- A
Special Note About Children.
Children are not eligible to use our services and we ask
that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any
personal information to us. If you are a minor, you can

or guardians.
Information We Collect.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is
to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized
experience. This allows us to provide services and
features that most likely meet your needs, and to
customize our service to make your experience easier.
Under
some circumstances we may require some additional
financial information, such as, but not limited to: if
you are registering using an email account at a free
email service, or registering to sell on our site. We
use your financial information, including credit card
information to verify your name, address, and other
information, as well as to bill you for your use of our
services.
We
automatically track certain information based upon your
behavior on our site. We use this information to do
internal research on our users' demographics, interests,
and behavior to better understand and serve you and our
community. This information may include the URL that you
just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not),
which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our
site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP
address.
We use
data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain
pages of our site. "Cookies" are small files placed on
your hard drive that assist us in providing customized
services. We also offer certain features that are only
available through the use of a "cookie". We also use
cookies to allow you to enter your password less
frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us
provide information which is targeted to your interests.
Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they
are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the
end of a session. You are always free to decline our
cookies if your browser permits, although in that case
you may not be able to use certain features on our site
and you may be required to reenter your password more
frequently during a session.
Additionally, you may encounter "cookies" or other
similar devices on certain pages of our site that are
placed by third parties. For example, if you view a web
page created by a user, there may be a "cookie" placed
within that web page. We do not control the use of
cookies by third parties.
If you
choose to bid, buy or sell on our site, we collect
information about your bidding, buying and selling
behavior. We also collect other users' comments about
you in our feedback area.
If you
establish a credit account with us to pay the fees we
charge, we collect some additional information,
including a billing address, a credit card number and a
credit card expiration date and tracking information
from checks or money orders.
If you
choose to post messages in our Cafés, chat rooms or
other message areas or leave feedback for other users,
we will collect that information you provide to us.
If you
send us personal correspondence, such as emails or
letters, or if other users or third parties send us
correspondence about your activities or postings on the
Site, we may collect such information into a file
specific to you.
If you
register for GoddessyRx.com on another web site or use a
web site providing a service for GoddessyRx.com or a web
site that helps facilitate your activity on
GoddessyRx.com, that web site may provide personal
information about you and your transactions back to
GoddessyRx.com.
For a
chart showing what information we collect from or about
you, and who has access to that information, please see
the Appendix.
- Our Use
of Your Information.
We use information in the file we maintain about you,
and other information we obtain from your current and
past activities on the Site, to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. At
times, we may look across multiple users to identify
problems or resolve disputes, and in particular we may
examine your information to identify users using
multiple User IDs or aliases.
If you
choose to list an item for sale on our site or open a
credit account, we use your address and billing
information to bill you and provide associated support.
You
agree that we may use personally identifiable
information about you to improve our marketing and
promotional efforts, to analyze site usage, improve our
content and product offerings, and customize our site's
content, layout, and services. These uses improve our
site and better tailor it to meet your needs.
You
agree that we may use your information to contact you
and deliver information to you that, in some cases, are
targeted to your interests, such as targeted banner
advertisements, administrative notices, product
offerings, and communications relevant to your use of
the Site. By accepting the User Agreement and Privacy
Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information.
If you do not wish to receive these communications, we
encourage you to opt out of the receipt of certain
communications on the notification page. You may make
changes to your notification preferences at any time.
- Our
Disclosure of Your Information.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot
ensure that all of your private communications and other
personally identifiable information will never be
disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this
Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the
foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to
the government or third parties under certain
circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications, or users
may abuse or misuse your information that they collect
from our Site. Therefore, although we use industry
standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not
promise, and you should not expect, that your personally
identifiable information or private communications will
always remain private.
As a
matter of policy, we do not
sell or rent any personally identifiable information
about you to any third party. However, the following
describes some of the ways that your personally
identifiable information may be disclosed.
GoddessyRx.com Goddessy Community.
Throughout the Site, you are identified by your User ID.
If you select your email address as your User ID you
will disclose your email address to other users and
third parties. As a result, other users and third
parties might send you unsolicited email and be able to
personally identify all of your public activities on the
Site. Although our pages are coded with robot exclusion
headers, others may illegally attempt to automatically
collect your email address from our site. We describe
how to change your User ID below in Section 8. Even if
your User ID is not your email address, your User ID can
be used to identify you and your activities throughout
the Site. Other people can see your bids, items that you
have purchased in the past, your feedback rating and
associated comments, your postings on the Site, and so
on. We also provide a number of ways to allow other
users to find out more about you and your site
activities, such as our feature that allows users to
quickly see all of the items you are offering at the
time. If you are involved in a transaction, we have a
feature that allows other users to view your email
address and obtain your contact information.
External Service Providers.
There are a number of services offered by external
service providers that help you use our Site (e.g.,
co-branded sites, listing agents, escrow,
authentication, mediation). If you choose to use these
optional services, disclose information to the external
service providers, and/or grant them permission to
collect information about you, then their use of your
information is governed by their privacy policy. We may,
for your convenience, provide some of your personally
identifiable information to the external service
provider offering such services. However, before we
disclose your personally identifiable information to an
external service provider, you will see what data is
about to be sent and have the ability to approve the
