At UsedBizStuff.com, we take your privacy
very seriously. This policy states what
happens to your personal information when
you use our Web sites. This policy does not
apply to the companies and websites that we
advertise or endorse. Please visit their Web
sites for their policy regarding how they
handle personal information.
What We Collect
When you use our sites we collect several
pieces of information including your name,
email address, phone number, your ad, your
feedback, discussions and posts to our
message boards, and where applicable
physical address information. Additionally, our servers
collect information when you view our site
or post an ad, including browser
information, referrer information,
timestamp, page URL, and your IP address. We
collect this information to analyze trends,
administer the site, improve site
performance and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use.
For all ads, we require a valid phone
number and email address. Paid ads require
all information necessary for billing
purposes including credit card information.
What Happens to Information We Collect
Primarily you can expect that your ad,
comments, feedback, and and specifically if
you include your phone number in any ad,
that will be
published for all the World Wide Web to see.
Most email addresses are hidden from public
view. However, any web user may responded
to your ad. Replying to your ad will disclose your
email address to those who respond to your
ad. We publish only to UsedBizStuff owned
and operated Websites.
We may
retain all correspondence whether made by
fax, email, or an online form. We may
aggregate, categorize, and analyze the
information received. Further, we may use
the ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques
contained in your correspondence to develop,
manufacture, and market products or
services.
Electronic information is kept on secured
networks. Printed and written information is
supervised or secured at all times. Although
we make a good faith effort to keep all
information secure, we cannot guarantee
complete security. All information is stored
indefinitely.
All of our billing is done though Authorize Net. Click here for their privacy policy.

Many search engines and other sites archive
or otherwise make available the content
published on our site. Presently, we allow
it so that people might find your ad more
readily. A good example would be results
posted by Google that may how your
advertisement based upon the content of your
advertisement.
What We Don't Do
Although we publish a website of ads that
make people's phone numbers and email
addresses publicly available, we do not make
or sell a simplified list of such
information. Further, we discourage the use
of number and address harvesters.
We do not make available for download nor
cause to download to the computers of users
of our sites, programs that collect
information about Web browsing habits or
cause unsolicited advertising such as
ad-ware, spy-ware, or browser hijacks.

personal information about you that is
maintained by UsedBizStuff.com is incorrect and
needs to be changed or deleted, please

Security
We have put in place electronic and
managerial procedures to safeguard and help
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data

while we strive to protect your personal

This
website contains chat room forums and
message boards. Please remember that any
information that is disclosed to any of
these, is public information and you should
exercise caution when deciding to disclose
your personal information.
What we recommend
We recommend a few ideas for safer buying
and selling.
1. Create and use an email address that is
not your primary address. Many sites offer
free email -- Hotmail, Yahoo!
2. Place in
your ad only the things that you want to be
public.
3. Do not use
an unlisted phone number.
4. Do not
reply to messages offering more than the
asking price.
5. Do not
send financial information to an unknown
individual or email address.
6. When in
doubt, rely on your instincts and don't do
it.
Cookies
We do not set or access cookies on your
