Data Protection and
Privacy Policy
Global Network Technologies are committed to safeguarding your privacy online.
Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information
will be treated as you make full use of the Global Network Technologies Online
site. This policy may change from time to time so please check back
periodically.
This policy will let you know:What personally identifiable
information is collected from you
The Global Network Technologies Online Site 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, town, 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 listing 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 - you have a username and are able to take full advantage of the
many offerings of the Global Network Technologies Online Site.
In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other
times, including (but not limited to) when you place listings or take advantage
of the other features of the Global Network Technologies Online Site. If
you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Every page
within the Global Network Technologies Online Site includes a link to this
Privacy Policy.
What cookies are and how they are used
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, the
Global Network Technologies Online Site may use cookies to store and sometimes
track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is
sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.
Several features of the Global Network Technologies Online Site require that you
accept cookies in order to work properly. (See "What choices are available
to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information" for more
information on cookies.)
Generally, we use cookies for the following
purposes:
(1) To identify and label all "new"
listings since your last visit to the site.
(2) Optionally to permanently save your password on your computer so you
don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.
(3) To enable you to "checklist" listings that you want to mark for future
retrieval and viewing.
Advertising networks that serve listings onto the Global Network
Technologies Online Site may also use their own cookies.
The Global Network Technologies Online Site may
also collect IP addresses for system administration, security and to report
aggregate information to our advertisers.
How your information is used
The primary goal of the Global Network Technologies Online Site in collecting
personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience
and to assist your navigation throughout the site.
Who is collecting your information
When you are asked for personal information on the Global Network Technologies
Online Site, you are sharing that information with the Global Network
Technologies Online Site 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 Global Network Technologies
Online Site. For example, when you enter personal information on the
listing posting form, this information will generally be included in your
listing, unless specifically stated otherwise.
With whom your information may be shared
As a general rule, will not disclose any of your personally identifiable
information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances,
such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the
circumstances described below. 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.
We may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating the Terms of Service of
the or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or
unintentionally) the rights or property of the , other users of the , or anyone
else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose or access account
information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for
administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service,
and improve our products and services.
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 Global Network Technologies Online Site, 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 Global Network
Technologies Online Site that require registration in order to participate.
These services include the identification of new listings that have been posted
since your last visit, auto-fill-in of the logon form, and the Checklist
feature. You can still use most of the features of the Global Network
Technologies Online Site even if you do not accept cookies.
Global Network Technologies 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. If you do not wish to allow your data to be
shared, you can choose not to use a particular service.
How you can access, update or delete your information
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 Global Network Technologies Online Site, your
information will stay with you until or unless you click on the "Logoff" link,
which is accessible from within the "My Profile" screen.
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 Global Network Technologies Online Site or
other authorized personnel of the , 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. Global
Network Technologies will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited
phone call or in an unsolicited email. As an extra security precaution,
you may want to logoff once you have completed a session in the Global Network
Technologies Online Site. This is to ensure that others cannot access your
personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone
else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
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, 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 protects children's privacy
Global Network Technologies is a general audience web site. Children
should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to
anyone online. Global Network Technologies 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, 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 listings 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.
