1. Introduction
Questions. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, contact our privacy team through this using this form.
Safe Harbor. Pin2ping also complies with the EU Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union. As part of our participation in the Safe Harbor, we agree to resolve all disputes you have with us in connection with our policies and practices through TRUSTe. We will also provide initial responses to access requests within a reasonable period of time.
Scope. This privacy policy covers all of Pin2ping. It does not, however, apply to entities that Pin2ping does not own or control, such as applications and websites using Pin2ping. By using or accessing Pin2ping, you agree to our privacy practices outlined here.
No information from children under age 13. If you are under age 13, please do not attempt to register for Pin2ping or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 13, please contact us through this contact us page.
Parental participation. We strongly recommend that minors 13 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet use practices.
2. Information We Receive
Information you provide to us:
Information About Yourself. When you sign up for Pin2ping you provide us with your name, email, gender, and birth date. During the registration process we give you the opportunity to connect with your friends, schools, and employers. You will also be able to add a picture of yourself. In some cases we may ask for additional information for security reasons or to provide specific services to you. Once you register you can provide other information about yourself by connecting with, for example, your current city, hometown, family, relationships, networks, activities, interests, and places. You can also provide personal information about yourself, such as your political and religious views.
Content. One of the primary reasons people use Pin2ping is to share content with others. Examples include when you update your status, upload or take a photo, upload or record a video, share a link, create an event or a group, make a comment, write something on someone’s Wall, write a note, or send someone a message. If you do not want us to store metadata associated with content you share on Pin2ping (such as photos), please remove the metadata before uploading the content.
Transactional Information. We may retain the details of transactions or payments you make on Pin2ping.
Friend Information. We offer contact importer tools to help you upload your friends’ addresses so that you can find your friends on Pin2ping, and invite your contacts who do not have Pin2ping accounts to join. If you give us your password to retrieve those contacts, we will not store your password after you have uploaded your contacts’ information.
Information we collect when you interact with Pin2ping:
Site activity information. We keep track of some of the actions you take on Pin2ping, such as adding connections (including joining a group or adding a friend), creating a photo album, sending a gift, poking another user, indicating you “like” a post, attending an event, or connecting with an application. In some cases you are also taking an action when you provide information or content to us. For example, if you share a video, in addition to storing the actual content you uploaded, we might log the fact that you shared it.
Access Device and Browser Information. When you access Pin2ping from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from that device about your browser type, location, and IP address, as well as the pages you visit.
Cookie Information. We use "cookies" (small pieces of data we store for an extended period of time on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make Pin2ping easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to protect both you and Pin2ping. For example, we use them to store your login ID (but never your password) to make it easier for you to login whenever you come back to Pin2ping. We also use them to confirm that you are logged into Pin2ping, and to know when you are interacting with Pin2ping Platform applications and websites, our widgets and Share buttons, and our advertisements. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use Pin2ping.
