Welcome to https://startmsg.com (the Website). We understand that online privacy is important to users of our Website, especially when conducting business activities. This privacy policy governs our privacy practices that apply to those users of the Website (Visitors) who visit without conducting business transactions, and to Visitors who register in order to carry out business transactions on the Website and use the various services offered by this application (collectively referred to as the Services) (Authorized Customers).

Personally identifiable information

Personally identifiable information means any information that identifies, or can be used to identify, contact or locate the person to whom that information relates, including, but not limited to, name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, financial data, social security number and credit card information. Personally identifiable information does not include information collected anonymously (that is, without identifying the user) or demographic information not connected to an identified person.

What personally identifiable information do we collect?

We may collect basic user profile information from all of our visitors. In addition, we collect the following additional information from Authorized Customers: names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, the nature and size of the business, and the nature and size of the advertising inventory that the Authorized Customer intends to buy or sell.

Which organizations collect the information?

In addition to our direct collection of information, our third-party service providers (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks) that provide services such as credit, insurance and escrow services may collect this information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use the personal information they receive from Visitors and Authorized Customers.

How does the Website use personally identifiable information?

We use personally identifiable information to customize the Website, to offer relevant services and to fulfil buying and selling requests. We may send emails to Visitors and Authorized Customers about research, buying and selling opportunities or information related to the subject of the Website. We may also use personally identifiable information to respond to specific inquiries or to provide requested information.

Who may the information be shared with?

Personally identifiable information about Authorized Customers may be shared with other Authorized Customers who wish to evaluate potential transactions. We may share aggregated information about our Visitors, including the demographic data of our Visitors and Authorized Customers, with our affiliated agencies and third-party providers. We also offer the option to “opt out” of receiving information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our behalf.

How is personally identifiable information stored?

The personally identifiable information that is collected is stored securely and is not accessible to third parties or our employees, except where it is used for the purposes described above.

What choices do Visitors have regarding the collection, use and distribution of information?

Visitors and Authorized Customers can decline to receive unsolicited information from us and/or our suppliers and affiliated agencies by responding to emails according to the instructions provided, or by contacting us.

Are cookies used on the Website?

Yes, cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use cookies to obtain information about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they choose. We also use cookies for security purposes, to protect Authorized Customers.

How does this application use login information?

This application uses login information, including but not limited to IP addresses, internet service providers (ISPs) and browser types, in order to analyze trends, administer the Website, track user movement and use of the Website, and gather broad demographic information.

Which partners or service providers have access to personally identifiable information from Visitors and/or Authorized Customers on the Website?

This application has entered into, and will continue to enter into, partnerships and other cooperation agreements with various providers. Such providers may have access to certain personally identifiable information on a “need to know” basis, in order to assess the eligibility of Authorized Customers for the services. Our privacy policy does not cover the collection or use of information by these providers. Disclosure of personally identifiable information in order to comply with the law: We will disclose personally identifiable information in order to comply with a court order or subpoena, or a request from a law enforcement agency for information. We will also disclose personally identifiable information when it is reasonably necessary to protect the safety of our Visitors and Authorized Customers.

How does the Website protect personally identifiable information?

All of our employees are familiar with our security policy and procedures. Personally identifiable information belonging to Visitors and Authorized Customers is accessible only to a limited number of qualified employees who have passwords to access the information. We regularly review our security systems and processes. Sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, is protected by encryption protocols to safeguard information transmitted over the internet. Although we take commercially reasonable measures to maintain a secure website, electronic communications and databases are vulnerable to errors, hacking and other incidents, so we cannot guarantee that such events will not occur, and we do not accept liability to Visitors or Authorized Customers for such cases.

How can Visitors correct inaccuracies in personally identifiable information?

Visitors and Authorized Customers can contact us to update or correct personally identifiable information about themselves by emailing us at: support@startmsg.com.

Can a Visitor delete or deactivate personally identifiable information collected on the Website?

We provide Visitors and Authorized Customers with a mechanism to delete or deactivate personally identifiable information from the Website’s database by contacting us. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may not be possible to completely delete a Visitor’s record without some residual information remaining. A person who requests the deactivation of personally identifiable information will have that information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer or use it in any way in the future.

What happens if the privacy policy changes?

We will inform our Visitors and Authorized Customers about changes to our privacy policy by publishing such changes on the Website. However, if we change the privacy policy in a way that could result in the disclosure of personally identifiable information that a Visitor or Authorized Customer previously requested not to be disclosed, we will contact such Visitor or Authorized Customer to allow them to prevent such disclosure.
