   Privacy Policy

This statement discloses the privacy practices for GordonsGuide.com's entire Web site.

Your privacy is very important to us. As part of the normal operation of our site we collect and, in some cases, disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information. Although this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy because we believe you should know as much as possible about GordonsGuide.com practices so that you can make an informed decision. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact us by clicking here.

As described below, some of your personally identifiable information is disclosed to third parties and used by us and third parties. By accepting the user agreement, you expressly consent to such use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information.

A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use our services. If you are under 18, you can use this service only in conjunction with your parent(s) or guardian(s).

Information We Collect
In our registration form, we require you to provide us with your full name, full street address, phone number, email address, username and a password.

In the course of using our site, we automatically track certain information about you for aggregated statistical analysis. This information includes the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address. Many sites automatically collect this information.

Our Use of Your Information
We internally use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize our site's content and layout. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our users' needs.

We may also use personally identifiable information about you to deliver information to you that, in some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners.

We use your email address and, in rare situations your mailing address or phone number, to contact you regarding administrative notices from time to time.

If you choose to make a purchase from our site, we use your address and billing information to bill you and provide associated support.

We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the site, troubleshoot problems and enforce our user agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems, and in particular or rare occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users using multiple User Ids or aliases.

Our Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party unless otherwise requested by you by explicitly opting in to these services. We do aggregate demographic information and disclose such information in aggregate to advertisers. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to personally identify you, such as you name, User ID, password, credit card number, and bank account number.

If you choose to list items for sale on our site, other site visitors will have access to additional personally identifiable information about you. GordonsGuide.com cannot be held responsible for any information that is disclosed between the two parties once they decide to contact one another to complete the sale transaction.

Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in the Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials, as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private.

Your Use of Other Users' Information
In order to facilitate interaction among all GordonsGuide.com community members, our service allows you to contact other members in certain situations. By entering into our user agreement, you agree that, with respect to other user's personally identifiable information that you obtain through the site or through an GordonsGuide-related communication or GordonsGuide-facilitated transaction, GordonsGuide.com hereby grants to you a license to use such information only for: (a) GordonsGuide-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, and (b) any other purpose that such users expressly opts into after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s). In the case of (b), you must give users an opportunity to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances can you disclose personally identifiable information about another user to any third party without our consent and the consent of such other user after adequate disclosure.

Control of Your Password
You may not disclose your password to any third parties or share it with any third parties. If, despite the foregoing, you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable 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 the section below.

Reviewing and Changing Your Personally Identifiable Information
You may review and change much of your personally identifiable information at GordonsGuide.com. This may be done online through the Account Profile section available once you're logged in. The information you may review and change includes:

  • Your name
  • Personal email
  • Company name
  • Company email
  • Company phone
  • Company toll-free number
  • Company fax
  • Company address

Third Party Collectors of Information
Our policy 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 buyers or sellers on our system or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they adhere to their own privacy customs and policies. Since GordonsGuide.com does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Security
GordonsGuide.com uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. We use a secure server to transmit information over the Internet. Authorize.net, a third party provider, is used to collect credit card information and facilitate credit card transactions.

Changes to Privacy Statement
From time to time this Privacy Statement may be updated. We will notify users of such changes 30 days before they go into effect via email.

General
This privacy policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the GordonsGuide.com Terms of Use.
