This website (“Site”) is provided by Infinite Mass, Inc. (“Owner”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our website (the “Site”) and our products and services (the “Services”). References to “personal information” or “information” in this Privacy Policy refers to information that can be used, indirectly or directly, to identify you, and which qualifies as “personal information” or “personal data” under the data privacy laws applicable to you. This Privacy Policy applies to the website on which it is posted, and all subdomains, other websites, applications, widgets, products, services, and other Services owned and operated by Owner (including its affiliates) that link to this Privacy Policy.
By using this Site, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not disclose any personal information through our Services.
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may be entitled to exercise additional consumer rights and request additional information regarding our privacy practices relating to your personal information. Please see the “Consumer Privacy Rights Under State Laws” section for more information.
If you are a resident of the European Union, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, you may be entitled to exercise additional rights as a data subject and request additional information regarding our privacy practices relating to your personal information. Please see the “Consumer Privacy Rights in the European Union, Switzerland, and the U.K.” section below for more information.
By using the Site you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on the Site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. In some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access our websites or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
When you visit the Site, you may provide us with two types of information: (1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis, and (2) personal information that is automatically collected along with website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse the Site.
You do not need an account to post listings, browse listings, or respond to listings.
If you choose to create an account and/or use our Services, we may collect personally identifiable information that you submit such as your name, contact data (address, email address, phone number) and other information that you enter into the Services. Likewise, we may also collect additional personally identifiable information that you voluntarily include in your listings or transmit with your communications to us.
The information that you provide when you post a listing is displayed in public areas and available to all visitors. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information, so please exercise caution. We also provide you with the option to submit pictures and/or a description of your item or service. When you post your listing on the Site, the description and pictures are displayed on the Site and accessible to visitors on the Site.
If you provide personal information to a buyer or seller (either directly or by circumventing our messaging system), we have no control over how that information might be used by the recipient.
Similar to other commercial websites, the Site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?"), web server logs, along with web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar tracking technologies, to collect information about how the Site is used. Information gathered through cookies, web server logs, and associated technologies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at the Site, and the websites visited just before and just after the Site. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies providing services to us, may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for business purposes, including (without limitation) administering and expanding the Site and the Services, in each case as permitted by applicable laws. More specifically, we use personal information to provide the Services; provide customer services; troubleshoot problems with the Site and Services; encourage safe buying and selling and enforce our policies; customize your experience, measure interest in our services, improve our services; and do other things for you as described when we collect the information. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to the Site and/or the Services.
We store personal information for as long as you use our Services or as may be necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected or for legitimate business purposes. For example, we retain information where we are required by law, or if we are compelled to do so by a court order or regulatory body. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties without your explicit consent except as provided in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that a listing or other content violates the rights of others, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. We may also share personal information with service providers who help with our business operations, and third-party websites and publishers so the listings (or the content of the listings) published on the Site can also be published on a broader array of websites.
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. Such cookies are subject to the terms provided by our business partners.
As you use the Site, the website uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. Cookies, in conjunction with our web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting the Site and which parts of the Site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve the Site and better serve our customers.
The Site contains links to other websites on the Internet. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the information collection and use and privacy practices of such other websites and third parties. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every other website that may collect your personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us from the Site.
We engage service providers to perform tasks on our behalf, and we need to share your information with them in order to provide products or services to you. For example, we may also use a software vendor to assist us in measuring the effectiveness of our advertising. We use third party companies to serve advertisements when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to the Site in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to the Site, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer or use other technologies such as pixel tags. These companies have their own policies as to record keeping and data retention. If you would like to know your choices about not having this information used by advertising companies, please click here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/, or visit the site of the third-party company as applicable.
We use Google Analytics on the Site; information on how this collects and processes data can be found at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. In addition, we have enabled certain Google Analytics advertising features that utilize cookies. These features enable us to obtain certain demographic and interests data for visitors to the Site. You can opt out of these features by visiting https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any dissolution.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to the Site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.
We may employ procedural and technological security measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your personally identifiable information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. We may use secure socket layer and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information.
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our Site, the users of our Site, and/or our affiliated parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our Site, us, or third parties.
If you have an account for our Services, you may update, correct or delete information about you at any time by logging into your online account and modifying the settings/information in your profile. If you wish to delete your information, you can do so in two ways:
Note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may also retain cached or archived copies of information about you for a certain period to the extent required by law.
In addition to the rights described in this Privacy Policy, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as well as privacy laws in Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia (collectively, “State Privacy Laws”), provide consumers residing in that state certain additional rights with respect to their personal information. If you are a resident of a state that has enacted State Privacy Laws, this section applies to you as indicated. This section also applies to residents of the above states who are interacting with the Owner in a business or commercial capacity.
