ETRACTORCONNECT PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT

eTractorConnect.com is 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 eTractorConnect.com. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.

What personally identifiable information is collected from you

eTractorConnect.com 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 city, state, and telephone number. This information is used solely to assist you in navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms (such as the Posting Ad form) with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to eTractorConnect.com. You have a username and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings of eTractorConnect.com.

In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you place ads or take advantage of the other features of eTractorConnect.com. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Every page within eTractorConnect.com includes a link to this Privacy Policy.



How your information is used

The primary goal of eTractorConnect.com in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience and to assist your navigation throughout eTractorConnect.com.



Who is collecting your information

When you are asked for personal information on eTractorConnect.com, you are sharing that information with eTractorConnect.com 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 eTractorConnect.com. For example, when you enter personal information on the post ad form, this information will generally be included in your ad, unless specifically stated otherwise.



With whom your information may be shared

As a general rule, eTractorConnect.com 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.

eTractorConnect.com 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 eTractorConnect.com or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of eTractorConnect.com, other users of eTractorConnect.com, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. eTractorConnect.com 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 eTractorConnect.com, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.

eTractorConnect.com 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 "Contact 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 eTractorConnect.com, your information will stay with you until or unless you click on the "Logoff" link, which is accessible from within the "Contact 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.

Your Classifieds account can be deleted, but doing so will result in not being able to access any of the features of the program that require user registration.



The kind of security precautions that are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information

Other than the administrator of eTractorConnect.com or other authorized personnel of eTractorConnect.com, 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. eTractorConnect.com 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 eTractorConnect.com. 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, eTractorConnect.com 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 eTractorConnect.com protects children's privacy

eTractorConnect.com is a general audience web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. eTractorConnect.com 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, eTractorConnect.com 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 ads 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.
