It also has information about how we store, use, transfer and delete that information. Our aim is not just to comply with privacy law and also earn your trust.Information We Collect & How We Use It
In order to give you the best possible usage experience of DaaZ, we collect information from your interactions with our network. Some of this information, you actively tell us (such as your email address, which we use to track your account or communicate with you). Other information, we collect based on actions you take while using DaaZ, such as what pages you access and your interactions with our product features (like Buy, Sell, and Auction services). This information includes records of those interactions, your Internet Protocol address, information about your device (such as device or browser type), and referral information.
We use this information to:- Provide, test, improve, promote and personalize DaaZ Services
- Fight spam and other forms of abuse
- Generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how people use DaaZ Services
When you create your DaaZ account, and authenticate with a third-party service (like Twitter, Facebook, Google or LinkedIn) we may collect, store, and periodically update information associated with that third-party account. We will never publish through your third-party account without your permission.
Information Disclosure
DaaZ won’t transfer information about you to third parties for the purpose of providing or facilitating third-party advertising to you. We won’t sell information about you. We may share your account information with third parties in some circumstances, including:
- With your consent.
- To a service provider or partner who meets our data protection standards.
- With academic or non-profit researchers, with aggregation, anonymization, or pseudonymization.
- When we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a summon or other legal process.
Data Storage
DaaZ uses third-party vendors and hosting partners, such as DigitalOcean / Amazon, for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run DaaZ. We maintain two types of logs: server logs and event logs. By using DaaZ Services, you authorize DaaZ to transfer, store, and use your information in the United Kingdom and any other country where we operate.
Tracking & Cookies
We use browser cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you return to our Services. We use them in various ways, for example to log you in, remember your preferences (such as default language), evaluate email effectiveness, allow our paywall and meter to function, and personalize content and other information.
DaaZ doesn’t track you across the Internet. We track only your interactions within the DaaZ network (which encompasses DaaZ.com and custom domains hosted by DaaZ). Some third-party services that we use to provide the DaaZ Service, such as Google Analytics, may place their own cookies in your browser. This Privacy Policy covers use of cookies by DaaZ only and not the use of cookies by third parties.
DaaZ complies with the “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) standard recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium. For logged-out users browsing with DNT enabled, DaaZ’s analytics will not receive data about you, but we will do some first-party tracking in order to customize content and provide data to third-party service providers that enable DaaZ Services to work. When you use DaaZ while logged-in to your account, we cannot comply with DNT. Here’s some more information about DaaZ’s Do Not Track policy.

But, if you delete your account, your information and content will be unrecoverable after that time. DaaZ may preserve and maintain copies of your information when required to do so by law.
Data Security
We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.
Business Transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization or sale of assets such that your information would be transferred or become subject to a different privacy policy, we’ll notify you in advance so you can opt out of any such new policy by deleting your account before transfer.

Sometimes we’ll send you emails about your account, service changes or new policies. You can’t opt out of this type of “transactional” email (unless you delete your account). But, you can opt out of non-administrative emails such as digests, newsletters, and activity notifications through your account’s “Settings” page. When your interact with an email sent from DaaZ (such as opening an email or clicking on a particular link in an email), we may receive information about that interaction. We won’t email you to ask for your password or other account information. If you receive such an email, please send it to us so we can investigate.
Changes to this Policy
DaaZ may periodically update this Policy. We’ll notify you about significant changes to it. The most current version of the policy will always be here and we will archive former versions of the policy here.
