Your Privacy

At Sidila.com we take extraordinary measures to protect your privacy. Operating our web site requires us to collect certain information about you, and in some cases, such as when processing credit card payments, disclose information about you to others. The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to explain the information we collect and how we use it, so you can buy, sell and trade on Sidila.com with complete confidence. Of course, if at any time you have questions about any of our policies, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@sidila.com.

When you register with Sidila.com, we collect billing information consisting of your name, gender, address, phone number and email address. We also collect shipping information which consists of your name, gender, address, phone number and email address. Upon completion of the registration process, each member is assigned a mailbox number. Members communicate with each other via their assigned mailbox numbers.

A feedback rating is kept on each registered member. The feedback rating is a ratio of the number of positive feeback comments the member receives, to the negative ones. Feedback ratings enable members to compare one trader to another. When members look at items you have listed for sale or trade, they are also able to see your feedback rating.

When a member purchases an item using a credit card, their billing information is passed to the appropriate third-party credit card processing companies, based on the card type (Visa, Mastercard etc) for identification and verification. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. However, be aware that the credit card processing companies operate under their own privacy policies and are not bound by the provisions in this Privacy Statement.

When all trading partners accept a trade through our web site, their shipping address is sent to their respective trading partners. To protect members' privacy, we recommend using a rented mailbox at a postal center as the shipping address rather than your home address.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE GIVE OUT YOUR BILLING ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL ADDRESS OR OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER MEMBERS. All communication between members occurs by internal messaging or by email using their assigned mailboxes.

By accepting our Privacy Policies, you expressly consent to the use and disclosure of your personal information described above.
