1. Your Privacy is not for sale

Simply put, we do not and will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone, for any reason, at any time.

 

2. We limit the collection and use of personal information

Certain areas and features of Ipoper are available to you without registration or the need to provide to us any information. However, in order to benefit from the full functionality of the Service, you need to register as a member and in so doing, to provide a Login ID in the form of an email address, a password and your zip code (collectively the “Registration Information”). Ipoper makes every effort to allow you to retain the anonymity of your personal identity and you are free to choose a Login ID email address and password that keeps your personal identity anonymous.

Access to your Registration Information and your personal financial data is strictly restricted to Ipoper employees and contractors, as needed, in order to operate, develop or improve the Service. These individuals have been subject to prior background checks and are bound by confidentiality obligations. They may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Personally identifiable information generally includes information that could be used to determine your identity, such as your name, address, phone number, e-mail address (if it contains some part of your name) gender, birth date, occupation, personal interests and other demographic information. With the exception of a Login ID in the form of an email address, which may be provided on an anonymous basis, and your Third Party Account Information, which is entered into our e-commerce transaction processing managed by a third party contractor, Ipoper does not require any information from you that might constitute personally identifiable information.

Ipoper requires a Login ID email address from you in the following circumstances:
Registration for the Service;  torespond to any correspondence, such as emails or letters, from you.

 

 

3. Your Registration Information is kept private

Ipoper does not sell or rent your Registration Information at any time.

Ipoper uses your Registration Information only as follows:

• to analyze site usage and improve the Service;
• to deliver to you any administrative notices, alerts and communications relevant to your use of the Service;
• to fulfill your requests for certain products and services;
• for market research, project planning, troubleshooting problems, detecting and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity;
• to enforce Ipoper’s Terms of Use; and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy and Security Policy.

We only use your Zip Code to improve your experience. There are two main reasons why Ipoper requires your zip code as part of the Registration process for the Service. First, this allows the Service to provide you with accurate automated distribution of your video by improving our ability to identify merchants both nationally and locally. Second, Ipoper needs to determine the appropriate time zone in order to send you timely personal  alerts as part of the Service.

 

4. Changes to your Registration Information

If your registration information changes during your subscription to Ipoper, you may update the email address and Zip code by changing you personal information online.

 

5. Account Information will not be disclosed

Ipoper does not sell, rent or disclose your personal Account Information. Ipoper discloses your Account Information only to you and to third-party contractors who help Ipoper provide the Service to you.

 

6. Online session information and use is only used to improve your experience

When you visit Ipoper, we may collect technical and navigational information, such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on our Web site. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues, or it may be analyzed to improve our Web design and functionality.

We may use third party service providers to help us analyze certain online activities. For example, these service providers may help us measure the performance of our online campaigns or analyze visitor activity on Ipoper. We may permit these service providers to use cookies and other technologies to perform these services for Ipoper. We do not share any personally identifiable information about our customers with these third party service providers, and these service providers do not collect such information on our behalf. Our third party service providers are required to comply fully with this Privacy and Security Policy.

 

7. External service providers will not be given your personal information without your permission

There are a number of separate products and services offered by third parties advertised by us on our site and through the Service that may be complementary to your use of Ipoper and these constitute Ipoper Offers. If you choose to use these separate products or services, disclose information to the providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. You should evaluate the practices of external services providers before deciding to use their services. These third party Web sites may have different privacy policies than Ipoper and Ipoper is not responsible for their privacy practices. If you click on a link to a third party Web site, Ipoper encourages you to check the privacy policy of that Web site.

Ipoper may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed and whether any action has been taken on a third party Web site. We use this information to improve the quality of the Ipoper Offers and customized content on the Service.

 

8. Blogs and other Forums on Ipoper

If you use a bulletin board, blog, or chat room on this Web site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.

 

9. Disclosure of your information to protect our rights or if required by law

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ipoper reserves the right (and you authorize Ipoper) to share or disclose your Registration Information and Account information when Ipoper determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of such information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against you if: You are or may be violating this Privacy and Security Policy or Ipoper Terms of Use; to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities; or Necessary or required by any applicable law, rule regulation, subpoena or other legal process.

 

10. Your data may be transferred upon acquisition of Ipoper but only in accordance with this policy

Registration Information and Account Information may be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization or other transfer (a “Transfer”) involving Ipoper. Ipoper specifically reserves the right to transfer Registration and Account Information to a third party in connection with a Transfer. Should such a Transfer occur, we will use our best efforts to require that the new combined entity follow this privacy and security policy with respect to your personal information, as and to the extent required by applicable law and require that you receive prior notice if your personal information could be used contrary to this policy.

 

11. You can transport or delete your data

Your data is yours. You can remove it anytime you want. When you request us to delete your account for the Service, your data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your Account Information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely. Your data may also remain on a backup server or media. Ipoper keeps these backups to ensure our continued ability to provide the Service to you in the event of malfunction or damage to our primary production servers.

 

12. Cookies and Web Beacons are used to analyze site usage and improve the Service

“Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers in the form of text files that are inserted and stored by your Web browser on your computer’s hard drive. Ipoper may set and access cookies on your computer to track and store preferential information about you. Ipoper may gather anonymous information about you through cookie technology on an aggregate level only. For example, Ipoper may assign a cookie to you, to limit the amount of times you see a particular Promotional Offer or to help better determine which promotional offers to serve to you. Please note that most Internet browsers will allow you to stop cookies from being stored on your computer and to delete cookies stored on your computer. If you choose to eliminate cookies, the full functionality of the Service may be impaired for you.

We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. Web beacons are images embedded in a Web page or email for the purpose of measuring and analyzing site usage and activity. Ipoper, or third party service providers acting on our behalf, may use Web beacons to help us analyze site usage and improve the Service.

 

13. We comply with CAN-SPAM regulations for our newsletters

Ipoper sends only verified, double-opt-in e-mail newsletters, specifically requested by Ipoper subscribers. Subscriptions to Ipoper newsletters are verified by sending an e-mail confirmation to your e-mail address, which requires a positive response before an e-mail address is added to Ipoper’s list. Ipoper is fully compliant with the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003.

Because we provide you the option of receiving our promotional newsletters, Ipoper subscribers have the ability to opt-out of receiving these newsletters by emailing us at support@ipoper.net. We also will send users service-related emails which they do not have the ability to opt-out of.

 

14. We use authentication to ensure that only you access your account

Email authentication is the process you go through on Ipoper to access secure areas of our Website. This process takes place when you log into your account, the two key components of which are your Login ID and Password.

With regards to passwords, we maintain strict rules to help prevent others from guessing your password. We also recommend that you change your password periodically. Your password must be 6-8 characters in length. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Login ID and Password. You may not provide these credentials to any third party. If you believe that they have been stolen or been made known to others, you must contact us immediately at support@ipoper.net. to request a change. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through Registration Information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy and Security Policy or Ipoper’s Terms of Use.

If you have a security related concern, please contact us at support@ipoper.net. We will work closely with you to ensure a rapid and personal response to your concerns.
