What information is collected:
Dealitem.com collects certain information from and about its users in
three ways -- directly from the user, from our Web server logs, and with
cookies.
User-Supplied Information: When you register for Dealitem.com, we may
ask you for your name, email address, and some other personal information.
The more accurate information you volunteer, the better we are able to
customize your Dealitem.com experience.
Server Log Information: When you visit an Internet Web site, you
disclose certain information about yourself, such as your Internet
Protocol (IP) address, the time of your visit, and the referring location
(e.g., the Site or page that offered a link to a Dealitem.com page).
Dealitem.com, like many other sites, records this basic
information about visits to its site.
Cookies: In order to offer and provide a customized, personal service,
Dealitem.com uses cookies to store and help track your information as you
travel throughout the site. For example, we may use cookies to help remind
us who you are and to deliver content and services based upon your account
information. In addition, third party advertising networks may issue
cookies when serving advertisements.
Cookies are simply pieces of information that are sent to your browser
from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. The use of
cookies is relatively standard and you will likely find them used on most
other major Web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept
cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you
when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. You should
understand that certain areas of many sites may not function properly if
you set your browser to not accept cookies or if you reject a cookie.
You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online, such as in message boards, through e-mail, discussion
groups, or in chat areas, your information can be collected and used by
others. Allthough Dealitem.com tries to protect your personal
information, Dealitem.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You
are also solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords
you set up and/or any account information.
