BuyNearMe.com - Privacy Policy
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to
privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how BuyNearMe.com collects
information from all end users of BuyNearMe.com services (the "Services")-those
who access some of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors") as well
as those who pay a service fee to participate in the Services ("Members")-what
we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Members
have concerning the collection and use of such information. BuyNearMe.com
requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information BuyNearMe.com Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction: BuyNearMe.com collects information in different ways from
Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services and the
network of Web sites accessible through our Service. We use this information
primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Services and,
generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may
disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission
beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.
Registration: Members are asked to provide certain personal information
when they sign up for our Services including name, address, telephone number
and billing information (such as a credit card number). The personal
information collected from Members during the registration process is used to
manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This information
is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in
special circumstances. However, in instances where BuyNearMe.com and a partner
jointly promote the Services, BuyNearMe.com may provide the partner certain
personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who
subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole
purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any
other purpose. BuyNearMe.com may also generate non-identifying and aggregate
profiles from personal information Members provide during registration (such as
the total number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail
below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell
advertisements that appear on the Services.
BuyNearMe.com Partners and Sponsors: Some BuyNearMe.com services may be
offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with a non-affiliated partner.
To provide Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the
partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. BuyNearMe.com
will share non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described
above), but not personal information, with such partners in order to administer
the co-branded products or services offered.
Online Advertisements: From time to time, BuyNearMe.com may display
online advertisements. We share aggregated and non-identifying information
about our Visitors and Members collected through the registration process as
well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying
information to deliver tailored advertisements. For instance, an advertiser
tells us the audience they want to reach (for example, males between 25 and 55
years of age) and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based
upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may
then display the advertisement to the intended audience. BuyNearMe.com does not
share personal information about its Visitors or Members with these
advertisers.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email
inquiries to BuyNearMe.com, the return email address is used to answer the
email inquiry we receive. BuyNearMe.com does not use the return email address
for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any
third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct both business
and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in
these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us
to improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your
personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if
the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys
is voluntary. We take the information we receive from individuals responding to
our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
BuyNearMe.com customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment,
industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated
information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new
services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information
may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases: It is the policy of BuyNearMe.com to not use or share
the personal information about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the
ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or
otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, BuyNearMe.com may disclose
personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your
use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any
reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so,
including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act,
regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to
disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or other user
policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect BuyNearMe.com and our
Members.
"Cookies" and How BuyNearMe.com Uses Them: A "cookie" is a small data
file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain Web sites.
BuyNearMe.com may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track
information for statistical purposes to improve the products and services we
provide and to manage our telecommunications networks. If you are a Member, we
will use a cookie to save your settings and to provide customizable and
personalized services. These cookies do not enable third parties to access any
of your customer information. Additionally, be aware that if you visit non-
BuyNearMe.com Web sites where you are prompted to log in or that are
customizable, you may be required to accept cookies. Advertisers and partners
may also use their own cookies. We do not control use of these cookies and
expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through them.
BuyNearMe.com recommends that children ask a parent for permission before
sending personal information to BuyNearMe.com, or to anyone else online.
Public Forums: Please remember that any information you may disclose in
public areas of our Web sites or the Internet, becomes public information. You
should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information in these
public areas.
BuyNearMe.com Commitment to Data Security: Services and Web sites we
sponsor or host have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse,
and alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort
to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot
guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from
illegally obtaining this information.
