Garage Sale Addict Privacy Policy
Garage Sale Addict (now referred to as GSA)
is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizes your need to protect the
personal information that you share with us. The following is our privacy policy
which informs you what kind of information we might collect from you when you visit
this website, how it is used, and what you can do about it.
Types of Information We Collect
GSA collects two types of information from
people who visit this website: Personally Identifiable Information and Aggregate
Information.
Personally Identifiable Information is any
information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone
number, email address, personal interests, etc. This information is collected mostly
when you register for a profile on the website.
Aggregate Information is anonymous data such
as your IP address (i.e., a number that is assigned to your computer whenever you
connect to the Internet; for more information see Wikipedia's article on
IP Addresses), user statistics (e.g., search
terms and results, general user locations etc). Aggregate data is used to help us
better serve our customers by understanding their needs. It is very much like television
ratings that show the networks how many viewers are watching a particular show,
in what region etc.
What We Do With the Information
We collect Aggregate Information for a variety
of reasons. One as mentioned above is to help us better serve our customers. This
information helps us spot technical problems before they are even reported at times,
help us improve the quality of the pages that are important and appealing to the
users. We match this data with frequency and location statistics to target as many
people as possible.
GSA also collects Personally Identifiable Information. This information is collected
mostly when you register for a profile on the website. We do not share any Personally
Identifiable Information with any third party. However, we may transfer your Personally
Identifiable Information as part of the assets of GSA if GSA or parts of its businesses
are sold to, merged with or acquired by a third party. GSA may also disclose your
Personally Identifiable Information when required by law or court order. This information
is not required for the basic features of this website (i.e searching for Garage
Sale listings). Therefore it is your choice if you want to provide us with this information
or not.
Please note that do to the nature of this website, you also choose to expose you
Personally Identifiable Information through your own will. Some of this information
(name, email, telephone etc), can be hidden from a listing (done at the time of
posting), but it is your own responsibility which information to hide. Therefore
any infromation you decide to show the general public is at your own risk. Again
due to the nature of this website, certain information such as your address is made
public at all times. This is needed for users to be able to find you. You are disclosing
this information at your own risk once again. GSA is not held responsible what another
visitor decides to do with the information made available to them.
Updating and Deleting Personally Identifiable
Information
If you
previously provided GSA with Personally Identifiable Information, it can
be viewed and modified under your profile page once logged in. If you wish to delete
any of infromation, please email
customerservice@garagesaleaddict.com with the Subject "Remove Profile".
In the email, please provide us with the email address used to register on this
website, first name and last name.
