your personal information.
5.1. Overview
The privacy practices of this statement apply to our Services available
through the Site and apply generally to our affiliates, subsidiaries, or
joint venture web sites except where those web sites post specific privacy
policies.
This Privacy Policy is part of the Hot Web Holdings Ltd standard User
Agreement and describes the information, as part of the normal operation
of our services, we collect from you and what may happen to that
information.
By accepting the User Agreement in registration or by using the Site, you
expressly consent to our use and disclosure of Your Information in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
5.2. Information from Children
If you are under the age of 18, you may only use this Site in conjunction
with and under the supervision of your parents or guardians, and with
express permission from Hot Web Holdings Ltd. Except as provided in
Section 1 (Eligible Users), we do not want any information from anyone
under the age of 18.
5.3. Information We Collect
We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary
for providing the Services in an efficient, customized, and user-friendly
manner.
5.4. Our Use of Your Information
In general, you can browse a large portion of the Site without telling us
who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you
give us Your Information, you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to
use our Services, we may require you to provide contact and identity
information, billing information, and other personal information as
indicated on the forms throughout the Site. You always have the option not
to provide information by choosing not to use a particular service or
feature.
Under some circumstances we may require some additional financial
information, including, without limitation, your billing address, bank
account information, a credit card number and expiration date, and
tracking information from checks or money orders.
We may automatically collect certain information based upon your behavior
on the Site. We use this information to do internal research on our users'
demographics, interests, and behavior to serve our users better. This
information may include the URL that you come from or go to (whether this
URL is on the Site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP
address.
We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of the
Site to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness,
and promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on your
hard drive that assist us in providing our services. We may offer certain
features that are only available through the use of a "cookie." We also
use cookies to allow you to enter your password less frequently during a
session. Cookies can also help us provide information targeted to your
interests. 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
in that case you may not be able to use certain features on the Site and
you may be required to re-enter your password or provide other information
more frequently during a session.
You may encounter "cookies" or other similar devices on certain pages of
the Site that are placed by third parties. We do not control the use of
cookies by third parties.
If you choose to bid, buy or sell through the Site, we may collect
information about your bidding, buying and selling behavior and
transactions.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if
other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities
on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
We use Your Information and other information we obtain from your current
and past activities on the Site to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems, collect fees owed, pay amounts due you, verify your account
data, measure user interest in our products and services, inform you about
online and offline offers, products, services, and updates, customize your
experience, detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal
activity, and enforce our User Agreement. At times,
we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve
disputes, and we may examine Your Information to identify users using
multiple Login Names. We may compare and review Your Information for
errors, omissions and for accuracy.
You agree that we may use Your Information to contact you and deliver
information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your perceived
interests, such as targeted banner advertisements, administrative notices,
product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site. By
accepting this Agreement, you expressly agree to receive this information.
5.5. Our Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties
for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the
following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be
disclosed in the normal course of business as part of our Services.
Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across numerous registered user
accounts) personal information and disclose such information in a
non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties
for their marketing and promotional purposes. For such purposes, we do not
disclose any information that could be used to identify you personally.
Site. Although our pages may be coded with robot exclusion headers, others
may illegally attempt to automatically collect your email address from the
Site. If you are involved in a transaction, we have features that may
allow other users to view your email address and obtain your contact and
other information to help complete the transaction. Further, we may send
out notices to you or other users regarding suspicious activity or policy
violations on the Site.
Affiliates for Our Operations. We may use third parties ("affiliates") to
facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the Services that we
provide to you (e.g., search technology, advertising provisions, and other
services) and therefore we may provide some of Your Information directly
to these affiliates. These affiliates are subject to confidentiality
agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of
the information we provide them for any other purpose except to facilitate
the specific outsourced service, unless you have explicitly agreed or
given your prior permission to them for additional uses. In some
instances, the affiliate may collect information directly from you. In
these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the affiliate, and
all additional information you provide them and their additional uses will
be up to you.
Other Persons and Business Entities. We share much of our data, including
personal information about you, with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and
joint ventures that are committed to serving your online needs and
providing related services throughout the world. To the extent that these
entities have access to Your Information, they will treat it at least as
protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other users.
