COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not share your personally identifiable information with outside parties.

You may be asked to provide personal information in certain fields on this website. The personal information collected on this site is used for the purpose for which it is requested:

1. Resumes are requested for job applicants and are used to evaluate the candidate. Resumes are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with any entity unrelated to Podaddies. Resumes for individuals not hired are disposed of when they are either no longer under consideration or are considered outdated (usually no longer than one year).
2. Contact information for potential clients or persons seeking business information is collected in order to contact those persons to provide information about our services. This information may be stored on our servers in the United States. Such information is usually deleted as space requires or in the normal course of business, but can be amended or deleted upon request. To update your information, please contact your account manager or sales representative.
3. Contact information, such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address, submitted by existing customers with questions, concerns, complaints, or technical support questions, is used only to respond to those inquiries.

4. When you sign up for an email newsletter or alerts about our products and services, Podaddies will use your email address to deliver the newsletter or alerts requested. To review or delete your information or to opt-out of any newsletter, please email us with your question or request.

 

We may share your personal information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, to establish or exercise our legal rights or, defend against legal claims and if in our judgment in such circumstances disclosure is required or appropriate. In addition, we may share your personal information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our various terms of use, or as otherwise required by law. If we sell our business or all or part of the Service, personally identifiable information you have shared with us may be one of the business assets that will be transferred. The transferred personally identifiable information will remain subject to the promises made in this privacy policy or subsequent policies to which you have consented.

We may use or share your personal information where it is necessary to complete a transaction, to operate or improve the Service or to do something that you have asked us to do. We may use your personal information internally to assist us in categorizing or contextualizing advertising content, and we may share aggregated, non-personal information (which does not identify you individually), such as the number of users who viewed or clicked on a particular advertisement.

 

COLLECTION AND USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

The Podaddies.com website may use cookies. A “cookie” is a small text file that contains a string of alphanumeric characters. There are two types of cookies that may be used at the Podaddies.com website: a persistent cookie and a session cookie. A persistent cookie gets entered by your Web browser into the “Cookies” folder on your computer and remains in this “Cookies” folder after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. A session cookie is held temporarily in your computer’s memory and disappears after you close your browser or shut off your computer. The Podaddies.com website may also use Web beacons (also called “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) in conjunction with cookies. Web beacons are small strings of code that are placed in a Web page.

If you have arrived at this website by clicking on an ad for one of our products or services, a session cookie may be used. This cookie will contain an identification number for the ad that you clicked on, or will contain an identification number for the site that you were visiting when you clicked on the banner ad. This session cookie helps Podaddies’s Marketing Department determine which of our ads attract the most visitors. If, after you arrive at our site, you choose to request further information from us about our products and services, the personal information that you provide in that request will be linked to the information in the session cookie. This also helps Podaddies’s Marketing Department measure the effectiveness of our advertising. This “linking” will not be used to target future advertisements to you or to send you emails about future goods and services. You will receive emails about our products only if you tell us on the product request page that you want us to send them to you. Because this is a session cookie, it will disappear once you have closed your browser. If you return to our site via another one of our ads, you will appear as a new visitor unless and until you provide further personal information.

The Podaddies.com website may use persistent cookies, Web beacons and information collected in our log files (such as Internet Protocol Address, referring URLs, etc.) about your activity at this site to better understand how the website is used, resolve technical problems, and enhance your experience at this site. Information from website analysis cookies or about website usage is not combined with information from any other Podaddies cookie.  We use a third-party email technology to send emails that you have agreed to receive. Web beacons are used in those email messages to measure the effectiveness of our advertising.  If you would like to stop receiving Podaddies email publications to which you have subscribed, please email us.

In addition, Podaddies may serve ads on this and other websites using our own ad-serving technology. In doing so, one of our ad servers will place or read a unique ad-serving cookie on your computer and will use non-personal information about your browser and your activity at this site to serve ads on this and other sites. The ad-serving cookie is a persistent cookie. Please email us for more information about Podaddies ad serving or to opt-out of the Podaddies ad-serving cookie.

INFORMATION SHARING OR DISCLOSURE

In the event that we contract with a third party to provide some part of the information or service that you have requested, Podaddies may provide your information to such third party, or such third party may collect information from you on our behalf. By written agreement, these third parties are required to implement similar security measures and to process your information only as authorized by Podaddies to fulfill the service(s) that they have been contracted to provide. Other than these entities, who act on our behalf, information you provide at this site will not be transferred to unrelated third parties, unless we have your permission to do so. However, please note that personal information provided to this site may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants or orders.

If we make any material or substantive changes in our treatment of information collected at this site (www.Podaddies.com), we will notify you by posting a clear and conspicuous notice of these changes on our website and in this privacy policy. If you would like to be notified by email if and when material changes are made to this policy, please opt in to receiving such email notifications by sending an email from the email address at which you wish to receive the notification to info@podaddies.com and put “privacy policy change list” in the subject line.

However, Podaddies will take reasonable steps to assure that such information is used in a manner consistent with the Podaddies privacy policy under which it was collected.

Data security

We make efforts to ensure data security on our systems to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. However, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
