PRIVACY
POLICY
Overview
Mody,
Inc., the owner of
www.JoysList.com ("JoysList"), takes your privacy seriously. Thus, we have
established this Privacy Policy to explain to you how your personally
identifiable information collected or received by JoysList may be protected,
collected, and used. Personally identifiable information is information about
you like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not
otherwise publicly available. This policy does not apply to the practices of
companies that Mody, Inc. does not own or control or to people that Mody, Inc.
does not employ or manage.
Information We Collect
Mody, Inc. is the sole owner of
the information collected on JoysList.
When you register to post a
classified ad on our site, we collect personally identifiable information,
including your name, address, email address, and phone number. We may also
collect other demographic information, like your gender or age, which you choose
to tell us. We encourage you to provide this information so we can continue to
develop and tailor our web site to our users.
We may also collect personal
information if you provide it in feedback or comments, post it on our
classifieds, or if you contact us directly. Please do not post any information
on our classifieds that you expect to keep private.
We collect credit card information on our site when you make
a purchase on our site, but we do not retain credit card information once the
transaction is processed. Our security measures to protect your credit card
information are described below.
We may store and process personal information collected on
our site in the United States or any other country in which Mody, Inc. or its
agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent to the transfer
of your information among these facilities, including those located outside your
country.
Log Files
As is true of most web sites,
we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This
information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet
service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp,
and click stream data. We use this information, which does not identify
individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to diagnose
problems with our server to track users' movements around the site, to gather
demographic information about our user base as a whole, and to otherwise provide
service to you. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally
identifiable information.
Cookies
A
cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for
record-keeping purposes. We use session ID cookies on this site, to make it
easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close
your browser. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any
personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
Profile
We store information that we
collect through log files and clear gifs to create a "profile" of your
preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information, and your
purchasing history, to information in the profile, in order to provide tailored
promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the site for you.
We do not share your profile
with other third parties.
Our Use of Your Information
We collect
your personally identifiable information in order to contact you (for example,
to send you a confirmation email and limited other emails regarding special
offers or service updates) and to fulfil your requests for services.
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We
send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will also occasionally receive updates about special deals.
Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can
deactivate their account.
Service Announcements
On
rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for
maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of
these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these
communications are not promotional in nature.
Customer Service
We
communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and with
respect to issues relating to their accounts. We reply via email, in accordance
with the users' wishes.
Choice/Opt-out
If
you no longer wish to receive any communications from JoysList, you may opt-out
of receiving these communications by de-activating your account. In order to
de-activate your account, you can email our Customer Service us at [customer_service@joyslist.com].
Changing or Deactivating Your
Personal Information
If your personally identifiable
information changes (such as your address, phone number, or email address), or
if you no longer desire our service, we provide a way to correct or update your
personally identifiable information or to deactivate your account and delete
your personally identifiable information. This can be done by emailing our
Customer Service at [customer_service@joyslist.com].
Our Disclosure of Your Information
Legal Disclaimer
We
reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as
required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our
rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal
process served on our web site. Otherwise, we will not share users' personally
identifiable information.
Third Party Intermediaries
As
explained below, we use the services of VeriSign to process payments for
services.
We use Verisign's PayFlow Pro payment processing service
along with a secure 128-bit SSL layer to protect your vital credit card
information.
You
as our customer make a purchase on your Web site.
Our
website passes the transaction data to the PayFlow Pro client.
The
PayFlow Pro client passes the information to VeriSign, and the PayFlow payment
processing cycle begins. VeriSign securely routes your information through a
network of banks, processors and other financial institutions.
Payment is processed. Once the transaction is approved, the approval
information is sent to VeriSign. VeriSign sends us the website and you the
customer an email confirmation that the transaction was approved. The entire
approval process takes on average less than three seconds. The PayFlow Pro
client sends an acknowledgement to VeriSign that you have received the approval
information.

Business Transitions
In the event Mody, Inc. goes through a business transition,
such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its
assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the
assets transferred. Users will be notified via email prior to a change of
ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the
business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used
in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be
given a choice consistent with our Notification of Changes section.

This web site contains links to
other sites. For example, to make a payment for services purchased on our site,
we link you to VeriSign's web site. Additionally, users who post classified ads
on our site may provide links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of

Security
The security of your personal

and we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal
information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is
100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable
means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute
security.
When you make a purchase on

your payment has been authorized and processed.
VeriSign also strives to protect your personally identifiable information, as
described in their
Privacy Policy and

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this
privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that
