As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any of
your personal information to third parties for their
marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
However, the following describes some of the ways
that your personal information may be disclosed in
the normal scope of business to provide our
services.
We aggregate (gather up data across all user
accounts) personal information and disclose such
information in a non-personally identifiable manner
to advertisers and other third parties for their
marketing and promotional purposes. However, in
these situations, we do not disclose to these
entities any information that could be used to
identify you personally. Certain information, such
as your name, email address, password, credit card
number, and bank account number, are not disclosed
to these third parties in a personally identifiable
manner without your explicit consent.
We may use third parties that we refer to as
internal service providers to facilitate or
outsource one or more aspects of the business,
product and service operations that we provide to
you (e.g., search technology, discussion boards,
bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs,
co-branded credit cards) and therefore we may
provide some of your personal information directly
to these internal service providers. These internal
service providers' are subject to confidentiality
agreements with us and other legal restrictions that
prohibit their use of the information we provide
them for any other purpose except to facilitate the
specific outsourced LirTrade related operation,
unless you have explicitly agreed or given your
prior permission to them for additional uses. In
some instances, the internal service provider may
collect information directly from you. In these
cases, you will be notified of the involvement of
the internal service provider, and all additional
information you provide them and their additional
uses will be strictly up to you. If you provide
additional information to an internal service
provider directly, then their use of your personal
information is governed by their applicable privacy
policy.
We share much of our data, including personal
information about you, with our subsidiaries and
joint ventures that are committed to serving your
online trading needs and related services,
throughout the world. To the extent that these
entities have access to your information, they will
treat it at least as protectively as they treat
information they obtain from their other users. Our
subsidiaries and joint ventures follow privacy
practices no less protective of all users than our
practices described in this document, to the extent
allowed by applicable law. LirTrade, its
subsidiaries, its joint ventures, or any combination
of such, will share some or all of your personal
information with another business entity should we
plan to, merge with, or be acquired by that business
entity. Should such a combination occur, we will
require that the new combined entity follow this
privacy policy with respect to your personal
information. If your personal information will be
used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior
notice in as provided in Section 12 ("Notice").
LirTrade cooperates with law enforcement inquiries,
as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such
as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other
rights, to help protect you and the LirTrade
community from bad actors. Therefore, in response to
a verified request by law enforcement or other
government officials relating to a criminal
investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can
(and you authorize us to) disclose your name, city,
state, telephone number, email address, UserID
history and fraud complaints history without a
subpoena. 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 or other government officials 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
report suspected illegal activity.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we
cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other personal 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 personal information to the government or
third parties under certain circumstances, third
parties may unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications, or users
may abuse or misuse your personal information that
they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we
use industry standard practices to protect your
privacy, we do not promise, and you should not
expect, that your personal information or private
communications will always remain private.
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by
posting the amend terms on the Site. All amended
terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after
they are initially posted on the Site. In addition,
we will notify you in accordance with your
Notification Preferences |
