Last Updated: October 22, 2018

BuyBackWorld.com knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. BuyBackWorld.com respects and values your privacy.

This Privacy Policy details how Dreven Holdings Group Inc (doing business as BuyBackWorld) and the BuyBackWorld.com website (hereinafter referred to as “BuyBackWorld”, “us” or “we”) treats the information that is gathered about you when you use or register on BuyBackWorld’s website, www.BuyBackWorld.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Site”), applications and services (collectively, the “Services” that link to this Privacy Policy). By visiting BuyBackWorld.com, you are accepting and expressly consent to the practices described regarding the collection, use, disclosure and storage of such information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Collection of Information and Use:
When you use the Services, you provide information to us. BuyBackWorld collects two types of information: (1) information that does not by itself identify a specific individual ("Non-personally Identifiable Information") and (2) information that you provide to us that lets us know who you are ("Personally Identifiable Information").

Non Personally Identifiable Information (Cookies):
BuyBackWorld uses cookies solely for internal recordkeeping, external statistics about our users as a whole and aggregating data about the traffic on the Site. We automatically receive and collect Non-personally Identifiable Information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, your browser type, browser language, date and time of your query, BuyBackWorld cookie information, and the pages you request. If you would prefer not to have cookies on your computer, you can block them by selecting that option on your computer and/or internet browser. The Site gathers IP addresses from all visitors to the Site and may use this information in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, research purposes. We may use third-party analytics services to collect, monitor and analyze the information collected as described above.

Personally Identifiable Information:
You can browse the Services' Websites without telling BuyBackWorld who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, when you transact with us (e.g., offer to sell a device), you sign up on the Site to receive email announcements, send an email to BuyBackWorld and/or register as a member, BuyBackWorld may require that you provide certain personally identifiable information which may include, but is not necessarily limited to:

  • first and last name,
  • physical address;
  • zip code; and
  • email address.

We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 on the Site. If we are informed that personally identifiable information has been collected from a person under the age of 13, we will immediately remove the personally identifiable information that may have been inadvertently collected by BuyBackWorld.com. If a legal guardian of a minor under the age of 18 requests the removal of personally identifiable information collected from that minor, we will immediately remove said information.

Once you submit information about yourself to us, you are no longer anonymous to us. BuyBackWorld may also request other personally identifiable information about you when you engage in transactions with the Services, such as: a) provide transaction information when you sell, ship, or purchase an item; b) when you sign up for special offers; c) when you visit the Services’ web pages or the pages of certain BuyBackWorld Partners; d) when you contact us for help or customer support; e) when you log into the Services with your account information; f) when you post content or provide feedback; g) when you enter or sign up for special offers, contests or sweepstakes. BuyBackWorld might also receive information about you from other sources and add it to your account information. Providing information is purely optional on your part; however, not all features and services would be available to you if you elect to not provide information. If you elect to provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information by us. All information provided by you will be treated in the same manner as all other personally identifiable information under this Privacy Policy.
