Third Rail Marketing Consulting FZE (“Third Rail”) operates Postepic.com website and Postepic mobile application. It is Third Rails’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website and mobile application.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Third Rail collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Third Rail’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Third Rail’s visitors use its website and mobile application. From time to time, Third Rail may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website and mobile application.
Third Rail also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments Postepic.com and Postepic mobile application. Third Rail only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Third Rail’s website and mobile application choose to interact with Third Rail in ways that require Third Rail to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Third Rail gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a Postepic mobile application to provide a username and email address. Third Rail collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Third Rail. Third Rail does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Third Rail may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website and mobile application. However, Third Rail does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Third Rail discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Third Rail’s behalf or to provide services available at Third Rail’s website and mobile application, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Third Rail’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Third Rail will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Third Rail discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Third Rail believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Third Rail, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Third Rail website and have supplied your email address, Third Rail may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Third Rail and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Third Rail takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
