DATA SHARING AND TRANSFERS

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries Fastweed controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

• Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with affiliated businesses such as Marketplace sellers. These businesses operate stores at Fastweed.com or sell offerings to you at Fastweed.com. A third party is involved in all your transactions, and we share personal information related to those transactions with that third party.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include software development, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
• Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please use the one-click unsubscribe function in any email communication.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Fastweed, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of Fastweed and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Fastweed, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
• With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

THE SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Fastweed's host servers which processes and stores its databases are located within the US. We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. Fastweed uses appropriate technical, physical, legal and organizational measures, which comply with data protection laws to keep all personal information secure and to protect same against unauthorized and unlawful access and processing or accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, use or disclosure.

As most of the personal information we hold is stored electronically we have implemented appropriate IT security measures to ensure this personal information is kept secure.

Fastweed has deployed a sophisticated security architecture comprising the latest server, database, backup and firewall technologies to protect our information assets. All data resides in a tightly controlled, secure data center. That architecture ensures that information about the identity and preferences of our individual members is never accessible to anyone outside Fastweed. We will maintain safeguards to protect the security of these servers and your personally identifiable information. We also train our staff regularly on data protection and information security.

We do not store, access or process our customer credit card information. We use third party payment and subscription billing services for those purposes when applicable. We only use services that are PCI compliant and that maintain the highest security measures to protect your information. If you need more info about our third party providers please send us an email at privacy@fastweed.com.

Fastweed accounts require that you log in with an email address and password. Where we have given you or where you have chosen a password for access to the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and for securing your login credentials from unauthorized use by a third party. We request you not to share your password with anyone else. All account passwords are encrypted. We cannot see your password; we can only help you reset it. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

All of our system-to-system communications as well as human to system communications for the purposes of customer support, analytics and email sending is done through secure, encrypted channels. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any personal information you might have sent to us has been compromised), please immediately notify us at: privacy@fastweed.com.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which we collect it and always in accordance with any applicable statutory data retention periods. The exact time period will depend on the purpose for which we hold your information but in no event this period will be longer than 12 months upon cancelation of your account.
