What Personal Information Do We Collect?

When you sign up for PlaceSpeak you provide us with personal information such as your name, residential address and email address. Personal information is never shared with other visitors or users of the site.

Your residential address is never displayed to other users. PlaceSpeak provides preferences for you to control how your personal information, including your residential address is shared on the site and who can see your residential location.

The PlaceSpeak website also collects non-personal information for all website visitors. Our servers automatically log information about visits to this website in the normal course of establishing and maintaining web connections. The server logs record statistical information, such as visitors’ IP addresses, time and duration of visit, and pages visited. We collect this information so that we may continuously improve our website content. These statistics are reported in aggregate form only. We do not link server log information to any other data in a way that would enable us to identify individual visitors.

Purposes for Collection, Use, and Disclosure

Any of the information we collect from you may be used to personalize your experience on the PlaceSpeak website, to improve our website based on the information and feedback we receive from you, to process transactions, to administer a contest or survey, and to send periodic emails.

Disclosure to Outside Parties

Your personal information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering a requested service.

We may release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
