Co-Branded Relationships

 

We have established relationships with other parties to offer you the benefit of other products and services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these other parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from this website, or through offering "co-branded" sites in which both ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform resource locator, domain name or pages within a domain name on the internet. In some cases you may be required to submit information for purposes of registering or applying for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners. The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not have any control over the information that you submit to such third parties or co-branded sites. We therefore encourage you to read that policy before responding to any offers, products or services provided by such other parties.

 

Cookies

 

We use "cookies" to store specific information about you and track your visits to our site. It is not uncommon for websites to use cookies to enhance identification of their users. A "cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer's hard drive only if you access our site using the computer. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same computer to access our site, our web servers will be notified of your visit to our site and in turn we may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage. Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us to access your registration information, publishing information or payment information so you do not have to re-enter it; gather statistical information about usage by users; research visiting patters and help target advertisements based on user interests; assist our partners to track user visits to the site and process orders; and track progress and participation in promotions.

You can determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by configuring your browser's which is installed in the computer you are using to access the site. If you desire, you can change those configurations in your browser. By setting your preferences in the browser, you can accept all cookies, you can be notified when a cookie is sent, or you can reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling function in your browser, you may be required to re-enter your information on our site more often and certain features of our site may be unavailable.

 

Minors

 

newfaird.com and its contents are not intended to be targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not intend to sell any of our products or services to minors. However, we have no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our website and so we carry out the same privacy policy for individuals of all ages. If a minor has provided us with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information.

 

Security Measures

 

We employ commercially reasonable security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use of information. As a registered user, your registration information, publishing information and payment information (if any) can be viewed and edited through your account which is protected by password. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share a computer with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information (e.g., user ID and password) on the computer. Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your session.

No data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a result, while we try to protect your information, no web site or company, including ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

 

Changes to Privacy Policy

 

Any changes to this privacy policy will be communicated through our posting an amended and restated privacy policy on our site. Our posting the amended and restated privacy policy will make such new privacy policy immediately effective. You agree that all collected information (whether or not collected prior to or after the new policy became effective) will be governed by the newest privacy policy then in effect.

 

Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information

 

You can see, review and change most of your personal information by signing on to newfaird.com. Generally, we will not manually modify your personal information because it is very difficult to verify your identity remotely. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and assist with any investigation.

 

Disclaimers

Users’ Responsibilities in Regards to Privacy Protection

 

As a registered user, you have to protect your account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters as your password, and do not disclose your newfaird password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal 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 notify newfaird and change your password.

You should know your user ID is displayed throughout newfaird (and so available to the public), and is connected to all of your newfaird activity. Other people can see your bids, purchases, items for sale, storefronts, feedback, ratings and associated comments. Notices sent to other community members about suspicious activity and policy violations on our sites refer to user IDs and specific items. So if you associate your name with your user ID, the people to whom you have revealed your name will be able to personally identify your newfaird activities.
