You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with all of the
terms of our Privacy Policy and User Agreement. Your use of the PeepsNation
Service ("Service") following this notification constitutes your
acceptance of the terms and conditions of these terms of service.
If you do not want the information you provided to us used in the ways described
in our Privacy Policy, please send us an email at info@peepsnation.com.
Please note, however, that even if you do opt out, any information you provide
after this notification will be
governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.
Privacy Policy
Trilibis has created this privacy policy because our members have a right
to keep personal information private. This statement discloses how we
collect, store and use information received from users who register for
PeepsNation. Private information should remain private.
HOW WE GATHER INFORMATION:
"Remember Me"
Our Service allows you to choose to have us "Remember" you upon
return visits. In short, we use cookies to administer our site, to gather
broad demographic information, to deliver content requested by you or
specific to your interests, to customize our Services for you, and to
save your password and member name so that you don't have to enter it
each time you visit.
A cookie is a small line of data that is stored on your hard drive or
phone. Some cookies are only stored for the duration of a single browser
session; others persist across sessions. We only save your password and
member name if you tell us to do so; your password is encrypted, stored
on your computer and transferred over the Internet in an encrypted format.
Keep in mind that anyone using your Web browser or wireless device would
be able to access the PeepsNation Service as you if you choose to store
your member name and password. PeepsNation's servers also set session
ID cookies that are used to allow our servers to deliver information you
request (e.g., search results). Members who do not want to receive cookies
can instruct their browsers to refuse them; however, doing so may prevent
certain parts of PeepsNation's service from working (e.g., anything that
requires login, including member chat, personals, or message boards).
Unless you've saved your member name, cookies aren't useable for identifying
individuals (your computer will be assigned a random number and neither
PeepsNation nor advertisers will know who you are. While cookies set by
PeepsNation may be used to collect personally identifiable information
and can be traced to an individual user, this personally identifiable
information is used only for internal purposes; when information collected
through cookies is shared with third parties, it is only used in aggregate
form.
Registration Form
Membership on the PeepsNation is completely optional. PeepsNation's registration
form requires users to give certain information (e.g., your age, gender,
and zip code) and the option of adding more descriptive information (e.g.,
whether you drink or smoke). On our join form, required fields are marked
with an asterisk. We use this information to send members information
and announcements about PeepsNation (e.g., a weekly newsletter) and our
partners.
During registration, you may be offered the opportunity to receive information
from third parties or to register for third-party products or services.
By choosing to accept such an opportunity, you consent to PeepsNation's
disclosure of your contact and demographic information to that third party.
Please remember that the use of your contact and demographic information
by the applicable third party will be governed by that third party's own
privacy policy.
At times and only with a member's permission, PeepsNation
may share names and mailing and e-mail addresses with carefully selected
organizations. Members may opt out of these programs by selecting "don't
share my mailing address" and/or "don't share my e-mail address"
on our registration form. Aggregate demographic information collected
through the registration process is shared with advertisers and other
partners. This aggregate information is not traceable to an individual
user.
Online Surveys
At times PeepsNation may run online surveys asking for specific contact
or demographic information. These surveys are always optional. At times
PeepsNation may share both the results of, and individual entries in,
surveys with the sponsors of the survey. Results of surveys may be shared
with partners and advertisers on an aggregate basis.
Contests
At times PeepsNation may run contests where we ask for contact or demographic
information. These contests are always optional. At times PeepsNation
may share both the results of, and individual entries in, contests with
the sponsors of the contests. Results of contests may be shared with partners
and advertisers on an aggregate basis.
Group Lists and other Communications Tools
PeepsNation provides many venues for member interaction and community,
including Group lists, Calls with Caller ID blocked, text messages, and
other tools. In some cases use of such tools (e.g., group lists) may reveal
a user's member name or e-mail address and may permit users to publish
certain personal information (e.g., Web page links and content ratings)
on the PeepsNation Service. In all cases, users affirmatively choose to
expose or place this information in public areas of the PeepsNation Service,
and thereby agree that such information may be viewed by or forwarded
to anyone. Users who do not want this information to be publicly available
should not use these optional features on the PeepsNation Service.
Personals
PeepsNation permits users to submit personal information for use in our
their profiles. This information is stored for the purposes of member
self-publishing and interaction and we may also use this information to
customize your PeepsNation experience. By registering for Personals and
submitting your user information, you understand that anyone may have
access to and forward this information. As with all parts of the PeepsNation
Service, we will not use profiles to knowingly collect personal information
from children under the age of 13.
Member Feedback
PeepsNation stores feedback members send to us. This feedback is used
to administer and refine the PeepsNation Service and associated services
and at times may be shared with partners either in aggregate form or individually
with specific identifying characteristics about the Member (e.g., e-mail
address or name) removed.
IP Addresses/Clear GIFs
PeepsNation tracks individual IP addresses and uses clear GIFs to help
diagnose problems with our service, to administer our site and to gather
broad demographic information. User IP address information is used only
for our internal purposes. Information gathered through our use of clear
GIFs cannot be traced to an individual user and is used only for our internal
purposes.
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE SCENARIOS
Notwithstanding anything else in this policy, PeepsNation may also disclose
personal and aggregate information when required by a valid legal mechanism
such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order, or when we deem it
necessary, in our sole discretion, to protect our rights and the safety
of others, or our members, employees, or properties.
PeepsNation believes that members' private communications in chat rooms,
e-mail, and instant message-like conversations should generally remain
confidential. PeepsNation does not read or disclose private communications
unless ordered to do so through a valid legal mechanism such as a search
warrant, subpoena, or court order, to protect the company's rights and
property, or during emergencies when we believe safety is at risk. Please
remember that what you write or post in public areas such as your profile
is available to all PeepsNation members, and in many cases other visitors
to the PeepsNation service or site. Also keep in mind that PeepsNation
is not responsible for what other users may do with private communications
you've had with them. SMS messages do pass through our servers, and the
only record is kept within the individual users own account.
PeepsNation reserves the right to share some or all of your personal information
with its parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures or other companies
under common control with PeepsNation, in which case PeepsNation will
require such entities to honor this privacy policy. If PeepsNation or
Trilibis is acquired by another company, that company will obtain the
member information collected by PeepsNation and will assume the rights
and obligations set forth in this privacy policy regarding that information.
OFF-SITE LINKS
PeepsNation provides links to other sites and is not responsible for the
privacy practices or contents of these other sites.
