This page sets forth the site terms and privacy policies of Lawn Mower Auctions.
I. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Lawn Mower Auctions has
relationships with other companies that we allow to place ads and
links on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to Lawn Mower
Auctions, ad server companies may collect information such as your
domain type, your IP address, and clickstream information.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving from Lawn Mower Auctions to another Web site. We encourage you to read the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites as their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.
II. ORDERS
If you purchase a product from one of the
companies Lawn Mower Auctions represents, they will request certain
personally identifiable information from you on their order form. You
must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping
address) and financial information (such as credit card number,
expiration date). Lawn Mower Auctions is not responsible for the site
terms or privacy policies of such other sites so review their site
terms and privacy policy before completing your order.
III. REGISTRATION FOR NEWSLETTER
If Lawn Mower
Auctions offers a newsletter then registration is required with Lawn
Mower Auctions, such as name and email address. We use this
information to contact you about the services on our site in which
you have expressed interest. We will never share this information
unless required to do so by law enforcement agencies, as stated below
in our privacy policy.
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally
Identifiable Information (PII).
Under no circumstances does
Lawn Mower Auctions request or collect sensitive PII such as an
Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic origin;
political, religious or philosophical beliefs or affiliations; trade
union membership or sex life.
B. Non-Personally
Identifiable Information (Non-PII).
When a consumer responds
to or views an Internet advertisement served by Lawn Mower Auctions
(such as through third-party Web sites or email solicitation) or
visits an advertiser's web site, we send a cookie and/or gif file
("Cookies") to assign an anonymous, unique identifier to
the end user's Internet browser. Cookies are small data files
commonly used on the Internet to help optimize and personalize the
Internet end user experience and identify repeat visitors to Web
sites.
Lawn Mower Auctions uses Cookies to obtain information
about the preferences of consumers and the services they select; and
also to optimize and personalize the Internet user's experience. If
the Internet user re-visits the advertiser's site directly, Lawn
Mower Auctions is able to continue to track the user's activities.
Like most standard Web site servers, we use log files to
collect Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet
service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and
date/time stamp. We use the information to analyze site usage,
administer the site, understand usage and navigation trends in
aggregate, and determine the relevance of content. This information,
however, is not linked to any personally identifiable
information.
We also may use Internet browsing and online
purchase data associated with an anonymous identifier to develop a
predictive statistical user profile of the end user's needs and
interests. Lawn Mower Auctions does not use Cookies or log files to
collect end users' names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone
numbers, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any other
information which can be used to identify a specific person. We may
match the IP address and user profile with email address data
obtained separately in order to better target campaigns to meet
user's interests, but will not share this information with third
parties.
Lawn Mower Auctions has relationships with other
companies that we allow to place ads and links on our Web pages.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving
to another web site. We encourage you to read the privacy statements
of these linked sites as their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that
allows advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic
information, such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the
non-identifiable profile data. Thus, there is no direct connection
between an end user's online choices and his or her personal
identity.
In some cases, Lawn Mower Auctions receives and
records partial email addresses of Internet users, only in
circumstances where the user voluntarily provided its identity and
contact information through the Advertiser's site or third-party
marketer's site. This partial email address does not enable Lawn
Mower Auctions to personally identify an Internet User nor is it
shared, sold, rented, or given away.
II. INFORMATION
SHARING
Lawn Mower Auctions may release account and any
other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to
respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the law; or protect
the rights, property, or safety of Lawn Mower Auctions or others.
This may include exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection.
III. CONSUMER CHOICE
AND ACCESS
A. Opting Out.
Some Cookies have an
"opt-out" option. This process does not remove Lawn Mower
Auctions's Cookie from your system; it simply replaces it with an
opt-out Cookie that does not contain any unique identifiers. If Lawn
Mower Auctions provides such a process it is detailed below.
Some
of Lawn Mower Auctions's Cookies do not have an "opt-out"
option, yet you still have the option of blocking the use of Cookies
by changing a setting in your Internet browser. Please see your
browser supplier's Web site for details on how to do this.
Lawn
Mower Auctions does not maintain a process for an individual consumer
to opt-out of Lawn Mower Auctions's Cookies.
B. Accessing
Consumer Information.
Because they are not directed towards
individual Internet users, most sites do not maintain a process for
an individual consumer to review and/or request changes to any PII
collected.
Except as provided below, Lawn Mower Auctions does
not maintain a process for an individual consumer to access his/her
PII.
IV. SECURITY
Lawn Mower Auctions employs
industry standard security measures to ensure the security of all
data. Any data that is stored on Lawn Mower Auctions's servers is
treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the
public. Lawn Mower Auctions allows access to this data only to those
employees or third parties who have a need to know such information
for the purpose of effectively delivering Lawn Mower Auctions's
products and services by means of user login and password
requirements.
No transmission of data over the Internet is
guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third
parties not under the control of Lawn Mower Auctions to intercept or
access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we
strive to protect your PII, Lawn Mower Auctions cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You
acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating with Lawn Mower
Auctions.
V. CONSENT AND CHANGES
Lawn Mower
Auctions may find it necessary or be legally obligated to update this
Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post those
changes on this page and update the effective date so that you are
always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise required by
law, modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect the privacy
of data collected by Lawn Mower Auctions prior to the effective date
of the policy change.
VI. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND SPAM
Lawn Mower Auctions is very sensitive to the issue of
children's privacy and makes every effort to protect the privacy of
children using the Internet. It is possible that Lawn Mower
Auctions's Web site, products, and services may may not be
appropriate for or directed at children. Children (persons under the
age of 18) are not eligible to do business with us and we do not
collect personal information from any person we actually know is
under the age of 13.
Lawn Mower Auctions is committed to
proper Internet practices and full compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act
of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701). It is our policy to prohibit the
sending of unsolicited or "Spam" e-mail by Lawn Mower
Auctions or any of our marketing partners.
Please note that
under the CAN-SPAM Act, an advertiser is required to provide an
opt-out mechanism for consumers to unsubscribe from future emails
about the advertiser. Although not required to by law, many email
marketers also include an opt-out mechanism to enable consumers to be
removed from their mailing list. This has caused some confusion for
consumers in opting out. The table below clarifies which opt-out
mechanism you should use for commercial emails.

VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
The
European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These
rules differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these
differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that
defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. Lawn Mower Auctions
adheres to the Safe Harbor principals. For more information see
www.export.gov/safeharbor.
