1. Information we collect and how we use it

1.1 In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:
(a) Information you provide - When you sign up for a Service that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services we also request credit card or other payment account information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers.
(b) Cookies - When you visit our website, we send one or more cookies - a small file containing a string of characters - to your computer or other device that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, improving search results and ad selection, and tracking user trends, such as how people search. 1850 also uses cookies in its advertising services to help advertisers and publishers serve and manage ads across the web.
(c) Log information - When you access our website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
(d) User communications - When you send email or other communications to 1850, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our Services.
(e) Other sites - This Privacy Policy applies to 1850 Services only. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results, sites that include applications, products or services of 1850, or links from within our various services. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. 

1.2 1850 only processes personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and/or the supplementary privacy notices. In addition to the above, such purposes include:
(a) Providing our Services;

(c) Protecting the rights or property of 1850 or our users;
(d) Developing new services; and
(e) Use your personal information with exemption of your email address to keep you updated of interesting information and/or offers of ourselves or carefully selected other companies.

2. Choices for personal information

2.1 When you sign up for a particular Service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the specific service privacy notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use email addresses for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the supplementary service privacy notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent. 

2.2 You can decline to submit personal information to any of our Services, in which case 1850 may not be able to provide those services to you.

3. Information sharing

3.1 1850 only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of 1850 in the following limited circumstances:
(a) We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
(b) We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of 1850, its users or the public as required or permitted by law. 

3.2 If 1850 becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. 

3.3 We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such information does not identify you individually.

4. Information security

4.1 We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

5. Accessing and updating personal information

5.1 When you use our Services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required.
