Report Auction Fraud Privacy Policy

This is a legal document which sets out how Early Warning (UK) Ltd. handles data which identifies you. You should read it in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions, of which this Privacy Policy forms part. We believe strongly in protecting the privacy of our Users' personal information. This statement describes the privacy practices we apply for the Report Auction Fraud Service. As part of that, it also expresses our approach to complying with the data protection laws which apply in the United Kingdom . If we change this Privacy Policy, we will notify you of the changed document in the same way as we notify changes to the Terms and Conditions.

If you have questions regarding this statement, you should contact Early Warning (UK) Ltd's Customer Service Department.

The information we gather and track.

When you register for the Report Auction Fraud Service, you provide your name, your address, your contact details, your date of birth and your email address ("Registration Information").

We use small files known as "cookies" to enhance our Users' experience of the Report Auction Fraud Service as follows:

To hold Customers' login information, so that your User name is displayed when you visit Report Auction Fraud.Com.

To facilitate optimal use of the Report Auction Fraud Service by Users, by means of a temporary "session" cookie. These cookies disappear when the User’s browser session ends, or if the User clicks the "log off" text which appears in the Report Auction Fraud Service menu.

Third party cookies are used on some parts of the site. They are used for tracking the success of advertising campaigns. These cookies are normally permanent. Blocking of third party cookies by Users will not affect the functionality of the web site.

Sharing and use of information
The Report Auction Fraud database of on line auction fraudsters is held under the strict rules of the Data Protection Act. We hold and share data for the purposes of the prevention and detection of crime. This data is provided by Users of the Report Auction Fraud Service. This data is made available to all other Users of the Report Auction Fraud Service and law enforcement agencies worldwide.

We, and (where relevant) our credit card processing agents, will not supply your personal data to a third party for commercial exploitation - thus, you can rest assured that we will not sell the lists of our Customers' email addresses to a third party; and the only circumstances in which we will provide any of your personal data to a third party for non-commercial purposes are those contained in this Privacy Policy.

We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the Report Auction Fraud Service. The only legitimate way of making contact with another User of the Report Auction Fraud Service is for a User to contact Early Warning (UK) Ltd's Customer Service Department.

The Report Auction Fraud Service may include interactive advertising for other businesses. We may use, and provide to third parties, demographic data provided by Customers to target this advertising more appropriately.

We have regular and occasional emails, which Users can decide to take or not, according to their preferences. This option is selected on the application form.

There has been a lot of publicity about Credit Card security on the Internet so we decided to use Metacharge, Fastpay, Paypal, and NoChqs all of which operate a secure server, to process our credit card payments. They encrypt Users' credit or debit card information and authorise payment directly.

This means that Users' credit card details are never revealed to us. Metacharge, Fastpay, Paypal and NoChqs may transfer to, process and hold your credit card information in countries either within or outside the European Economic Area in connection with performing their duties.

We may share data supplied by you (or collected about you) with our subsidiaries and other companies in our group, but only for the purposes described in this policy.

If all of the assets which Early Warning (UK) Ltd. uses to operate its business (or substantially all of them) are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data we then hold to that party.

The personal information held by us is held on and processed by computers situated in the United Kingdom .

Security

We have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains each User’s responsibility:

to protect against unauthorised access to Your Details;

to protect against use by anyone else of the Report Auction Fraud Service through the machine that User uses while they are "logged on" to the Report Auction Fraud Service;

to log off or exit from the Report Auction Fraud Service when not using it, and to keep his/her password secret.

Opt-out policy

We provide Customers with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving e-mailed newsletters which they have previously opted to receive. This opt-out can be effected by clicking on a link provided on such emails.

Disclosure for legal reasons

We reserve the right to communicate such of Customers personal information as we hold to third parties which seek the disclosure of it, and which make a legally compliant request for its disclosure.

Data Retention Period

We will retain your personal data only as long as is necessary for the purposes to which you consent under the Report Auction Fraud Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy, or as is required by applicable law, and then we will delete it.
