Our Data Collection Practices

You can browse our websites without sharing any personal information. However, once you provide us with your information, you are no longer anonymous. By choosing to share your personal details, you agree to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers.

We may collect and store the following types of personal information:

Contact and Financial Information: This includes your email address, physical address, and, for certain services, financial details like credit card or bank account numbers.

Transactional Data: We collect information related to your activities on our sites, such as your purchases, sales, and the content you create.

Shipping and Billing Details: We store the information you provide to purchase or ship items.

Correspondence: We keep records of community discussions, chats, dispute resolutions, and other communications you have with us or on our sites.

Technical Data: We gather information about your interactions with our sites, services, content, and ads. This includes your computer and connection information, page views, site traffic, ad data, IP address, and standard web log data.

Information from Third Parties: We may receive additional information about you from other companies, such as demographic data. For example, if you owe us money, we might perform a credit check through a credit bureau as allowed by law. We may also ask you for supplemental information—like a driver’s license, credit card statement, or utility bill—to verify your identity or address if the information you initially provide cannot be confirmed.

How We Use Your Information

Our main goal in collecting your information is to give you a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. By using our services, you agree that we can use your personal data to:

Provide services and support: We use your information to give you the services and customer support you ask for.

Manage your account: This includes resolving disputes, collecting fees, and troubleshooting any problems.

Ensure safety and security: We use your data to prevent illegal or prohibited activities and to enforce our User Agreement.

Improve our offerings: We use the information to customize, measure, and improve our services, content, and advertising.

Send you information: We’ll notify you about targeted marketing, service updates, and special offers based on your communication preferences.

Verify your data: We may compare your information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.

Marketing and Advertising

we may combine your personal information, like your email address and phone number, with data we get from other companies. This helps us to improve and personalize our services, content, and advertising. You may also receive advertisements or messages from us or from third parties.

How and When We Disclose Your Information

We may share your personal information in specific situations to comply with legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that content violates the rights of others, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of any individual.

We may also share your information with the following parties:

Our Corporate Family: We may share your data with other companies in our corporate family to help prevent illegal activities and to provide joint content and services like registration, transactions, and customer support. Please note that these affiliates will only send you marketing communications if you have specifically requested them.

Service Providers: We work with third-party service providers who help us run our business. They are under contract to assist with things like fraud investigations, bill collection, and other business operations.

Third Parties You Approve Of: We will share your information with other third parties when you explicitly ask us to, or when you are notified and consent to it while using a particular service.

Law Enforcement and Government Officials: We may disclose your information to law enforcement or other government officials in response to a verified request related to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. In these cases, we will provide information relevant to the investigation, such as your name, contact information, IP address, and transaction history.

Our VRO Program Participants: We may share your information with participants in our Verified Rights Owner (VRO) Program under a confidentiality agreement. This is done when we believe it is necessary for an investigation into fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. The information shared in these instances may include your name, address, phone number, and company name.

Business Transfers: If we plan to merge with or be acquired by another business, we may share your personal information with that entity. If this happens, we will ensure that the new combined entity follows this privacy policy regarding your personal information. If your information will be used in a way that is different from this policy, we will give you advance notice.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping our community safe. As a general rule, we will not disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or third parties without a subpoena, court order, or a similar legal process. However, we may make an exception if we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity.

Public Nature of Your User ID

Your User ID is a public identifier on our platform. This means that all of your activity on our sites is connected to and traceable through this ID.

Other users can view your public actions, including:

Purchases and items you have previously bought

Items you currently have for sale

Your storefronts

Feedback and ratings you’ve received, along with any comments

Additionally, we may send notices to other community members about suspicious activity or policy violations, and these notices will refer to specific User IDs and items.

It’s important to understand that if you link your real name to your User ID, anyone to whom you’ve revealed your name can then personally identify and track your activities on our sites.

How to Use Information from Other Users

Our platform is designed to help you share personal and financial details to complete transactions. While we make it possible for you to connect with others, we can’t guarantee the security of the information you share with them. It’s a good practice to review the privacy and security policies of your trading partner before you complete a transaction and share your personal information.

To help protect your privacy, we only allow limited access to other users’ contact, shipping, and financial information. When you’re in a transaction, you may see the other user’s name, User ID, email address, and other contact and shipping details.

