What personally identifiable information is collected
The elgobay.com web site 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. We also ask for your street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code, country, telephone number, fax number, company, and the URL of your web site. Although only fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration field are required. This information is used to assist you in navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter it.

We may from time to time send you information about your account at ElgoBay and update you on new products, happenings and improvements.
In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you register or take advantage of the other features of elgobay.com.

When you are asked for personal information on elgobay.com, you are sharing that information with elgobay.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 elgobay.com.
With whom your information may be shared
As a general rule, ElgoBay 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.
ElgoBay 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 ElgoBay or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of ElgoBay, other users of the ElgoBay, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. ElgoBay 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 the elgobay.com, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require registration.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies.

Once you have logged onto elgobay.com during a given session, wherever you go on elgobay.com, your information will stay with you until or unless you click on the "Logoff" link, which is accessible from the navigation bar or within the "My 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 elgobay.com account can be deleted at anytime, 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 elgobay.com or other authorized personnel of the ElgoBay web site, you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to prevent unauthorized access. We also use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to secure and protect your sensitive personal information while using elgobay.com.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. ElgoBay.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 elgobay.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. We also recommend that you change your password frequently (every three months) depending on how often you use it.
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, ElgoBay cannot ensure or warrant the security of all 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 ElgoBay protects children's privacy
ElgoBay is a general audience web site. We do not do any business with minors (under age 18). Minors should not register or bound themselves to any agreement at ElgoBay. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. Elgobay.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, ElgoBay 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, 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.