In the preceding twelve months, we have collected and used the following categories of personal information as described below:
Category | Examples | Shared With (Service Provider, Government Entities, Business Partners, or Other) | Processing Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
A. Identifiers | A real name, alias, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers. | Service providers and advertising and marketing partners. | Internal processing purposes and advertising/marketing purposes |
B. Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)). | A real name, postal address, or telephone number. Some personal information included in this category may overlap with other categories. | Service providers. | Internal processing purposes |
D. Commercial information. | Records of products or services that you have purchased, considered, or otherwise used on our Site. | Service providers and advertising and marketing partners. | Internal processing purposes and advertising/marketing purposes |

G. Geolocation data. | Approximate physical location or movements based on Internet information. | Service providers. | Internal processing purposes |
Note that if you place an order for Services and/or pay a fee, we will collect additional payment and billing information from you, such as your credit/debit card information. We do not store or retain sensitive information such as full credit card or debit card numbers, bank account information, or other financial information that could be used directly to access a person's financial account; however, we do store the transaction tokens that can be used to retrieve, and in some cases submit, information associated with your transaction to our service providers (such as the last four digits of a payment card).
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Notice of Information Collected and/or Disclosed for “Sales” or “Sharing”
State Privacy Laws require that we notify you if we use your personal information to display advertisements to you based on personal information obtained from your activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications.
Specifically, the CCPA requires that we notify you about personal information that we “sell” or “share.” Under the CCPA, “sale” means the disclosure of personal information to third parties in exchange for valuable consideration, while “sharing” means the disclosure of personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We use your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising to allow our advertising partners to collect certain information to show you targeted advertisements, which may be considered both “sharing” and a “sale” under the CCPA, and may be deemed “targeted advertising” under other State Privacy Laws. For purposes of the CCPA, we do not knowingly sell or share personal information under the age of 16. To opt out of these activities, please see “Consumer Rights Under State Privacy Laws” below.
In the preceding twelve months, we have “shared” the following categories of personal information with the following categories of third parties:
Category | Examples | Shared With |
---|---|---|
A. Identifiers. | An alias, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers. | Advertising and marketing partners and service providers. |
D. Commercial information. | Records of products or services that you have purchased, considered, or otherwise used on our Site. | Service providers and advertising and marketing partners. |
F. Internet or other similar network activity. | Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement. | Advertising and marketing partners and service providers. |
In addition to the above, we may also process personal information such as protected classification characteristics under California or federal law, geolocation data, professional or employment related information, and other categories of personal information listed in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e), to the extent that such personal information is included in messages that you send using our Services (collectively, “Consumer Information”). We do not sell Consumer Information, nor share Consumer Information with any third parties except to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you.
Consumer Rights Under State Privacy Laws
Subject to certain limitations, consumers granted rights under State Privacy Laws have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, and disclose, (2) request deletion of your personal information, and/or (3) request correction of your personal information. You may make these requests by calling NUMBER or submitting this webform (https://www.classifiedads.com/feedback.php). We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your rights under applicable State Privacy Laws.
Consumer Rights under the CCPA
Under the CCPA, consumers have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
If we deny your request, you may appeal our decision by contacting us using the contact methods provided in the preceding section. If you have concerns about the result of an appeal, you may contact the attorney general in the state where you reside.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
The rights above may be limited in some circumstances—for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in maintaining.
Opt-Out Preference Signals
Some browsers allow you to enable privacy-controls in the browser’s settings to automatically signal your opt-out preference to the websites you visit (e.g., Global Privacy Control). As of the date on which this Privacy Policy was last updated, however, there is no standardized DNT signal, and so no uniform technological standards for recognizing and implementing such signals. As such, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals or similar signals. If you do not wish to be tracked, you may also be able to opt out by selecting certain options in the settings browser or device that you use to access the Services, or by using certain third-party applications and programs.
If you use the Site, are located in Europe, and are subject to any one of (i) the General Data Protection Regulation, (ii) data protection laws implemented by member states of the EU in harmony with the General Data Protection Regulation, or (iii) the U.K. Data Protection Act of 2018, as amended and incorporated into U.K. law (collectively, the “GDPR”), the following applies with respect to your rights to exercise control over your personal information. Under the GDPR, you are a “Data Subject” and we are a “Data Controller” for any information that constitutes “personal information” under the GDPR that is processed under this Privacy Policy.
If you are not a Data Subject, the provisions in this section do not apply to you.
Lawful Grounds for Processing Personal Data of Data Subjects
We rely upon the following legal grounds to process personal information under the GDPR:
Data Transfer Notice
We use servers located in the United States to process your personal information. By using our services, you acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to transfer your personal information for processing in the United States. Under the GDPR, the transfer of personal information to a country outside the EU may take place where the European Commission has determined that the country ensures an adequate level of protection. The transfer of your personal information to the United States in the absence of an adequacy decision by the European Commission is made because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or with your explicit consent.
Retention of Personal Data
Pursuant to the GDPR, we will permanently erase your personal information at such time there is no lawful basis or legal obligation for us to store or process the personal information.
Individual Rights and Data Subject Requests
If you are a Data Subject and we process your personal information, you may exercise certain rights under the GDPR, which are described below. We will endeavor to respond to any requests within the period required by law, but in some instances it may take longer. We will inform you within the period required by law if an extension is necessary and the reason for the delay.
To exercise your lawful rights as a Data Subject (enumerated below), please contact us as specified below, and provide specific and detailed information about your request necessary for us to respond to and carry out your request.
In addition to the rights granted by applicable laws, you may submit a complaint about our processing of your personal information to your national data protection regulator.
