4BestBid.com Privacy Policy

This policy was last updated on March 16, 2009

4BestBid has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our strong commitment to privacy. 4BestBid.com is deeply committed to respecting and protecting your right to privacy and takes your privacy seriously. We have very strict privacy policies and we strive to keep your personal information secure. To that end, we have prepared this privacy policy to disclose and describe our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.

Most of all, we value your privacy . We do not sell, rent, loan, or give your email address or other personal information to anybody and will never do so.

Collection of your Personal Information

You can visit many pages on our site without giving us any information about yourself. But we do need information to provide services that you request, and this privacy policy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete 4BestBid.com privacy policy below in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions.

  • This privacy policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when you are on our site, and when you use our services.

  • We pledge to hold all information you provide to us in absolute privacy.

  • We will NEVER sell or rent your name or personal information to any third party without your express permission.

  • We NEVER sell or rent our mailing list.

  • Only authorized employees may access your information.

All employees are required to adhere to our strict privacy policies and any employee who violates the privacy policy is subject to termination and other disciplinary measures, up to being criminally prosecuted for their violation.

Use of Your Personal Information

If you decide to become a member, you will receive a short series of orientation emails from 4BestBid.com. From time to time, members may receive notification of new services, changes to policies or price adjustments. We will not send you other email at the address you provide, except for infrequent communications to resolve issues that may arise with your own 4BestBid.com account. More routine announcements will be made in the 4BestBid Newsletter, rather than via email.

Our site uses cookies to save your username and password if you become a member and decide to use the "Remember Me" option. This means you don't have to re-enter these items each time you visit our site. You can always logout which will delete this cookie from your computer.

We may track and store geolocation information related to your IP address. This information may be used to provide you with the most relevant material, as well as allow for more effective communications.

Additionally, we use session variables to aid in the development of various features on the site. These session variables disappear after 20 minutes or when the user exits a browser. Thus, this information is not stored for any reason other than as indicated.

The user's contact information will also be used to send a newsletter if you are a member or subscribe to the newsletter. Special offers are sometimes sent to subscribers as well on behalf of third parties. But these third parties do not have access to your information since we alone send out the emails. However, all recipients of the newsletter may opt-out of receiving future newsletters or offers when so desired, and are given opportunity to opt-out of these emails at any time - at the bottom of each newsletter.

We may also use personal information in a manner that does not identify you specifically nor allow you to be contacted but does identify certain criteria about our users in general. For example, we may inform third parties about the number of registered users, number of unique visitors, and the pages most frequently browsed.

Aside from these uses of user information - and we have no knowledge of this information except at an anonymous level - we do not sell, nor plan to sell any user information to anyone.

Protection of Children's Personal Information

4BestBid.com is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
