Personal Data Protection

We are committed to user privacy.

This privacy policy covers the http://auction.euro-genes.nl/ website. Although you can browse through most of this website without giving any information about yourself, in some cases, personal information is required in order to provide the services you request. This information is used exclusively to the extent necessary to fulfil a specific purpose. The information will not be re-used for an incompatible purpose and is not shared with or sold to other organizations for commercial purposes, except to provide products or services you've requested when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

• It is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.
• We transfer information about you if we are acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, we will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Information Gathering and Usage

When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, shipping and billing address, or payment information. We use collected information for the following general purposes: products and services provision, shipping, billing, identification, authentication and contact. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the features on this site, but you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.

You can learn more about Google Analytics or opt out if you wish.
