MicBid.com does not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our services.

Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot guarantee that all of your private personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the law enforcement with subpoena or government under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

By entering into our User Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other users' personal information that you obtain through the Site or through a MicBid Bulletion Board or MicBid-facilitated transaction, MicBid hereby grants to you a license to use such information only for: (a) MicBid-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, (b) using services offered through MicBid and (c) any other purpose that a user expressly agrees to after you tell them the purpose you would like to use it for. In all cases, you must give users an opportunity to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this Section, can you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without our consent and the consent of that user. You agree that other users may use your personal information to communicate with you in accordance with this Section.
