the information is collected.
Principle 3 - Consent
Except where required or permitted
by law your informed consent is required for our collection, use or disclosure
of your personal information.
Principle 4 - Limiting Collection
The personal information collected
by us shall be limited to those details necessary for the purposes identified with
you. To that end, please note the following description of the type of
information collected and the reason we collect such information. AuctionRPM
does not require any financial or payment information, except during the
process of purchasing one of our products. Even so, such financial or payment
information is only collected by our merchant services company, and due to
this, none of your financial information is kept in our in-house computer
systems. Additionally, AuctionRPM does not intentionally collect information
from any individual under the age of 13 years.
Additionally, none of the material
or advertising on AuctionRPM is intended to attract audiences under the age of

individual under the age of 13 years.
Personal Information
If you would like to create a new
member account, we will collect your name, email address, desired password,
address, and website information. In addition, at your option, if you would
like to increase your profile on the Site or with AuctionRPM generally, or if
you would like to be considered for employment (please see Principle 5 for a
discussion on this point), you may also provide whatever personal information
you choose including, without limitation, and/or a brief personal description.
In some limited circumstances,
credit card information may be entered. Please note that in these
circumstances, screens in the AuctionRPM domain will be created and operated
through what is called an "iframe" which a window or a portal to the
credit card processor (a.k.a. merchant services company) used by the AuctionRPM
system. In these cases, your credit card information IS NOT stored on our
servers, and as such this information is only utilized by our credit card
processor for the purpose processing whatever transaction you choose to
complete.
Of course, any time you choose to
post an editorial, or other message on the Site, that information is stored by
AuctionRPM and is potentially viewed, together with the biographical
information you have provided, by all users of the Site.
Cookies
We use cookies, a piece of text
stored on a user’s computer by their web browser, to store your viewing
preferences on the Site and, at your choosing, to store your login information
so that once you have logged in you do not need to repeat the login process. We
also use a session cookie, meaning it expires soon after you leave the
registration process and is not placed on your hard drive, to store your
session information during your visit to the Site. Read our Cookie Policy for
more information.
Anonymous Information
In addition to personal
information, certain anonymous information about your visit is potentially
captured automatically when you visit the Site. This information can include
the name of the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP) address
through which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site;
the pages that you access while at the Site and the Internet address of the Web
site from which you linked directly to our site. None of this information is
personally identifiable. This anonymous information is used to help improve the
Site, analyze trends, and administer the Site.
Principle 5 - Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention
We will only use or disclose your
personal information in accordance with the purposes for which it was
originally collected unless you have otherwise consented, or when it is
required or permitted by law.
Use of your Personal
Information
We use your personal information
for the following purposes:
·
To register you for Site membership.
·
To customize your experience on the Site.
·
To send electronic e-mail newsletters, if
requested by you.
· To fill in certain information for you such as your name and signature when posting messages.
Safeguarding Personal
Information
AuctionRPM strictly protects the
security of your personal information, including any financial information, and
honors your choices for its intended use. Data is stored in password-controlled
servers with limited access. While no security infrastructure is foolproof, we
carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or
disclosure, alteration or destruction.
When Information May be
Disclosed to Outside Parties:
Except as specifically provided
for in this privacy policy, we do not disclose any personal information to
third parties. Having said this, AuctionRPM may disclose personal information
in the following instances:
·
To conform to the edicts of the law or comply
with legal process served to AuctionRPM, or the Site;
·
To protect and defend the rights or property of
AuctionRPM and our family of Web sites, including without limitation
investigating potentially fraudulent or questionable activities regarding your
account(s) or the use of the Site;
·
To act in urgent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of users of AuctionRPM, our Web sites, or the public;
·
To offer you related products and services that
might benefit you (see below);
·
As part of a single-sign-on solution from
third-party providers;
·
In anticipation of, and in the
course of, an actual or potential sale, reorganization, consolidation,
merger or amalgamation of our business; and
·
Otherwise as permitted or required by law.
The type of information we are
legally required to disclose may relate to criminal investigations. In some instances,
such as a legal proceeding or court order, we may also be required to disclose
certain information to authorities. Only the information specifically requested
is disclosed and we take precautions to satisfy ourselves that the authorities
that are making the request have legitimate and legal grounds to do so.
In addition, AuctionRPM
occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
including packaging, mailing and delivering communications, answering user
questions about products and services, sending postal mail, and sending information
about our products, and other new services. We will only provide those companies
with the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Other than making you aware of
existing or new capabilities on the AuctionRPM site, we do not advertise any
third-party products or services for commercial gain at the time of this
writing.
Finally, for your convenience, we
offer single sign-on solutions for account login. These third parties
(including but not limited to GitHub Google, among others) may receive
information from these services when you elect to use them.
Email Addresses
Because email is the dominant form
of communication between AuctionRPM and you, we wanted to address certain
aspects of handling email addresses separately. Email addresses collected as
part of the sign-up process are not made publicly available, except in
accordance with the terms of this privacy policy. Most of the time, email
addresses are simply used to confirm your identity and to communicate with you
via email.
To comply with anti-spam
legislation such as CANSPAM (in the United States) there may be cases where a
third-party email data house is used to advise us as to which addresses on our
list have specifically opted out of emails from a given advertiser. For this to
occur we send our list to the data house, the advertiser sends their list to
the data house, and the data house then advises us of the results. At no time
do we see the third-party company's list nor do they see our list. The data house
operates under strict privacy guidelines and obligations of confidentiality.
Principle 6 - Accuracy
We shall make every reasonable
effort to ensure your personal information is maintained in an accurate,
complete and up-to-date form.
Principle 7 - Safeguarding
Personal Information
AuctionRPM strictly protects the
security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended
use. Data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. While
no security infrastructure is foolproof, we carefully protect your data from
loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Electronic customer files are kept
in a highly secure environment with restricted access.
We manage our server environment
appropriately and our firewall infrastructure is strictly adhered to. Our
security practices are reviewed on a regular basis, and we routinely employ
current technologies to ensure that the confidentiality and privacy of your
information is not compromised.
Our web site uses Transport Layer
Security (TLS) and 256-bit encryption technologies to enhance security when you
visit the secured areas of these sites. TLS is the industry standard tool for
protecting and maintaining the security of message transmissions over the
Internet. When you access your accounts or send information from secured sites,
encryption will scramble your data into an unreadable format to inhibit
unauthorized access by others.
Our Employees and your
Personal Information:
During daily operations, access to
personal information is restricted to authorized employees who have a
legitimate business purpose and reason for accessing it. For example, when you
call us, our designated employees will access your information to verify who
you are and to assist you in fulfilling your requests.
As a condition of their employment,
all employees of AuctionRPM are required to abide by the privacy standards we
have established. Employees are informed about the importance of privacy, and
they understand that they are prohibited from disclosing any customer
information to unauthorized individuals or parties.
Principle 8 - Openness
If you would like a copy of our
privacy policies, we would be more than happy to provide one for you and if you
have any questions regarding same, we are more than happy to discuss the merits
with you.
Principle 9 - Accessing and Amending Your Information:
You have the right to access,
verify and amend the information held in your personal files. You can review
and edit your member profile information at the AuctionRPM site by logging on
to AuctionRPM site with your logon email and password and then clicking on the
"Manage Your Account" link under the "Account/Logout". You
also have the option on your account page to delete your account entirely. This
will remove all personally identifiable information.
To help us keep your personal
information up to date, we encourage you to amend inaccuracies and make
corrections as often as necessary. Despite our efforts, errors sometimes do
occur. Should you identify any incorrect or out-of-date information in your
file(s), we will make the proper changes.
