COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The information we gather from members and users enables us to provide the Services to you, process your requests for products and video games, provide information and advertising that is tailored to your individual needs, communicate with you, and improve our Services.

We receive and store any information that you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. The type of Personal Information collected includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, age, and products you own or are requesting. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as linking you to other members; sending products and video games; processing payments; responding to your requests for certain products and services; customizing the advertising and content you see; and communicating with you about specials and new products.

We do not collect any credit card or banking information, and do not store such information on our systems. We provide you the possibility to pay for our services through external payment processors, such as Paypal and Cybersource. Credit card, banking, or account information that you provide to these processors is not shared with Goozex. We only receive confirmation for each payment and the data necessary to process the order.

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website or Services. Goozex automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including, but not limited to, your IP address, the browser you are using, Goozex cookie information, and the page you requested.

The Goozex Services automatically collect usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to our site(s), the pages and content accessed, the products and video games requested, offered, traded, reviewed, searched, bought or sold. Goozex uses this data in aggregate form, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners and customers about how our users, collectively, use the Goozex Services. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners and customers also understand how and how often people use the Goozex Services. Goozex never discloses aggregate information to a partner or a customer in a manner that would identify you personally, without your explicit permission.


COOKIES

Cookies are small files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive to store your session information, help analyze our web page flow, customize our services, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety.

Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of our Web site's most attractive features and you may not be able to access the Goozex Services if your cookies are not activated.


USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Collecting Personal Information about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. We may on occasion share your Personal Information in certain limited circumstances:

  • Limited Personal Information, such as your name and address, will be provided to other Goozex members to enable them to send you the products and/or video games you have requested.
  • We employ other companies and people ("Agents") to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Examples include, but are not limited to, sending postal mail, sending email, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. Goozex's Agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
  • Promotional Offers: We may send offers to certain users on behalf of other businesses. However, when we do so, we do not give the other business your name, address or email. If you do not wish to receive these offers, you will be able to unsubscribe to them.
  • Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Goozex, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiror of Goozex may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.
  • Protection of Goozex and Others: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Goozex, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Your Goozex account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to ensure unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We have implemented technology and security features to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorized access or improper use. While we try to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

You are able to add or update certain information on your account or on your public profile pages. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.

You can opt not to disclose information and discontinue your use of the Goozex Services at any time. You may request deletion of your Goozex account by visiting the account disable page (immediate disable) or by writing an email to remove@goozex.com (please allow 5 to 10 business days for processing).

Goozex use of email addresses

Goozex operates a strict anti-spam policy:
  • All email addresses collected by Goozex as part of the Services are confidential and never shared with third parties.

  • We do not send unsolicited emails. All emails sent by Goozex are strictly related to the business we conduct, and to any important announcement that we believe, in our own discretion, is of interest for our members to improve their overall experience on Goozex.com and its affiliate sites.

  • Some members may send emails or private messages to other members. This is an important communication tool among the Goozex member community and we encourage its use. However, Goozex does not allow any member to send to other members emails or private messages containing unsolicited advertising or other types of content not related to the usage of services on Goozex.com and its affiliate sites.

  • As a Goozex member, you can always disable your account, and this will stop Goozex from sending you any emails related to updates on the site and transaction activity. To disable your account, visit the account disable page (immediate disable) or write an email to remove@goozex.com (please allow 5 to 10 business days for processing) with your request.

  • As a Goozex member, you can enable or disable receiving the monthly newsletter email by editing your preferences at any time. You can find the preferences under your "Account" page.

  • As a Goozex member, you can enable or disable receiving forum notifications by editing your forum preferences at any time. You can find the preferences in your forum profile.


Use of the Services

In addition, e-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the Services may not:
  • Use or contain invalid or forged headers;
  • Use or contain invalid or non-existent domain names;
  • Employ any technique to otherwise misrepresent, hide or obscure any information in identifying the point of origin or the transmission path;
  • Use other means of deceptive addressing;
  • Use a third party's internet domain name, or be relayed from or through a third party's equipment, without permission of the third party;
  • Cause the uploading, posting, emailing, or transmitting the same message, URL, or post multiple times.
  • Contain false or misleading information in the subject line or otherwise contain false or misleading content;
  • Fail to comply with industry technical standards; or
  • Otherwise violate the applicable Terms of Use for the Services.
Goozex does not authorize the harvesting, mining or collection of e-mail addresses or other information from or through the Services. Goozex does not permit or authorize others to use the Services to collect, compile or obtain any information about Goozex's customers or subscribers, including but not limited to subscriber e-mail addresses, which are Goozex's confidential and proprietary information. Use of the Services is also subject to the applicable Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Goozex does not permit or authorize any attempt to use the Services in a manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair any aspect of any of the Services, or that could interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of any Service.

If Goozex believes that unauthorized or improper use is being made of any Service, it may, without notice, take such action as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including blocking messages from a particular internet domain, mail server or IP address. Goozex may immediately terminate any account on any Service which it determines, in its sole discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise connected with any e-mail that violates this policy.

Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit or send e-mail to, or through, the Services. Failure to enforce this policy in every instance does not amount to a waiver of Goozex's rights.

Unauthorized use of the Services in connection with the transmission of unsolicited e-mail, including the transmission of e-mail in violation of this policy, may result in civil, criminal, or administrative penalties against the sender and those assisting the sender.

If you believe you have received any spam from either Goozex, a Goozex member, or someone behaving under the identity of Goozex, please let us know and send a complaint including the unsolicited email to abuse@goozex.com.
