The statement below outlines in detail the privacy practices for the Property Recovery system, and addresses the following questions:

I. Personal Information
II. Who is Collecting the Information
III. How Information is Used
IV. Who Shares Information
V. Use of Cookies
VI. Your Choices Regarding the Information
VII. Security Precautions
VIII. How to Correct Inaccuracies

I. Personal Information (top)
Personal information is collected when users voluntarily add property information in order to participate in this service. This information is collected in order to provide this service to you. We also collect email addresses from users who send us mail or request technical or other help. This information enables StealitBack.com to improve its site to make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.

One method of collecting summarized information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most frequently), and information volunteered by you (such as survey or registration information), is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to you automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our site, our server logs your IP address. StealitBack.com records IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide summarized data to advertisers about the volume of use on our site. We also create summarized reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows these parties to advertise more effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to your personal interests. An advertiser will not know that you clicked its advertisement unless you voluntarily and explicitly permit us to provide such information.
 
II. Who is Collecting the Information (top)
When you are on our website and asked for information, you are sharing that information only with StealitBack.com, its corporate owner PropertyRoom.com, and necessary related service providers such as a police department, unless specifically stated otherwise. None of your information is shared with selling law enforcement agencies unless there is reasonable suspicion of fraudulent activity on your part.
 
III. How Information is Used (top)
The information collected about stolen property will be used solely to facilitate the recovery of the property, and therefore may need be shared with law enforcement offices. The information will be used for no other purpose. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using this service.
 
IV. Who Shares Information (top)
StealitBack.com will not sell your name, address, phone numbers, email address or any information that personally identifies you or your stolen property to third parties. In most cases, we will jointly manage some of your information with a third party provider of auction hosting services with whom there is a relationship of strict confidentiality. In some cases, information about your stolen property may be shared with a police department for the purpose of returning your property to you. Demographic information, such as town/city, state, zip code, sex, and age provided by you may be included in a summarized customer database profile, which may be used to attract potential suppliers and advertisers to our website.

StealitBack.com may divulge personal information if such information is subpoenaed, or if StealitBack believes that its site has been used to commit unlawful acts, or acts that might endanger the health or safety or another user or of the general public.

In the event that Property.com, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the assets transferred to new owners.
 
V. Use of Cookies (top)
Stealitback.com uses “cookies” to record information. A cookie is a small data file that websites store on your hard drive when you visit them. Cookies allow us to measure activity in your site and to improve your user experience by remembering your password and viewing preferences, and allowing you to visit our site without re-registering. Cookies allow us to determine which areas and features of our site are more popular by measuring user activity.

However, some parts of our site such as the members only area (i.e., the terms of service area) will not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. StealitBack does not control these cookies, and they are not subject to StealitBack’s privacy policy.
 
VI. Your Choices Regarding the Information (top)
