1. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED
When you register and when you purchase products we ask for your name, email address, return postage address, credit card account number, name on the card, expiration date and billing address for your account. This information becomes your "permanent" identity. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to Postdroid.
When you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by Postdroid and/or our affiliates we may ask you for additional information (such as gender and date of birth). We also collect information when you purchase other products on our website and when you report a problem with our site or any of our services. If you contact Postdroid we may keep a record of that correspondence. Postdroid occasionally asks users to complete surveys which we use for research purposes. Wherever Postdroid collects personal information we make sure to include a link to our Privacy Policy.
Postdroid also provides an address book tool that allows users to save and organize names and addresses (and other data) of potential product recipients.
2. WHAT WE DO WITH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
Postdroid's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide our users with an efficient and customized online experience. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many other services.
Only Postdroid has access to your account, unless you have been referred to us from an affiliate company, in which case we may be required to share your account information with them. You only receive special offers from us if you have indicated that you would like to receive them.
Postdroid researches user demographics, interests and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during promotions, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand our business and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. Postdroid may share this data with advertisers or business partners.
3. WHO IS COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
Some Postdroid services are offered in conjunction with an affiliate company. To provide this co-branded service to you, your personal information may also be collected by the affiliate company. Any personal information collected by an affiliate company will be subject to their Privacy Policy. If you do not want your personal information to be collected by one of our affiliate companies, you should not use any services provided by that company.
Promotions that run on Postdroid may be sponsored by companies other than Postdroid or may be co-sponsored by Postdroid and another company. Some or all data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If you don't want your data to be shared with a company that sponsors a promotion or contest, do not participate in the promotion or contest.
Postdroid advertisers or websites that have links on our website may collect personally identifiable information about you, which we do not have access to or control. The information practices of those websites linked to Postdroid are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
4. TO WHOM WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION
Postdroid will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission, or under special circumstances such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: Some Postdroid services are offered in conjunction with an affiliate company. In some cases, these affiliate companies refer users to Postdroid or sell products to you at Postdroid. In other cases, we provide services to or sell products jointly with these affiliate companies. We may share customer information related to those transactions with that business.
Agents: Other companies and individuals are occasionally employed to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include: printing products, delivering products to the United States Postal Service, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These other companies have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers: When we send offers to groups of Postdroid customers on behalf of other businesses we do not give them your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Email Preferences. From time to time, you may be given the opportunity to receive special offers from third parties. If you opt-in to receive information from these third parties, Postdroid will share your name and email address with them.
Sponsors: Many promotions request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information you give Postdroid permission to transfer your email address and other personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request.
Products Purchased from Merchants other than Postdroid: If you purchase a product from an outside merchant on our website the information obtained during the purchase is provided to the merchant. This enables sale transactions to take place. Merchants selling products on our website have separate privacy and data collection practices, and you will be subject to the merchant's privacy and data collection policies when you purchase from them. Postdroid has no responsibility or liability for the privacy and data collection practices of independent merchants. For more information regarding a merchant, its website and privacy policies, return to that merchant's home page and click on its privacy policy.
Third Party Data and Data in the Aggregate: Postdroid may disclose aggregated user statistics (for example, "45% of our users are male") to describe our services to prospective affiliates, advertisers and third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In such transactions, customer information is one of the transferred business assets.
Other: Postdroid may also disclose user account and personal information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Postdroid's User Agreement or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Postdroid's rights or property, other Postdroid users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Postdroid may disclose or access account information and your personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
5. YOUR CHOICES IN REGARD TO THE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF YOUR INFORMATION
If you indicated in your Email Preferences that you are interested in receiving offers or information from Postdroid and our affiliates, we may send you emails about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only Postdroid (or agents working on our behalf and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. At any time you can easily edit your account information in Email Preferences under My Account to no longer receive offers and mailings. You will need your ID and Password to access your account information.
In certain Postdroid promotions we use your email address to update you on your score, entries, and status in prize drawings. When you participate in these types of promotions, you automatically receive promotion-related email, unless you choose the no-email option that some promotions offer. Occasionally these promotion-related email messages might include targeted advertisements.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those Postdroid services that require registration to participate. See section 11 for more information.
6. HOW TO ACCESS, UPDATE AND DELETE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You may edit your account information at any time by using your ID and password. If you have forgotten your password, please click here and request Postdroid to email it to you. For all other problems signing in to Postdroid, please click here and complete the email form.
Your Postdroid account can be deactivated, but doing so will result in not being able to print and mail products. To cancel your account and obtain a refund, please complete this email form.
7. THE SECURITY PRECAUTIONS WE TAKE TO PREVENT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM BEING LOST, MISUSED, OR ALTERED
Your Postdroid account information is password-protected so that only you have access. You may edit certain fields in your Postdroid account information using your User ID and password. In order to change your address, purchase products with a credit card that has your new billing address and enter that address on the page.
Do not divulge your password to anyone. Postdroid will never ask for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email. Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence.
Any time we ask for credit card information, we transmit that credit card information in an encrypted format using industry-standard, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption.
8. ADDRESS BOOK INFORMATION
Registered users may create and store personal address books on the Postdroid website. Information a registered user enters into his/her address book is considered strictly confidential and will not be accessed by Postdroid or any of its associates or affiliates. The only exception to this policy is explained in the paragraph entitled "Other" in Section 4 above.
9. CARD CONTENT DATA - IMAGES AND TEXT
Except for products created using the Postdroid, Postdroid is not involved in any way in the design, graphics, content, images or text incorporated in a product. For legal, privacy and practical reasons Postdroid does not and cannot routinely review or attempt to control the content of customer-created products.
The content of each product will be recorded by Postdroid until the product is printed and delivered to the United States Postal Service. After mailing, the data may be maintained on file for the convenience of the member for a period of time before being deleted. Billing and accounting records of transactions will be maintained, but on a confidential basis. Printing quality control will be carried out using test cards and random test systems.
10. CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
Credit card information we obtain is transmitted in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, Postdroid cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security.
Real time authorization, capture and execution of credit card purchases are performed over the Internet via Paypal. In addition to checking for a valid credit card number, the system verifies the billing address to help reduce fraud.
11. WHAT "COOKIES" ARE AND HOW THEY ARE USED
Postdroid uses cookies to store and track information related to you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from our web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Whenever you log-in, our server requires that your computer accept cookies. We use cookies to:
