PRIVACY POLICY
- Children On Site
Children are not eligible to use our services and we ask that minors
(under the age of 18) do not submit any personal information to us. If
you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction with your
parents or guardians.
- Personal
Information duPontREGISTRY.COM Collects
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to
provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while
using our services. This allows us to provide services and features that
most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your
experience easier and quicker.
To
fully use our services, you will need to register using our online
registration form, where you will be required to provide us with your contact
information and other personal information. You may provide us with a User
ID; if you don't, we will use your email address as your User ID. Under some
circumstances, such as if you are registering using an email account at a
free email service, we require some additional information, including billing
address, credit card number and credit card expiration date. We use this
credit card information to verify your name, address, and other information.
We
automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on
our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users'
demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our
users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This
information may include 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.
In
addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may also offer
certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Among
other reasons we use cookies because
cookies allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session.
Cookies can also help us provide information which is targeted to your
interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most
cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically
deleted at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our cookies if
your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use
certain features on our site and you may be required to reenter your password
more frequently during a session.
If
you establish a credit account with us, we collect some additional information,
including billing address, credit card number and credit card expiration date
and tracking information from checks or money orders (if applicable).
When
available and if you choose to post messages in our chat rooms or other
message areas or leave feedback for other users, we will collect such
information about you as you choose to disclose.
If
you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other
users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings
on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
- duPontREGISTRY.COM's
Use of Your Information
We 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, layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve
our site and better tailor it to meet our users' needs.
We
may also use your information to deliver information to you that, in some
cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners, new services
and promotions. By accepting the Participation Agreement you expressly agree
to receive this information.
We
use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you
regarding administrative notices, new product offerings, and communications
relevant to your use of the Site.
If
you choose to list an item on our site or open a credit account, 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, to resolve
disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Participation Agreement. At
times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve
disputes, and in particular on rare occasions we may evaluate your
information to look for users using multiple User IDs or aliases.
- Our Disclosure of
Your Information
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 this 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. 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, in
connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to
legal liability. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your
UserID, name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone
number, email, and company to duPontREGISTRY.COM. 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.
Advertisers. We do aggregate personally identifiable
information, including statistical analysis of website traffic, and disclose
such information in aggregate to advertisers and for other marketing and
promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to
these entities any information that could be used to personally identify you.
Certain information, such as your password, credit card number, and bank account number, are not disclosed to
marketing advertisers in aggregate at all. duPontREGISTRY respects the
privacy of all our customers.
Resale and Third Party Distribution. duPontREGISTRY.COM reserves the right to sell or disclose some personal
information collected on our site to third parties. Third parties are not permitted to sell the information
we provide to them, to market directly to you, or to disclose it in any other way without your explicit
consent..
duPontREGISTRY.COM's
Website Throughout the
Site, you are identified by your cutomer number and/or email address. Our
system sets your customer ID as your email address. In this situation, where
you are identified on the Site by your User ID, you disclose your email
address to other users and third parties. As a result, other users and third
parties might send you unsolicited email and be able to personally identify
all of your activities on the Site. Your User ID can be used to identify you
and your activities throughout the Site.
We also provide others a number of ways to allow other users to find
more out about you and your site activities, such as our feature that allows
users to quickly see all of your listings at the time.
Legal
Requests.
duPontREGISTRY.COM cooperates with law enforcement inquires and other third
parties to enforce laws, intellectual property and other rights.
Suppliers
and Other Service Providers.
We may use third party Suppliers and Service Providers to facilitate our
services. For example, we may outsource the operations of one or more aspects
of our site to a Supplier or Service Provider who performs services according
to our requirements. In some instances, the Service Provider may collect
information directly from you (such as the situation where we ask a Service
Provider to conduct a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of
the involvement of the Supplier or Service Provider, and all information
disclosures you make will be strictly optional. In all cases, we restrict how
these Suppliers and Other Service Providers may access, use and disclose your
information. In general, we do not permit these Suppliers and Other Service
Providers to sell your information to third parties.
duPontREGISTRY.COM
Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.
We will share much of our data, including personally identifiable information
about you, with our subsidiaries and Joint Ventures that are committed to
serving your trading needs throughout the world. To the extent that these
entities are getting access to your information, they will treat it as
protectively as duPontREGISTRY.com's treats your information.
- Your Use of Other
Users' Information
By entering into our Participation Agreement, you agree that, with
respect to other user's personally identifiable information that you
obtain through the Site or through an duPontREGISTRY.COM-related
communication or duPontREGISTRY.COM-facilitated transaction,
duPontREGISTRY.COM hereby grants to you a license to use such
information only for: (a) duPontREGISTRY.COM-related communications that
are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using co-branded services
offered through duPontREGISTRY.COM (e.g. escrow, insurance, shipping and
fraud complaints), and (c) any other purpose that such user expressly
opts into after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s). In all cases, 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, except as defined in this Section, 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. Note that law enforcement personnel and other
rights holders can be given different rights with respect to information
they access.
duPontREGISTRY.COM
and our users do not tolerate spam. Therefore, without limiting the
foregoing, you are not licensed to add a duPontREGISTRY.COM user—even a user
who has purchased an item from you-to your mail list (email or physical mail)
without their express consent after adequate disclosure.
- Email This Item To
A Friend Service
The terms applicable to the Email This Item To A Friend service apply to
your use of that service. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not
use the service to send spam.
Control
of Your Password
Except as specifically permitted by this section, you may not disclose your
duPontREGISTRY.COM password to any third parties nor share it with any third
parties. If 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
by contacting us. You may, however, disclose your password to certain third
parties with whom duPontREGISTRY.COM has entered into specific contractual
and technical arrangements designed to safeguard your password
("Authorized Password Users"), in order to enjoy the benefits of
those third parties' services in relation to the duPontREGISTRY.COM services.
- Other Information
Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy, this
document 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 prospects, 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 duPontREGISTRY.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
duPontREGISTRY.COM uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the
confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such as
firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.
