Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Obligations
iBuy Stores, Inc. takes privacy seriously and cares about personal information. 'Personal information' means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. iBuy Stores, Inc.'s Privacy Policy applies to personal or corporate information collected and/or held by iBuy Stores, Inc. This Privacy Policy also explains how we process 'personal data' about people in the European Union (EU), as required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will review this policy regularly, and we may update it from time to time.
The types of Personal or Corporate Information we Collect and Hold
We collect personal information about our users in order to provide our products, services, and customer support. Our products, services, and customer support are provided through many platforms including but not limited to: websites, phone apps, email, and telephone. The specific platform and product, service, or support you interact with may affect the personal data we collect. Not all information requested, collected, and processed by us is “Personal or corporate Information” as it does not identify you as a specific natural person. This will include the majority of “User Generated Content” that you provide us with the intention of sharing with other users inside a transaction. Such “Non-Personal Information” is not covered by this privacy policy. However, as non-personal information may be used in aggregate or be linked with existing personal information; when in this form it will be treated as personal information. As such, this privacy policy will list both types of information for the sake of transparency. In some situations, users may provide us with personal information without us asking for it, or through means not intended for the collection of particular types of information. Whilst we may take reasonable steps to protect this data, the user will have bypassed our systems, processes, and control and thus the information provided will not be governed by this privacy policy. In some situations users may provide us with personal information over platforms that are outside our control; for example through social media or forums. Whilst any information collected by us is governed by this Privacy Policy, the platform by which it was communicated will be governed by its own Privacy Policy.
HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL OR CORPORATE INFORMATION:
While you use our products and services you may be asked to provide certain types of personal or corporate information. This might happen through our website, applications, online chat systems, telephone, paper forms, or in-person meetings. We will give you a Collection Notice at the time, to explain how we will use the personal information we are asking for. The notice may be written or verbal. We may request, collect, or process the following information:
- Account Details - password Contact Details - email address, phone number Location

How we use Personal or Corporate Information

Exercising Your Other Rights
You have a number of other rights in relation to the personal data iBuy Stores, Inc. holds about you, however, there may be restrictions on how you may exercise the rights. This is largely due to the nature of the products and services we provide.

You have the right to: opt out of direct marketing, and profiling for marketing erasure and temporary restriction of processing.
Direct Marketing and Profiling
Users can unsubscribe by following the link included at the bottom of each email.
Erasure
Most personal information cannot be deleted as they are used to support contracts between users, document financial transactions, and are used in providing protection for users on the platform. In the case of non-personal data that can be linked with personal data, it will either be erased or otherwise anonymized from the personal data.
Temporary Restriction to Processing
Under certain circumstances, you may exercise this right, in particular, if you believe that the personal data we have is not accurate, or you believe that we do not have legitimate grounds for processing your information.
