Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your personal information for our services on the eBitsy websites. It applies generally to the ebitsy.com, ebitsy.com/en/, ebitsy.com/es/, ebitsy.com/fr, ebitsy.com/nl, ebitsy.com/it websites and other related websites where this policy appears in the footer of the page. 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 eBitsy 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 February 26, 2010.

Collection

When submitting your personal Information to eBitsy you will be taking to our secure sign in page, meaning information submitted to eBitsy is only available to you and eBitsy alone. 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 USA.

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 bidding, buying, selling, item and content you generate or that relates to your account);

shipping, billing and other information you provide to purchase or ship an item;

community discussions, chats, 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 eBitsy, 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).

When you provide information to an affiliated website the information you provide will be held on our servers located in the USA. In addition this information will be available to the independent website operator to provide similar services as described above.

Marketing

We don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising. If you don't wish to receive marketing communications from us or participate in our ad-customization programs, simply indicate your preference once you sign-on in My Account (or similar account status page) or by following the directions provided in an email or from a link on the advertisement.

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;

tell you about targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and

compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties.

Using Information from eBitsy

eBitsy 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 may have access to each other's name, User ID, 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:

eBitsy transaction-related purposes that are not unsolicited commercial messages;

using services offered through eBtisy (e.g. escrow, insurance, shipping and fraud complaints), or

other purposes that a user expressly chooses.

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.

You may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page created by another user, there may be a cookie placed by that web page.)

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Your Privacy

eBitsy uses cookies, web beacons, and related tools provided by third parties to provide you with services that make the eBitsy site more efficient for your buying and selling activities. eBitsy limits the use of these tools to protect your privacy.

About cookies

"Cookies" are small files placed on the hard drive of your computer.

eBitsy uses cookies on certain pages of the website to:

· Allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session.

· Provide information that is targeted to your interests.

· Promote and enforce trust and safety.

· Offer certain features that are only available through the use of cookies.

· Measure promotional effectiveness.

· Analyze our web page flow.

Cookies we use for trust and safety (Flash cookies) - eBitsy uses Flash cookies, which are cookies written with Flash technology, to help ensure that your account security is not compromised and to spot irregularities in behavior to prevent your account from being fraudulently taken over.

Cookies on eBitsy's discussion boards – eBitsy's discussion boards use session cookies to facilitate conversation threads and overall service functions.

Your choices about cookies – We offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. You are always free to decline cookies if your browser permits. However, if you decline cookies, you may not be able to use certain features on the website, and you may be required to reenter your password more frequently during a session. Learn how to set your browser to accept cookies.

Web beacons

A web beacon is an electronic image placed in the web page code that can serve many of the same purposes as cookies. Web beacons are used to track the traffic patterns of users from one page to another in order to maximize web traffic flow.

How eBitsy protects your privacy with third parties

· eBitsy may work with other companies who place cookies or web beacons on our websites. These companies help operate our websites and provide you with additional products and services. They are subject to confidentiality agreements with eBitsy and other legal restrictions. eBitsy does not permit any of these companies to collect personal information using cookies or web beacons on our websites.

· eBitsy participates in cookie-based ad networks operated by Google and Yahoo. This means that these companies may use some anonymous information about you (based on a cookie on your computer) to display ads. We do not permit these companies to collect any personal information about you.

· eBitsy does not permit third-party content on eBitsy (such as an item listing) to include cookies or web beacons, although this may still happen from time to time. If you believe a listing may be collecting personal information or using cookies, please report it to admin@ebitsy.com.

Our zero tolerance no Spam, Spyware or Spoofing Policy

We and our users do not tolerate spam. Make sure to set your eBitsy notification preferences so we communicate to you as you prefer. You are not licensed to add other eBitsy 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 eBitsy-related spam or spoof emails to eBitsy, please forward the email to admin@ebitsy.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 eBitsy 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 eBitsy 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 eBitsy. 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. Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. 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 eBitsy User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Security

Your information is stored on our servers located in the USA. 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. eBitsy 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. In addition, we will notify you through the eBitsy Message Center. If your questions are not answered online, you may write to us at:
