Privacy
Policy
BidABand.com knows how important
your privacy is to you, and we appreciate you trusting us to handle your
personal information responsibly and with integrity. The information we gather
is used to provide you with a good experience and to help us improve our service
for you. This document describes BidABand.com's privacy policy and practices.
Please note that you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Policy by visiting and using BidABand.com or BidADJ.com, herein referred to as
BidABand.com.
Our
Commitment BidABand.com is
committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and vendors. Since we collect
certain types of information at the time our service is used, we have created
this policy to let our users know what information we collect, how the collected
information is used to benefit our clients, and how we protect the information
that is provided to us. Rest assured, the privacy of our clients and vendors is
of utmost importance to us, and BidABand.com will make every effort to ensure
that our users are effectively informed and protected.
Client
Protection In order to
submit a request to our community of vendors, clients are required to provide us
with an email address, as our service is email-based. The email address allows
us to deliver vendor responses to the client online. Clients' email addresses
are never disclosed to third parties without consent. In certain situations, we
may require a ZIP Code to process a request for the purpose of geographically
matching clients and vendors.
In addition
to providing limited information provided by clients to vendors as described
above, BidABand.com protects the contact information you provide to us
internally. Only authorized employees and subcontractors will have access to the
information provided to us in requests.
BidABand.com
reserves the right to provide aggregate statistics about our clients, sales,
traffic patterns, and related Web site information to reputable third party
vendors, but these statistics will not include any personal or identifying
information. Clients have the
option to cancel requests at any time. BidABand.com reserves the right to cancel
clients or client requests at any time.
Vendor
Protection To become a
registered vendor with BidABand.com, interested parties must provide us with
contact information. Contact information submitted for account administration
purposes is considered strictly confidential, will not be shared with clients
without consent, and will be used for billing purposes and to provide updates
about the BidABand.com service. Vendors may update or revise any account and
contact information by visiting the "Vendor Sign-In" section of our Web site.
Vendors may deactivate their account by contacting Customer Support at support@bidaband.com. BidABand.com reserves the right to
delete a vendor at any time.
Contact
information will be included in the response emails BidABand.com sends on behalf
of vendors. This information is necessary for clients to contact vendors
directly. Vendors provide information on how they wish to be contacted and may
opt to be contacted in any or all of the following ways: phone, fax, email,
pager, or the vendor’s Web site.
Information we
collect Certain
information is automatically tracked about our users when they use our Web site.
This information includes the URL that the user just came from (whether this URL
is on our site or not), the URL that the user goes to next (whether this URL is
on our site or not), the operating system the user is using, the browser the
user is using, and the user's IP address. This information is collected to
analyze trends, track user movement and use, gather broad demographic
information, and administer the site. Many sites automatically collect this
information.
Note This site has
security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the
information under our control. Except where noted, information is only for our
registration and accounting purposes. Though we make every effort to preserve
user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law
wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with
a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web
site.
We ask
for your consent to our Privacy Policy By using
Respond.com you agree to the above uses of your personal information. If at any
time this policy changes, those changes will be posted to this page so that you
are aware of our intent to better protect your privacy. You will be notified
through email prior to any substantive changes in how we use your personal
information. At that time, we will notify vendors as to how they may cancel
their service (if they wish), and we will notify clients as to how they may
opt-out of receiving marketing communications (if they wish).
We ask
for your comments and questions If you have any
questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact Customer Support at support@bidaband.com.
