Please see our Terms of Use and Disclaimer for additional information applicable to Private-Placement.com.
Information We Collect
It is not necessary to provide personally identifiable information in order to visit our Website. However, on the Website, you have the option to browse, purchase products, or participate in an online forum. Personally identifiable information is required and collected when you buy, participate or communicate with Private-Placement.com. As a result of those actions, you may supply us with such information as your name, address, phone numbers, e-mail address, contact preferences, credit card information, financial information and information relating to a support or service issue that may, alone or in combination with other data, constitute personally identifiable information. If we collect personally identifiable information from you, you are giving us permission to use that information for the specific purpose for which it is provided and to contact you regarding site services, improve or enhance site performance, to offer you information regarding products and services, fulfill product orders, improve our Website, to communicate to you about other matters that may be of interest to you and for any other purpose described in this Privacy Policy. In connection with the foregoing, we may share your information with our affiliates. Users unwilling to provide personally identifiable information online can choose to work with a sales or customer service representative directly for specific site offerings within our Website.
We reserve the right to collect, store and use certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our Web pages such as the type of browser you are using (i.e. Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, etc.), the type of operating system you are using, (i.e., Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (i,e., America Online, Optimum Online, Netzero, etc.). In addition, we aggregate data from multiple users in a manner that is not personally identifiable and use such data as we deem appropriate.
How We Use the Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business. That said, we are not in the business of selling personally identifiable information to unaffiliated 3rd parties for their commercial use. We share personally identifiable customer information with unaffiliated third parties only as described herein.
• Businesses We Do Not Control: At times, we may provide products and services on our Website in cooperation with an unaffiliated 3rdparty. When a 3rdparty is involved in your transactions (i.e., Credit Card processing) we share customer information related to those transactions with that 3rdparty.
• Agents: We employ, sub-contract or partner with other companies and individuals to perform various business related functions on our behalf. Examples include order/data management, technical/infrastructure support, analyzing data, the creation of business/site metrics and traffic statistics, providing marketing/promotional services, providing search results and links (including, but not limited to, paid listings and links), processing credit card payments or similar financial payments methods and providing general customer service activities. Agents may have access to personal information needed to perform their respective functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
• Promotional Offers: On occasion, we may send offers to customers on behalf of other businesses or our partners. When we do this, we do not give that business or partner your identifiable information.
• Business Transfers: We constantly strive to develop our businesses. As a result, we might buy or sell companies, subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets, but remains subject to the statements made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that we are acquired or assigned, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of Our Website and Other Business Activities: We reserve the right to release account and other personal information to comply with the law, enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of this company, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. However, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
Usage Tracking
Throughout our Website, we track user traffic patterns, analyze and quantify user preferences and improve the design, layout and content to enable us to personalize the user experience. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We do not break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in a browser). All such usage data shall be the exclusive property of this Website.
Private-Placement.com sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that a user enters in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Disclosure of Information
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed or accessed by a 3rd party in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Private-Placement.com, its affiliates, partners and licensees reserve the right to sell or disclose related personally identifiable information collected on our Website to 3rd parties whose practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy (i.e., other marketers, publishers, retailers, participatory databases and non-profit organizations) that want to market products and services to you. If we share personally identifiable information, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out or block such uses. Any right of the 3rd party to distribute, transfer, transmit, disclose or resell the information is prohibited.
We may on occasion combine information we receive online with outside data to enhance our ability to market to you those products and services that we deem may be of interest to you. If we create an email distribution list and you sign up to receive our e-mails and prefer not to receive marketing information from this Website, you will have the ability to “unsubscribe” from on any marketing e-mail you receive from this Website.
