Privacy Policy |
| |
| Your privacy is very important to us and you can be assured that
our privacy practices are held to high standards by outside organizations.
As part of the normal operation of our services we collect and, in some
cases, disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy describes the
information we collect about you and what may happen to that information.
Although this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy
because we believe you should know as much as possible about toSublet.com's
practices so that you can make an informed decision. Generally all of
our subsidiaries and joint venture partners operate under similar privacy
practices as described in this Privacy Policy and, subject to the requirements
of applicable law we strive to provide a consistent set of privacy practices
throughout our global toSublet.com community. This Privacy Policy is subject
to the terms of toSublet.com User Agreement. |

A Special Note About Children. Children are not eligible to
use our services and we ask that minors do not submit any personal information
to us. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction
with your parents or guardians. |

Information We Collect. Our primary goal in collecting
personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient,
and customized experience while using our services. This allows us to
provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to
customize our service to make your experience easier and quicker.
To fully use our services, you will need to register using our online
registration form, where you will be required to provide us with your
contact information and other personal information. Under some circumstances,
we require some additional information, including billing address, credit
card number and credit card expiration date. We use this credit card information
to verify your name, address, and other information.
We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior
on our site. We use this information to do internal research on our users'
demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our
users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis.
In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may also
offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie.
Among other reasons why we use cookies, cookies allow you to enter your
password less frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide
information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on
your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are "session cookies,"
meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. You
are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although
in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our site and
you may be required to reenter your password more frequently during a
session.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or
if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities
or postings on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific
to you.
We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing
and promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve
our content and product offerings and to customize our site's content,
layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve our site
and better tailor it to meet our users' needs. We may also use your information
to deliver information to you that, in some cases, are targeted to your
interests, such as targeted banners, new services and promotions. By accepting
the User Agreement you expressly agree to receive this information. We
use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact
you regarding administrative notices, new product offerings, and communications
relevant to your use of the Site. If you do not wish to receive these
communications, you may notify us via email and we will process your request
in a timely manner. We use information in the file we maintain about you,
and other information we obtain from your current and past activities
on the Site, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our
User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify
problems or resolve disputes, and in particular on rare occasions we may
evaluate your information to look for users using multiple User IDs or
aliases. |

Our Disclosure of Your Information. Unfortunately, due to the existing
regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private 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 transmissions or private communications.
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, in connection with an investigation
of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that
is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Further, we can (and you
authorize us to) disclose you UserID, name, street address, city, state,
zip code, country, phone number, email, and company to toSublet.com participants
as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection
with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy,
or other unlawful activity. 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 private communications
will remain private. As a general proposition, we do not sell or rent
any personally identifiable information about you to any third party.
The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable
information may be disclosed.
Advertisers. We do aggregate personally identifiable information
and disclose such information in aggregate to advertisers and for other
marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do
not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to personally
identify you. Certain information, such as your password, credit card
number, and bank account number, are not disclosed to marketing advertisers
in aggregate at all.
toSublet.com Community. Throughout the Site, you are identified
by your User ID. If you select your email address as your User ID, you
disclose your email address to other users and third parties. As a result,
other users and third parties might send you unsolicited email and be
able to personally identify all of your activities on the Site. Even if
your User ID is not your email address, your User ID may be used to identify
you and your activities throughout the Site. Other people can see your
postings on the Site.
Suppliers and Other Service Providers. We may use third party Suppliers
and Service Providers to facilitate our services. For example, we may
outsource the operations of one or more aspects of our site to a Supplier
or Service Provider who performs services according to our requirements.
In some instances, the Service Provider may collect information directly
from you (such as the situation where we ask a Service Provider to conduct
a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement
of the Supplier or Service Provider, and all information disclosures you
make will be strictly optional. In all cases, we restrict how these Suppliers
and Other Service Providers may access, use and disclose your information.
In general, we do not permit these Suppliers and Other Service Providers
to sell your information to third parties. |

|
| 4. |
Your Use of Other Users' Information.
In order to facilitate interaction among all toSublet.com community members,
our service allows you to access other users' contact information.
By entering into our User Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other
user's personally identifiable information that you obtain through the
Site or through a toSublet.com related communication, toSublet.com hereby
grants to you a license to use such information only for: toSublet.com-related
communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages. In all cases,
you must give users an opportunity to remove themselves from your database
and a chance to review what information you have collected about them.
In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this Section,
can you disclose personally identifiable information about another user
to any third party without our consent and the consent of such other user
after adequate disclosure. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Control of Your Password. Except as specifically permitted
by this section, you may not disclose your toSublet.com password to any
third parties nor share it with any third parties. If you lose control
of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally
identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions
taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised
for any reason, you should immediately change your password. |
| |
|
| 6. |
Reviewing and Changing Your Personally
Identifiable Information. Following registration, you can review and change the
information you submitted during registration. Upon your request, we will
remove your credit card number and credit card expiration date from our
databases.
We will retain in our files information you have requested to remove in
some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems
and enforce our User Agreement. Further, such prior information is never
completely removed from our databases due to technical constraints and
the fact that we back up our systems. Therefore, you should not expect
that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely
removed from our databases in response to your requests. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Other Information Collectors. Except as otherwise expressly
discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use
and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that
you disclose your information to other parties, buyers, sellers or sublettors
on our system or other sites throughout the Internet, 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 toSublet.com does not
control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the
privacy customs and policies of that third party. We encourage you to
ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Security. toSublet.com uses industry standard
efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable
information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet. |
