Privacy Statement

INTRODUCTION

Sold IT Live understands and respects your concerns about privacy. At the same time, we do ask that you provide information about yourself in order to register to use Sold IT Live's services, for us to understand your needs better and to make your experience at Sold IT Live more valuable to you. We created this Privacy Policy to provide you with notice of what information Sold IT Live may collect, how such information may be used or shared with third parties, and how such information relates to the operation of the Site. This Privacy Policy is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms") posted on the Site, including the provisions regarding change or modification of this Privacy Policy and other policies as set forth in the Terms. You are responsible for checking this page periodically for changes and updates to the Privacy Policy. Your use of the Site following any posted changes to the Privacy Policy will be deemed an acceptance of such changes. This Privacy Policy is part of, and incorporated into, the Terms.

The Site is not intended for use by persons under the age of thirteen. Individuals who are under the age of thirteen are expressly prohibited from submitting to Sold IT Live or posting to the Site any personally identifiable information about themselves. Kids under 13: Do not send any information about yourself to us--including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address.

THIS WEBSITE SPECIFICALLY DENIES ACCESS TO ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT IS COVERED BY THE CHILD ONLINE PRIVACY ACT (COPA) OF 1998. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as possible.

By providing any personal information to this Site, you fully understand, acknowledge and consent to the collection and processing of such information in the United States and/or any other country.

This Privacy Policy explains:

1. What personally identifiable information Sold IT Live collects from you, and how Sold IT Live uses the information.

Sold IT Live collects and stores personal information in several ways at different parts of our Site. This information may include your legal name, email address, age, gender, address, telephone number(s), areas of interest, financial information, User ID, User Password and other self-identifying information. We collect this information in order to provide you with our services more easily, and in a more personalized manner.

We may make message boards and discussion forums available to you. If you choose to voluntarily disclose certain information on any such public area of the Site, this Privacy Policy will not cover such disclosure of information. We urge exercising caution when disclosing information on public message boards or discussion forums.

Sold IT Live also may request certain information using online order forms for products and services. On the order forms, we may collect contact information, financial information, demographic information, method of payment and, if applicable, a credit or debit card number. We may also collect information about you in surveys or for sweepstakes and contests on the Site and information about the searches you perform and the pages you visit on the Site. Sold IT Live may also monitor, on an anonymous aggregate basis, patterns of use in connection with emails that it sends out, including which links are clicked on in our email communications, so that we may use such information to better personalize the content of the Site and our mailings for our users. All such information will be protected in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We may also automatically collect your Internet Protocol address to help diagnose problems and for system administration. Sold IT Live reserves the right to request any additional information necessary to establish and maintain your account for use of the Site.

Sold IT Live uses the information collected from you in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Information we collect is used to customize your experience at our Site. We also show you content that we think will be interesting to you, and display content according to the preferences you indicate while on our Site. Sold IT Live may use your information to send you promotional materials about Sold IT Live and its business associates. We will also use your information to contact you, if necessary.

2. With whom your information may be shared.

Sold IT Live will not sell, rent or barter your personal information other than to its business associates as set forth herein. However, we may from time to time aggregate statistical information regarding our customers, traffic patterns and site usage, or sell our research, which may contain aggregate information. In addition, we may report aggregate information to our advertisers. Such aggregate information will not individually identify any user.

In order to provide you with co-branded services, and to improve our features, we will sometimes share your information with our business associates.

We reserve the right to disclose any information if such action is necessary (a) to conform to the requirements of the law or to comply with legal process or subpoena served on Sold IT Live, (b) to protect and defend the legal rights or property of Sold IT Live, the Site, or its users, or (c) in an emergency, to protect the health and safety of its users or the general public. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement agencies for investigation.

It is possible that Sold IT Live, its subsidiaries, its joint ventures, or any combination of such, could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect that Sold IT Live would share some or all of your information in order to continue to provide the service. Notice of any such event (to the extent it occurs) will be posted on the Sold IT Live website, and we will either require that the new combined entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy or allow you to "opt-out" of receiving further information.

3. What choices you have regarding the collection, use and distribution of your information.

You may occasionally receive information about the products or services offered by Sold IT Live and the products and services of our business associates. Sold IT Live believes that these updates are interesting and informative. In the event you are requested to register, you may be given an opportunity to "opt in" to receive mailings from Sold IT Live and/or its business associates by "checking" a box in the registration form. (For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "business associates" includes third parties with whom Sold IT Live may have co-branding arrangements or some other business relationship or alliance.) If you submit a registration form with the box checked, you thereby consent to being placed on this mailing list. You may subsequently contact us to request to be removed from this list. In every update that we send, we may include an option to discontinue receipt of future updates. Sold IT Live reserves the right to limit any registrations on our Site to those who will accept our information and to those who will provide the requested information.

