You agree to and do hereby consent to our assignment, conveyance, or transfer (whether by contract, merger or operation of law) of rights to your Personal Information and other information, with or without notice to you and without your further consent.
Security
We take security seriously, and take robust commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal information from loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. However, we advise that no computer system or network can ever be 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or used with our Services.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by other users.
Notices; Opting Out
All notices – whether required by law or otherwise – will be sent to the email address used to register for the Services. You consent to receive such notices by email, and not by post. If you choose not receive these emails by “opting out”, you acknowledge that you not not receive important legal notices, and hereby waive any claims you may have against Bidddy on account of not receiving such notices.
Individuals under the Age of 18
We do not knowingly collect, solicit or maintain Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18, or knowingly allow such persons to register for our Services, with the exception of children 13 or older who have permission from a parent or guardian who has entered into an agreement with Bidddy on the child's behalf. If you are under 18, please do not send any Personal Information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) to us. No one under age 18 is allowed to provide any Personal Information to or on the Services. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information from our database. Please contact us at privacy@bidddy.com with the subject line "Privacy" if you have any concerns.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We are constantly working to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on our Website or as part of the Services, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
