Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how 234World.com collects, stores, uses and discloses your personal information in connection with the performance of the services that are made available to you through the website.
Other 234WORLD Limited websites operate under similar privacy practices and, subject to the requirements of applicable local law, we strive to provide a consistent set of privacy practices in our portal.
By accepting the User Agreement during the process for registering a 234World.com account or by using the Site, you expressly consent to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information by 234World.com as described in this Privacy Policy.

Collection and Storage                                                               
You can browse the website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, once you give us your personal information, you are no longer anonymous to us.
If you choose to provide us with personal information, you expressly consent to us transferring that information to, and storing it on, servers located in the United States, United Kingdom and Nigeria. As part of this process we may transfer your personal information to 234world Limited. The laws on holding personal data in abroad countries may be less stringent than the laws applicable in Nigeria, but we will transfer and store your information in a safe, confidential and secure environment.
We may collect and store the following personal information about you:

• email address, physical address, telephone number and other contact information, and (depending on the service used) sometimes financial information, such as debit card or bank account details;
• transactional information based on your activities on the website (such as information on your buying or selling activities, item descriptions and other content you generate or information that relates to your account);
• deliveries, billing, and other information you provide to purchase or deliver an item;
• community discussions, chats, dispute resolution, correspondence through the website, correspondence sent to us and feedback;

• supplemental information from third parties (for example: (a) if you incur a debt to us, we will generally conduct a credit check by obtaining additional information about you from a credit reference agency, as permitted by law; (b) if the information you provide cannot be verified, we may ask you to send us additional information (such as a certified copy of your driver's license, debit card statement, and/or a recent utility bill or other information confirming your address), or to answer additional questions to help verify your information.); (c) if you register to use 234World.com services on a third party website, or use a third party website providing a service for 234World.com, or use a website that facilitates your activity on 234World.com, that website may provide personal information about you and your transactions back to 234World.com

Marketing by Third Parties
We don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, we may aggregate your personal information with information on other users and information we collect from other companies (such as demographic data) and disclose such aggregated non personal information to advertisers and other third parties.

The personal information we disclose may include your User ID and User ID history, name, city, county, telephone number, email address, fraud complaints and bidding and listing history or anything else that we deem relevant;

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from 234World.com users who attempt to carry out fraudulent or illegal activities on the website, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to other 234world.com users or third parties without a court order (or in circumstances where we are under a substantially similar legal obligation), except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of such information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm, property damage or financial loss or to report or put a stop to suspected illegal activity.

Data Controller
234WORLD LIMITED is the data controller with regard to the processing of 234World.com users' personal information in the context of registration of new users except for ATM Card processing, which remains with the card issuer.

Account Protection
Your 234World.com password is the key to your 234world.com account. Use unique numbers, letters, and special characters and do not disclose your password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account, including actions that result in fees being charged to your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify us and change your password.

Security
We use standard industry practices, including encryption, passwords and physical security, to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to third parties, whether they are buyers on the website or other websites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of your information. We do not control the privacy practices of such third parties and we encourage you to read their privacy policies and ask questions before you disclose your personal information to them.

General
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on the website. All amended terms shall take effect automatically 5 days after they are initially posted on the website.
