Privacy Policy

Boliday’s Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you provide for our services, and help you make informed decisions when using Boliday. By using or accessing Boliday, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Collection of information

When you visit Boliday you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose, and Web Site use information collected by us as you interact with our Web Site.

When you register with Boliday, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your date of birth and other such information. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers located in the United States.

When you enter Boliday, we collect your browser type and IP address. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Boliday. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.

When you use Boliday, you may set up your personal profile, create listings, sell and/or buy, post requests, send messages, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or consult your selling or buying history. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You post User Content (as defined in the Boliday Terms of Use) on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users whom have access to your personal profile and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on Boliday is a violation of the Terms of Use and should be reported to privacy@Boliday.com.

If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Boliday stores this information to send this one-time invitation and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at info@Boliday.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

By using Boliday, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed with Boliday.

Use of information

When you register with Boliday, you create your own profile. Your profile information is displayed to people browsing and searching on the website. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Boliday that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by Boliday primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information.

Boliday may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if you have been outbid, or won an auction, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails, though Boliday reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Boliday may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for statistical purposes such as aggregating how many people are making use of certain promotions or looking for specific items.

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information to:

• provide the services and customer support you request; 
• resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems; 
• prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement;
• customize, measure and improve our services, content and advertising; 
• tell you about targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and
• compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties. 

Sharing of information

We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:

• We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.
• We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Boliday service or using the Boliday name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
• If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Boliday business were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use Boliday, certain information you post or share with third parties such as personal information, messages, or listings, may be shared with other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting messages, listings or other items, this information may become publicly available. Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to others, 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.

Cookies

We use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain of our pages to help analyze our web page flow; customize our services, content and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety.

A few important things you should know about cookies are that:

• We offer certain features that are available only through the use of cookies.
• We use cookies to help identify you and maintain your signed-in status.
• 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 doing so may interfere with your use of some of our sites or services.
• You may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites that we do not control.

External vendors

Boliday contains links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Boliday.

Boliday does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Third party advertising

Advertisements that appear on Boliday are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. Boliday does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on Boliday unless you choose to share it with them.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Boliday and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Changing or removing information

Access and control over most personal information on Boliday is readily available through the profile editing tools. Boliday users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on Boliday, however, (e.g., sending a personal message or providing feedback to another Boliday user), you cannot always remove such communications.

Generally, we will not manually modify your personal information because it is very difficult to verify your identity remotely. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Boliday User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Account protection

Boliday takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of Boliday Web Site, please contact us at privacy@Boliday.com.

Your password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters, and do not disclose your Boliday password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal 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 notify Boliday and change your password.

Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions

Your use of Boliday, and any disputes arising from it, is subject to this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Use and all of its dispute resolution provisions. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's new effective date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
