Welcome to our website (the ‘Site’). We understand the importance of online privacy for our users, especially when they are conducting business. This statement outlines our privacy policies for visitors of the Site (‘Visitors’) who browse without making transactions and for those who register to do business on the Site and utilize the services offered (collectively, ‘Services’) (‘Authorized Customers’).
‘Personally Identifiable Information’ includes any information that can identify, contact, or locate an individual, such as name, address, phone number, email address, financial details, and more. This information does not cover data collected anonymously or demographic information not linked to a specific individual.
What kind of Personally Identifiable Information do we collect?
We collect basic user profile information from all Visitors and additional details from Authorized Customers, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, business details, and the advertising inventory they plan to buy or sell.
Who collects this information?
Aside from collecting data directly, third-party service providers (like credit card companies, banks) may gather information from Visitors and Authorized Customers. While we do not control how they use the data, we request transparency regarding its usage.
How is Personally Identifiable Information utilized?
We use this data to customize the Site, offer relevant services, and handle buying/selling requests. Visitors and Authorized Customers may receive emails about research opportunities, buying/selling info, or in response to queries.
With whom is the information shared?
Authorized Customer details may be shared with others seeking potential transactions. Aggregated data about our Visitors may be shared with affiliates and third-party vendors. We provide an option to ‘opt out’ of receiving information from us or our agencies.
How is Personally Identifiable Information secured?
All collected data is securely stored and only accessible to specific employees for the outlined purposes. We regularly audit our security systems and utilize encryption for sensitive information.
How can inaccuracies in Personally Identifiable Information be corrected?
Visitors and Authorized Customers can update or correct their data by emailing us.
Can Personally Identifiable Information be deleted or deactivated?
Visitors and Authorized Customers can request the deletion/deactivation of their information, but some residual data may be retained due to backups. The deactivated information will not be used or sold moving forward.
What happens if the Privacy Policy changes?
We will inform Visitors and Authorized Customers about any policy changes by posting updates on the Site. If a change may lead to disclosing Personally Identifiable Information previously requested to be private, we will reach out to allow preventive measures.
