Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your personal information for our services
on the Calendar People, Inc. websites. It applies generally to the snosseL.com website
and other related websites where this policy appears in the footer of the page.
Some Calendar People, Inc.-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 snosseL 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 and is otherwise effective on June 1, 2008.
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 located in
the United States.
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 buying,
selling, service item and content you generate or that relates to your account);
-
shipping, billing and other information you provide to purchase or ship an item;
-
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 Calendar People, Inc., 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 don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing
purposes
We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies
and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising.
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;
- 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).
- 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 bidding and listing history.
- 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 your name
Your name is displayed throughout snosseL.com and is therefore available to the
public. All of your activity on our sites is traceable to your name. Other people
can see services that you have purchased in the past, services for sale,
and so on.
Using Information from snosseL.com
snosseL 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 will have access to each other's name, 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:
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.
No Spam, Spyware or Spoofing
We and our users do not tolerate spam.
You are not licensed to add other snosseL users, even a user who has purchased an
item from you, to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their express
consent. To report snosseL-related spam or spoof emails to snosseL, please forward
the email to spam@snossel.com or
spoof@snossel.com. 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 snosseL.com 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 snosseL.com 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
snosseL. 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.
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 located in the United States. 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 bidders, 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. snosseL.com 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 30 days after they are initially
posted on the Site.
