4. Reasonable Protection of Information

We employ commercially reasonable and industry-standard security measures — both electronic and physical — to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure proper use of information.

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We strive to protect your information, although we cannot ensure the security of information transmitted to us.

We will never ask for your email password, online bank credentials or other sensitive information. Do not share these with anyone claiming to be from BuyFyn.

We recommend registered users to not share their account password and to sign out when they have completed their work — especially on shared or public computers.

We and our partners may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, mobile device IDs, "flash cookies" and similar technologies to collect and store information regarding your use of the site and track visits to third-party websites.

We also use cookies to recognize your browser software and to provide features such as recommendations and personalization.

Third parties whose products or services are accessible through the site — including social media sites — may also use cookies. We advise you to check their privacy policies. We do not control third-party practices.

6. Data Collection Relating to Children

We strongly believe in protecting the privacy of children. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personally Identifiable Information from persons under 18 years of age, and no part of our site is directed at persons under 18.
