Disclosing Information

We DO NOT sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent, but there are instances when your information may be disclosed to third parties and these are described below.

Your Username is displayed throughout the Site and so is available to everyone. All of your activities on the Site (such as your bids, items that you have purchased, items you are offering for sale, your feedback rating and feedback comments, your postings on the Site, etc) can be identified by your Username. As a result, if your real name is associated with your Username, others may be able to personally identify you and so identify your activities on this Site. When conducting a transaction, the other party to that transaction may view your email address and obtain your contact information and postal address to help complete the transaction.

DJ Bids and The Mobile Disco Directory are keen to enforce laws and third party rights, such as intellectual property rights and laws relating to fraud. Therefore we will (and you authorise us to) disclose personal information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, Username, history, and bidding and listing history about you as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in the event of our receiving a request under Section 29 (3) of the Data Protection Act 1998 (or any subsequent amendment thereto or future enactment) in respect of any activity that may expose us or you to legal liability.

We cannot ensure that all of your communications with us and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. For example, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we employ methods to ensure that this does not happen, we cannot guarantee this.

Your Password

You are responsible for all actions taken with your Username and password, including those actions that result in fees being charged to your account. Therefore do not disclose your password to any third parties. If you do share your Username and password or your information with third parties, you will still remain responsible for all actions taken with your Username and password. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password or account has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.

Accessing and Amending Your Personal Information

We can review and change the information you submit to us by logging into the Site and entering in the new information yourself. Except under exceptional circumstances, we will not modify your personal information at your request since it is difficult to authenticate your account manually. You can change your password, contact information, financial information, postal address and user preferences by going to the "Account" section in the Members Area. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate.

Once posted, you cannot change or remove any public postings made on the Site including the feedback area.

Upon your request, we will deactivate your account. To make this request, please contact the Site’s Administration team. We reserve the right to retain your information to enable us as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our terms and conditions. Further, such information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored "back up" systems.
