General
You may visit DealDash.com at any time without
registering. When you visit our website, data is saved on our servers, as is
the website that you visit us from, the advertising you may have been referred
by, the websites that you proceed to from our site, the type of browser you
use, and your IP address.
As this is being done, no personal data is directly associated
with you. However, we do need some personal information from you if you want to
actively participate in DealDash.com.
Once you have registered with DealDash.com, you are asked
to choose a DealDash.com user name together with a password, which then allows
you to take advantage of all of the DealDash.com services.
You can revoke your consent any time by closing your
account with us.
"Personal data" is the information that readily
identifies you, for example your name, address, e-mail address and mobile phone
number or your payment details. When you register, personal data is recorded
and processed by DealDash.com, as well as when you use the service, for example:
-
when you purchase bids;
-
when you place bids, win
an auction, or purchase through Buy It Now;
-
when you securely
login.
"Usage data" is personal data that identify the
user, as well as information on the DealDash.com services the user utilizes,
for example your DealDash.com user name together with the associated password
and your IP address when you purchase bids, login to the site or win an
auction. It may also include things like the frequency and analysis of your auction
participation and auctions you view online but do not participate in.
Dealdash.com also collects information from you when you
search, participate in a contest or questionnaire or communicate with our
customer support.
We collect this data to make it possible for you to use
DealDash.com and to help us personalize and continually improve your DealDash.com
experience. We maintain all data in the US ourselves and with the assistance of
service providers.
Dealdash.com is directed toward a general audience over
the age of 18 and is specifically not directed toward children under the age of
13. If we learn that we have information about anyone under 13, we will
promptly delete it.

The Use of Cookies on our Website
DealDash.com uses so-called "cookies", which are
text files that are stored on your computer that we retrieve when you visit the
site to assist in customizing your experience with the online service.
The information saved supports the functionality of the
site, for example by keeping track of your bids placed, auctions, etc.
It is necessary to accept cookies in order to use our
service properly, although you may always adjust the
way your browser handles cookies.
We would like to point out that turning off the ability of
your browser to accept cookies may result in limited functionality.
9.
Security Measures
The information in your DealDash.com account and in your
DealDash.com profile is password protected.
Please do not provide your log in credentials to anyone
else, as you will be liable for the activity in your account.
DealDash.com will never ask for your password in e-mails
that you receive unexpectedly or that you did not request.
Please remember to log out of your account and to close
your Internet browser window when you leave the DealDash.com site; this is
especially important if you use the site through a public or shared device.
You are responsible for protecting the secrecy of your log
in details, and we assume no liability for the abuse of login data and
passwords used. Let us know immediately if the secrecy of your log in
credentials has been compromised. While we take reasonable steps to protect
your personal data in our control, no system is foolproof.
