ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Droege Computing Services, Inc., doing
business as StampAuctionNetwork, a North Carolina corporation
(“StampAuctionNetwork”, “we”, or “us”) is committed
to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) sets
forth our current privacy practices with regard to the
information we collect when you are utilizing StampAuctionNetwork's
Platform. By utilizing the Platform, you acknowledge that you fully understand this
Privacy Policy and freely consent to the information collection and use
practices described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy, along with the Terms of Use StampAuctionNetwork.com/PrivacyPolicy.cfm
govern your access to and use of the Platform.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to
such terms in the Terms of Use.
INFORMATION
WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
The
Platform collects certain information from and about its users in three ways:
directly from our web server logs, directly from the user, and with cookies.
When you visit the
Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage.
Examples of information we may track include:
2. Use of Cookies
StampAuctionNetwork may use cookies to
personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that
is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to
you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For
example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie
helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence,
this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site
navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as
well as providing personalized functionality.
StampAuctionNetwork reserves the right
to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow
other companies to place cookies on the Website unless there is a temporary,
overriding customer value (such as merging a site that relies on third-party
cookies into the Website).
You have the ability
to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies,
but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you
reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on the Website.
3. Personal
Information of Users
To participate in the
Platform, you must create an Account. When you register for an Account, we will
request certain of your personal information, such as your name, address,
email, telephone number or facsimile number, financial information, and/or
other relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal
information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For
example, such data may be warranted in order to
provide online technical support and troubleshooting. We do not collect the
following personally identifiable information: birthdate, social security
number, or credit card information. You
must not enter this information into your registration, even for purposes such
as your password retrieval prompt.
We may rent, sell, or
share personal or transaction information with other non-affiliated individuals
or companies for the purposes set forth below.
PARTICIPATING
MERCHANT POLICIES
Related services and offerings with
links from portions of the Platform, including vendor sites, have their own
privacy policies that can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding links
within each respective website. Online merchants and others who are visible in
the Platform or otherwise participate in the Services are encouraged to
participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude
towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the
policies or practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we
are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We
recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of
merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal information
or complete any transaction with such parties.
USE
OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
StampAuctionNetwork’s website may contain
electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel
gifs – that allow StampAuctionNetwork to count users
who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. StampAuctionNetwork may include web beacons in promotional
e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine
whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some
of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us
and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to
our website and how you use the site. StampAuctionNetwork
prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
ACCESSING
ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable
information in your Account is correct and current. You may review this
information by sending an email to tldroege@StampAuctionNetwork.com
CHANGES
TO THIS STATEMENT
StampAuctionNetwork may update this Privacy
Policy in its sole discretion. When we do, we will also revise the “updated”
date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review
this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal
information we collect. Your continued use of the Platform constitutes your
agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
