Privacy Policy
This theDreamMarket privacy policy ("Privacy Policy" or "Policy")
was first and last modified on August 05, 2012.
Unless otherwise defined in this Policy, terms used in this Policy
have the same meanings as in our TheDreamMarket Terms of Service,
accessible at Term
of Service
. As used in this Policy, the terms "using" and "processing"
information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the
information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling
information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting,
storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining,
disclosing and transferring information within our organization or
among our affiliates within Singapore or
internationally.
theDreamMarket Pte Ltd is the corporate name for theDreamMarket. In
this Policy, we will refer to theDreamMarket Pte Ltd as
"theDreamMarket", "our", "us" or "we."
We take your privacy seriously. We are providing this Policy to
inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection,
use and disclosure of information on our Service. We also want to
inform you about your choices regarding information. If you have
any questions or concerns, please let us know (see "How to contact
us" section below).
Note that this Policy may be modified from time to time at our sole
discretion, so please
check back frequently. We will notify you of any changes to the
Policy by posting a new Policy and updating the "last modified"
date at the top of this page.
1. How we collect information
We collect information in three basic ways:
-
We
collect information that you voluntarily provide to become a
registered User of our Service, and when you use certain aspects of
our Service (e.g., entering an email address on a form to send an
email from your TheDreamMarket account).
-
When
you browse or use our Service, technological tools including "Log
Data" and "Cookies" collect certain information, as explained in
the following section.
2. What information we collect and how we use it
-
Personal Information. When
you register with us through the Service to become a registered
User of theDreamMarket, we will ask you for certain information
about you that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal
Information"). Personal Information may include, but is not limited
to, your name, gender, profile photo, free-form biography,
location/address, website and email address.
We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction
with your "Non-Identifying Information," see below) to provide the
Service to you. For example:
-
-
Account registration. We
create your User account for your use of the Service based upon the
Personal Information you provide.
-
Communications. We
use your Personal Information to contact you with theDreamMarket
newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other
information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any
time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from
us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of
the communications or update your "preferences" information in your
account settings. (See "Your choices regarding information,"
below.)
-
Customer service. We
use your Personal Information to respond to your questions and/or
inquiries.
-
Non-Identifying Information. We
also collect other information that you provide as part of
registration, the operation, and personalization of your boards on
TheDreamMarket that cannot reasonably be used to identify or
contact you (e.g., without limitation, age and individual
preferences) ("Non-Identifying Information"). Certain
Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your
Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers
(for example, combining your postcode
with your street address) in a way that enables you to be
personally identified or contacted. But the same pieces of
information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they
are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Identifying
Information (for example, your viewing preferences) We may combine
your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and
aggregate it with information collected from other theDreamMarket
Users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to
improve the quality and value of the Service and to analyze and
understand how our Service is used. We may also use the combined
information without aggregating it to serve you specifically, for
instance to deliver a product to you according to your preferences
or restrictions.
-
Mobile Software. Our
Mobile Software allows Users to access and use the Service from
their mobile devices. From the Mobile Software, you also have the
option to identify the location of User Content that you wish to
upload to our Service. In addition, in the event that our Mobile
Software crashes on your mobile device, we will receive information
about your mobile device model, software version and device
carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise
improve the performance of our Mobile Software.
-
Log Data. When
you visit the Service, whether as a registered User or a
non-registered User just browsing, our servers automatically record
information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website
("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as the
browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to
our Service, pages of our Service that you visit, the time spent on
those pages, information you search for on our Service, access
times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to
monitor and analyze use of the Service and the Service's technical
administration, to increase our Service's functionality and
user-friendliness, and to better tailor our Service to our
visitors' needs. For example, some of this information is collected
so that when you visit the Service again, it will recognize you and
the information could then be used to serve advertisements and
other information appropriate to your interests. We also use this
information to verify that visitors to the Service meet the
criteria required to process their requests.
-
Cookies. Like
many online services, theDreamMarket uses "cookies" on our Service
to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we
transfer to your computer or mobile device's hard disk. We use
cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize "persistent" cookies to
save your login information for future logins to the Service.
Second, we utilize "session ID" cookies to enable certain features
of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the
Service and to monitor aggregate usage by theDreamMarket Users and
web traffic routing on the Service. Unlike persistent cookies,
session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off
from the Service and then close your browser. You can instruct your
browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to
prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use
all portions of the Service or all functionality of the Service.
(See "Your choices regarding information," below.)
3. Sharing of your information
-
theDreamMarket Users.When
you

will see your name. If you choose to provide additional Personal
Information in your profile, theDreamMarket Users will see such
additional Personal Information, including, but not limited to,
your photo, location, website and biography. Providing additional
Personal Information is voluntary and should correlate with the
degree of interaction you want to have with theDreamMarket Users.
We recommend that you guard and refrain from disclosing any
information you consider sensitive and confidential.
-
Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information. We

Information.

may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our
Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform
Service-related services (e.g., maintenance services, database

may share the information in your theDreamMarket account (including
your Personal Information) with the social networking sites ("SNS")

purpose (unless the SNS has received your Personal Information
independently of the Service) and not for other
purposes.

allow Users to link their Facebook and Twitter accounts to our
Service. Users can then post recent activity on our Service back to
their Facebook and Twitter accounts. You will be prompted to decide

disclosed on your Facebook/Twitter service. You can disable the
foregoing feature at any time by logging into your profile and
selecting the option to disable Facebook Connect and/or Twitter.

selections in your "Edit Profile" settings via the
Service.

cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and
private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We can disclose
any information about you to government or law enforcement
officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe
necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process
including, but not limited to, subpoenas, to protect the property
and rights of TheDreamMarket or a third party, to protect the
safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity
we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal,
unethical or legally actionable activity.
-

on the theDreamMarket Service, including information regarding the
use and storage of your User Content, please see the "Sharing Your
Content" section in our Terms of Service.)
5. Links to other sites and services
Our Service contains links to other third-party websites and online
services. If you choose to visit another website or online service
by clicking on a link, you will be directed to that third party's
website or online service. The fact that we may link to a website
or online service is not an endorsement, authorization or
representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it
an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or
practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites and
online services, and these third parties may place their own
cookies or other files on your computer and collect data or solicit
Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information from you.
Other sites and online services follow different rules regarding
the collection, use and/or disclosure of Personal Information and
Non-Identifying Information. We encourage you to read the privacy
policies or statements of the other websites or online services you
visit before providing any information or using such websites or
services.
6. How we store and protect information
-
Information Security. We
care about the security of your information. We use commercially
reasonable safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of
information collected and maintained through the Service. However,
we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
provide to us or guarantee that information on the Service may not
be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by unauthorized
persons.
-
Phishing. Identity
theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great
concern to theDreamMarket. Safeguarding information to help protect
you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not request your
credit card information, login information, or national
identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or
telephone communication.
-
Breach Notification. We
will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the
security, confidentiality, or integrity of stored "personal data"
(as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach
notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on this
Service in the most expedient time possible and without
unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate
needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to
determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable
integrity of the data system.
7. Our policy towards children's information
This Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not
knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children
under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her
child has provided us with Personal Information without their
consent, he or she should contact us at support@theDreamMarket.com
. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with
Personal Information, we will delete such information from our
files.
