Information Collection and Use. |
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our
business activities, providing customer service and making available other services
to you and prospective members. Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. We use non-personally-identifiable information
including IP addresses and aggregate user data to analyze trends, to administer
the site, to track movement around the site and to gather demographic information
about our membership base as a whole.
If you choose to register with us we request certain basic information to enable
us to provide you with our services. For example, we ask you to provide your name,
age, mailing address and e-mail address. We store this information to save you time
and allow for easier use of our services. We also look at the items you list and
what you trade in order to help us provide you with better recommendations and trading
opportunities.
In order to facilitate member interaction, we display your username and, if you've
provided it, your image on our site. We use your email address to send notices related
to the service. Of course, the nature of our trading service requires disclosure
of your name and mailing address to members who agree to ship you their items.
You acknowledge and agree that any ratings, reviews, comments, feedback, suggestions,
pictures and other materials (collectively, the "Content") you contribute to the

TextforText takes your privacy very seriously. Be assured that TextforText does
not sell or rent your contact information to marketers. However, there are times
when it may be advantageous for TextforText to make certain personal information
about you available to companies that we have a strategic relationship with or that
perform work for us to provide products and services that we think will be of interest
to you.

|
Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information. |
|
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when
we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our
legal rights.

|
Security |

TextforText takes administrative, technical and physical precautions to protect
the information that is stored within our database. We restrict access to member
information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such
as our customer service personnel and technical staff. Please note, however, that
despite our reasonable precautions, unauthorized entry, hardware or software failure,
and other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time.