4. What cookies are, and how Sold IT Live uses them.

As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, Sold IT Live uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. All portions of the Site that prompt you to log in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. No other company has access to cookies placed on your computer by Sold IT Live unless you select the option, upon registering with the Site, to share user-information with Sold IT Live's business associates. We may use cookies technology to reduce the time required for you to submit your requests and for Sold IT Live to respond to such requests. Cookies will not be used by us to retrieve any information about you, or from your computer, that you have not voluntarily given to us. Cookies may also be placed on your computer when you link from the Site to our business associates' web sites or when you click banner ads provided on our Site. Cookies placed on your computer by third parties by or through the Site, if any, are not the responsibility of Sold IT Live and are not subject to the Terms. Please contact the third party placing these cookies to find out what information is collected and how it is used. You can usually edit your browser not to accept cookies, but the features of our Site may not function properly if you do not accept cookies.

5. How Sold IT Live protects your personal information.

For all our transactions, we employ reasonable and current Internet security methods and technologies. Where appropriate, we password protect, use encryption techniques and install firewalls. We strive to protect you. We encourage our participating service providers to adopt and honor their own consumer privacy policies. For all our efforts to safeguard your privacy, no system can be guaranteed. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, or that we transmit to you, or guarantee that it will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Once we receive your information, we use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

6. How you can access, update or delete your information.

As part of your use of the Site, you are responsible for maintaining and updating, as applicable, your account Registration Data with current, accurate and complete information.

Please be aware that Sold IT Live sponsors, advertisers, co-branded Web site or Web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you on their Web sites. The information practices of those parties are not covered by this privacy statement. Sold IT Live users should also be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas or bulletin boards, that information may be collected by others and may result in unsolicited messages from others.

Gathering of Information

Voluntary Submission
Sold IT Live does not collect personally identifying information about any individual Sold IT Live Web site user except when knowingly provided by such individual. For example, we will ask you for personal information, including financial information, when you register for our services.

Cookies
A cookie is a data file that certain Web sites write to your computer's hard drive when you visit such sites. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user identification code, that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. Sold IT Live uses cookies to track user traffic patterns throughout the Sold IT Live Web site and to remember your passwords and preferences so that you don't have to reset them each time you visit the Web site. We use this data on an anonymous basis and we do not correlate this information with personal data of any user. Business partners of Sold IT Live and vendors providing hosting and other services for Sold IT Live, as well as advertisers who contract directly with a third-party service to serve their advertisements, may set their own cookies which may collect similar anonymous information.

Most Web site browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to display a warning before accepting a cookie, or to refuse all cookies. However, if you choose to disable the receipt of cookies from our Web site, you may not be able to use certain features of the site.

Browser Level Information

Sold IT Live Web servers automatically collect information about a site user's IP address, browser type and the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Web site or not) and which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Web site or not) by reading this information from the user's browser (information provided by every user's browser). This information is collected in a database and used--in an aggregated, anonymous manner--in our internal analysis of traffic patterns within our Web site. This information is automatically logged by most Web sites. Sold IT Live also uses a third party to collect information, including through the use of web beacons.

Use of Information
Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our Web site.

To Target Content
To develop content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which areas of our Web site users prefer based upon traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each page or content area performs overall.

To Provide Interactive Communications From Sold IT Live
To enhance your experience we may provide you with interactive communications to the e-mail address that you provide to us. Such interactive communications are provided only to those users who have expressly provided us with their permission to receive them as part of their user profile.

From time to time we may provide e-mails highlighting new features, promotions or contests on the Web site to those users who have expressly provided us with their permission to send such communications as part of their user profile.

To Provide Communications From Third Parties
We respect the privacy of our users and shall not disclose or distribute our user list to any third party, nor shall we permit anyone else to do so. However, we do make available for rental our list of those registrants who have expressly provided us with their permission to receive third party information and offers as part of their user profile. In those cases, your personal information is not transferred to the third party.

Control of Your Information
Users may change their user profile to stop receiving marketing material from Sold IT Live or on behalf of external third party business partners. Users may choose to stop receiving such communications at any time by following instructions at the end of any e-mail.

Sharing of Information
When you are on an area of Sold IT Live and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Sold IT Live as well as business associates and vendors providing hosting and other services for Sold IT Live. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using that particular service. In addition, any personally identifiable information provided by our users as part of an advertiser promotion online may be provided directly to advertisers.

Aggregate, Anonymous Information With Advertisers
Sold IT Live derives a portion of its revenue from advertising, and sharing information is essential to keeping our services affordable to users. In order to attract and retain advertisers we use the aggregated, anonymous information that we gather (as well as information from third-party market researchers) to describe our services to business associates and to assist our advertisers and sponsors to better understand our audience. We do not disclose personally identifying information about our users to these parties.

As Necessary to Provide Services to You
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. In some instances, one of these companies may collect information directly from you (such as for credit card processing for purchase of articles). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the external service provider. In all cases, these companies are subject to agreements that require them to maintain the confidentiality of your information and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

As Required By Law
Sold IT Live may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Sold IT Live or to protect and defend the rights or property of Sold IT Live.

Security
Your information is stored on Sold IT Live's servers located in the United States. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy, including encryption, "firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

Individuals who are under the age of thirteen are expressly prohibited from submitting to Sold IT Live or posting to the site any personally identifiable information about themselves. Kids under 13: Do not send any information about yourself to us--including information such as your name, address, or e-mail address.
