Militaria.Name does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, the following describes some of the ways your personal information may be disclosed, and by agreeing to our User Agreement and Privacy Policy you agree that your personal information may be disclosed in the following ways.

The Militaria.Name Community
You are identified on Militaria.Name by your User ID, other people can see items you are bidding on, have won or purchased in the past, have sold in the past, items you are currently selling, your ratings and comments received from other users and ratings and comments you have left to other users, your posts in the forums and so on unless you have chosen to keep this information private. Your email address and contact information is available to your trading partners (members you have completed a transaction with). Note: members you have completed a transaction with can request to exchange contact details with you (name, address and phone numbers).

Legal Requests
Militaria.Name will disclose any information about you only when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our User Agreement; or protect intellectual property and other rights, property, or safety of Militaria.Name, our users, or others. Militaria.Name cooperates with law enforcement and government officials and other third parties and we can (and you authorise us to) disclose any information about you as we, in our sole discretion, believe appropriate to assist with investigations into fraud, intellectual property infringements, privacy or any other illegal activity or activity that may expose Militaria.Name to legal liability.

Although Militaria.Name adheres to industry standard practices to ensure your personal information is protected, due to technical limitations, we cannot and do not guarantee that your personal information will remain private as third parties may unlawfully intercept or access private communications and transmissions. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from our online products or services. These activities are conducted at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security.

4. Emailing tools

Militaria.Name provides facilities throughout the site to refer a friend to Militaria. Name or to send references to a specific listing to a friend. You may not use the "Email to a friend" service or other email forwarding services that we offer to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our User Agreement or Privacy Policy. We do not permanently store, sell, or rent these email messages or the email addresses.

5. Updating your personal information

Militaria.Name provides you with ways in which you can update your personal information, including changing your email address, password, address and phone number, etc. You must ensure your personal information is kept up to date and is accurate. Militaria.Name will store your previous personal information to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, assist with any investigations and enforce our User Agreement and legal requirements.

Upon your request we will deactivate your account, however your personal information is not removed from our databases due to technical constraints. Therefore you should not expect that your personal information is removed. Please contact us to close your account.

6. Control of your password

You are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID, email address and password, including fees charged. Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your Militaria.Name password to any third parties. If you choose to share your User ID, email address and password or your information with third parties to provide you additional services, you are responsible for all actions taken with this information. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your username and passwords and any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are using the Internet at any time.

7. Credit card security

It's safer to use your credit card over the Internet than in a restaurant or department store. Militaria.Name 's servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with most newer browsers so that only Militaria.Name 's computers read a buyer's personal information. Additionally all credit card information is processed directly by Worldpay using an SSL connection. This means that Militaria.Name, as a merchant, never actually sees or stores your credit card information. Consumer protection laws protect you against any unauthorised use of your credit card. If you suspect any illegal use of your card, call your issuing bank immediately to make sure your rights are protected.

8. Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a website can transfer to an individual's computer hard drive for record keeping. Cookies can make using Militaria.Name easier by storing information about your preferences on a particular website. This will enable you to take full advantage of the services that Militaria.Name offers. The use of cookies is an industry standard and you'll find most major websites use them. Most Internet browsers are pre-set to accept cookies. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser to disable cookies or to warn you when cookies are being used.

Militaria.Name mostly uses "session" cookies, which are removed from your computer once you leave Militaria.Name. However, Militaria.Name also uses persistent cookies to personalise the user experience, to help protect our members and to provide us with research information (such as how often members visit Militaria.Name each month). Persistent cookies allow us to track users on Militaria.Name and help us identify users abusing the Militaria.Name service.

9. Other information we collect

We use additional information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address.

10. Advertising and third party links

Some Militaria.Name advertisers may request information directly from users, or link to sites that do so. Militaria.Name has no control over its advertisers' privacy policies, and encourages users to review such policies prior to submitting any personal information to them.

Militaria.Name contains non-advertising links to a variety of third party sites to enhance the member experience. Militaria.Name has no control of either the content or privacy policies of such sites, nor should such links be considered an endorsement of these sites except where otherwise noted.
