Information We Collect
Non-personally Identifiable Information
We may collect and use non-personally identifiable information
from you when you are visiting the Site through the standard operation
of our Internet servers. Non-personally identifiable information
collected from you may include user Internet Protocol (IP) addresses,
browser types, domain names, and anonymous statistical data regarding
your use of the Site. For example, we can tell which Internet
Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information
about our visitors that would allow us to identify them.
The Site also collects information through the use of "cookies." Cookies
are small text files that a website can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate
the user's ongoing access to and use of a website, allow the site to track usage
behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and
targeted advertising. Cookies work by assigning a unique number to the
user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If you do not want information
collected from you through cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers
that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Note, however, that
cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on the
Site.
Additionally, the Site may collect information by using “web beacons.” Web
beacons are small, transparent graphic images placed on a site or in an email
that record the actions of the user opening the page that contains the beacon. If
you do not want information collected from you through web beacons, turning off
your browser’s cookie feature will prevent web beacons from tracking your
activity.
Personally Identifiable Information
We collect your personally identifiable information only when you provide such
information voluntarily on the Site, including: (i) if you register on the Site
or log-on with your username and password, (ii) when you list items for sale,
(iii) when you place bids on items, (iv) when you pay fees for auction listings
or other optional services, (v) when you sign-up to subscribe to a service, a
newsletter, or ask to be added to our mailing lists for products or services,
(vi) when you place an order for or pay for products or services, (vii) when
you participate in a promotional offer, (viii) when you provide feedback in an
online survey, and (ix) when you submit other content and suggestions, including
participating in online blogs, chatboards, or other user forums. We do
not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under
the age of 13.
In each of the instances above, we typically ask for some or all of the following
information: your name, e-mail address, phone number, mailing address,
the type of business you are in, any applicable identification number or password
that we may require, as well as other similar information that is needed to register
or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional
information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain other
information, materials and services.
How We Use Collected Information
The personally identifiable information you provide to us may be used to provide
products and services to you or to enhance your experience at the Site or as
a subscriber to danshamptons.com products and services. We may also use
such information to notify you of special offers and products or services from danshamptons.com and/or
from third parties that might be of interest to you. We may share your
personally identifiable information with our affiliates.
In addition, we may rent, sell or otherwise transfer to third parties your personally
identifiable information. At any time, you can contact danshamptons.com to
request that we not share your personally identifiable information with third
parties, as described in the “Opt-out” section below.
We may employ independent contractors, vendors and suppliers (collectively, "Outside
Contractors") to provide services and products related to the Site,
such as providing credit card-processing and fraud screening, order fulfillment
and shipment, mailing of various materials, hosting and maintaining the Site,
and developing applications for the Site. The Outside Contractors may sometimes
have limited access to information collected from you, including your personally
identifiable information, in the course of providing products or services to
us. Access to your personally identifiable information by the Outside Contractors
is limited to the information necessary for them to perform the contracted services. Lastly,
we require that the Outside Contractors (i) protect the privacy of your personally
identifiable information consistent with this Privacy Policy, and (ii) not use
or disclose such information for any purpose other than providing us with products
or services for which we contracted.
danshamptons.com may merge your information collected on the Site with similar
data obtained from third parties or collected from you offline. We may
use this enhanced personally identifiable information for marketing purposes,
including to notify you of special offers, updated information and new products
and services. Other unique circumstances may arise that require our disclosure
of your personal information to third parties, such as in connection with a corporate
transaction where all or a portion of our business or assets (including our associated
customer lists containing your personal information) are sold or transferred,
or if disclosure is required by law.
Please be aware that, if you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information
in an e-mail or other communications with third parties listed on the Sites (including
buyers or sellers with whom you have conducted transactions) or in other materials,
that information, along with any other information disclosed in your communication,
can be collected and correlated and used by such third parties and may result
in your receiving unsolicited messages from other persons. Such collection,
correlation, use and messages are beyond our control.

your identity, such as buyers and sellers with whom you have conducted transactions,
will be able to personally identify your activities on the Site.
Our Commitment to Data Security
danshamptons.com takes every effort to protect against unauthorized access,
loss, misuse or alteration by third parties of your personal information, and
has put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial

be circumvented or breached. While we strive to protect your information,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of any information you transmit
to us, and you do so at your own risk.
You are responsible for all actions conducted using your username and password. Please
do not disclose your password to anyone. If you do share your username
and password with others, you may be legally responsible for their actions.

will only affect future contacts. If we had provided your information to
third parties prior to your opt-out, they may continue to use it.
Even if you do not opt-in to receive promotional or other communications or you
