Uses and Sharing

We may use your forum suggestions to improve the Services; we use data analytics and may work with certain third-party service providers to ensure site functionality, to improve the Services, and for targeted online and offline advertising and marketing; and of course, we use your email address to communicate with you. starwarscards.net will not sell or disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as specified in our Privacy Policy.

Information Collected or Received

In order to use some of our Services, you need to provide us with a valid email address and a name associated with your account. The name that you can choose will represent your identity on starwarscards.net. Your username may not be modified. You are not required to provide us with this information, but we will need it to provide certain services.

The name associated with your account, which you may review and change in your account settings, is publicly displayed and connected to your starwarscards.net activity. Other people may see the date you joined, reviews, ratings, profile information, and comments in community spaces and your profile.

We also collect certain information from both members and non-members who visit websites hosted by us. This information may include your IP address or unique device identifier, and cookies and data from the pages you visit.

Information Collected or Received

We know that members of our community value having control over their own information, so starwarscards.net gives you the choice of providing, editing or removing certain information, as well as choices about how we contact you. You may change or correct your starwarscards.net account information through your account settings. You may also remove certain optional information that you no longer wish to be publicly visible through the Services, such as your full name.

starwarscards.net may send you messages about the Services or your activity. Some of these messages are required, service-related messages for members (such as transactional messages or legal notices). Other messages are not required, such as newsletters. You can control which optional messages you choose to receive by changing your account settings.

If you no longer wish to use the Services or receive service-related messages, then you may close your account.

Findability

We do not retain the login information for your email service, mobile device, or social network site. You may be able to search for people you know by information provided by the users on the website. Finding your friends on starwarscards.net helps you connect with them on our platform. For example, you can follow another member’s public activity. When you provide us with personal information about your contacts, we will only use this information for the specific reason for which it is provided.

If you do not wish to be located on starwarscards.net via your full name, you can remove your full name and instead may use a nickname or alias as your name in your public account information. If you believe that one of your contacts has provided us with your personal information and you would like to request that it be removed from our database, please contact us at admin@starwarscards.net.

Information Uses, Sharing & Disclosure

We respect your privacy. starwarscards.net will not disclose your name, email address or other personal information to third parties without your consent, except as specified in this policy. We rely on three separate and overlapping bases to process your personal information lawfully. First, it’s necessary for us to process your personal information in certain ways in order to provide the Services to you, in accordance with a contract between you and us, namely, our Terms of Use (for example, giving a vendor your shipping address so that they can send you the item you purchased). Second, where you have given us valid consent to use your data in certain ways, we will rely on your consent. Third, as described in more detail below in the section titled “Legitimate Interests”, in certain cases we may process your information where necessary to further starwarscards.net’s legitimate interests, where those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests.

starwarscards.net may release your personal information to a third party in the following limited circumstances: in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet legitimate national security or law enforcement requirements; to protect, establish, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, including to collect a debt; to comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, or other legal requirement; or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, threats to our property, or violations of starwarscards.net’s Terms of Use.

If starwarscards.net receives a lawful, verified request for a member’s records or information in one of the limited circumstances described in the previous paragraph, starwarscards.net may disclose personal information, which may include, but may not be limited to, a member’s name, address, phone number, email address, and company name.

starwarscards.net is affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them for a variety of purposes, including assisting us to perform and improve the Services. With your consent, these businesses may offer promotions (including email promotions) or sell items or services to you through the Services. starwarscards.net may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. When an affiliated business assists in facilitating your transaction, we may need to share information related to the transaction with that affiliated business in order to facilitate your transaction.

starwarscards.net may share demographic information with business partners, but it will always be aggregated and de-personalized, so that personally-identifiable information is not revealed.

Third-party plug-ins also may collect information about your use of the Site. For example, when you load a page on starwarscards.net that has a social plug-in from a third-party site or service, such as a “Like” or “Send” button, you are also loading content from that third-party site. That site may request cookies directly from your browser. These interactions are subject to the privacy policy of the third-party site. In addition, certain cookies and other tracking mechanisms on the Site are used by third parties for targeted online marketing and other purposes. These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you use the Services, but do not allow access to personal information from starwarscards.net. Please be aware that when you use third-party sites or services, their own terms and privacy policies will govern your use of those sites or services. While starwarscards.net provides you with access to these third-party technologies, starwarscards.net does not have control over the actual functionality of these third-party technologies, and they are subject to that third party’s privacy policy and not starwarscards.net’s Privacy Policy.

We can speak only for ourselves; this policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that starwarscards.net does not own or control or individuals that starwarscards.net does not employ or manage. If you provide your information to others, different practices may apply to the use or disclosure of the information that you provide to them. starwarscards.net does not control the privacy policies of third parties, including other starwarscards.net members. starwarscards.net is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of starwarscards.net members or other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the Services. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
