Privacy

What kind of personal information does New Day Ad use?

When you post a listing/advertisement, you’ll be asked for your name, address, telephone number, email address, payment details, the names of businesses, and your preferences.

To make it easier to manage your listing/advertisement, you can open a user account. This allows you to save your personal settings, review previous listings/advertisements, and manage future ones.

When you visit our website, even if you don’t make a listing/advertisement, we may collect certain information, like your IP address, or browser, and information about your computer’s operating system, application version, language settings, and pages that have been shown to you. If you’re using a mobile device, we might also collect data that identifies your mobile device, device-specific settings and characteristics, and latitude/longitude details.

We may also receive information about you when you use certain social media services.

Why does New Day Ad collect, use, and share your data?

  • Listing/advertisement: First and foremost, we use your data to complete and administer your online listing/advertisement.
  • Customer service: We provide international customer service 24/7 from our local offices in more than 3 languages. Sharing your details with our global customer service allows for a quick response when you need us – including helping you find appropriate services and any questions you might have about your inquiry.
  • Guest reviews: We may use your contact information to invite you to write a guest review about your experience. This can help other users choose the best product or service.
  • Account administration: We offer a user account facility on our website. We use the information you give us to administer this, allowing you to manage your listing/advertisement, take advantage of special offers, make future listing/advertisements more easily, and manage your settings. Managing personal settings allows you to keep and share lists, share photos, see items you’ve searched for before, and see other information you’ve provided about listing/advertisement. It also allows you to see any reviews you submit about other users’ ads. If you want, you can share certain information in your user account by creating a public profile that’s associated with either your first name or a screen name of your choice. The type of information you can share on this platform includes your photo, the names of places you’ve stayed in, your lists, your plans for future trips, your reviews, and other information about services and products.
  • Marketing activities: We also use your information for marketing activities, as permitted by law. For example:
    • When you make a listing/advertisement with us or set up a user account, we may use your contact information to send you news about similar-related products and services. We also send our customers regular newsletters by email. You can opt-out, out or unsubscribe, from marketing communication at any time.
    • Based on the information you share with us, individualized offers may be shown to you on the New Day Ad website, in mobile apps, or on third-party websites, including social media sites.
    • When we believe that a particular offer may be of interest to you, we may decide to make contact with you by phone.
  • Other communications: There may be other times when we get in touch by email, by post, by phone, or by texting you, depending on the contact information you share with us. There could be several reasons for this:
    • We may need to respond to and handle requests you have made.
    • If you haven’t finalized a listing/advertisement online, we may email you a reminder to continue with your listing/advertisement. We believe that this additional service is useful to you because it allows you to carry on with a listing/advertisement without having to search for the service items again or fill in all the necessary details from scratch.
    • When you use our services, we may send you a questionnaire or invite you to provide a review of your experience with New Day Ad.
    • We may also send you other material related to your listing/advertisement, such as how to contact us if you need assistance while you’re away, or a summary of previous ads you made using New Day Ad.
  • Market research: We sometimes ask our customers to take part in market research. Any additional personal details that you give us as part of the market research will only be used with your consent.
  • Fraud detection and prevention: We may use personal data for the detection and prevention of fraud and other illegal or unwanted activities.
  • Improving our services: Finally, we use personal information for analytical purposes, to improve our services, enhance the user experience, and improve the functionality and quality of our online classified listing/advertisement services.
