1. Use of Website or Services by Minors
Minors should always get permission from their parents or legal guardians before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet. Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we won't knowingly allow anyone under the age of 13 to provide us any personally identifying information or otherwise use this website to sell or buy; if you're under the age of 13, please don't provide any information about yourself on this website.

2. Collection and Use of Information Provided
In order to maintain and fulfill its purpose through this website, it is necessary to gather information. The information we gather can be summarized as: (1) information from a registered customer to the website when they list a bicycle for sale, perform a search, or inquire about a bicycle listed for sale or about another product or service offered through our website; and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors and registered customers use our website and review blogs, e-mails or other messages. Third-party providers featured on or linked to by our website, such as vendors of products and services offered through our site, may be gathering information, as well, through processes we don't control.

To use certain features on our website, registered customers need to provide limited information about themselves and their interests so that we can tailor the searched information to their needs. This information provided during searches will assist in refining searches and better being able to find the bike or equipment desired. We ask you to provide this information when you perform a search. Some dealers who list bicycles for sale on our site may use third-party service providers to manage their “leads” (inquiries from customers indicating interest in a bicycle for sale). If a dealer utilizes this process, we may also share other information with sellers who advertise on our website that is provided by you during your registration. We may also share information with any co-sponsor of a sweepstakes or promotion in order to effectuate the sweepstake or promotion. If you do not wish for this information to potentially be shared as set forth herein, then let us know immediately by e-mailing us at info@cyclemonkeys.com.

Some of our advertisers also may offer for you to participate in surveys, sweepstakes, contests, free offers or other offers through our website. You also may be asked to follow a link to another advertiser’s website that advertises or otherwise uses our website. If you choose to participate in any of these or follow such link, the privacy statements of those advertisers will govern participation, and we do not in any way control or contribute to those privacy statements. Any inquiries or complaints about these surveys, sweepstakes, contests, free offers or other offers should be directed to the advertiser conducting same.

If we present information to our advertisers about users of the website, it will usually be in the form of aggregate information about our users. Any credit card information you provide to us is secured using industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) encryption and is stored on secure servers as set forth more specifically in the "Security" below. We only use your credit card information for billing you for the products and services you order from us; we do not share this information with anyone unless needed to process the transaction or in compliance with applicable law.

We also may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, our customers, the public or cyclemonkeys.com. As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the event that cyclemonkeys.com sells its assets and/or any portion of its assets to another company, information on our visitors would be among the transferred assets.
