What Personal Information is collected
Depending on how you use Directbidz, we may invite you to share private information with us. Whether you decide to give Directbidz information is entirely up to you, but keep in mind that if you hold back information, you may not be able to use some of our services.

When Personal Information is Collected
Directbidz  will ask you for information, including some personal information, if you use one of several services:

Becoming a registered user. In order to register, you need to share some personal information, such as your name and e-mail address. You do not have to be a registered user to visit our  web pages. But, you will have to register if you want to buy from us.

Making a purchase. When you buy something on Directbidz.com, you have to provide us with your  billing address, phone number, shipping address, and credit card information. By making a purchase, you become a registered user of Directbidz.com.

How We  Protect  Your Information
We understand that our customers trust us to protect their personal information. We take that assignment seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and technical safeguards to protect your personal information. For example:

We use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") authentication to guarantee the discretion of online transactions made on our site. SSL authentication and encryption of the information that you send to us over the Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception.

• We never display your full credit card number once it has been entered. We will only reveal the last four digits of your credit card for verification purposes.
• We urge you to protect your own privacy. We recommend that you do not share your password with anyone or share your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail.

Regrettably, despite all of our hard work, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. This reality is true of all Internet use. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk.

How Directbidz  Uses Your Personal Information
Directbidz  collects personal information primarily to contact you for account and promotional purposes.

How to Avoid Receiving Newsletters and Other Directbidz  Materials
Directbidz  use e-mail addresses to send out newsletters and other announcements with information about  Directbidz new products, gifts and specials. When you register, you can choose not to receive these announcements by opting-out of delivery. If you receive an e-mail and want to avoid further messages, look at the end of the email for instructions on how to remove yourself from the mailing list.

Who Views Your Personal Information
Directbidz shares your personal information with companies processing credit card payments, investigating fraudulent activity. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not disclose your personally identifiable information for other purposes.

Personal information may be disclosed if required by law.

Directbidz does not currently sell or license personal information. Before selling or licensing your personal information, we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.
