What personally identifiable information is collected from you

The Trade Leads Directory collects information in several ways from different parts of our web site.

Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system will also ask for your street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code, country, telephone number, and the URL of your web site, although only fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration field are required. This information is used solely to assist you in navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms (such as the ad posting form) with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to Trade Leads Directory - you have a username and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings of the www.trade-leads-directory.com.

In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you place ads or take advantage of the other features of the Trade Leads Directory. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Every page within the Trade Leads Directory includes a link to this Privacy Policy.

Who is collecting your information

When you are asked for personal information on the Trade Leads Directory, you are sharing that information with the Trade Leads Directory alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. However, some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other users of the Trade Leads Directory. For example, when you enter personal information on the ad posting form, this information will generally be included in your ad, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Please see the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed information about how your personal information may be shared.

What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the Trade Leads Directory, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.

You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of the Trade Leads Directory that require registration in order to participate. You can still use most of the features of the Trade Leads Directory even if you do not accept cookies.

Trade Leads Directory does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer.

We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may edit or delete your user profile at any time by clicking on the "My Profile" link or graphic provided by the system once you are logged in. Once you have logged onto the system during a given session, wherever you go on the Trade Leads Directory, your information will stay with you.

If you are a previously registered user and you have lost or forgotten your password, you may obtain it by email by using our "Forgot Password" feature. Click the button on any login page to request that your password be emailed to you. We cannot provide your password by any other means.

The kind of security precautions that are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information

Other than the administrator of the Trade Leads Directory or other authorized personnel of Trade Leads Directory, you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.

We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Trade Leads Directory will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Trade Leads Directory cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

How Trade Leads Directory protects children's privacy

Trade Leads Directory is a general audience web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. Trade Leads Directory does not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, Trade Leads Directory will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13.

What else you should know about your online privacy

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example in ads that you post or through email - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
