1. Information We Collect
1.1 Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient,

taxpayer ID, bank account information, etc. to assess your qualifications for registration.
1.3 As part of the User registration process we ask for your company information as well as certain personal
information like name, address and credit card information. Based on what you provide us, we may use this data to
request credit-reporting agencies to provide us information about your business and your personal credit history
when necessary. This not only helps us process your application efficiently and provide superior service, but also
protects our existing members by potentially preventing businesses, which do not meet our quality standards from
joining the BBXxchange Service. Moreover, only authorized and trained BBXchange personnel handle the information
that is collected.

use this information to do internal research on our Users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better
understand and serve our Users. This information is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This information
may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to
(whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address.
1.5 If you choose to buy or sell on the BBXchange Service, we collect information about your buying and selling
behavior.
1.6 If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other Users or third parties send
us correspondence about your activities or postings on the BBXchange Service, we may collect such information into
a file specific to you or your business.

statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings and to customize BBXchange's content,
layout, and services. We believe these uses allow us to improve the BBXchange Service and better tailor it to meet
our Users' needs.
2.2 We use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding administrative
notices, new product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of BBXchange Services. If you do not wish

and in particular, on rare occasions, we may evaluate your information to look for Users using multiple BBXchange
TCredit Accounts or aliases.

3. Our Disclosure of Your Information
3.1 As a general practice, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any
third party. The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be
disclosed.
3.2 The BBXchange Service. Throughout the BBXchange Service, Users can search and view information on other
Users, including business name, contact name and contact information. As a result, other Users and third parties
might send you unsolicited correspondence and be able to identify your activities on BBXchange Service. We also
provide a number of ways to find more out about you and your site activities, such as viewing all of the goods
and services you offer to sell to other BBXchange Members.
3.3 Legal Requests. The Company cooperates with all law enforcement inquires and other third parties to enforce
laws, intellectual property and other rights. Therefore, intellectual property and other rights owners, and local,
state, federal and international law enforcement can request and may receive your personally identifiable information.
3.4 Credit Reporting Agencies. We may disclose your information to credit reporting agencies.
3.5 Suppliers and Other Service Providers. We may use third party Suppliers and Service Providers to facilitate
our services. For example, we may outsource the operations of one or more aspects of the BBXchange Service to a
Supplier or Service Provider who performs services according to our requirements. In some instances, the Service
Provider may collect information directly from you (such as the situation where we ask a Service Provider to
conduct a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the Supplier or Service
Provider, and all information disclosures you make will be strictly optional. In all cases, we restrict how these
Suppliers and other Service Providers may access, use and disclose your information. We do not permit these
Suppliers and other Service Providers to sell your information to third parties.
3.6 Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other
personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this BBXPrivacy Policy.
By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or
third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or
private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or
other government officials 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 illegal or may expose us to
legal liability. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, street address, city, state, zip code,
country, phone number, email, and company information as we in our sole discretion believe is necessary or appropriate
in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity.
Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not
expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will remain private.
4. Your Use of Other Users' Information
4.1 In order to facilitate interaction among all BBXchange Users, our service allows you to access other Users' contact
information. Further, as a seller you will be sent via email or by other online means the BBXchange card number, email
address and other information of the interested buyer(s), and as a buyer you will be sent via email the BBXchange card
number, email address and other information of the seller.
4.2 By entering into our User Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other User's personally identifiable information that
you obtain through the BBXchange Service or through a Barter of America-related communication or BBXchange-facilitated
transaction, you may use such information only for: (a) Barter of America-related communications that are not unsolicited commercial
messages, and (b) any other purpose to which such User expressly consents after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s). In all cases,
you must give Users an opportunity to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected
about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this section, can you disclose personally identifiable information
about another User to any third party without our consent and the consent of such other User after adequate disclosure.
4.3 BBXchange and our Users do not tolerate Spam. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you may not add a BBXchange
User (even a User who has purchased an item from you) to your mail list (email or physical mail) without that User's express
consent after adequate disclosure.
4.4 This web site contains links to other sites. This statement is for the sole use and purpose of BBXchange. Please be
aware that BBXchange is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects your personally identifiable information.
5. Control of Your Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Password.
5.1 You may not disclose or share your BBXchange PIN (also known as "password") to or with any third parties. If
you lose control of your PIN, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally
binding actions taken on your behalf. If your PIN has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your PIN.
Access to your account is password protected
Access to your personal account on-line is password protected. We will NEVER release your account password to any third party,
unless required by law. In the event that you forget your password, you may generate an on-line request to have the password sent to
you by e-mail at the e-mail address used for registration.
6. Reviewing and Changing Your Information
6.1 Following registration, you can review and may be able to change the information you submitted during registration including:
*Your name, company, taxpayer ID, address, city, state, zip code,
country, primary phone number, secondary phone number, fax number
*Your PIN
*Your credit card number and expiration date
6.2 You must promptly update your information if it changes.
6.3 In responding to a request to have your personally identifiable information removed from our databases, you should not expect that
all of your information will be completely removed. In some circumstances, we will maintain your information in order to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. Furthermore, technical constraints (related to database architecture and programming)
prevent us from completely removing such information.
7. Other Information Collectors
7.1 Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this BBXPrivacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are buyers or sellers on our system,
different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. Since BBXchange does not
control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies of that third party. We encourage
you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.
7.2 How we store information… Information is stored at a physically and electronically secure data center or centers. This center or
centers may be located inside or outside the European Union and North America. Direct access to this database is restricted to authorized
BBX.com staff and their appointed agents. BBX.com has taken every reasonable step to ensure that your information
is held securely at all times. What else we may do with the information we gather… We may, from time to time, perform analyses or request
third parties to perform analyses on our behalf on all or part of the transaction data, including personal information, held by us
on all or some of our personal account holders and traders.
8. Security
8.1 BBXchange uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such
as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
