We only use the information that you provide for purposes such as, verifying that your email account is real, secure log-in, site personalization, and communicating with you. However, part of the identity, location, or contact information you provide must be made available to legitimate buyers or sellers for the purpose of conducting auction item payment and shipment.
• Agents. We employ other companies to process instant payments or credit card payments. They have access only to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
• Special Offers. We may send you special offers from time to time. In addition, we may also send you special offers from other companies. If we send you offers from other businesses, we do not share your personal information with them. The offers come directly through us and your personal information is protected.
• Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that we are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
• Law Enforcement. If we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal information then we will comply with the law. We will also release information when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
• Suspension: If it is discovered that part or all of the identifying information you have provided is fraudulent or counterfeit, this policy will become null and void.