disclosure. To prevent our disclosure of your personally
identifiable information to an external service
provider, you can decline such disclosures or simply not
use their services. Because we do not control the
privacy practices of these third parties, you should
evaluate their practices before deciding to use their
services. Users who register on a GoddessyRx.com
Goddessy co-branded web site (for example,
CompuServe, AOL.com, and AOL) grant Goddessy
permission to pass your email address back to that
co-branded web site and affiliated web sites. The use of
such information by the co-brand and affiliated web
sites is limited by their applicable privacy policies.
Internal Service Providers. We may use internal
service providers to facilitate our services (e.g.,
search, discussion boards, surveys) and therefore we may
provide some of your personally identifiable information
directly to them. In some instances, the internal
service provider may collect information directly from
you (such as the situation where we ask a internal
service provider to conduct a survey for us). In these
cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the
internal service provider, and all information
disclosures you make will be strictly optional. In all
cases, these internal service providers' use of
information we supply them is restricted by
confidentiality agreements. If you provide additional
information to an internal service provider directly,
then their use of your information is governed by their
applicable privacy policy.
Other
Corporate Entities. We share much of our data,
including personally identifiable information about you,
with our subsidiaries and joint ventures that are
committed to serving your online trading needs and
related services, throughout the world. To the extent
that these entities have access to your information,
they will treat it at least as protectively as they
treat information they obtain from their other users.
Our subsidiaries and joint ventures follow privacy
practices no less protective of all users than our
practices described in this document, to the extent
allowed by applicable law. It is possible that
GoddessyRx.com Goddessy , its subsidiaries,
its joint ventures, or any combination of such, could
merge with or be acquired by another business entity.
Should such a combination occur, you should expect that
GoddessyRx.com Goddessy would share some or
all of your information in order to continue to provide
the service.
Legal
Requests. GoddessyRx.com Goddessy
cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as
other third parties to enforce laws, such as:
intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights. We
can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information
about you to law enforcement or other government
officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe
necessary or appropriate, in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may
expose us or you to legal liability. Further, we can
(and you authorize us to) disclose your User ID, name,
street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone
number, email, and company name to GoddessyRx.com
Goddessy participants as we in
our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in
connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual
property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful
activity.
- Your
Use of Other Users' Information.
In order to facilitate interaction among all
GoddessyRx.com Goddessy community members,
our service allows you limited access other users'
contact information. As a seller you have access to the
User ID, email address and other contact information of
the buyer or winning bidder(s), and as a buyer or
winning bidder you have access to the User ID, email
address and other contact information of the seller.
By
entering into our User Agreement, you agree that, with
respect to other users' personally identifiable
information that you obtain through the Site or through
an GoddessyRx.com Goddessy -related
communication or GoddessyRx.com -facilitated
transaction, GoddessyRx.com hereby grants to
you a license to use such information only for: (a)
GoddessyRx.com -related communications that
are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using
services offered through GoddessyRx.com and Goddessy
(e.g. escrow, insurance, shipping and fraud complaints),
and (c) any other purpose that such user expressly
agrees to after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s).
In all cases, you must give users an opportunity to
remove themselves from your database and a chance to
review what information you have collected about them.
In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined
in this Section, can you disclose personally
identifiable information about another user to any third
party without our consent and the consent of such other
user after adequate disclosure. Note that law
enforcement personnel, program participants, and other
rights holders are given different rights with respect
to information they access.
GoddessyRx.com and Goddessy and our users do
not tolerate spam. Therefore, without limiting the
foregoing, you are not licensed to add an GoddessyRx.com
and Goddessy user, even a user who has
purchased an item from you, to your mail list (email or
physical mail) without their express consent after
adequate disclosure. To report GoddessyRx.com
related spam to GoddessyRx.com , please send
an email to
sales@goddessyrx.com.
- Use of
Email Tools.
You may not use the Email This to a Friend service or
other email forwarding services that we offer to send
spam or otherwise send content that would violate our
User Agreement. We do not permanently store the email
messages or the email addresses.
If you
send and email using the Email This to a Friend
service to an email address that is not registered in
our community, we do not use that email addresses for
any purpose other than to send your email. We do not
rent or sell these email addresses. We generally discard
the email addresses some time after they have been used
to send your email.
- Control
of Your Password.
You are responsible for all actions taken with your User
ID and password, including fees. Therefore we do not
recommend that you disclose your GoddessyRx.com
password to any third parties. If you choose to share
your User ID and password or your information with third
parties to provide you additional services, you are
responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and
password and therefore you should review that third
party's privacy policy. If you lose control of your
password, you may lose substantial control over your
personally identifiable information and may be subject
to legally binding actions taken on your behalf.
Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any
reason, you should immediately change your password as
detailed in Section 8.
-
Reviewing and Changing Your Personally Identifiable
Information.
Following registration, you can review and change the
information you submitted during registration including:
Your User ID and email address. If you change your User

remove in some circumstances, such as to resolve
disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User

and legal constraints, including stored "back up"
systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of
your personally identifiable information will be
completely removed from our databases in response to
your requests.
- Other
Information Collectors.
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy
Policy, this document only addresses the use and
disclosure of information we collect from you. To the
extent that you disclose your information to other
parties, whether they are bidders, buyers or sellers on
our Site or other sites throughout the Internet,
different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of
the information you disclose to them. To the extent that
we use third party advertisers, they adhere to their own
privacy policies. Since GoddessyRx.com does
not control the privacy policies of third parties, you
are subject to the privacy policies of that third party.

your personal information to others.
