Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your personal information
for the Service on the WantOutlet.com website. It may be updated
by us from time to time. WantOutlet.com will post a notice on
the WantOutlet.com website of significant changes to this Privacy
Policy.
Collection
You can browse our site without telling us who you are or revealing
any personal information about yourself. Once you input 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, name, and physical contact information;
- transactional information based on your activities on
the WantOutlet.com site (such as buying, selling, item information
and content you generate or that relates to your account);
- shipping and other information you provide to purchase
or ship an item;
- community discussions, chats, dispute resolution, correspondence
through our site, and correspondence sent to us;
- other information from your interaction with the site
or the Service, 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.
Please do not post any information that you expect to keep private.
WantOutlet.com does not knowingly collect any information from
persons under the age of 13. If WantOutlet.com learns that a
posting is by a person under the age of 13, WantOutlet.com will
remove that post.
Financial Information
WantOutlet.com does not collect or store credit card information.
Credit card transactions are transmitted to a financial gateway,
and we endeavor to protect the security of your payment information
during transmission by using Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
Marketing; Protecting Your Privacy
We do not do any of the following:
- Sell or rent your personal information to third parties
for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent;
- Employ tracking devices for marketing purposes (“cookies,”
web beacons,” single-pixel gif files); nor
- Send you unsolicited communications for marketing purposes
other than to inform you of changes to the Service or new services
or offerings of EDL Technology, LLC or its affiliates.
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 Service and customer support you request;
- resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems;
- prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities;
- enforce our Terms of Use;
- customize, measure and improve our Service, content
and advertising;
- tell you about targeted marketing, service updates,
and promotional offers based on your communication preferences.
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:
- Service providers under contract who help with our business
operations
- 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.
Account Protection
Your password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers,
letters and special characters, and do not disclose your WantOutlet.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 WantOutlet.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 WantOutlet.com. 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 Terms of Use, 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 nor guarantee, 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 site or
other sites throughout the internet, different rules may apply
to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose
to them. WantOutlet.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.
