Before you access or use any of our services we encourage you to read the entire Privacy Policy. A short summary is below:
We take your privacy very seriously and we work hard to earn and keep your trust. As such, we adhere to the following basic principles to protect your privacy:
1. Please Read the Whole Policy
This Privacy Policy governs PostID’s information management policies including how PostID gathers, stores or shares your information, if at all. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is gathered or collected offline. By using the Site and by submitting information to PostID, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and to any other applicable terms. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with a clear explanation of how, when, and why we collect and use your personal information, as well as an explanation of your legal rights. Nothing in this policy is intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us or any rights you have under applicable data privacy laws.
From time to time, we may develop new or offer additional services. If the introduction of new services results in any material changes in the way we collect or process your information, we will provide you with more information and update this policy. Your continued use of this Site after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
2. What Information Is Collected?
The second type of information we collect is individually identifiable information, meaning information that can identify an individual or may, with reasonable efforts, lead to the identification of an individual (“PII”). PII collected by PostID consists of contact details provided by users when contacting us through the Site or setting up a user account (e-mail address, full name, phone number, physical address), usernames on any social networks, your registration date on the Site, and any other PII provided directly by visitors to PostID or through linked social networks. If any Anonymous Information is linked to PII, it is treated as PII as long as the connection exists.
3. How Is Information Collected?
PostID collects information about you only if we have a reason for such collection, such as to provide the services, to communicate with you, or to improve our Site. Information is collected in three ways:
(a) Information collected automatically through accessing the Site. When you visit the Site (or any website), your actions while your browse the Site or access any links, either directly through the Site or with the help of third-party services such as cookies, are tracked. Learn more about how we use cookies and third-party services in Section 7 below. Examples include details of your visits to our Site (traffic data, location data, and other communication data and resources that you access and use on the Site), and information about your computer and internet connection (including IP address, operating system, and browser type).
(b) Information you provide PostID. When you contact us directly or create a user account we collect the PII you provide us. We may also store all communications you have directly with us such as sending a help request or responding to a survey.
(c) Information obtained from outside sources. If you link a social network to the Site we may be able to see your User ID, and the quantity and frequency of your posts. You can learn more about these practices in Section 7 below.
4. Why Is Information Collected and When is it Shared?
We use the information we collect (both Anonymous Information and PII) to operate and improve the Site. The information enables us to estimate our audience and usage patterns, store information about preferences, speed up searches, and recognize you when you return to the Site.
In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, Anonymous Information and PII may be among the transferred assets.
We may disclose Anonymous Information and PII to contractors, service providers, and other third parties used to support our business, these third parties will be bound by contractual confidentiality obligations.
PostID will not sell, license, rent, or otherwise disclose your PII except as stated herein, unless under the following circumstances: (1) you have affirmatively given your consent; (2) we previously notified you of the disclosure in this Privacy Policy or when you provided your information on the Site; (3) we are compelled by law, legal process, or court order to disclose; (4) disclosure is required to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may cause harm to, or interference with, PostID’s rights or property, our users, or anyone else; or (5) to respond to an inquiry, request or complaint that you have made. PostID may cooperate with Internet service providers to identify users whenever required to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or our Terms, or to protect the Site, our customers and others.
5. Where is Information Stored?
PostID uses industry standard technologies to safeguard and encrypt your data (both Anonymous Data and PII) from unauthorized use and disclosure and to prohibit possible security breaches of the Site. Unfortunately, no website, application, computer system or online communication is completely secure. PostID cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of the Site is at your own risk.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Data will be maintained, processed and stored by PostID in the United States of America or other jurisdictions, as necessary, for proper delivery of the services or as required by law. PII is kept only as long as necessary to provide you with access to the Site and for legitimate and essential business purposes.
6. Requesting Deletion of Information and Your Rights
Please note that permanently deleting your PostID Site information erases all your information from our system. After completing this process your data will be removed permanently, and PostID will not be able to restore your data in the future.
Residents of certain states, such as California, Nevada, Colorado, Virginia and Utah may have additional rights. Please see Section 10 below.
This site is not intended for residents outside of the United States.
7. Cookies and Third-Party Providers
Some features and advertisements on the Site in the future may contain “cookies” or similar preference-tracking technologies. A cookie is a small data file stored by your Internet browser, provided that your computer is set to accept cookies. Cookies help improve the user experience by identifying and gathering information about a user, their browser and preferences for websites they have already visited. The use of cookies allows us to better understand how our users interact with the Site so we can work to improve your user experience.
Most modern Internet browsers allow you to change your settings to prevent the storage of new cookies, receive warnings prior to their storage, or to delete cookies from your computer altogether. Please review your browser’s instructions for more information. Please be aware that if you choose to disable cookies, some portions of the Site may cease functioning properly.
If you choose to opt in to receive communications from a third party, any information you provide to the third party, will be subject to their privacy policy. If you later decide to opt out, you should contact the third party directly.
Where permitted by local data laws, PostID may disclose or otherwise allow others to access your PII pursuant to a legal request, such as a subpoena, legal proceedings, search warrant or court order, or in compliance with applicable law. If we have a good faith belief that the law requires disclosure, we may disclose your PII, with or without notice to you.
This Site is NOT directed towards children under the age of 16. PostID recognizes the importance of maintaining the privacy of children, especially those under the age of 16. PostID is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding children, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 6501, et seq.
Except in limited circumstances allowed by COPPA, PostID does not and will not knowingly request, collect, store, maintain, or share any personally identifiable information of children under the age of 16, without first obtaining the consent of a legal guardian. In those limited instances, PostID will only collect reasonably necessary information, and PostID will not share with third parties any personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 16 without the explicit consent of a legal guardian, or as permitted by COPPA or other applicable law.
9. Notification of Changes
PostID may at any time and in its sole discretion, add, modify, or remove any feature, function or portion of the Site, the Terms, and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, with or without notice to you, prior or otherwise. Any changes to the Privacy Policy will be effective as of the posting date. PostID will provide prominent notice on the Site of any major changes to the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Site after PostID posts any modifications to the Privacy Policy shall be deemed your explicit acceptance of those modifications and shall constitute your agreement to comply with the Privacy Policy, as modified.
