When you post a message, your ShopBox username is visible to other users. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. ShopBox may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the ShopBox Terms of Service. ShopBox may disclose personally identifiable information as our sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, ShopBox may disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email address and company name. ShopBox may share aggregated demographic information with business partners.

ShopBox may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and needs to share your information with them to provide products and services to you. Examples include but are not limited to fulfilling orders, handling billing disputes and collections, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service. ShopBox may share information collected from you with ShopBox Store owners.

ShopBox will not rent, sell or share personal information about you with nonaffiliated parties except as specified in this Privacy Policy to provide products or services you have requested or when ShopBox has your permission. It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the ShopBox Terms of Use, as specified in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by law. In some cases, ShopBox may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. ShopBox will transfer information about you if we are acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, we will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the ShopBox website before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

As part of the buying and selling process, you may obtain another ShopBox user’s email address, shipping address and/or other information. This information should only be used for ShopBox-related communications or for ShopBox-facilitated transactions. ShopBox has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the user, you are not licensed to add any ShopBox user to your email or physical mail list.

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and ShopBox’s ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order, legal process, or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to protect ShopBox’s rights, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity.
