What personally identifiable information is collected
from you
The Maadi Online collects information in several ways from different
parts of our web site.
Some personal information is gathered when you register. During
registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system will also
ask for your street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code,
country, telephone number, and the URL of your web site, although only
fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration field are
required. This information is used solely to assist you in navigating the
system by automatically filling in certain forms (such as the ad posting
form) with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter
it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to Maadi Online - you
have a username and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings
of the Maadi Online.
In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at
other times, including (but not limited to) when you place ads or take
advantage of the other features of the Maadi Online. If you contact us, we
may keep a record of that correspondence. Every page within the Maadi
Online includes a link to this Privacy Policy.

What cookies are and how they are used
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized
services, the Maadi Online may use cookies to store and
sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data
that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your
computer's hard drive. Several features of the Maadi Online require that
you accept cookies in order to work properly. (See "What
choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution
of your information" for more information on cookies.)
Generally, we use cookies for the following purposes:
(1) To identify and label all "new" ads since your last visit to the
site.
(2) Optionally to permanently save your password on your computer so
you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.
(3) To enable you to "checklist" ads that you want to mark for future
retrieval and viewing.
Advertising networks that serve ads onto the Maadi Online may also use
their own cookies.
The Maadi Online may also collect IP addresses
for system administration and to report aggregate information to our
advertisers.

How your information is used

Who is collecting your information
When you are asked for personal information on the Maadi Online, you
are sharing that information with the Maadi Online alone, unless it is
specifically stated otherwise. However, some activities will, by their
very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other
users of the Maadi Online. For example, when you enter personal
information on the ad posting form, this information will generally be
included in your ad, unless specifically stated otherwise.

With whom your information may be shared
As a general rule, Maadi Online will not disclose any of your
personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or
under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that
the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see
the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and
services for more detailed information about how your personal information
may be shared.
Maadi Online may disclose account information in special cases when we
have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
violating the Terms of Service of the Maadi Online or may be causing
injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally)
the rights or property of the Maadi Online, other users of the Maadi
Online, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Maadi
Online may disclose or access account information when we believe in good
faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes
that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and
services.

What choices are available to you regarding
collection, use, and distribution of your information
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can
still use most of the Maadi Online, but you will not be able to access
areas or use features that require registration.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your
browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be
notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to
reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of the Maadi
Online that require registration in order to participate. These services
include the identification of new ads that have been posted since your
last visit, auto-fillin of the logon form, and the Checklist feature. You
can still use most of the features of the Maadi Online even if you do not
accept cookies.
The Maadi Online does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We
will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data
will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of
not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be
shared, you can choose not to use a particular service.

How you can access, update or delete your
information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal
information is correct and current. You may edit or delete your user
profile at any time by clicking on the "My Profile" link or graphic
provided by the system once you are logged in. Once you have logged onto
the system during a given session, wherever you go on the Maadi Online,
your information will stay with you until or unless you click on the
"Logoff" link, which is accessible from within the "My Profile" screen.
If you are a previously registered user and you have lost or forgotten
your password, you may obtain it by email by using our "Forgot Password"
feature. Click the button on any login page to request that your password
be emailed to you. We cannot provide your password by any other means.
Your Maadi Online account can be deleted, but doing so will result in
not being able to access any of the features of the program that require
user registration.

The kind of security precautions that are in place
to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information
Other than the administrator of the Maadi Online or other authorized
personnel of the Maadi Online, you are the only person who has access to
your personal information. Your user registration is password-protected to
prevent unauthorized access.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Maadi
Online will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call
or in an unsolicited email. As an extra security precaution, you may want
to logoff once you have completed a session in the Maadi Online. This is
to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and
correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a
computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, Maadi Online cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so
at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems.

How Maadi Online protects children's
privacy
Maadi Online is a general audience web site. Children should always ask
a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone
online. Maadi Online does not share personal information about users under
the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal
information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, Maadi
Online will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they
are under the age of 13.

What else you should know about your online
privacy
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online - for example in ads that you post or through email -
that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you
post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may
receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of
your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and
responsible whenever you're online.
