A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1) or clear GIF placed in the web page code. Web beacons serve many of the same purposes as cookies. In addition, web beacons are used to track the traffic patterns of users from one page to another in order to maximise web traffic flow.
We may work with other companies who place cookies or web beacons on our websites. These service providers help operate our websites, by for example compiling anonymous site metrics and analytics. We require these companies to use the information they collect only to provide us with these services under contract, and not for their own purposes.
Our service providers who use cookies to help us deliver our advertising are members of the Internet Advertising Bureau's Online Choices framework. This framework allows users to decline participation in cookie based online advertising. We require our service providers to use the information they collect only to provide us with these services under contract.
These service providers may use a mixture of both session and persistent cookies. These cookies allow us to make more informed decisions about how to display marketing and advertising tailored towards your needs. This includes using anonymous cookies which collect details of pages and services you viewed. This information is then used to better direct advertisements shown to you on third party sites to make sure that those adverts include products and services that are of interest to you.
We don't permit third-party content on Secret Guru (such as item listings) to include cookies or web beacons. If you believe a listing might be collecting personal information or using cookies, please report it to us.
You may use personal information gathered from Secret Guru only to follow up with another user about a specific posting, not to send spam or collect personal information from someone who hasn't agreed to that.
If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can simply email us at any time.
We use many tools to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure, but as you probably know, nothing's perfect, so we make no guarantees.
We may update this policy at any time, with updates taking effect when you next post or after 30 days, whichever is sooner. If we or our corporate affiliates are involved in a merger or acquisition, we may share personal information with another company, and this other company shall be entitled to share your personal information with other companies but at all times otherwise respecting your personal information in accordance with this policy.
