PRIVACY STATEMENT
Information Collection and Use
Sheriffsale.com LLC is committed to providing a safe and secure
environment for our users. We are the sole owners of the information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to
others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. We
collect information from our users when they complete the registration
form required for online bidding.
Registration
During registration a user is required to give their contact information.
This information is used to communicate with the user regarding
their account and to provide requested services. We also send the
user site and service announcement updates.
We request financial
information to be used for payment of registration purposes only.
If
you no longer wish to be a registered member of SheriffSale.com
and choose to terminate your membership, you may go to the "My
Account" page and request that we terminate your membership. If a
user discovers errors or a user's personally identifiable information
changes, the user may go to the "My Account" page and update the
membership record. Request to correct information will be processed
immediately. Users may also request that personal information be
corrected by emailing us at support@SheriffSale.com.
Sharing
We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When
the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide
these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these
services.
Links
SheriffSale.com contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
Sheriffsale.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web
site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by SheriffSale.com.
Surveys
From time-to-time SheriffSale.com will request information from users
via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and address), demographic information (such as
zip code, age level), and financial information (such as income
level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of SheriffSale.com.
Security
SheriffSale.com takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the website,
your information is protected both online and off-line. When our
registration form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
you are just 'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://
developer.netscape.com/tech/security/ssl/howitworks.html.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-
line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every
quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees
are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information
is protected.
If you have any questions about the security at our
website, you can send an email to info@SheriffSale.com.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on SheriffSale.com so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in
this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected.
