PRIVACY POLICY
NYCSHA.com is committed to protecting your privacy; we hate junk email as much as anyone.
This Privacy Policy tells you why we collect your personal information, what we collect and what we do with it. As much as possible, we use your personal information to offer you products and services that are likely to be relevant and useful for you.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
As a visitor to our website: If you are just browsing our website and don’t complete any online form, then we won’t be collecting personal information from you that would enable us to identify you.
There is information about your computer that is automatically collected by us using ‘cookies’. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by us for the provision of products and services, to maintain quality of the website and to provide general statistics regarding use of our website. This applies to anyone accessing our website.
As a member of our website: Membership is free and only members can buy products through our website. The personal information that we ask you to provide is no different from what you would provide when creating a user account for an online auction website, and simply means that you don’t have to keep filling in your details again every time you complete a purchase.
Your information may be provided to a [insert website name] fulfillment house when you purchase a product from us, to make sure you actually receive it.
We collect information that can identify you, such as your e-mail address, name, home, work or postal address or telephone number. We might also collect demographic information which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites which we may collate and use statistically. We will only collect this information directly from you.
Business clients: The information that we collect about businesses will not normally constitute personal information. This is because businesses do not have ‘personal’ information. In the event that personal information is collected from a business, that information will be protected in accordance with this privacy policy. We acknowledge that information provided to us by a business may be considered confidential and we agree to retain the confidentiality of that information unless otherwise compelled by law or required by our professional advisors for the purpose of providing us with advice.
INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN
We do not collect or maintain information from children we know are under the age of 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13.
We do may members to confirm that they are over 18 at the time of joining.

In those cases, your unique personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the them.
We might also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
In addition, we may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All of those third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services for us, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
We won’t provide your details to anyone else unless compelled or permitted by law, or required by our professional advisors to complete their services to us, such as for auditing or insurance purposes. We will disclose your personal information, without notice, only as necessary to: (a) obey the law or comply with legal process served on us; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of NYCSHA.COM ; and, (c) act under serious and immediate circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our website, or the public.
