Our Privacy Statement

SonicSwap's Privacy Statement

Let us summarize this for you...

We promise to never sell your personal information. We'll guard your email address, and never use it to SPAM you. (We hate SPAM as much as you do.) This site collects usage information to provide a better web experience for our users. We don't keep credit card info, or detailed addresses. You can be as anonymous on the site as you wish.

Now for the fine print:

When you visit SonicSwap.com (“the Site”), you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree, please don’t access or use the Site. You can always choose not provide information even though it might be need to complete a transaction.

Respect for Your Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. Unless we have your consent, we will not disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Minors

Minors (persons under the age of 13) are not eligible to use the Site unsupervised. We ask that they do not submit any personal information to us. You may only use this Site under the supervision of your parents or guardians if you under the age of 13.

Collecting Data

We only collect personal information, such as name, address, and telephone number, necessary to provide a safe, smooth, efficient, customized, and enjoyable experience using the Site and services provided by SonicSwap.

In general, you can browse the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information. But, once you give us your personal information, you are no longer anonymous to us. If you choose to use our services, we may require you to provide contact, identity, billing, shipping, and other personal information as indicated on the forms throughout the Site. We receive and store any information you enter on the Site or give us in any other way. We indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. You are always free to withhold information by not using a particular service or feature.

We automatically track certain information based on how you use the Site. We employ this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect, and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Site or not), which URL you go to next (whether this URL is on the Site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address.

We use "cookies" to help analyze our Web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. Cookies also help us provide information that matches your interests. You can always decline our cookies if your browser permits. This means, though, that you may not be able to use certain features on the Site.

You may also encounter cookies or similar devices on certain site pages that third parties have placed there. For example, if you view a Web page a user has created, there may be a cookie placed within it. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.

If you choose to post messages in our discussion boards or message areas, or if you want to leave feedback for other users, we will collect that information. We retain this information to resolve disputes, provide customer support, and troubleshoot problems as permitted by law.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may collect this information in a file specific to you.

We may receive information about you from other sources and add it to your account information.

Using your information

We use your personal information to deliver the services you request and in the file we maintain about you. This information may be used, for example, to resolve disputes; troubleshoot problems; measure consumer interest in our products and services; inform you about online and offline offers, products, services, and updates; customize your experience; detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; enforce our User Agreement; and in other ways we’ll describe at the time of collection.

We may use some of your personal information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts; analyze Site usage; improve our content and product offerings; and customize the Site's content, layout, and services. The aim here is always to improve the Site and tailor it to better meet your needs.

We may also use your personal information to contact you and deliver information that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as advertisements, administrative notices, product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site.

Sharing Your Information

We will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent. To provide our services, however, we may disclose information to the following people:

• Advertisers. We compile data from all users and share this information with advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify you personally.

• Our Members. Since your User ID is displayed throughout the Site, it is available to the public and all your site activities can be traced to it. If you associate your name with your User ID, people will be able to identify your site activities as yours. Although our pages are coded with robot exclusion headers, others may illegally attempt to automatically collect your email address from the site. We cannot guarantee that your information will not be accessed by such bad actors.

• Internal Service Providers for Our Operations. We may use third parties or “internal service providers” to manage one or more aspects of our business, product, and service operations (such as search technology, discussion boards, bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs, co-branded credit cards, fulfillment, marketing or customer service). As a result, we may provide some of your personal information directly to these people and organizations. They are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit them from using the information we provide them for any reason except to manage the specific outsourced operation. This is binding unless you have explicitly given your prior permission to them to use this information in some other way.

• Affiliated Corporate Entities. We share much of our data, including personal information about you, with our subsidiaries and joint ventures committed to serving your online needs and providing related services. These organizations follow privacy practices as rigorous as ours and will use the information they receive only to improve the products and services they offer you through us. In the event SonicSwap merges with another company or is acquired, we may provide your information to such company.

• Law Enforcement. We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries as well as other third parties to enforce laws such as intellectual property rights, copyright laws, criminal laws and fraud. So, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email address, user history, fraud complaints, without a subpoena, and without advance notice to you.

To respect your privacy and keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure. (The only exception is when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.)

Because of the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. We may be forced, for example, to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances. Third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Or users may abuse or misuse personal information they collect from the Site. Although we use industry-standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise – and you should not expect – that your personal information or private communications would always remain private.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share that information.

Your Use of Others’ Information

Under no circumstances can you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without our consent and the consent of that user. You agree that other users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with SonicSwap guidelines. Note that law enforcement personnel and other rights holders have different rights with respect to the information they access.

We do not tolerate spam. As a result, you may not add a member to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their consent.

You may not use the “Email-to-a-Friend” service or other email services we offer to send spam or other content that would violate our User Agreement. We do not permanently store email messages or the email addresses sent from these tools.

Your Password

You are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password. For your protection, we recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. If you still choose to share your User ID and password, you are responsible for all actions taken with your account.

Changing Your Personal Information

As a SonicSwap member, you may automatically review and change the information you submit to us by logging into the Site and entering the new information. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once posted, you may not be able to change or remove any public postings made on the Site including our chat rooms, other message areas, or the feedback area.

At your request, we will deactivate your account, contact information, from our active databases. We may, however, retain some personal information you have requested to remove so we can prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our User Agreement, or comply with legal requirements as permitted by law.

Other Parties

Unless stated otherwise, this Privacy Statement only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose information to other parties, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure. Since we do not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions before disclosing your personal information to others.

General Security

SonicSwap stores your information on our servers located in the United States of America. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft. And we use unauthorized access and disclosure safeguards to protect your privacy such as encryption, firewalls and secure socket layers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect this data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

Changes to the Policy Statement

Internet technology is rapidly developing, and we need to maintain our flexibility to provide you with the best possible service. If we need to change our policy, we post these changes on the Site as soon as they go into effect.

If you have any questions/concerns about this policy, please email us at: info@sonicswap.com.
