to a variety of third party sites to enhance the member experience. EurBid
has no control of either the content or privacy policies of such sites, nor should
such links be considered an endorsement of these sites except where otherwise
noted. Updates to our information practices From time to time, we make changes
to our information practices or alter the functionality of our Web site. We
always update this statement accordingly, so we encourage you to periodically
review this page for the latest information on privacy practices at EurBid. If you have any questions about our
privacy policies or any other matter, please contact us. |
