Cookies
We use "cookies" to store specific
information about you and track your visits to our site. It is not uncommon for
websites to use cookies to enhance identification of their users. A
"cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and
stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer's
hard drive only if you access our site using the computer. If you do not
de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same computer to access
our site, our web servers will be notified of your visit to our site and in
turn we may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage.
Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us to access your
registration information, publishing information or payment information so you
do not have to re-enter it; gather statistical information about usage by
users; research visiting patters and help target advertisements based on user
interests; assist our partners to track user visits to the site and process
orders; and track progress and participation in promotions.
You can determine if and how a cookie will be
accepted by configuring your browser's which is installed in the computer you
are using to access the site. If you desire, you can change those
configurations in your browser. By setting your preferences in the browser, you
can accept all cookies, you can be notified when a cookie is sent, or you can
reject all cookies. If you reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling
function in your browser, you may be required to re-enter your information on
our site more often and certain features of our site may be unavailable.
Minors
pusround.com and its contents are not intended to
be targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not intend to sell any of
our products or services to minors. However, we have no way of distinguishing
the age of individuals who access our website and so we carry out the same
privacy policy for individuals of all ages. If a minor has provided us with
personal information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or
guardian should contact us to remove the information.
Security Measures
We employ commercially reasonable security methods
to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use
of information. As a registered user, your registration information, publishing
information and payment information (if any) can be viewed and edited through
your account which is protected by password. We recommend that you do not
divulge your password to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share
a computer with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information
(e.g., user ID and password) on the computer. Remember to sign out of your
account and close your browser window when you have finished your session.
No data transmission over the internet or any
wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a result, while
we try to protect your information, no web site or company, including
ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee the security of any information
you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Any changes to this privacy policy will be
communicated through our posting an amended and restated privacy policy on our
site. Our posting the amended and restated privacy policy will make such new
privacy policy immediately effective. You agree that all collected information
(whether or not collected prior to or after the new policy became effective)
will be governed by the newest privacy policy then in effect.
Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal
Information
You can see, review and change most of your
personal information by signing on to pusround.com. 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. 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, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems, and assist with any investigation.
Disclaimers
We are not responsible for the privacy protection
methods of other websites who are linked to pusround.com.
Users’ Responsibilities in Regards to Privacy
Protection
As a registered user, you have to protect your
account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters as your password,
and do not disclose your pusround 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 pusround and change your password.
You should know your user ID is displayed
throughout pusround (and so available to the public), and is connected to all
of your pusround activity. Other people can see your bids, purchases, items
for sale, storefronts, feedback, ratings and associated comments. Notices sent
to other community members about suspicious activity and policy violations on
our sites refer to user IDs and specific items. So if you associate your name
with your user ID, the people to whom you have revealed your name will be able
to personally identify your pusround activities.

pusround.com welcomes your continuous input regarding our privacy policy or our services provided to you. You may send us your comments and responses by post to cs@pusround.com.
