BIDCORP.COM
PRIVACY POLICY
We are publishing this policy to advise you what information we collect at this site and how we
intend to use that information. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy or
our site, please contact us at support@bidcorp.com or write to us via
postal mail at BidCorp.com, PO BOX 1284, Walled Lake, MI 48390, Attention: Privacy Director.
Does BidCorp.com, Inc. collect personal information about me when I access this website?
No. In general, you can visit BidCorp.com without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information.
Our web servers collect general information about each visit--such as the domain name of the originating
server and the type of browser--and aggregate this information with similar information from other site
visits to generate website logs. These logs show, for example, the number of visits within a specific
time frame and the average time spent on the site, as well as the frequency particular pages are viewed.
We use these web site logs to evaluate and improve our site. We may share this information with our
affiliates; or our advertisers or sponsors for the same purpose.
We do not collect information from web visits that is personally identifiable (such as email addresses),
and we do not attempt to link the information our servers collect to individual visitors.
What does BidCorp.com do with the personal information I voluntarily furnish by, for example,
registering with BidCorp.com or sending email to BidCorp.com?
We use this information for the purposes for which you furnish it to us. Where we request
personal information, our online forms indicate the purposes for which we intend to use your
personal information, and we will use the personal information you provide only for those purposes.
For example, we use the personal information (such as your name and e-mail address) when you
register at this site for fulfilling transactions and prizes and for providing you promotional
material regarding BidCorp.com and its affiliates. Similarly, if you send us an inquiry via
email, we use the information you provide to analyze and respond to your email.
If you do not express a preference in an online form, email or other communication with us,
we may include you on mailing lists for our products and services (including products and
services of our affiliates or their advertisers or sponsors) if we believe you might find
this information interesting or useful. If you would prefer not to be included on our lists,
please advise us at the time you submit the online form, email or other communication. You
may, of course, ask us to remove you from our mailing lists at any time.
We strongly urge you NOT to submit to us sensitive information, such as your Social Security
number or credit card information, unless it is absolutely necessary for the purposes of your
communication. Even though we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot
guarantee the security of information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.
Does BidCorp.com encourage minors to provide personal information?
No. We believe that minors should not submit personal information without the consent of their
parent or guardian.
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to prevent minors from voluntarily furnishing us this
information. Emails sent to us, for example, will automatically include the sender's return
email address. Also, a person will sometimes furnish us a home address so that we may send
him or her material in response to his or her request. In these situations, we do not know
whether or not the sender is a minor when deciding how to handle the information provided.
Who has access to the personal information I provide?
BidCorp.com employees and contractors will have access to the personal information we
collect or receive online if they require this information in order to perform their jobs.
These people are subject to obligations to BidCorp.com that can restrict dissemination
of the information to third parties. We have also established appropriate physical, electronic
and managerial practices aimed at protecting the information we collect online from unauthorized
access, maintaining data accuracy and ensuring the appropriate use of the information.
There are also circumstances in which we will share information with one of our affiliates or
others --such as other companies within the Bidcorp organization, joint venture partners,
suppliers, sponsors and advertisers--because we determine that the person is in a better
position to respond or it is important for that person to be aware of the information. If
you would prefer that we not furnish your information in this manner, please advise us in
advance. You should be aware, however, that this type of instruction may impair our ability
to properly respond to you or process the information you provide.
We do not otherwise distribute, sell, trade or license any information collected or received
online, including email lists.
Does this site use cookies?
Yes, we use cookies to recognize you and your access privileges on this site, to facilitate
the interaction between you and this site, and to track site usage. Please note, however,
that this site sets cookies only for BidCorp.com, and not for our advertisers, sponsors,
affiliates, or others. You may receive cookies from these other parties by virtue of accessing
their web sites, but we do not control these cookies.
You, of course, have the option of refusing to accept cookies from this or any other site by,
for example, changing your browser preferences or using commercially-available software. However,
if you refuse the cookies from on this site, you may find that some services do not function properly
or may be considerably slower.
"Cookies" are small bits of computer code that are transmitted to a user's computer when the user
accesses a web site, and then stored on the user's computer for future access by the cookie provider.
Cookies are part of the flow of information between a user's computer and web servers, and are widely
used on the Web for, among other things, customizing user interaction with web sites.
Does this policy apply to BidCorp.com's affiliates or other sites that are linked from this site?
No, this policy applies only to BidCorp.com and this site. As described above, we may share
information obtained from this site with our affiliates or others. While we expect that these
affiliates or others will respect your privacy in a manner consistent with our policies, we cannot
guarantee that they will do so.
