This Privacy Policy details important information regarding the use and disclosure of User information collected on the CloudTrade Sites. CloudTrade provides this Privacy Policy to help you make an informed decision about whether to use or continue using the CloudTrade Sites.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the CloudTrade Terms of Use.

The Information CloudTrade Collects

  • User Provided Information: You may have to provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, mobile telephone number, date of birth, zip code, and/or gender) to CloudTrade when choosing to participate in various activities on the CloudTrade Sites such as posting messages in our forums, downloading software, providing comments, entering contests or sweepstakes, taking advantage of promotions, responding to surveys, or subscribing to newsletters or other mailing lists.
  • Cookies Information: When you visit the CloudTrade Sites, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. CloudTrade may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the CloudTrade Sites may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

  • Clear GIFs Information: When you use the CloudTrade Sites, we may employ"clear GIFs" (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our Users anonymously (i.e., in a non-personally-identifiable manner). In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.

The Way CloudTrade Uses Information

  • If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the CloudTrade Sites, then we may use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the CloudTrade Sites, including targeted advertising.
  • Any personal information or other information that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, within your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others.
  • We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major CloudTrade Site changes or for customer service purposes).
  • We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the CloudTrade Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
  • We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the CloudTrade Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.

When CloudTrade Discloses Information

  • We provide personally identifiable information and non-personally-identifiable information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
  • We do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name, email address, and/or mobile telephone number) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
  • We do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the CloudTrade Sites.
  • We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law), respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
  • CloudTrade also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that CloudTrade believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of CloudTrade, our Users or others.

Your Choices
You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the CloudTrade Sites, in which case CloudTrade may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your personal profile information and email preferences at any time by visiting your account profile page.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
CloudTrade allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the CloudTrade Sites and other CloudTrade products. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or mobile device,  advertisements and links that appear when using CloudTrade products or on the CloudTrade Sites. They may automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also receive your mobile phone number upon your indication of interest in their advertisement.  They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.

CloudTrade does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks CloudTrade to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the CloudTrade Sites, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.  With your response to an advertisement, an advertiser may receive your contact information in order to contact you regarding their products and/or services.  Once such an exchange of information occurs, you must consult the advertiser"s respective privacy policies for more information on their practices and how to opt-out of certain practices.  CloudTrade"s privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.

Our Commitment To Data Security
CloudTrade uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to CloudTrade and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, CloudTrade makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

If CloudTrade learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. CloudTrade may post a notice on the CloudTrade Sites if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us using the contact information at the end of this Policy.

Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, CloudTrade does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information or non-personally-identifiable information on the CloudTrade Sites from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is directed to or intended for use by persons under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the CloudTrade Sites at any time or in any manner. If you are under 18, you should not visit our Site unless a parent or guardian is present.  If CloudTrade learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been inadvertently collected on the CloudTrade Sites, then CloudTrade will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you believe that your child under the age of 18 has submitted personally identifiable information to us, you may contact us in order to view, modify, and/or delete any information your child provided.  CloudTrade is proud to stand by the Children"s Online Privacy Protection Act.

In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event that CloudTrade is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors" rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.
