Who is collecting your information

When you are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Virtually Sullivan alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. However, some activities will, by their very nature, result in your personal information being revealed to other users. For example, when you enter personal information in a Classified Ad or a Community Forum post.

Net Engineers, Inc. may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who  may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights or property of the Net Engineers, Inc., other users of Virtually Sullivan, 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 Virtually Sullivan, but you will not be able to access areas or use features that require you to submit personal information, such as posting ads.

You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services of Virtually Sullivan that require registration in order to participate. You can still use most of the features of Virtually Sullivan even if you do not accept cookies.

Net Engineers, Inc. does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular service.

How you can access, update or delete your information

We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may edit or delete your ads at any time by clicking on the appropriate link or graphic provided by the system.

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

Other than the administrators of Virtually Sullivan or other authorized personnel of Net Engineers, Inc., you are the only person who has access to your personal information. Your account is password-protected to help prevent unauthorized access.

We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Net Engineers, Inc. will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Net Engineers, Inc. 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 Net Engineers, Inc. protects children's privacy

Virtually Sullivan is a general audience web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. Net Engineers, Inc. does not share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, Net Engineers, Inc. will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 13.

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 that is accessible to the public, 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.
