The
short version
We
will aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose
such information in aggregate for a number of business purposes,
but in these situations we do not disclose to other entities
any information that could be used to personally identify
you. We will never sell, trade, rent, or barter any personally
identifiable information about individual site visitors. Any
financial information provided in any transaction on our site
will be used only for the specified transaction and not stored.
We sincerely appreciate your patronage.
The
long version
(for those of you
with too much time on your hands)
Our
users' privacy is very important to us. However, we collect
and, in some cases, disclose information about you as part
of the normal operation of our site. This Privacy Policy describes
the information we collect about you and what may happen to
that information. As described below, some information we
collect from you is disclosed to third parties and used by
us and third parties. When you use the WiseNomad.com site,
you expressly consent to such use and disclosure of your information.
WiseNomad.com
may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended
policy on the WiseNomad site, and such amendments will become
effective upon posting.

you have any questions about this policy, we can be contacted

Information
About You
To utilize the full functionality of our site, you may be
asked to provide personal information (including without limitation
name, email address, street address, telephone number and
fax number). We may also collect transaction information (including
without limitation prices, item descriptions, shipping destinations
and other transaction-related information) about the listings
and bids you place and transactions you conduct through our
site. Without your permission, we do not sell or rent any
of your personally identifiable information to third parties.
When you voluntarily list equipment for sale, place bids on
equipment, purchase products or services, or enter into transactions
with other users or third parties through our site, these
parties may be provided with your personally identifiable
information and transaction information in connection with
such activities and transactions.
We
do aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose
such information in aggregate for a number of business purposes,
but in these situations we do not disclose to other entities
any information that could be used to personally identify
you. We use this information in the normal operation of the
site and we may disclose this information on an aggregated
basis. Also, we may use information we obtain from you to
display on our site ads or offers from advertisers that we
think may be relevant to you, but in these cases we do not
disclose any personally identifiable information about you
to third parties.
We
may track certain technical information about your use of
our site. 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.
We
may also use cookies on our site. Cookies are small pieces
of information stored on your computer hard drive, not on
our site. Among other things, cookies can permit you to enter
your password less frequently during a session. Cookies can
also help us provide information that is targeted to your
interests so that we may focus our resources on features that
are the most popular. You are always free to decline our cookies
if your browser permits, although in that case you may be
required to reenter your password multiple times during a
session.
If
you send us correspondence, such as emails or letters, or
if other users or third parties send us correspondence about
your use of our services, we may collect such information
into a file specific to you. We use information in the file
we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from
your current and past use of the service, to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our user agreement.
Your
Email Address and Personalized Content
If you indicate that you want to receive email updates about
WiseNomad.com, as part of our service we may send to you periodic
emails and newsletters containing information about us, updates
on new product and service features, product and service usage
tips, information about third party services that are likely
to be of interest to our customers, and customer satisfaction
questions.
If
you indicate that you want WiseNomad.com to share your name
with advertisers, or if you otherwise expressly indicate to
us that you would like to receive information about products
and services from third parties, we may disclose your name
and email address to these parties.
If
you indicate that you want us to personalize your content
based on your profile, we may use the information you provide
to us to filter the content we deliver to you and to provide
you with content we believe may be relevant to you.
In
addition to the periodic emails described above, we may use
your email address to send you administrative notices about
your account (such as notices about pending activities).
Third
Party Collectors of Information and Public Information.
Our
policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you. Other sites (including those third party
sites or services that we co-brand) may have their own policies
and practices, which we do not control, and thus are not addressed
by this policy. To the extent that you disclose your information
to other parties, such as other users or third party suppliers
of products and services that link to our site or with which
we co-brand, 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 we do not control
the privacy policies of third parties, we encourage you to
ask questions before you disclose your personal information
to others.
Our
site may make electronic storefronts, chat rooms, forums,
message boards and/or newsgroups available to you. You should
bear in mind that any information disclosed in these areas
is public information and may be disclosed to and used by
third parties.
Nondisclosure
Can't Be Guaranteed
Unfortunately (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this policy), due to the existing regulatory and technical
environment, we cannot guarantee that all of your 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 your transmissions or 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 communications
will remain private.
We
sincerely appreciate your patronage
