CHOONE Privacy Policy
PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy describes how we handle your personal information. We
collect, use, and share personal information to help the CHOONE website
(“CHOONE”) work and to keep it safe (details below). In formal terms, CHOONE
acting itself and through its subsidiaries, is the “data controller” of your
personal information. This policy is effective March 21, 2008.
Information Collection: Information posted on CHOONE is
obviously publicly available. Our servers are located in Iran, The European
Union, The United States and Canada. Therefore, if you choose to provide us with
personal information, you are consenting to the transfer and storage of that
information on our servers in Iran, The European Union, The United States and
Canada. We collect and store the following personal information:
-
IP address, email address, physical contact information, and (depending on
the service used) sometimes financial information;
-
computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and from CHOONE
and ad data (all through cookies – you can take steps to disable the cookies
on your browser although this is likely to affect your ability to use the
site);
-
other information, including users IP address and standard web log
information.
Information Use: We use users personal information to:
-
provide our services;
-
resolve disputes, collect fees and troubleshoot problems;
-
encourage safe trading and enforce our policies;
-
customize users experience, measure interest in our services, and inform
users about services and updates;
-
communicate marketing and promotional offers to you;
-
do other things for users as described when we collect the information.
Disclosure: We don’t sell or rent users’ personal information
to third parties for their marketing purposes without users explicit consent. We
may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our
policies, respond to claims that a posting or other content violates other’s
rights, or protect anyone’s rights, property, or safety. We may also share
personal information with:
-
corporate affiliates who help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts
and provide joint services. (our corporate
affiliates will market only to users who ask them to).
-
service providers who help with our business operations.
Using Information from CHOONE: You may use personal information
gathered from CHOONE only to follow up with another user about a specific
posting, not to send spam or collect personal information from someone who
hasn’t agreed to that.
Access, Modification, and Deletion: You can see, modify or
erase your personal information by reviewing your posting or account status
page. Contact customer support at
info@choone.com
to review any personal information we store that is not available on
CHOONE. There may a charge associated with such requests but these will not
exceed the amounts permitted by law. We delete personal information when we no
longer need it for the purposes we described earlier. We retain personal
information as permitted by law to resolve disputes, enforce our policies; and
prevent bad guys from coming back.
Security: We use lots of tools (encryption, passwords, physical
security) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and
disclosure, but as you probably know, nothing’s perfect, so we make no
guarantees.
General: We may update this policy at any time, with updates
taking effect when you next post or after 30 days, whichever is sooner. If we or
our corporate affiliates are involved in a merger or acquisition, we may share
personal information with another company, but this policy will continue to
apply. Send questions about this policy to: info@choone.com
