G-serv.co.uk uses the information we collect about you to process orders. When you register at G-serv.co.uk, we collect your name, email addresses, mailing address, credit card number, and expiration date in order to process and fulfill your order. In some instances, products listed are shipped directly from the sellers, and some of your information is shared with these vendors to enable them to fulfill and ship your product.

When you sign up for G-serv.co.uk Auction Alerts, we need only an email address to send you the email topics that you have selected. We also use your email address to send you email notice of your bid and status, and we may use your email address to send you notice of upgrades or changes to G-serv.co.uk, new services, and special offers. You may choose not to receive any of these emails when you register, or at a later date, by accessing G-serv.co.uk Auction Alerts.

G-serv.co.uk offers a service called " Send this Auction to a Friend" that allows you to notify friends about open auctions. If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. We do not save or share your friends email address, they are only used for this one time mailing. Please note, however, that G-serv.co.uk opposes the practice of sending unsolicited commercial emails, also known as "spam". Therefore, we request that you send "Send this Auction to a Friend" emails only to people known by you who may be interested in the auction. If someone asks you not to send these emails to him or her, please comply.

When you bid on an item, you must enter the amount of your bid, your G-serv.co.uk Login ID and your password. Only your initials, city and state and your bid will be publicly available in the Current Winning Bids history.

Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all applicable local laws and rules regarding online conduct and privacy, as well as content. Specifically, but not as a limitation, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding transmission of technical and personal data exported from the Pakistan or the country in which you reside.

Sharing data with third parties
Upon registration with G-serv.co.uk, each of our customers is assigned a random and anonymous customer number, which we use to track the auctions. This customer number is different from any custom login ID selected by you and may be passed to third party vendors with whom we work to provide more efficient and relevant services to our users. Our anonymous customer numbers may be used to measure traffic and visiting patterns on G-serv.co.uk and on other websites on the Internet. We may also compile statistics and other data about our customers on an aggregated basis, and may share such aggregated data with selected third parties. G-serv.co.uk can (and you authorize us to) release any information about you when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, enforce other G-serv.co.uk rights, or protect the rights, property or safety of G-serv.co.uk, the G-serv.co.uk Web site, our users, or others. Further, as permitted by applicable law, G-serv.co.uk can (and you authorize us to) disclose your login ID, name, street, address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email, company and any other information in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy or other unlawful activity whenever G-serv.co.uk in its sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate. In the event G-serv.co.uk goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among assets transferred. You will be notified via email of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

In addition, we may share information about you with third parties as necessary to complete a transaction requested by you or to enable them to provide special opportunities and offers to you. We may share information about you with our business partners, affiliates or other third parties with your approval only. If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer want us to share information you provide with third parties, you may correct, update, or unsubscribe by making the change in My Account located in My Nilaam on G-serv.co.uk, or by contacting our Customer Care department at admin@G-serv.co.uk.

You may choose whether or not to receive Outbid and order processing emails in My Account and in My Mailbox. By registering at G-serv.co.uk, you consent to the collection and use of this information by G-serv.co.uk for order processing, Auction Alert emails, or the sharing of your personally identifiable information to our business partners (with your consent only). In the event of changes in our privacy policy, this page will be updated with the current information.

Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to you by our Web advertising partner, and other third-party advertising companies. Information about your visits to this site, such as number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.

Links
This Web site may contain links to other web sites. We provide these links for your convenience, but we do not review, control or monitor the privacy practices of websites operated by others. We are not responsible for the performance of these sites or for your business dealings with them. Your use of other web sites is subject to the terms and conditions of those web sites, including the privacy policies of those web sites.

How your information is encrypted
There are certain areas on the site where you may enter and submit additional information. Certain of these areas are encrypted using SSL encrypted transmissions between your Web browser and our Web server. This is designed to reduce the chance that someone (e.g. on your network at work or at your Internet service provider) may try to compromise your private information as it travels from your Web browser to our secure server. You'll know when transmitted data is encrypted by a security notice when you enter an encrypted page, and by the presence of an icon on your browser, either a key for Netscape or a lock for Microsoft Internet Explorer. The pages where you submit your account information, place a bid, and receive confirmation of a successful bid are all encrypted. In addition, your credit card information is encrypted within the G-serv.co.uk database and access to such information is restricted. This system is unique and designed to provide you with additional security when purchasing items on G-serv.co.uk.

Protecting your login ID and password
Always keep your G-serv.co.uk account number and password secret. They are your only identification for bidding purposes. If you receive information about a bid you did not place, or questionable communications regarding your account, please contact G-serv.co.uk Customer Support immediately by email. One potential way for someone to steal your login ID and password is if you bookmark any area on My Nilaam or a bid submission page. This is a concern if your browser is available to other people at work, home, or especially if you use a browser at a public internet cafe. You should not bookmark such pages and you should clear the browser cache and quit the browser completely when you are done surfing G-serv.co.uk. We have also worked to protect you against such a mistake. Even if someone obtains both your login ID and password, the system is designed to restrict access to your credit card information because that field is cleared when they log in to My Nilaam.

About SSL, security, and firewall problems
Some older browsers (such as IE 3.0.2) have known SSL bugs. These can result in the browser crashing on SSL pages or giving error messages. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of whatever browser you prefer. For AOL users, you may be able to upgrade your security by downloading and replacing the schannel.dll from Microsoft. For users behind corporate firewalls, you need to configure your web browser security settings. This includes setting https or secure proxy settings. To determine if you have such a security problem, you can edit a secure URL, replacing 'https' (secure) with 'http' (insecure). If the page works with http:// but not https://, then you have a problem with your security settings. You should contact your system administrator for assistance.

Technical Details About Encryption
G-serv.co.uk operates with a VeriSign Digital Server Certificate, featuring cryptographic techniques to reduce the risk that Digital IDs are not forged or tampered with. These techniques, developed by RSA Data Security, use a matched pair of encryption and decryption keys. This use of matched-key cryptography with a 1024-bit key length provides a level of security unavailable with conventional secret key cryptography.
