Registration
In order to register for our Services, you will need to submit

address, phone number and credit card number. You must register in
order to use the Services and participate in various activities on
the Website.
Traffic Data
As people buy and sell assets on the Website, we collect traffic
data to help us understand how our website is being used and how we
can improve it. This automatically-gathered data includes your
computer's IP or "Internet Protocol" address, statistics about how
visitors navigate through our website, search terms entered, and
information provided through the use of "cookies."
Personalization and Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data
sent by us and stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. We use cookies for three reasons: (1) to
keep track of your information for your own convenience and to help
you avoid having to re-key in data; (2) to help us optimize your
online experience by altering our content to provide you with
information more likely to be relevant to you; and (3) to help us
understand the size of our audience and their traffic patterns
within our network. Some of our features depend on the use of
cookies. Therefore, while you are accessing the Website, you should
ensure that your browser accepts cookies. If a user rejects the
cookie, it may still use our Website. The only drawback to this is
that the user's access to our Website will be limited in some areas.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our Website (for
example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over
these cookies.
Transaction Data
We also track transaction data such as the items that you have bid
on, purchased or sold on our service. This data will be associated
with the User name and or bidder number that you received when you
register.
How Is Personal
Information Used?
Providing Service
The information you provide when you become a registered User is
used to facilitate, consummate and monitor your Website activities
and to send you administrative information related to the Services
or your account.
Buyers
Registration information about buyers is not displayed in the
auction area. If you are the winning bidder in an auction, your
contact information may be provided to the seller. BidatSoldNow may
also provide your contact information to service companies that can
assist you in your transaction, including arranging for removal and
transportation of the assets that you purchase. BidatSoldNow also
provides your credit card information to the appropriate credit card
company to complete your transaction, this information is normally
encrypted, and such information also may be exchanged with other
companies for fraud protection and credit risk protection. However,
when confirming a successful sale, we reveal only the last five
digits of your credit card number. BidatSoldNow makes no
representation or warranty concerning such companies or the services
that they offer.
BidatSoldNow Alliances
From time to time, BidatSoldNow may enter into promotional alliances
that introduce users of third-party websites to our services, among
other reasons. The companies with whom we enter into such alliances
may request that we provide them with information about Users who
were introduced to BidatSoldNow through their websites. Unless you
specify that BidatSoldNow is not to share your personal information
with these companies, we may provide them with information that will
allow them to contact you. BidatSoldNow is not responsible for the
privacy practices of these companies or their use of your personal
information. If you prefer that we not share your personal
information in this manner, see the "opt out" section below.
Promotional Use
BidatSoldNow is not in the business of selling your information to
others. However, unless you specify that you would prefer not to
hear from us, we may also use the email and mailing addresses that
you provide at registration to advise you of upcoming auctions which
may be of interest to you and for promotional reasons. To opt-out
from these promotional mailings, see the "opt out" section below.
Third Parties
Except as described in this
Privacy Policy or as authorized by you, BidatSoldNow will not
disclose any of your contact information to third parties other than
in connection with a transaction in which you are involved or upon
written request to a verified representative of your company. We may
release aggregate information about our Users to third parties, but
in that event, we will not release information that identifies any
User by name or by other contact information.
BidatSoldNow will release information when compelled by court order,
or when we believe, in our reasonable discretion, that such
disclosure is warranted to cooperate with inquiries by law
enforcement agencies.
This Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to
read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by BidatSoldNow.
Security
BidatSoldNow uses industry standard security enhanced systems in
order to prevent third party access to your information. These
systems include a combination of firewalls, data encryption, login
passwords, secure socket layer security protocol and public key
encryption technology. Although we employ these extensive efforts to
maintain security, we cannot guarantee that your contact information
will not be intercepted by a third party's illegal efforts.
While we use various technologies to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users' information is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can
send an email to customerservice@bidatsoldnow.com
Protecting Your
User Name and Password
It is the User's
responsibility to maintain the privacy of its User name and
password. Unauthorized use of your account will enable access to
your personal information. Please keep your User name and password
in a safe place.
Choice / Opt-out
Our Website provides Users the opportunity to opt out of receiving
communications from BidatSoldNow. In addition, Users may opt out of
receiving communications from companies with whom BidatSoldNow has
entered into promotional alliances.
Users who no longer wish to receive promotional materials from
BidatSoldNow or our alliance partners may opt-out of receiving these
communications either by replying "remove" in the subject line in
the email, by emailing us at customerservice@bidatsoldnow.com
If you have questions about this
Privacy Policy, your transaction history data or other data
collected about you, our security systems or wish to stop receiving
our Service, please contact Customer Service located in the Help
section of the website or e-mail us at customerservice@bidatsoldnow.com
