Information collection and use

PS.net collects certain user-submitted information ("personal information") in order for users to operate various features of the PS.net website. Any user may access our website home page and browse our website without disclosing personal information. For website activities that request personal information, you agree to provide accurate and current information about yourself. We may retain personal information for an indefinite amount of time to preserve our database and to comply with various federal and state laws.

To participate as a member of the PS.net website or in online activities, you may be required to provide personally identifiable information such as your e-mail address and ZIP code. We collect personal information for several important purposes, including to operate our membership base, protect the security of our users and the website, improve or add features to our service and website, and to distribute our newsletters. A user's e-mail address or ZIP code is never shared with anyone nor displayed to other users.

The only personal information the PS.net website obtains about you is information voluntarily provided by you through our website. This website does not collect additional personal information about individual users from other sources. To manage our website and improve our website services, we may collect non-personal information about our users, such as Internet server and browser identification, Internet service provider, clickstream information, the website from which a person enters our site, websites visited, duration of visit, domain type, IP address, member lists and aggregate user data. This information does not reveal a user's personal identity. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to members. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes.

Information sharing and disclosure

PS.net will only share or disclose users' personal information with companies other than PS.net when it is required by law; when disclosure is necessary to operate the website or certain website services; in order to protect the safety of our users, employees or property; and/or when disclosure is consistent with PS.net's practices for services that are similarly provided offline.

PS.net may in the future share personal information with our parents, partners, affiliates, or other entities for other purposes. If we decide to enter into such sharing arrangements, we will disclose to our registered members and in this Privacy Policy the name of the entity(s) with which we will share information, what type of personal information will be shared, how the information will be used, and how to contact us if you do not want us to share your personal information ("opt-out"). We may conduct joint activities with members of the SagaCity Media, Inc. family; however, we will not share individual users' personal information with these entities unless we provide notice to you.

When users send e-mail correspondence to us, we will protect your e-mail address and other personal contact information. We may share your personal information with our operational providers or those persons, companies or agents who provide support for the internal operations of the website, such as maintenance and technical services, in order to address any issues with which you may need assistance.

PS.net may collect and provide aggregate information about our users to our advertisers, sponsors, promotional partners and affiliates, such as how many persons visited a particular page or activity, or the likes and dislikes of our users, but this information does not include personal information about any individual user. We may obtain geographic information such as ZIP code clustering from other sources, but this aggregate information will not reveal any personal information about a specific user.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect member information that is stored within our database, and we restrict access to member information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service personnel and technical staff. Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of member account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member information at any time.
