This Policy is an agreement between iOffer and you, as the user of iOffer’s website. This agreement tells you when the policy is effective, what information we collect from you, how we might use it, how you can review or change the personal information provided to us, how we may change this policy, and the steps we take to ensure that your personal information is protected.

 

Agreement to Terms

All activities you engage in on the Site are voluntary, and you are not required to provide any personal information to us unless you choose to access features on the Site that require the information.

Our main purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with an enjoyable, customized, and efficient experience on our Site. It is our policy to never willfully disclose any personal information about our Members to the general public without their consent. iOffer collects information from you when you register and conduct certain activities on the Site. We collect your full name, valid telephone number, contact/billing information, email address, and physical address. Also, each Member must create a unique user id and password. We also collect financial data (such as your credit card or debit card number). If you communicate with us by e-mail, post messages to any of our chat groups, bulletin boards or forums, or otherwise complete online forms, any information provided in such communication may also be collected. Any additional information collected will be used in accordance with our privacy policy.

 

We also collect some information from your browser. This includes your IP address which enables us to identify your computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, which includes the World Wide Web. This general information (including click stream data and cookies) may be collected from you whenever you access the site whether or not you provide us with any personal information. This information helps us to diagnose problems with our servers and administer the Site, and helps us in identifying you and your specific needs.

We may use click stream data (i.e., server address, domain name) to analyze and better customize your visits. Such uses may include traffic analysis or ecommerce analysis of our website to determine which features are most or least effective or useful to you.

How Your Personal Information is Used?

The financial data collected from iOffer is to bill you for iOffer’s services. Other information collected from iOffer Members is used to improve product offerings, customize our Site's content and layout, and for marketing and statistical efforts. Occasionally, we will send you emails about new services or promotions. You can always opt-out of receiving any information from us, but please understand that such a request will likely limit your ability to take advantage of all of the features and services available on iOffer.

 

Who will see my personal information?

Our number one priority is to keep your personal information private and confidential. Except as set forth herein we will not willfully disclose your personal information to third parties. And we will not rent or sell your personal information to anyone. However, certain personal information will be made available to others in the process of using our Site. This information includes:

• Other visitors to our Site may view your user ID, rating, city, and other items you have for sale;
• In order to complete the transaction, the buyer and seller are provided with each others email and postal address;
• When making an offer, the seller can view your user ID, rating and your city.

Of course once you provide personal information to a buyer or seller on our Site, iOffer has no control over how that information is used by that individual. You should discuss any privacy concerns you may have with any individual you meet through our Site, as the only protection you will have is whatever terms you agree to directly with this individual.

 

In addition, we provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners and other third parties (collectively "service partners"). Our service partners may use your personal information to operate our sites and to deliver their services. For example, your data may be transferred to website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in designing and operating the website, executing services or helping us analyze collected data. These parties will only use your data for the purpose of carrying out the work as agreed with us and will be required to keep the information confidential. We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your personal information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners and is not subject to our control.

iOffer will disclose your personally identifiable information to others under the following circumstances:

• You consent to share the information;
• In response to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, including from jurisdictions outside the United States;
• Your actions on our Site are, or appear to be, in violation of the Terms of Service and disclosure of this information will assist in efforts to enforce the Terms of Service;
• You post a listing which iOffer believes in its sole discretion may create liability for iOffer and disclosure of this personal information may minimize or eliminate its liability.
• For security purposes or to prevent imminent harm to any person or entity
• To cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal purposes.

We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful, as determined in our sole discretion. Release of your personal data for security purposes, as described in this agreement to any person or entity under any circumstances shall be based on a determination made solely by us, exercising our sole discretion, permission for which is expressly granted by you to us in accordance with this policy.

Nothing in this Policy shall limit, prohibit, or otherwise deny the ability of iOffer to (1) transfer, assign, or sell its assets, including, without limitation, the assets of our Site, to a third party or (2) dispose of its assets in any manner through bankruptcy or similar proceeding. iOffer also makes no representations regarding, and disclaims all liability arising out of or related to, the accuracy or completeness of the information it collects and discloses through our Site.

 

Security

In an effort to keep your information confidential, iOffer provides its Members with the highest industry standards for secure servers - Secure Socket Layers (SSL) and firewalls. We provide you with the capability to transmit your personal information via secured and encrypted channels if you use a similarly equipped web browser. Unfortunately, perfect security does not always exist on the Internet (or in the real world). Despite this, we will do our best to continue to ensure the security of your private information.

You may cancel your registration at any time. You may modify your personal information by logging in to our website and visiting your registration page at www.ioffer.com/user/edit and following the instructions provided.
