PROTECTING
THE PRIVACY OF CHILDREN |
|
| |
Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any
information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone
numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. Our website is not
directed at children under 13 and we won't knowingly allow anyone under 13 to
provide us any personally identifying information; if you're under 13, please
don't provide any information about yourself on this website. |
|
|
|
THE
INFORMATION WE COLLECT |
|
| |
The information we
gather falls into two categories: (1) information supplied by visitors to the
site when they list a car for sale, new car price quote, auto finance quote,
perform a search, enter a sweepstakes or other promotional contest, or initiate
a transaction, and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate
through our website and review our email newsletters and other email messages.
Third-party providers featured on or linked to by our website, such as vendors
of products and services offered through our site by third parties, may be
gathering information, as well, through processes we don't control.
Searches and Listings To make use of certain features on our site,
visitors need to provide limited information about themselves and their
interests so that we can tailor the information we provide to their needs. For
example, to help you find the car you want close to home, we need to know what
kind of car you're looking for and your state, metro or zip code. We may ask
you to provide this information when you perform a search. We use this
information to help you find the car you're looking for. If you find a listing
that interests you and elect to send the seller an email through our website,
we'll share with the seller the contact information you supply through our
online form. If you call a dealer to inquire about a car listed on our site, we
may provide the dealer with the date, time, and duration of your call, as well
as the number from which the call originated. When you list a car for sale, we
ask for information on the car and on how you can be contacted by potential
buyers. We also ask for your credit card number and the expiration date on your
card. We use this information to create your listing and to process your
payment.
Sweepstakes and Other Promotions From time to time, we may offer
sweepstakes or other promotions on our website. If you enter a sweepstakes or
promotional contest, we'll ask you to provide information about yourself (such
as your name, address, and email address). Among other things, we'll need this
information to contact you if you win. We may share this information with any
co-sponsor of the contest or sweepstakes, which we'll identify in the contest
rules. If you don't want us to collect the information requested in the contest
or sweepstakes registration form or to provide it to co-sponsors, please do not
enter the contest or sweepstakes.
Email Addresses If you provide us your email address, we'll send you our
monthly newsletter, and, from time to time, offers we think may be of interest
to you. Though we hope you'll find these informative and useful, if you don't,
you can always unsubscribe by following the simple instructions included in
each email. And you can opt out of receiving the newsletter or other emails at
all by indicating, when you list a car for sale or inquire about a car listed
on our website, that you'd prefer not to get our newsletter or receive these
offers.
Cookies To help us tailor our website to the needs and interests of our
visitors, we keep track of the pages visited by our users by placing a cookie,
a small entry in text file, on your hard drive. The cookie contains an ID
number that allows us to track the pages you've visited. We aggregate this data
with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic
patterns. We use this information to improve our site by making it more
responsive to the needs of our users. We also use cookies to make sure you
don't see the same ad repeatedly during a single visit to our site. Cookies
don't reveal personal information; the only personal information a cookie can
contain is information you supply yourself. Cookies can't read unrelated data
off your hard drive. Our advertisers and those who provide products and/or
services through our site may also assign their own cookies, a process we don't
control. We don't have access to these cookies or to any information they
contain. The help function on most web browsers contains information on how to
set your browser to notify you before accepting a cookie or to disable cookies
entirely. However, if you don't accept cookies, you won't be able to take
advantage of various features on our site that are available to other visitors.
Browser Level Information Our web server automatically collects limited
information about your computer configuration when you visit our site,
including the type of browser software you use, the operating system you're
running, the resolution of your computer monitor, the website that referred
you, and your IP address. (Your IP address is a numerical address that is used
by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data
(such as the web pages you want to view) can be transmitted to you. We also use
IP address information for systems administration and trouble shooting
purposes. Your IP address does not tell us who you are.) We use this
information to make our site as useful as we can for as many users as possible.

USE
AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
|
|
| |
When
we present information to our advertisers -- to help them understand
our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our website
-- it is usually in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic
to various pages within our site. When you list your car for sale
on Newautoseeker.com.com, we may provide your contact information
to an affiliate partner, which may use this information to contact
you about listing your vehicle or other related services. If you
wish to review or update your profile (or to deactivate your profile
completely), send an email and the
Newautoseeker.com.com staff will make your requested changes for
you. After asking Customer Service to make the change for you
(or to deactivate your profile), please allow 24 to 48 hours for
implementation. Any credit card information you may provide to
us is secured during transmission over the Internet using industry-standard
secure socket layer (SSL) encryption and is stored on our secure
servers. (See "Security," below.) We use your credit card information
only to bill you for the products and services you order from
us. We don't share your credit card information with anyone, except
as may be necessary to process your transactions. |

LINKS
AND FEATURES OFFERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER PROVIDERS |
|
| |
To make our website
more valuable to our visitors, we feature some products and services that come
from other providers. Our finance, insurance, warranty, and inspection
services, for example, are made available through cooperative arrangements with
companies that specialize in providing such services. We share with these third
parties such information as is necessary for them to provide the products or
services. Of course, our site includes links to other websites, and provides
access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy
policies we don't control. When you access another website or purchase products
or services or conduct other transactions through our website, use of any
information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of
the site you're visiting or the provider of such products or services. When you
provide information in the course of obtaining products or services through our
site, use of any information you provide may be governed by the privacy policy
of the provider of those products or services. The provider's privacy policy
may differ from ours. If you can't find the privacy policy of any of our
provider partners via a link either from their site's homepage or from the
pages on which the products or services are offered, you should contact the
provider directly for more information. |

OTHER
DISCLOSURES
|
|
| |
We may occasionally
release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply
with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property
or safety of visitors to our site, our customers, the public or
Newautoseeker.com.com. As our business grows, we may buy or sell various
assets. In the unlikely event that SeekAndSellOline.com Inc or
Newautoseeker.com.com, or one of its business units, or substantially all of
its assets is acquired by another company, information on our visitors would be
among the transferred assets. We also may allow others to search some of our
databases (our listings database, for example) and to analyze the data they
find there or aggregate it with other data, either for their business purposes,
or ours. Though some of the information in our databases may be personally
identifying (such as the contact information included in a vehicle listing),
we'll only allow searches of the portions of our database that contain
information that is otherwise publicly available on our website. |
|
|
|
SECURITY |
|
| |
Information we
gather on our website is stored within Newautoseeker.com.com-controlled
databases (or databases hosted on our behalf) on servers maintained in
protected environments. Any credit card information you provide us is secured
for transmission over the Internet using industry-standard secure sockets layer
(SSL) encryption. (Click here to learn more about the SSL protocol.) However,
no physical or electronic security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee
the security of our servers or databases, nor can we guarantee that information
you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the
Internet. And, of course, any information you include in a vehicle listing is
available to anyone with Internet access. |

CHANGES
TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT |

The Web is an
evolving medium. If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the
future, we'll post the changes to this Privacy Statement before they take
effect. By visiting Newautoseeker.com.com, you agree that your visit, and any
dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Statement and our Visitor
Agreement.
