Please consult the other sites' privacy policies as MEDIABUYS has no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

Also, in the event that MEDIABUYS or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
Children's Guidelines
MEDIABUYS does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, nor does it contact children under the age of 13 about special offers or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission. MEDIABUYS encourages parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet use. Also, MEDIABUYS strongly encourages parents to help MEDIABUYS enforce its Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide personal information on the Website without permission.
It is possible that due to fraud or deception by others, MEDIABUYS may unknowingly receive information pertaining to children under the age of 13. If MEDIABUYS is notified of this, once MEDIABUYS has verified the information, MEDIABUYS will promptly obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from its servers. If you want to notify MEDIABUYS of its receipt of information in relation to children under the age of 13, please visit our contact page.

Exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. As these forums are public and open for users to interact with each other, MEDIABUYS expects all its users to respect the rights of others.
Consent to International Information Transfers
The Website is operated in the United States. While MEDIABUYS is committed to providing your information with a high level of privacy protection, you should know that the general level of protection for personal information in the United States may not be the same as that provided in other countries.
