Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are bidders, buyers or sellers on our system or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. To the degree that we use third party advertisers, those parties sustain their own privacy policies and practices. Since Iliamo.com does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy policies and practices of such third party.

3. How we use Your Information
The following describes how we use the personally identifiable information that we collect from you.
Communications -we may use any or several portions of your information to contact you via email, mail, or telephone in respect to matters involving your use and activity of the site such as bidding, selling, and posting to our lounge boards.

Automated Email - the email address you supply is used by our system to send automated email messages which are generated from the use of the site. These include registration confirmation, listing confirmations, bidding notifications, end of auction notices, personal auction reminders, suspension notices, and requests for additional contact information for another user.

Your User ID and email address are used to track your current and previous activity on the site as well as assist us in resolving any problems you may be having within the site, or to aid us in enforcing our User Agreement.

4. Automatic User Recognition
This section explains how our system "Remembers You" automatically, after entering in your User Id only once per session on our site.

  1. Once you have entered in your User Id anywhere on our site that requires such information (Bidding, Selling, Requesting User Information etc.) our program will recognize your User Id, and therefore "follow you" from page to page within our site. This will eliminate the need for you to continually enter your UserId elsewhere within the site. You will however, always be required to enter your password to perform any type of registered user functions. This recognition will take place "behind the screens" and only your UserId will become visible in any areas where UserId is required. You will still be required to enter your Password in all areas that are only available to Registered Users.
  2. Your User Id will be saved using a "Cookie" once you enter it. This way, after you enter your User ID once, you will not have to enter it again any time again during that session. The password field will remain blank at all times for your protection and you will be required to enter your password every time you would like to perform any function that is only available to registered users.
  3. In order for our System to remember your UserId while you are using our site, your browser must be set to "Accept Cookies". If your browser is set to Not Accept Cookies, then our system will be unable to remember your User Id.

5. How we Disclose Your Information
At no time do we sell, rent, or lease to any third party, your personally identifiable information.
In regard to section 1-1 of this Privacy policy, should you elect not to choose a unique UserID, and therefore have your email address be displayed as your UserID, your email address will be readily visible to others, including third parties that may be browsing or viewing the site. You may change your UserID so that your email address is no longer openly visible.

Requesting additional contact information
Registered users may request additional contact information about each other, which includes your name, contact phone number, and company name as provided by you during the registration process. Such requested information is sent to the user making the request via email. At the time such request is made, you will be automatically sent an email that displays the additional contact information of the user that has made the request for such information about you.

Your selling, feedback, and posting activity
Others to view your selling, posting or feedback profile activity throughout the site can use your UserId or your email address. This includes items you are currently selling, or have sold, auctions in which you have currently, or previously bid on, feedback comments left about you, your feedback rating, and posts you have made in any public forum on our site.

Because of potential circumstances outside of our control, we are unable to guarantee, or make promise that your information will remain private. We do however use industry standard measures to help safeguard your information and privacy.