Our affiliates, subsidiaries, and joint ventures follow privacy practices
no less protective of all users than our practices described in this
document, to the extent allowed by applicable law. Hot Web Holdings Ltd,
its affiliates, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or any combination of such,
will share some or all of Your Information with another business entity
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 Information. If
Your Information will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive
notice as provided in Section 2 (Modification of this Agreement).
Legal Requests. Hot Web Holdings Ltd cooperates with law enforcement
authorities, as well as with other third parties, to enforce laws,
intellectual property rights, and to prevent fraud. In response to a
verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating
to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can, and you
authorize us to, disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email
address, Login Name history, fraud complaints, and Site use history, with
or without a subpoena. Without limiting the above, we will not disclose
your personal information to law enforcement or other government officials
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 past, present, or future illegal activity. Further, we can, and
you authorize us to, disclose to a third party Your Information, including
your name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number,
email, and company name, under a confidentiality agreement, as we in our
sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or
other unlawful activity.
Because of evolving technology and government regulations, Hot Web
Holdings Ltd cannot guarantee that all of your private communications and
other personal information will never be disclosed in contravention of
this Privacy Policy. Although we use industry standard practices and
technology to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee, and you should
not expect, that your personal information or communications with us or
through the Site will always remain private.
5.6. Your Use of Other Users' Information
In order to facilitate interaction among Site users, our Site may allow
you limited access to other users' information. By entering into our User
Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other users' personal
information that you obtain through the Site or through an Hot Web
Holdings Ltd-related communication or Hot Web Holdings Ltd-facilitated
transaction, Hot Web Holdings Ltd hereby grants to you a limited,
non-transferable, revocable license to use such information only for: (a)
Hot Web Holdings Ltd-related communications that are not unsolicited
commercial messages, (b) using Services offered through Hot Web Holdings
Ltd (e.g., escrow services and fraud complaints), and (c) any other
purpose that a user expressly agrees to after you tell them the purpose
you would like to use it for. In all cases, you must give users an
opportunity to remove themselves from your database, if any, and a chance
to review what information you have collected about them. In addition,
under no circumstances, except as defined in this Section 5.6, can you
disclose personal information about another Site user to any third party
without our consent and the consent of that user. You agree that other
users may use your personal information to communicate with you in
accordance with this Section 5.6.
5.7. Control of Your Login Name and Password
You are responsible for all actions taken with your Login Name and
password, including fees charged to your account and adherence to the
Acceptable Use terms (Section 3). If you lose control of your password,
you may lose substantial control over Your 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
change your password as detailed in Section 5.8 (Accessing, Reviewing and
Changing Your Personal Information).
5.8. Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information
We offer you the ability to review and change the information you submit
to us by logging into the Site and entering in the new information
yourself. Once logged in as a registered user, you can change your
Password, other personal, contact, and financial information, and user
preferences by going to the applicable pages. You must promptly update
your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once posted, you
may not be able to change or remove any bids or postings made on the Site.
Generally, we will not modify your personal information based on a request
not submitted through the Site because it can be difficult to authenticate
your identity manually.
Upon your request, we will deactivate your account, contact information,
billing information, shipping information, and financial information from
our active databases. To make this request, email security@hotwebholdings.com.
Your account will be deactivated as soon as reasonably possible after we
receive your request.
Upon receipt of a deactivation
request, we will retain some of Your Information in order to prevent
fraud, collect fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist
with any investigations, enforce our User Agreement, and comply with legal
requirements. Therefore, you should not expect that all of Your
Information will be completely removed from our databases in response to
your requests. However, Your Information will be deactivated from our
active, registered user database, and will only be available to select Hot
Web Holdings Ltd personnel.
5.9. Other Information Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy (Section 5),
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 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. Hot Web
Holdings Ltd does not control the privacy policies of third parties.
5.10. Security
Your Information is stored on Hot Web Holdings Ltd's servers located in
the United States and in European Union countries. We use procedural and
technical safeguards to protect Your Information against loss or theft as
well as unauthorized access and disclosure, including encryption,
"firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must
be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many
different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized
access by users inside and outside the company, but "perfect security"
does not exist on the Internet or with any data, digital or physical.
5.11. Notice, Modification
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time as provided in Section 2
(Modification of This Agreement).
6. Deleted - not applicable to this agreement.
