This Master Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains the collection, use, and disclosure of “personal information” by this website, Usedmonkey.com (hereafter “Site”).

This Privacy Policy also explains our commitment to you with respect to our use and disclosure of non personal browsing and site usage data that the Site collects as the provider of this website. That commitment is contained in a “Data Usage Policy,” below.

As used in this policy, “personal information” means information that would allow a party to identify you such as, for example, your name, address or location, telephone number or email address.

By accessing the Site you are accepting and agreeing to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Our Principles

Usedmonkey.com is committed to handling responsibly the information and data we collect about you through our website, whether personal information or non personal browsing and site usage data. We have designed our Privacy Policy and our Data Usage Policy consistent with the following principles (the “Principles”):

1. Privacy policies and data collection and use policies should be human readable, comprehensive, and easy to locate;
2. Only the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary to provide you with services should be collected and maintained, and only for so long as reasonably needed or required;
3. Information you provide through our website, or that we gather as a result of your use of our websites, should not be used for marketing or advertising purposes, nor should it be provided voluntarily (without your permission) to anyone else unless required; and
4. Unless restricted or prohibited by law, and provided your email address has been collected and retained, you should be notified when circumstances require Usedmonkey.com to provide a third party with your personal information.

Personal Information the Site Collects

We may collect personal information at several places on the Site, including without limitation:

• When you comment the name and email address you enter is stored
• When you visit the site your IP address is stored

What the Site does with Personal Information

Tracking and Analytics. Your IP address and any commenter information that you enter is stored for tracking and analytics purposes.

Any other personal information that we may collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.

Disclosures of Personal Information

In general, it is not the Site’s practice to disclose personal information to third parties. We may share personal information in two instances:

First, the Site may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of the website.

Second, we may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Master Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order; or (d) protect our rights, reputation, and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.

If the Site is required to provide a third party with your personal information (whether by subpoena or otherwise), then provided we have collected and retained an email address for you, the Site will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless prohibited by law or the Site is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.

Security of Personal Information Collected via the Site

Usedmonkey.com has implemented reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to and unlawful interception or processing of personal information that the Site stores and controls. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks. Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We will post a reasonably prominent notice to the Websites if any such security breach occurs.

Data Usage Policy: Non Personal Browsing and Site Usage Information

Our Data Usage Policy covers how we maintain and use information about you that is collected by our website and server logs.

Non Personal Browsing Information We Collect. When you use the Site, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of your “IP address”) about your activities while visiting the Site and information about the browser you are using.

No Linking. We do not intentionally link browsing information to the personal information you submit to us. We use this information for internal purposes only, such as to help understand how the Site is being used, to improve our Site and the features we provide, and for systems administration purposes. The Site uses a third party analytics provider to help us collect and analyze non personal browsing information through operation of our website for those same purposes.

No Selling or Sharing. Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, the Site does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the non personal browsing information we collect about you or your website usage to third parties.

No Retention. The Site discards non personal browsing information from our server logs once we have used the information for the limited purposes noted above, under “No Linking.”

Notice. If the Site is required to provide a third party with your non personal browsing information, then the Site will use reasonable means to notify you promptly of that event, unless the Site is prohibited by law from doing so or is otherwise advised not to notify you on the advice of legal counsel.

Any other non-personal information that we collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected and used in accordance with the Principles.

Reorganization or Spin-Offs

The Site may transfer some or all of your personal and/or non personal browsing information to a third party as a result of a reorganization, spin-off or similar transaction. Upon such transfer, the acquirer’s privacy policy will apply. In such event, the Site will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to ensure that at the time of the transaction the acquirer’s privacy policy complies with the Principles.

Children

The Websites are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. The Site specifically prohibits anyone using our website from submitting any personally identifiable information about persons under 13 years of age. Any person who provides their personal information to the Site through the website represents that they are 13 years of age or older.

Third-Party Sites

The Site may include links to other websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.

Special Note to International Users

The Websites are hosted in the United States. If you are accessing the Site from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use and disclosure that differ from United States laws, please note that you are transferring your personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU and other regions. By providing your personal data you consent to:

• the use of your personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with the Privacy Policy; and
• the transfer of your personal data to the United States as indicated above.

Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the Effective Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the Websites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