If you collect any information about another user, you must:

Give them the opportunity to remove themselves from your database.

Let them review the information you have collected about them.

Restrictions on Using User Information

When you get another user’s information, you agree to use it only for the following purposes:

Completing a transaction on our platform—you can’t use it for unsolicited commercial messages.

Using a service offered through us, such as escrow, insurance, shipping, or filing a fraud complaint.

Any other purpose that the user has specifically agreed to.

Our Use of Cookies

We use “cookies,” which are small files stored on your hard drive, to enhance your experience on our websites. These cookies help us to:

Analyze how people use our site.

Customize our services, content, and advertising.

Measure the effectiveness of our promotions.

Promote trust and safety across our platform.

Key Details About Our Cookies

Here are a few important things to know about how we use cookies:

Essential for Features: Some of our website features are only available through the use of cookies. For example, we use them to identify you and keep you signed in.

Session Cookies: Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies.” This means they are automatically deleted from your hard drive once you end your browsing session.

Your Control: You always have the option to decline our cookies if your web browser allows it. However, if you choose to do this, some of our site’s features and services may not work correctly.

Third-Party Cookies: You might come across cookies from third parties on certain pages of our sites. For example, if you visit a page created by another user, that page may place its own cookie that we don’t control.

Our Policy on Spam, Spyware, and Spoofing

We have a zero-tolerance policy for spam. To control how we communicate with you, please set your notification preferences in your account.

You are not allowed to add other users to your email or physical mailing lists without their explicit consent, even if they have bought an item from you. If you receive any spam or suspicious “spoof” emails that seem to be from us, please report them immediately.

You must not use our communication tools to send spam or any content that violates our User Agreement. We automatically scan and may manually filter messages for things like spam, viruses, phishing, and other malicious or illegal content. However, we do not permanently store messages sent through these tools.

If you use a feature like “Refer-a-Friend” to email someone not registered with our community, we will not permanently store that email address or use it for any marketing purposes. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.

Protecting Your Account

Your password is the most important key to your account’s security. To keep it safe, you should:

Create a unique password using a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters.

Never share your password with anyone.

If you do share your password or any personal information with others, you are responsible for all actions taken from your account. If you lose control of your password, you could lose significant control over your personal information and may even face legally binding actions taken on your behalf.

If you believe your password has been compromised for any reason, you must contact us immediately and change your password.

Managing Your Personal Information

You can easily review and change most of your personal information by logging into your account. For your security, we generally do not make manual changes to your information ourselves, as it is difficult to verify your identity remotely. It’s important that you promptly update your personal information if it changes or if you find any inaccuracies.

Please note that once you make a public posting, you may not be able to edit or delete it.

Closing Your Account

If you would like to close your account, you can make a request to have it removed from public view. We will process this request as soon as is reasonably possible, taking into account your account activity and any applicable legal requirements.

Keep in mind that even after an account is closed, we may retain some personal information. This is necessary for a few reasons, including to:

Comply with legal obligations.

Prevent fraud.

Collect any fees that are owed.

Resolve disputes and troubleshoot problems.

Assist with investigations.

Enforce our User Agreement.

Take any other actions permitted by law.

Our Security Measures

We store your information on our servers and treat it as a valuable asset that needs strong protection. We use a variety of tools to safeguard your personal data from unauthorized access and disclosure. These include:

Encryption

Passwords

Physical security measures

However, it’s important to understand that no security system is completely impenetrable. Third parties may still try to unlawfully intercept transmissions or access private communications. Likewise, other users might misuse the personal information they collect from the site.

While we work very hard to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee that your personal information or private communications will always remain completely private. We ask that you remain cautious and aware of these risks.

Our Policy on Third Parties

This Privacy Policy only covers how we, bold multi-purpose Ltd., use and share the information we collect from you. If you share your personal information with other individuals or businesses—whether they are buyers or sellers on our sites or on other websites—their own privacy policies will apply.

We do not control the privacy practices of any third parties. It is your responsibility to review their privacy policies and understand how they will handle your information. We strongly recommend that you ask questions and exercise caution before you disclose your personal information to anyone else.

General Information

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will post the updated terms directly on our site. All changes will become effective automatically as soon as they are posted.

If you have questions that are not addressed in this policy, you may contact us by writing to:
