Privacy Policy

At Machineu, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We ask all users to carefully read this "Privacy Policy" to understand how their personal and business information will be handled, so they can fully utilize our services. This policy applies only to the marketplace network operated by Machineu, and not to any other companies.

Machineu collects information from users when they register to access our services or provide personal and business details in specific situations. During registration, we may ask for personal details such as the user’s name, email address, business information, and other relevant information. Once registered, users will no longer be anonymous to Machineu, and they will be considered to have granted Machineu the right to publish necessary business and personal information across the marketplace, including but not limited to business directories, trade leads, and catalogs.

When you are asked to provide personal information while on our network, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the information will only be shared with Machineu. Some promotional activities on our network may be sponsored by third-party companies or jointly sponsored by Machineu and others. Data collected during these promotions may be shared with sponsors. If you prefer not to share your data, you can choose not to participate in these activities.

We also collect usage statistics such as pages viewed, unique visitors, browser type, screen resolution, and other data to analyze and improve your experience with our services.

The primary purpose of collecting personal and public information is to provide users with a personalized experience on our website network. This includes offering customized services, interactive communication, and other features, most of which are free, while others are paid. Business information is used to display user business listings or products on our network, maximizing commercial opportunities for users.

To offer free services, Machineu displays advertisements based on website usage statistics and visitor trends. We use personal and business information to target ads through our website, newsletters, and personalized emails. Additionally, once your personal and business information is displayed on our network, you may begin receiving commercial inquiries via email, phone, or text from buyers and sellers, some of whom may or may not be relevant to your business. Machineu does not control the commercial inquiries sent to listed members by other users.

We track user purchasing and browsing activities, including contact information and profiles, to provide enhanced services to our users.

In general, Machineu does not disclose or share any personally identifiable information about users without their consent, except under special circumstances where Machineu believes in good faith that the law requires it or as permitted by this policy.

To prevent email address harvesting, Machineu will not display users’ email addresses on the marketplace.

In special cases, Machineu may disclose account information when there is reason to believe it is necessary to identify, contact, or take legal action against individuals who may be violating Machineu’s terms of service, or to protect Machineu’s rights or property, or to safeguard other users of Machineu’s network. Collected personal information may be transferred and shared in the event of a business sale.

Machineu may periodically send emails to users regarding our products and services. We continually work to improve our marketplace tools to enhance efficiency, relevance, and the innovation of business matches and personalized preferences. We provide various matching tools to users for establishing relevant business contacts. In some cases, Machineu may allow third-party products and services to be promoted to users if they appear relevant, or if a user has shown interest in a product through our paid buyer-seller contact service. Users can control their information-sharing settings through the management panel at https://uc.machineu.com/login.php. Only Machineu, its registered members, or authorized agents bound by confidentiality agreements can send direct mail to users.

The relevance of user interactions is based on the information users seek or offer.

Users may edit their account details and profiles by logging into our website or by sending a request to service@machineu.com. Due to verification procedures and server caching, changes may take up to 30 days to reflect online.

User accounts may be deleted or deactivated, but doing so will prevent users from accessing member-only areas of the network. Remaining information may be retained in our archival records.

Like all information, Machineu does not sell data in bulk to third parties for telemarketing, mass mailings, or any other misuse. Machineu does not sell personal or business information without user consent. Any statistics provided to potential advertisers or partners regarding the use of products or services on Machineu’s network are provided only in aggregate form, excluding personally identifiable information. Users can review their contact-sharing permissions by logging into https://uc.machineu.com/login.php.

We advise users to log out of their Machineu accounts and close browser windows after use, especially when sharing a computer or using one in a public space, to prevent unauthorized access to their personal or business information.

Machineu takes reasonable measures within commercial practicality and necessity to ensure the secure handling of users' information.

Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While Machineu strives to protect user information, the security of data transmitted to Machineu is at the user’s own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will make every effort to ensure system security. Please be aware that any personal or business information you post publicly online may result in unsolicited messages from others.

This policy may change from time to time, so please review it regularly.
