ecoBorrow, LLC Privacy Policy

Last Modified August 3, 2009

Your privacy is critically important to us. ecoBorrow is fully committed to protecting your privacy and the private data that is shared with us. Since our service helps you lend items to other people and borrow theirs, we have to give other people information about you, and about things you own. Therefore, we want you to fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the use of the information we collect. All information we collect is kept confidential. We do not sell or share the personal data with any other organizations. This Privacy Notice describes what personal information may be collected by ecoBorrow and how such information is used by ecoBorrow. This Privacy Notice applies only to information collected online through the Website. Any questions regarding this policy should be directed by email to support@ecoborrow.com.
 

1. NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION. Like most website operators, ecoBorrow collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. ecoBorrow’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how ecoBorrow’s visitors use its website and how they arrived there. From time to time, ecoBorrow may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Additionally, for each visitor to our Website, our server automatically recognizes IP Addresses. ecoBorrow does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

2. PERSONAL-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. Certain visitors to www.ecoborrow.com choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that ecoBorrow gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Since people are more confident about lending their property to people if they know more about them, we believe that the profile information you provide can help you to lend and borrow more easily. For example, an anonymous visitor can browse the Website without volunteering personal information to ecoBorrow. Those who engage in ecoBorrow and become a registered user are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, ecoBorrow collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with ecoBorrow. You may update, correct or verify any information you provided to ecoBorrow through the Website by logging in to your account on the Site and editing the information on your ‘Settings’ page. If you would like to cancel your account, you must log into your account and cancel from the ‘Settings’ page as well.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION. Any personally identifiable information you provide to ecoBorrow is used to enable us to deliver services you requested, respond to your questions about our offerings or contact you about our services and features. Your profile information is viewable and made available to those persons who are part of the groups in which you elect to participate and/or create. ecoBorrow does not sell, rent or trade any of the personal information collected from you to third parties. However, ecoBorrow may use third parties to provide specific services, such as fulfilling your requests and maintaining the Website. These third parties may have access to and use of the information collected from you in order to perform services for ecoBorrow.

4. MERGER. In the event that ecoBorrow sells or transfers a particular portion of its business assets, subscriber and other user information may be one of the business assets transferred as part of the transaction. If substantially all of the assets of ecoBorrow are acquired, subscriber and other user information may be transferred as part of the acquisition.

5. LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. ecoBorrow is obligated to submit to the courts in jurisdiction where we operate. We may therefore disclose specific information about you if necessary to do so by law or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to conform or comply with the law or is necessary to protect the users of our Website and/or related services, the Website or the public.

6. INFORMATION RELATED TO MINORS. To comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, Household Network does not knowingly collect or maintain information provided by children under the age of 13.

7. COOKIES. A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. ecoBorrow uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the Website, and their website access preferences. ecoBorrow visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our Site, with the drawback that certain features of ecoBorrow may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

8. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY NOTICE. Although most changes are likely to be minor, ecoBorrow may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at our sole discretion. ecoBorrow encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have an ecoBorrow account, you should also check your account dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

9. INFORMATION SECURITY. We limit access to personal information collected on the Website and utilize other technological and procedural safeguards when maintaining the Website. While we implement the above security measures on the Website, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
