Who is collecting your information

When you are asked for personal information in Rail Swap Free Classifieds, you are sharing that information with Rail Swap Free Classifieds alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise.

With whom your information may be shared

Rail Swap will not sell any of your personal information to any group or organization. Rail Swap will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. Please see the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for detailed information about how your personal information may be shared. To the best of our ability, we will protect your personal information from theft or misuse.

Rail Swap may disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Terms of Service of Rail Swap or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of Rail Swap, other users of Rail Swap, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

What choices are available to you regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information

If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still use some areas of Rail Swap Free Classifieds, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require you to submit personal information, such as posting ads.

Rail Swap does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data is to be shared with a third party, and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer.

The kind of security precautions that are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information

Other than the administrator of Rail Swap Free Classifieds or other authorized personnel of Rail Swap and its internet service provider (Vicon Networks of State College, PA), you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your ads are password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.

We recommend you do not divulge your Rail Swap password to anyone. Rail Swap will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Rail Swap cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

How Rail Swap protects children's privacy

Rail Swap is a general audience web site, but one that is not generally appropriate to use by children. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. Rail Swap does not maintain records of users' ages. We do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users.

What else you should know about your online privacy

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example in ads that you post or through email - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
