Orengeo, Inc.

Effective and Last Updated: April 29, 2011

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your personal information for our services on the orengeo website. It applies generally to the orengeo.com website and content and other related websites where this policy appears or a link to this policy appears on the bottom of the webpage.

By accepting the Privacy Policy and the User Agreement during the registration process, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

What Types of Information We Collect

You can browse our sites without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, once you provide us with your personal information, you are no longer anonymous to us. If you choose to provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers located in the United States.

We may collect and store the following personal information:

  • email address, physical contact information, and sometimes financial information, such as credit card or bank account numbers;
  • transactional information based on your activities on the sites such as bidding, buying, selling, item and content you generate or that relates to your account;
  • shipping, billing and other information you provide to purchase or ship an item;
  • community discussions, chats, dispute resolution, correspondence through our sites, and correspondence sent to us;
  • other information from your interaction with our sites, services, content and advertising, including computer and connection information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, ad data, IP address and standard web log information;
  • additional information we ask you to submit to authenticate yourself; and
  • other supplemental information from third parties. For example, if you incur a debt to orengeo, we may conduct a credit check by obtaining additional information about you from a credit bureau, as permitted by law.

How We Use Information

You agree that we may use your personal information to:

  • provide the services and customer support you request;
  • resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
  • prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce this Privacy Policy and/or other policies available in this site;
  • customize, measure and improve our services, content and advertising;
  • tell you about our services and related services, targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and
  • compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising. If you don't wish to receive marketing communications from us, please send and 'opt-out' message to marketing@orengeo.com

Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. Such information will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

We may also share your personal information with:

  • orengeo, Inc.’s corporate affiliates to provide joint content and services. Our corporate affiliates will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you’ve requested their services.
  • Service providers under contract to help with our business operations.
  • Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service.
  • Law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. We will disclose information relevant to the investigation.
  • Those of our service providers we believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, we will disclose information relevant to the investigation.
  • Other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity. If your personal information will be used in way inconsistent with this policy, you will receive prior notice.

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.

Using Information

orengeo enables you to share personal and financial information to complete transactions. We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your information and therefore we encourage you to evaluate the privacy and security policies of your transaction partner before entering into a transaction and choosing to share your information. We allow only limited access to other users' contact, shipping and financial information. Users involved in a transaction may have access to each other’s name, User ID, email address and other contact and shipping information.

You agree to use user information only for:

  • orengeo transaction-related purposes that are not unsolicited commercial messages;
  • using services offered through orengeo (such as Transaction Service, shipping, and fraud complaints),
  • other purposes that a user expressly chooses.

We and our users do not tolerate spam. You are not licensed to add other users to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their express consent. To report spam emails, please forward the email spam@orengeo.com. You may not use our communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our User Agreement. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.

Third Party Websites

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to others, whether they are bidders, buyers or sellers on our sites or other sites throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. We do not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable.

Security

Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use security tools to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the site.
