CarClassifieds.com Privacy Policy
CarClassifieds,
Inc. respects the privacy of visitors to its websites, as a result, we have developed
this website privacy policy. This website privacy policy applies only to the operation
of websites that directly link to this policy when you click on "privacy statement"
in the website footer.
Through this website Car Classifieds
will collect information that can identify you, such as your name, address, telephone
number, e-mail address, and other similar information ("Your Information") when
it is voluntarily submitted to us (however, see discussion below about "IP Addresses"
if you have a broadband connection). We will use Your Information to respond to
requests you may make of us, and from time to time, we may refer to Your Information
to better understand your needs and how we can improve our websites, products and
services. We may also use Your Information to contact you and/or provide you with
general product information (like information on certain upgrades) as well as information
about our products and services. We may also enhance or merge Your Information with
data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.
Any other information transferred by you in connection with your visit to this site
("Other Information" - that is, information that cannot be used to identify you)
may be included in databases owned and maintained by
CarClassifieds, Inc. or its agents.
CarClassifieds
retains all rights to these databases and the information contained in them. Other
Information we collect may include your IP Address and other information gathered
through our weblogs and cookies (see below).
This site may collect web log information. Web log information is gathered when
you visit one of our websites by the computer that hosts our website (called a "webserver").
The webserver automatically recognizes some non-personal information, such as the
date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the website you came
from, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer), the type of operating
system you are using (e.g., Windows 2000), and the domain name and address of your
Internet service provider (e.g., AOL).
This website may use a technology called a "cookie". A cookie is a piece of information
that our webserver sends to your computer (actually to your browser file) when you
access a website. Then when you come back our site will detect whether you have
one of our cookies on your computer. Our cookies help provide additional functionality
to the site and help us analyze site usage more accurately. For instance, our site
may set a cookie on your browser that keeps you from needing to remember and then
enter a password more than once during a visit to the site.
This website uses Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned
to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet.
Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet (it is a
"dynamic" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending
on your individual circumstance, it is possible that your IP Address that we collect,
or even perhaps a cookie we use, may contain information that could be deemed identifiable.
This is because with some broadband connections your IP Address doesn't change (it
is "static") and could be associated with your personal computer. We use your IP
address to report aggregate information on use and to help improve the website.
You should be aware that this site is not intended for, or designed to attract,
individuals under the age of 18. We do not collect personally identifiable information
from any person we actually know is an individual under the age of 18.
Areas of this website that collect Your Information use industry standard secure
socket layer encryption (SSL); however, to take advantage of this your browser must
support encryption protection (found in Internet Explorer release 3.0 and above).
We may share Your Information with agents, contractors or partners of
CarClassifieds, Inc. in connection
with services that these individuals or entities perform for, or with,
CarClassifieds, Inc. These agents,
contractors or partners are restricted from using this data in any way other than
to provide services for car sales, or services for the collaboration in which they and
CarClassifieds are engaged (for example,
some of our products are developed and marketed through joint agreements with other
companies). We may, for example, provide your information to agents, contractors
or partners for hosting our databases, for data processing services, or so that
they can mail you information that you requested.
CarClassifieds,
Inc. reserves the right to share Your Information to respond to duly authorized
information requests of governmental authorities or where required by law. In exceptionally
rare circumstances where national, state or company security is at issue (such as
with the World Trade Center terrorist act in September, 2001), CarClassifieds, Inc. reserves the
right to share our entire database of visitors and customers with appropriate governmental
authorities.

We may also provide Your Information to a third party in connection with the sale,
assignment, or other transfer of the business of this website to which the information
relates, in which case we will require any such buyer to agree to treat Your Information
in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
