When you post a message, your Event Leftovers ID or alias is visible to other users. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Event Leftovers may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the Event Leftovers Terms of Use. Event Leftovers may disclose personally identifiable information to parties in compliance with Event Leftovers’ Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy, as Event Leftovers in Event Leftovers’ sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, Event Leftovers may disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email address and company name. Event Leftovers may share aggregated demographic information with business partners.
Event Leftovers is affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them. These businesses may operate stores on the Event Leftovers website or sell items to you from the Event Leftovers website. Event Leftovers may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. Due to the nature of Event Leftovers’ business model, when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, you will share customer information that is related to such transaction with that affiliated business.
Event Leftovers employs other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and needs to share your information with them to provide products and services to you. Examples include but are not limited to handling billing disputes and collections, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service.
Event Leftovers will not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with nonaffiliated parties except as specified in this Privacy Policy to provide products or services you have requested or when Event Leftovers has your permission. It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Event Leftovers’ Terms of Use, as specified in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by law. In some cases, Event Leftovers may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Event Leftovers will transfer information about you if Event Leftovers is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Event Leftovers will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Event Leftovers web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
As part of the buying and selling process, you may obtain another Event Leftovers user's email address, shipping address and/or other information. Pursuant to Event Leftovers’ Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use this information. This information should only be used for Event Leftovers-related communications or for Event Leftovers-facilitated transactions. Event Leftovers has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the user, you are not licensed to add any Event Leftovers user to your email or physical mail list.
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and Event Leftovers’ ability to keep the community free from bad actors, Event Leftovers will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order, legal process, or substantially similar legal procedure, except when Event Leftovers believes in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to protect Event Leftovers’ rights, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity.
