Our Privacy Policy

Simply put, we respect your privacy. Under no circumstances will PosiPeople invade your privacy. Please read below for furhter details.


User Information

Information We Collect
PosiPeople collects user submitted account information such as name and email address to identify you and send you notifications related to the use of the service. PosiPeople also collects user submitted location information such as city, state or zip. PosiPeople also collects user submitted photos, reviews, and ratings of content around the web. Some information collected is not explicitly submitted by the user; we log your browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp.

How We Use Your Information
Information such as your full name, profile photo and any personally identifiable information you have included in your profile may be shown to friends or other users primarily in conjunction with content you have contributed. Your full name and email address may also be used when you send an email notification to a friend (such as in an invitation). We may also use your email address to send you updates or news regarding our site, but you may choose not to receive email of this type by editing your preferences in your profile. Additionally, we use your email address to contact you on behalf of your friends (such as when someone sends you a personal message).

Browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp data help us diagnose problems with our server, administer PosiPeople, and otherwise provide the highest possible level of service to you. In addition, we use this information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, their advertising banners.

Transfer of Information
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information. PosiPeople will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes. Further, PosiPeople may share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud, or to enforce or apply the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event of a transfer of ownership of PosiPeople, such as an acquisition by or merger with another company. In such an event, PosiPeople will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

PosiPeople will notify you when information about you may be provided to third parties in ways other than explained above, and you will have the option to prevent such information sharing.

Controlling Your Personal Information
You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) via comments, messages, forums, postings, or in other areas of the PosiPeople network, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in your communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of PosiPeople. Please do not post any personal information on the PosiPeople site or in other areas that you expect to keep private.

As a registered PosiPeople user, you can modify your personal information at any time by editing your “Profile”. Also, upon your request, PosiPeople will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally remove you and your personal information from the site; however, it may be impossible to remove your entry without some residual information being retained by PosiPeople. Registered users who wish to close their account should contact admin at PosiPeople.com.

Links
Our website may contain links to third party websites to which we have no affiliation. PosiPeople does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy polices on these third party websites.


User Contact and Security

Use of Cookies
Like most websites, PosiPeople requires cookies to function properly. Cookies are small text files that reside on a user's computer and identify you as a unique user. We use cookies to refine our site and simplify the user experience. For example, the use of cookies allows registered users to enter our site without explicitly typing in their email address and password every time. You should be aware that PosiPeople cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or any information advertisers may gather from their use of cookies. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the PosiPeople site.

Security
Your PosiPeople account is password-protected. PosiPeople tries very hard to protect our users' information. We use industry standard measures to protect your information that is stored within our database. We limit the access to your information to those employees who need access to perform their job function such as our customer service personnel. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

You hereby acknowledge that PosiPeople is not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.

Emails and Opt-out
Registered members can opt-out of personal messages initiated by friends and users, as well as opt-out of receiving notifications initiated by PosiPeople (note: notification settings can be found under the your profile settings). Unregistered users that do not wish to receive emails may opt-out of receiving any communications by following the instructions contained in all emails.

Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important.

If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the PosiPeople Sites at any time or in any manner. If PosiPeople learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the PosiPeople Sites without verified parental consent, then PosiPeople will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

Special Note to International Users

In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy
In the event that PosiPeople is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.

Changes and updates to this Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised periodically and this will be reflected by the "effective date" below. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes.

Your continued use of the PosiPeople Sites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Notice and any future revisions.

For revisions to this Privacy Notice that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of the personal information you have already provided to us, we will attempt to obtain your consent before implementing such revisions with respect to such information.
