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

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.

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

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

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.
