What Personal Information About Customers Does BuybackMadness.com Gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your selling experience at BuybackMadness.com. Here are the types of information
we gather:
- Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you
enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. Click
here to see examples of what we collect. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many
of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes
as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving
our stores, and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies,"
and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses
BuybackMadness.com. Click here to see examples of the information
we receive.
- E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting,
we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from BuybackMadness.com if your
computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to
lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary
messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail
from us, please adjust Your Account preferences
or email us at .
Email communications that you can expect from us are as follows:
Account emails: An email will be sent to you when you successfully set up an account, create a trade order and
when we have successfully checked in your trade. You will also receive an email when we have sent you payment for
your trade.
Sweepstakes/Promotions/Newsletter: You may receive emails when we conduct sweepstakes, promotions or produce trading newsletters.
- Refer-A-Friend: If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend/family member about our site,
we will ask you for your friend's/family member's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a
one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Buyback Madness stores this information for the sole purpose of sending
this one-time email [and tracking the success of our referral program]. Your friend may contact us at
to request that we remove this information from our database.
What About Cookies and Log Files?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard
drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser
and the storage of items in your Shipping Cart between visits.
- The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell
you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of BuybackMadness.com's
best features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
- Log Files As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files.
This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information,
which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around
the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data
to personally identifiable information.
Does BuybackMadness.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are
not in the business of selling it to others.
- Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.
Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments,
and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not
use it for other purposes.
- Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of
BuybackMadness.com customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not
give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such
offers, please adjust Your Account preferences.
- Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets.
In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely
event that Buyback Madness, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one
of the transferred assets. We will notify you of such a business transfer as stated in the "Changes to the Policy"
section below.
- Protection of BuybackMadness.com and Others: We release account and other personal
information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce
or apply our Conditions of Use
and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of BuybackMadness.com,
our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice
when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity
to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
- We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when
confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to
the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your
password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared
computer.

purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information. This list

in the "What Information Can I Access?" section above. When you update
information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
- If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust
Your Account preferences. (If you do not want
to receive Conditions of Use
and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices
will still govern your use of BuybackMadness.com, and it is your responsibility to review
them for changes.)
- The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell
you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, you may not be able to use some features of
BuybackMadness.com Buy or Credits and Notify Me if you do not use cookies.
