We value the privacy of Site visitors (“you,” “your,” or “user”), and to protect your personal information, we have implemented the following Privacy Policy with provisions that apply to the collection of data by the Site, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact us at info@pinkeep.io.
The following are the rules or "Terms" that govern the type and nature of information we collect, how, when, and why we collect, use, and share information about our users in pinkeep (hereafter referred to as "Site" or “Service” or “Platform”). This policy does not apply to our collection and use of data about companies and contacts contained in our database system. The Privacy Policy also outlines the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. We also explain how any requests for personal or personally identifiable information will be used. Finally, we present our security policy, which outlines how your personal information is protected.
By using or visiting the Site, you expressly agree to be bound by these Terms and to follow these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations governing the Site.
The Privacy Policy may change from time to time, effective immediately upon posting on the Site. Visitors have an affirmative duty, as part of the consideration for permission to using the Site, to keep themselves informed of the changes.
The privacy policies are with respect to those users of the Site ("Visitors") who visit without transacting business, and Visitors who register to transact business on the Site and make use of the various services offered by the Site (collectively, "Services") who are hereafter referred to as ("Authorized Customers" or “Authorized Users” or “Site Members”).
Refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains, including, but not limited to, name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, financial profiles, social security number, national id, and credit card information. Personally Identifiable Information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected to an identified individual.
Maintaining the anonymity of our members is important to us. During registration, members must request a unique screen name that will be publicly attributed (tied) to their use of the Service. Screen names are the key to keeping our members anonymous. We do not share screen names together with Personally Identifiable Information.
The Site uses commonly used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as the Site Members and Web Site Visitors navigate the Site’s Web site ("Web Site Navigational Information").
We store information that we collect automatically through cookies, clear gifs and/or log files. We use this information to create a profile of our members' preferences. We tie Personally Identifiable Information and system use information to member profiles to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content and functionality of the Site.
We aggregate (gather up data across all user accounts) demographic, statistical, historical, and other similar information about our users and members and their use of the Service.
We use screen names to compile and process historical and statistical information about how and when our members use the system. Historical and statistical information includes information about selected actions that our members take while on the system. We will also aggregate (gather up across all member accounts) and store historical and statistical information.
System use information is collected, surveyed, evaluated, and scored by the system to assess the quality of data. Member actions are effectively confirmed or challenged by the later actions of other members. We use this evaluation process to maintain our collaborative, self-correcting system and to promote the development of the most accurate, complete, and up-to-date data possible. Members are objectively rated by the system based upon their actions.
Our system uses points as an incentive and a point balance will be maintained for each member based upon system use information. We may also use this information to add, adjust or discontinue certain services or functionality and to enforce our policies and procedures.
Compiled system use information, member ratings and point balances may be displayed online and shared along with screen names. We do not share such information together with personally identifiable information. System use information may be stored indefinitely but may also be deleted at our discretion.
The Site uses login information, including, but not limited to, IP addresses, ISPs, and browser types, to analyze trends, administer the Site, track a user's movement and use, and gather broad demographic information.
We may collect basic user profile information from all of our Visitors. We collect the following additional information from our Authorized Customers: the names, email and postal addresses, mobile number, and credit/debit card number and expiry date, if subscription plan payments are made.
We use this contact information to reserve the required services, to send you confirmation codes, and if necessary to inform you of updates or changes. If we have trouble processing a request, this contact information is used to get in touch with you. We would use your mobile number only if we needed to contact you urgently or if you had made a mistake entering your details. The financial information is used for billing purposes and to complete your subscription.
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third-party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses, and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect this information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to them from Visitors and Authorized Customers. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them.
All users of our system must complete a registration process. We will collect personally identifiable information during this process that includes name, email address and other personal contact information as indicated. Registration information is kept private and secure. We use this information to process registrations, maintain subscription accounts, contact our users and to provide our services. We do not share registration information together with personally identifiable information.
Member registration information IS NOT automatically entered into our business contact database. Members can choose to enter their own business contact information by separately inputting that data after their account is activated. All members may also be included in the system if entered by another member. However, Pinkeep WILL NOT systematically include registration information in the database unless directed by the registering member.
To open a subscription account, members must enter valid credit card and/or other payment information needed to process their subscription payments. We use this information for identification and verification purposes and to process payments. We may also use this information to contact members about payment processing. When members provide payment information, it is protected using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We do not share credit card or payment information other than to process payments.
Members are encouraged to refer new users. A new user may enter the registered email address of a referring member during registration. We will use email addresses to complete the referral and award referral points. The system will calculate and display the total number of referrals credited to each member, but the screen names of referred members are not displayed to protect their anonymity. We do not share referral information together with personally identifiable information.
Members may choose to complete an optional personal profile. Completion of a personal profile is totally voluntary. We will use this information to customize and personalize the services we provide. We do not share personal profile information together with personally identifiable information.
We may provide members the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys from time to time. Participation in contests or surveys is completely voluntary. If members choose to participate, we may request certain additional personally identifiable information. We will use this information to monitor system traffic, supplement, amend and personalize our system, direct advertisements, and communicate with participants. We will use email addresses to distribute and collect surveys, notify contest winners and award prizes. We do not share information members provide through a contest or survey together with personally identifiable information.
We will typically communicate with our members using their registered email address. We do not share or sell email addresses to anyone for their marketing purposes. If we cannot reach our members by email, we may use other contact information such as their address or telephone number. We will communicate with members in accordance with their preferences and in response to inquiries, to provide requested services and to manage their accounts.
We will send members mandatory service-related announcements and notifications by email when necessary. Members cannot opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If members do not wish to receive them, they have the option of canceling their account. We may broadcast important messages to all users or send individual messages to specific members.
Members may choose to receive our voluntary email newsletters and may subscribe and unsubscribe at any time.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by the Site is securely stored and is not accessible to third parties or employees of the Site except for use as indicated above. We store your information for as long as we need to do so to fulfill our legal obligations or in order to keep you informed of our products and services.

All our employees are familiar with our security policy and practices.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect all information collected by us. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect information against loss, theft and unauthorized access or disclosure during transmission and once we receive it. Perfect security does not exist on the Internet and no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
