Privacy Policy

CWS Marketing Group is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. We use the information you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future purchases for you, improving our site, and communicating with you.

What information do we gather about you? How do we use it?

Processing Payments

We request specific information from you in order to facilitate a transaction that you initiate (for example, bidding in our Online Auctions section). Your financial information is handled by reputable third-party banking institutions and credit card authorization and payment facilitation companies. They receive only the information required to verify and authorize your credit card and to process payments. They are under strict obligation to keep your credit card information and transaction records private and secure.

If you wish to correct any personally identifiable information in your account, you may do so at any time by following the directions in the "Profile" section of Online Auctions. If you have any questions about correcting your account information, please contact us.

Use of Cookies

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies", and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses cwsmarketing.com. If a cookie is used, our Web site will be able to "remember" information about you and your preferences either until you exit your current browser window (if the cookie is temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Email Request for Information

When you request email updates, we will send you periodic notices about upcoming sales and events related to category preferences that you indicated, as well as other products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. In order to provide the most relevant and personalized information about items up for auction, the content of the email updates you receive may be based upon your past bidding activity.

If you decide you do not want to receive these notices anymore, you can unsubscribe at any time. You can also contact us and unsubscribe.

Legally Required Disclosures

If we are required by law to disclose certain information to local, state, federal, national or international government or law enforcement authorities, we will do so.

Security

All communications involving the bidder registration and "Profile" sections of Online Auctions occur on our secure server. Your credit card number is only stored in an encrypted form while in our database and is transmitted as an encrypted communication. Only the last four digits of your credit card number are ever visible, even to our administrative group. At CWS Marketing Group, we treat our customers' personal information as highly confidential.

CWS Marketing Group has strict security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. As with any transmission over the Internet, however, there is always some element of risk involved in sending personal information. In order to try to minimize this risk, (1) your information passes through a "firewall," a computer specifically designed to keep out unauthorized users (2) we encrypt all information that you submit involving bidding (in ordering one of our products or services) using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

Please note that this Privacy and Security Policy applies only to CWS Marketing Group and not to any site to which our site may link and with which we may or may not be affiliated.

If, at some point in the future, there is a change to our information usage practices that affects your personal information, we will provide notification of the changes on our Web site. You should also check this posted privacy statement for changes.
