Property Possibilities - Privacy Policy
Overview
Property Possibilities is dedicated to building
trustworthy and integrity driven Internet Practices. Your privacy is very
important to us and you can be assured that our Privacy Practices are
held to the highest of standards.
Information We Collect
Property Possibilities primary goal in collecting personal
information is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized
experience while using our services. This allows us to provide services
and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service
to make your experience easier and quicker.
To fully use our services, you will need to register using our online
registration form, where you will be required to provide us with your
contact information and other Basic information.
We automatically track certain information about you based
upon your behaviour on our site. We use this information to do internal
research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behaviour to
better understand and serve our users. This information is compiled and
analysed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the URL
that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which
URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser
you are using, and your IP address.
In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site.
We may also offer certain features that are only available through the
use of a cookie. Among other reasons why we use cookies, cookies allow
you to enter your password less frequently during a session. Cookies can
also help us provide information which is targeted to your interests.
Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are
"session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted
at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our cookies if
your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use
certain features on our site and you may be required to re-enter your
password more frequently during a session.
If you choose to buy, sell or refer on our site, we collect
information about your bidding, buying and selling behaviour. We may also
collect other users’ comments about you in our feedback area.
If you establish a credit account with us, we collect
some additional information, including billing address, credit card number
and credit card expiration date and tracking information from Cheques,
Pay Pal or Money Orders.
If you choose to post messages in our Forums, or other
message areas or leave feedback for other users, we will collect such
information about you as you choose to disclose.
If you send us personal correspondence, through
such as emails or Telephone Services, or if other users or third parties
send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site,
we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
Our Use of Your Information
Property Possibilities may also use your information
to deliver to you, data that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests,
such as targeted banners, new services and promotions.
Property Possibilities will use your email address, your mailing address,
and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new
product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site.
If you do not wish to receive these communications, you may return an
email asking to be “Removed from our Mailing Lists.”
Our Disclosure of Your Information
Property Possibilities can disclose any information to
law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion,
believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation
of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that
is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
Selling of Information
As a policy, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.
Advertisers and Affiliates
Property Possibilities does use third party Suppliers
and Service Providers to facilitate our services. For example, we may
outsource the operations of one or more aspects of our site to an Affiliate
Supplier or Service Provider who performs services according to our requirements.
In some instances, the Service Provider may collect information directly
from you (such as the situation where we ask a Service Provider to conduct
a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement
of the Supplier or Service Provider, and all information disclosures you
make will be strictly optional. In all cases, we restrict how these Suppliers
and Other Service Providers may access, use and disclose your information.
In general, we do not permit these Suppliers and Other Service Providers
to sell your information to third parties.
Your Use of Other Users' Information
In order to facilitate interaction among all Property
Possibilities community members, our service allows you to access other
users’ contact information.
Email This to a Friend Service
The terms applicable to the “Email This to a Friend”
service apply to your use of that service. Without limiting the foregoing,
you may not use the service to send spam.
Property Possibilities does not use email addresses for any purpose other
than to send you email. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.
Indeed, we generally discard the email addresses at some point after they
have been used to send your email.
Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this
Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of
information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your
information to other parties, whether they are buyers, sellers or referrals
on our system or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules
may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose
to them. To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they adhere
to their own privacy customs and policies.
Security
Property Possibilities uses industry standard efforts
to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information,
such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security"
does not exist on the Internet.
