PRIVACY STATEMENT The Site is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of the Site. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically. The Site collects information in several ways from different parts of our web site. Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system will also ask for your street address, city, state/province/canton, zip/postal code, country, telephone number, although only fields that are mark with a special mark on the registration field are required. This information assists you in navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms (such as the ad posting form) with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to the Site - you have a username and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings of the Site. In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you place ads or take advantage of the other features of the Site. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.The primary goal of the Site in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience and to assist your navigation throughout the Site. As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, the Site may use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Several features of the Site may require that you accept cookies in order to work properly. Advertising networks that serve ads onto the Site may also use their own cookies. The Site may also collect IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. Some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other users of the Site. For example, when you enter personal information on the ad posting form, this information will generally be included in your ad, unless specifically stated otherwise. The Site may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the “Rules, Regulations & Disclaimers Statement” of the Site or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of the Site, other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. The Site may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the Site, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration. You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of the Site that require registration in order to participate. These services include (but not limited to) the identification of new ads that have been posted since your last visit and auto-filling of the logon form. You can still use most of the features of the Site even if you do not accept cookies. We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may edit your user profile at any time by clicking on the "My Profile" link or graphic. Once you have logged onto the system during a given session, wherever you go on the Site, your information will stay with you until or unless you click on the "Logoff" link, which is accessible from within the "My Profile" screen. Other than the administrator or other authorized personnel of the Site, you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. The Site will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. As an extra security precaution, you may want to logoff once you have completed a session in the Site. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, the Site cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example in ads that you post or through email - the information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
