Privacy Policy:

Last Update: June/12/2009

Best Biddy Corp. provides a collection of online resources, including but not limited to targeted bidding/auction system. The Best Biddy Corp. Privacy Policy applies to the use of the service including www.bestbiddy.com and other websites under www.bestbiddy.com (collectively “the site”).

Information Collected:

When you visit the Site, you provide us with two types of information:

Personal information that you knowingly choose to disclose, and that we collect; and

information about your use of the Site that we collect as you interact with the Site (Account information). If you create an account to help take advantage of the full range of services offered on the Site, we ask for and record personal information such as your name, phone number, mailing address and email address.

For both Consumer and Professional Accounts: We use your email address to send you notifications, updates and news, and to contact you both ourselves, and on behalf of other users (such as other users who send you messages or respond to a question you posted or regarding project bidding.) We may also use your email address to send you a message to verify your email address. If you forget your password, you can request us to send an email to your email address in order to reset your password.

For Professional Accounts only: We use your email address and phone numbers to send you notifications and updates both ourselves, and on behalf of other users, and for activity relating to your Professional Account (such as when users review or recommend your business or when a user posts a question related to your service expertise.) We may use your phone number to call you to verify that you are the owner or authorized representative of a business.

You may choose not to receive e-mail of these types by accessing the "Your Account Information" after you log on to the Site www.bestbiddy.com

Submissions. We store and may publicly display your submissions in order to help provide the Service. When we display your submissions, we do so together with your account name. The term “account name” means: (a) for Personal Accounts, your first username; and (b) for Business Accounts, your first name and last name, or your business name. The term "submissions" refers to the information that you submit or post to the Site for public display, such as business ratings, reviews, photos, recommendations, complaints, comments, responses to reviews, advice questions, advice responses and the information that you display as part of your account profile.

Feedback. If you contact us to provide feedback, register a complaint, or ask a question, we will record any personal information and other content that you provide in your communication so that we can effectively respond to your communication.

Personal messaging. In order to allow you to send and receive messages with other registered users of the Site, we record the messages that you send and receive using the Site's or the Service’s messaging features. When handling your personal information for purposes of the Service, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Best Biddy Corp. specified purposes. Our privacy practices apply to your messages only to the extent they are stored on Best Biddy Corp. systems. For example, once the persons or businesses to whom you’ve addressed your message have obtained your messages from Best Biddy Corp., they may use the contents of your messages without regard to Best Biddy Corp. privacy policy. We are not responsible for and do not control the transmission of information over public carrier facilities such as phone networks.

Activity. We record information relating to your use of the Site, such as the searches you undertake, the pages you view, your browser type, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp information. We use this type of information to help us administer the Site and provide Service to you. We also use this information in the aggregate (on an anonymous basis) to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the Site. We may share the results of this analysis (on an aggregated, anonymous basis) with third parties to help us provide or expand the Site or the Service. If we display advertising on the Site, then we may also use information about you in or derived from your Profile and User Content to display advertising to you that we believe is tailored to you specifically. This helps us provide our service to you and, we believe, provides you a more useful experience.

Cookies. We send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and improve the quality of our service. The term"cookies" refers to small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the Site. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them or they expire in accordance with their own terms). Persistent cookies can be removed by following your browser help file directions. If you choose to disable cookies, some areas of the Site may not work properly or at all.

Enforcement. We may use the information we collect in connection with your use of the Site (including your personal information) in order to investigate, enforce, and apply our Disclaimer, including this Privacy Policy.

Data Processing. By using Best Biddy Corp, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States/Canada or the region in which you reside.

Transfer of Information:

We may distribute your User Content to third parties to help promote or benefit the Site or the Service, as more fully described in the Disclaimer. The third parties may in turn publicly display or publish your submissions in connection with their own websites, media platforms and products or services. When we distribute your submissions to third parties, we typically include your account name (but not your personal information unless you include your personal information in your submissions).

We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the Site at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Best Biddy Corp., to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to provide messaging systems, to process payments for products or services, to conduct quality assurance testing, facilitate creation of accounts, provide technical and customer support, or provide specific services, such as synchronization of your contacts with other software applications. In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Best Biddy corp.-specified purposes.

We may share your personal information with our current or future affiliated companies, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy. If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Best Biddy Corp. business, or individual business units owned by Best Biddy Corp., were to change, then your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your User Content and other information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

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 Service or using the Best Biddy Corp. name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

We may disclose information in the aggregate to third parties relating to user behavior in connection with actual or prospective business relationships with those third parties, such as advertisers and content distributors. For example, we may disclose the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, advertising banners or business profiles.

Advertisements that may appear on Best Biddy Corp. 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”). 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. Best Biddy Corp. 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 Best Biddy Corp. unless you choose to share it with them. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Best Biddy Corp. and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Other Information:

You may choose to provide us with another person's e-mail address and name so that person may be invited to create an account on the Site and easily share reviews, ratings and other feedback on local service providers with you. We use this information to: (a) contact and, if necessary, remind that person about the invitation; and (b) identify when your friend sets up an account on the Site so that you may be setup as friends. By providing us with another person's e-mail address and name, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the person concerned to disclose their personal information to Best Biddy Corp. We may disclose such information if required to do so in order to comply with legal process, as described above.

The Site may contain links to other web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy policies of other sites they visit when they leave the Site. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Best Biddy Corp.

Controlling Personal Data:

To the extent you include personal information in your submissions (such as a photo of yourself), third parties may be able to identify you, associate you with your user account, and contact you. For Business Accounts, third parties can also associate you with your user account using the search feature on the Site, but only if the third party already knows your business name. Please do not include information in your submissions that you expect to keep private.

Please also note that the personal messages you send or receive using the Site's personal messaging feature are only private to the extent that you and the sender/recipient keep them private. For example, we do not have any control over whether a recipient of one of your personal messages publicly posts the contents of such a message.

As a registered Best Biddy Corp. user, you can modify some of your personal information and your privacy preferences.

You may request Best Biddy Corp. to close your account. Business Accounts may also choose to remove their business profile from display on the Site (this will result in the business details and all reviews, recommendations, complaints and associated feedback information for this business being removed from display on the Site). After your account is closed, your personal information that you provided when registering for the Site may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time, but will not be generally available to users of the Site. Note that other User Content that you’ve posted to the Site, such as reviews, recommendations, complaints, feedback, comments, questions and answers, will generally continue to be displayed on the Site.

If you make use of the communication features of the Service to share information with other individuals on the Site (e.g., sending a message to another Best Biddy Corp. user), you generally cannot remove such communications.

Security:

Best Biddy Corp. 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. Because email and other forms of communication (i.e. phone calls), we request that you not send private information to us by email, voice messages etc. If you have any questions about the security of the Site, please contact us at info@bestbiddy.com.
