Information You Share on BuMex
Your User ID is displayed on many pages at BuMex (and so available to the public), and is connected to all of your BuMex activity. Other people can see your storefronts, feedback, ratings and associated comments. Notices sent to other community members about suspicious activity and policy violations on our sites refer to User IDs and specific items. So if you associate your name with your User ID, the people to whom you have revealed your name will be able to personally identify your BuMex activities.
 
If you access our sites from a shared computer or a computer in an internet café, certain information about you, such as your User ID, activity or reminders from BuMex, may also be visible to other individuals who use the computer after you.

Using Information from BuMex

BuMex enables you to share personal and financial information to complete transactions. We encourage you to disclose your privacy practices and respect the privacy of other users. We cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your information and therefore we encourage you to evaluate the privacy and security policies of your trading partner before entering into a transaction and choosing to share your information. To help protect your privacy, we allow only limited access to other users' contact, shipping and financial information to facilitate your transactions. When users are involved in a transaction, they may have access to each other's name, User ID, email address and other contact and shipping information. In all cases, you must give other users a chance to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected about them.
 
You agree to use user information only for:
 
  • BuMex transaction-related purposes that are not unsolicited commercial messages;
  • Using services offered through BuMex, or
  • Other purposes that a user expressly chooses.
 
No Spam, Spyware or Spoofing
We and our users do not tolerate spam. Make sure to set your BuMex notification preferences so we communicate to you as you prefer. You are not licensed to add other BuMex users, even a user who has purchased an item from you, to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their express consent. To report BuMex-related spam or spoof emails to BuMex, please forward the email to spam@bumex.in. You may not use our communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our User Agreement. We automatically scan and may manually filter messages to check for spam, viruses, phishing attacks and other malicious activity or illegal or prohibited content, but we do not permanently store messages sent through these tools. If you send an email to an email address that is not registered in our community, we do not permanently store that email or use that email address for any marketing purpose. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.
 
Account Protection
Your password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters, and do not disclose your BuMex password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify BuMex and change your password.
 
Personalization
We may customize our Websites or newsletters for certain users based on the information they previously provided or that was collected through BuMex.in in order to enhance the overall web experience.
 
Security of Your Personal Information
BuMex is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. We utilize a combination of security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When we transfer sensitive personal data (for example, credit card information) over the Internet, we protect it using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit. We recommend you to take every precaution in protecting your personal information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser.
