RIPMOBILE.COM PRIVACY POLICY AND
STATEMENT
At RIPmobile.com, we are committed to
protecting your privacy and ensuring
that your personal information is
handled in a safe and responsible
manner.
As part of the normal operation of our
services, RIPmobile.com collects and, in
some cases, discloses information about
you. This Privacy Policy describes the
information we collect about you and
what may happen to that information.
Please read on.
Background
When you trade a cell / mobile telephone
through the RIPmobile web site, it
becomes the property of RIPmobile Inc.
RIPmobile in turn contracts with certain
partner organizations to offer you gift
certificates or other forms of value for
your phone. Per our agreements with the
retailer you pick, RIPmobile Inc. will
send your contact information on to them
so they can send you a gift certificate
for whatever product(s) you have chosen.
Some of these retailers have privacy
policies stated on their web sites,
others may cause you to have to register
/ create an account on their sites.
Please understand that these third party
agents run their businesses on their own
terms and conditions, and RIPmobile.com
cannot control their actions.
Our Privacy Policy
At RIPmobile.com, preserving the privacy
of your personal information is
important to us. We respect your privacy
and have designed an approach to
handling your personal information that
you should find reassuring. This Privacy
Statement explains our commitment to
privacy. RIPmobile.com pledges to our
customers:
RIPmobile.com uses cookies to
personalize your user experience.
Cookies are small pieces of information
that are stored by your browser on your
computer's hard drive. Most web browsers
are automatically set to accept cookies.
To change this, or to show a warning
each time a cookie request is received,
please review your browser's guidelines.
USE OF COOKIES IS REQUIRED TO UTILIZE
RIPmobile.com. Our cookies expire
automatically.
We will not sell, publish, or divulge
information about your transaction to
anyone outside of RIPmobile.com and the
specific retail partners whom you have
selected for gift certificates or
product offers.
We offer a complete and straightforward
explanation of how we use information
collected from donors.
We provide an anonymous way to recycle
your old cell / mobile phones if you
wish via the www.RIPmobile.com web site.
To donate your phones anonymously,
simply leave all of the contact
information blank. Of course, this will
also make it impossible for us to
acknowledge your donation.
Our Use of Information Collected:
-
Our donation forms ask for contact
information (e.g. name, address and
email address). You would enter that
information on the blank form you fill
in on our site. You would provide your
contact information via that form and
send the form with the cell / mobile
phones you are trading with us by
mail. The donor information is shared
with the retail organization you
picked to receive gift certificates
from. The contact information is also
used to contact customers in the rare
cases when partial information makes
that necessary (for example: phones
were entered incorrectly into the web
site - affecting pricing of the trade
offer made on line).
-
The information you provide is used to
enhance your experience with
RIPmobile.com. We occasionally use it
to update you on our products and
services. We will also occasionally
notify you of special offers from
RIPmobile.com or our merchant
partners. If you never want to receive
any announcements or special offers
from us, simply send us an e-mail at
customerservice@RIPmobile.com.
Data Security
RIPmobile.com ensures that all donations
made through the site are stored on a
secure server, and that this data is
downloaded frequently into a master
database that is kept off-line, further
minimizing any risk for data security.
RIPmobile.com never collects any
information that is confidential, such
as social security numbers, credit card
or bank information.
This Web site contains links to other
sites. We are not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such
Web sites.
Disclosure of Information Collected
In the current regulatory environment,
we cannot ensure that private
communications and other personally
identifiable information will never be
disclosed in ways not otherwise
described in this Privacy Statement. By
way of example (without limiting the
foregoing), we may be compelled by
statute or court order to disclose
information to the law enforcement or
third parties in some circumstances, or
third parties may unlawfully intercept
or access transmissions or private
communications. We can (and you
authorize us to) disclose any
information you provide to us, as we are
required to do by court order or law as
we, in our sole discretion, believe
necessary or appropriate, in connection
with an investigation of fraud,
intellectual property infringements, or
other activity that is unlawful or may
expose us to legal liability. We use
industry standard practices to protect
your privacy, but we cannot guarantee
and you should not expect that
information you provide or private
communications will remain private under
these circumstances.

Privacy Statement, please contact us via
