| Privacy Policy 1) The data you submit when you open an account with vbid.me is stored on the system / server. Vbid.me uses an off the shelf auction software package from specialists who claim it to be hacker safe, although we plan to have / are having our own developers improve the functionality of the site on an ongoing basis. Any unlikely security breach of your personal data (through hacking) will be the responsibility of the hosting company we use and / or the auction software house we use and / or ourselves (in the event our own developers created a security hole). 2) Vbid.me uses server logs and cookies solely for statistical and security purposes. 3) Vbid.me does and will not ever sell or pass your personal data to anyone else except; a) Where there is a fair legal dispute regarding a sale between you and another user where the other party has their lawyer (UK, USA, EU, AU, CA or NZ lawyers only) formally write to us for that information, and then only for your registered name and address for legal service purposes only. b) Where we receive a formal request / order from a police or customs or law enforcement agency or court located in the UK, USA, EU, AU, CA or NZ; such data provided by us to be limited solely to any such specific request for the same. 4) vbid.me will provide the IP address and / or browser information and / or cookie data from our server logs to another user (or their lawyers) in cases where the other user has grounds to suspect you may be operating more than one vbid.me account for unfair / unlawful / illegal gain. This is not in violation of your rights under data protection acts as it does not specifically identify you. IP addresses are those of your ISP; they identify their connection on your behalf to our site; of course, if you use one vbay.me user account to connect to us and then another vbay account user connects to us during the same ISP connection, it will indicate you are the same. Browser information simply identifies the type and model of browser you are using, or that your browser discloses you to be using. Cookie information can identify a specific PC but not your personal details; of course, if one vbay.me account has the same cookie as another vbay.me account it will show both accounts are controlled by the same PC. 5) We have a no spam policy; vbid.me's owner hates spam. We do not pass your email address to anyone else. If you allow us to by ticking the box when you register, you may get an occasional general email from us. |
