Disclosure of your Personal Information

We may use third parties to assist us in providing our services, and we may provide personal information to these third parties. However, we will only share personal information with third parties if they agree to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and to use this information only in connection with providing services to us and assisting us in providing our services. These other entities may use and disclose information as provided in this Privacy Policy.

We may obtain your consent to disclose your personal information to a third party, in which case we will limit our disclosure and the use of your personal information only to the purposes for which we obtain your consent. If we disclose your personal information to a third party with your consent, then this information will become subject to the privacy policy or other privacy commitments, if any, of that third party.

We may use your information to gather and provide aggregated or statistical information that is not personally attributable to you. For example, we may aggregate certain information regarding use of the services so that your usage of the services is not discernable from the aggregate usage of our services. We may use and share with third parties any information that we derive from personal information but that is not personally identifiable to you.

Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which BuyGoods Inc or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this Website, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

Security of your Personal Information

BuyGoods.com is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
