This document outlines our privacy protocols regarding individuals who access the Website (“Guests”) without conducting transactions and those who sign up to interact with the Website and use the various services we provide (collectively, “Services”) (“Authorized Users”).
“Personal identification information”
refers to any data that can identify or be used to identify, contact, or locate the individual connected with such data, including, but not limited to, full name, physical address, phone number, fax number, email address, financial profiles, social security number, and credit card information. Personally Identifiable Information does not include anonymously collected data (i.e., without identifying the individual) or demographic information that cannot be linked to a specific person.
What Personally Identifiable Information do we gather?
We may collect basic profile information from all our Guests. Furthermore, we compile the following information from our Authorized Users: full name, email address, telephone number, physical address, and social media profile data.
Which entities collect this information?
In addition to our direct information gathering, our external service providers (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses, and banks) offering services like credit, insurance, and escrow may acquire this information from our Guests and Authorized Users. We do not control how these external entities handle this information, but we urge them to clarify how they use the personal data shared by Guests and Authorized Users. Some of these external providers may merely act as intermediaries functioning solely as links in the distribution chain and do not retain, manage, or utilize the information supplied to them.
How does the website use Personally Identifiable Information?
We employ Personally Identifiable Information to customize the Website, provide relevant service offers, and fulfill requests for purchases and sales on the Website. We may send emails to Guests and Authorized Users regarding surveys or buying and selling opportunities on the Website or information relevant to the Website’s content. Moreover, we may also use Personally Identifiable Information to respond to Guests and Authorized Users regarding specific inquiries or provide requested information.
With whom can the information be shared?
Personally Identifiable Information regarding Authorized Users may be shared with other Authorized Users who wish to evaluate potential transactions with peers. We may also share aggregated data about our Guests, including demographic information of our Guests and Authorized Users, with our affiliated companies and external providers. We offer the option to “opt-out” from receiving information or communications from us or any service acting on our behalf.
How is Personally Identifiable Information stored?
The Personally Identifiable Information gathered by us is securely stored and is not accessible to third parties or our employees, except for the uses stated earlier.
