In this Privacy Policy Statement, "personal information" means any information about an identifiable User, excluding any information that has been made anonymous or that is excluded from the definition of "personal information" under applicable laws.

Except where otherwise required or permitted by law, we will inform Users of the purposes for the collection, use, or disclosure of the Users personal information prior to collecting, using or disclosing the personal information. We collect personal information from Users through various means, including through Salvex Website and through user registration. Requirements for consent to collection, use, or disclosure of personal information vary depending on circumstances and on the type of personal information that is intended to be collected, used, or disclosed. In determining whether consent is required and, if so, which form of consent is appropriate, we will take into account both the sensitivity of the personal information at issue and the purposes for which we will use the information. Consent may be express, implied (including through use of "opt-out" consent where appropriate), or deemed. For example, if a User provides his/her/its mailing address and requests information regarding a particular Product, consent to use the address to mail product information to the User is implied. On giving reasonable written notice to the Company, a User may withdraw consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of his/her/its personal information. Upon receipt of this withdrawal, we will notify the User of the likely consequences of withdrawing his/her/its consent. Except where otherwise required or permitted by law, the company will then stop collecting, using or disclosing the Users personal information.
We use information collected from Users to provide Products or services (including disclosure of personal information to third parties as required to provide those Products or services, and as described herein), to respond to requests for information regarding the Company's Products and services, and for additional purposes that may be identified at or before the time that the information is collected. The information gathered will be used for general corporate marketing purposes, thereby enabling us to refine and improve our service and better meet our customers' needs. The information gathered may also be used by the Company to resolve disputes, collect fees, troubleshoot problems, enforce our Salvex Web Site Terms and Conditions and related policies, and prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities. We will not use or disclose personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the User or as required or permitted by law. Once the information is no longer required to fulfill its intended purposes, and is no longer required or permitted to be retained for legal or business purposes, it will be destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.
We are the sole owner of the information collected on this site and will not share or rent this information to others in any way other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy Statement.

We may disclose certain personal information to third parties and to affiliated entities in order to carry out work on behalf of the Company or in connection with the operation of affiliated or hosted marketplace venues. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that such recipients safeguard the personal information and use the information only for authorized purposes. If we partner with another party to provide specific services, and a User registers for these services, we will share the contact information or other information necessary for the third party to provide the requested services. We may also disclose personal information to legal, financial, and other professional advisors and to our lenders or insurers in connection with the operation of our business, or in connection with the sale or reorganization of all or part of our business or operations.
