Introduction
The Abbey Group d.b.a. CHRISTMASLIGHTFINDER.COM (the “Company”) is committed to protecting your personally identifiable information, and we appreciate you choosing to do business with us. This page describes our privacy policy. By visiting Company’s website, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information Gathered By Company
We are the sole owner of the information collected on the site such as names and e-mail addresses. Information is collected by way of the on-line registration of an account and completion of display details. We do not permit anyone other than the owner or designated user of private displays to enter information in to our database. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others except as provided for herein. We receive and store any information you enter on our web site at CHRISTMASLIGHTFINDER.COM or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We may use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing our services, improving future services, improving our business, and communicating with you.
When visiting this site, the IP address you use to access the site will be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is used purely to analyze trends, obtain statistical data, administer the site, track users/members movement and gather broad demographic information for internal use. It is important to note that recorded IP addresses are not linked to or connected to personally identifiable information.
When you subscribe to or become a member of this website and/ or create a user account and/ or display listing on our site, any personal information you provide will be kept in our database. We may collect and store this information including, but not limited to:
• Your name, address, phone number, email, images, location or any other information you may enter onto our site.
• Any personal information you may present or include in email or mailed correspondence to us
• Answers to surveys, polls or questionnaires, or information entered for promotions or contests whether on this site or through our social media channels
We may also receive and store certain types of information when you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we may use “cookies” to obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Company. To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Company if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of any e-mail message you receive from Company. We may also receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
Use of Personal Information
The Company will use Your personal information for the following purposes:
- To create and publicly post your display listing, including any media that you upload with your listing
- To provide support for the Service;
- To conduct user surveys;
- To send emails, if opted in.
- To advise You of changes to the Website or our policies; and
- To review, track and detect for fraud.
In addition, the Company reserves the right to use Your information for any lawful purpose, including but not limited to, the use of de-identified personal information for Company’s own research and marketing purposes.
All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. When you delete your personal information and/or display, it will be removed from the viewable area of the website; however, it may remain in our system backups for up to 30 days before being deleted completely.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable us to recognize your browser and to provide certain features and improve our business.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Company’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. Blocking or rejecting our cookies may prevent you from using the full services provided by Company’s website
Information Sharing
We take our customers’ privacy very seriously. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we never share or sell it to others. We may, however, share customer information only with reputable corporate partners in order to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include but are not limited to fulfilling purchases, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from member/user lists, analyzing data, providing marketing or website assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), providing technical support, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access only to the personal information needed to perform their functions.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that Company, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Cooperation with Law Enforcement
We will cooperate with law enforcement, private-party litigants, and others seeking information about our end users to the extent required by applicable law. Examples of such cooperation include compliance with discovery requests, subpoenas, court orders and writs.
Information Security
We make every effort, within reason, to protect the security of the information you provide on this website. Any purchases that may be made directly from Company for registrations, donations, products or services will be processed through a third party processor that complies with official PCI Security Standards for your protection.
Third Party Advertisers And Links to Other Websites
We may include links on this site for your use and reference. We are not responsible for the privacy or security policies on these websites. You should be aware that the privacy policies of these sites may differ from our own.
Our site may also include third-party advertising. These third-party advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or “serve”) the advertisements that appear on our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy and/or security practices.
