Privacy Policy |

| Last update on December 20, 2007 | ||
IUPost recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by users on the web
site. We created this policy with a fundamental respect for our users' right to privacy and to guide our
relationships with our users. This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for all products and services
offered by IUPost.
Registration
When signing up for iupost account users must first register. During registration, users are required to give their
e-mail address (phone number is optional). For internal purposes, we use this information to communicate
with users and provide requested services, and, for our website visitors, to provide a contact information for ads
posted by users. When you post an ad, it will be assigned a temporary email address with iupost.com
domain that will be used to forward messages from visitors to your
e-mail address. Your email address will not be shown to protect your
privacy. If you specify a phone number, it will be shown to the visitors
in a form of picture for additional protection of your privacy. When you
sign up for business account you can provide additional optional
information such as business name, location address, business website,
and a logo. This information becomes public.
Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us. Letters to the editor and similar submissions may be
made public. Requests for service, support or information may be forwarded as needed to best respond to a
specific request. We may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes,
and to help us to serve users better.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special Offers
In order to best serve our users, we may send updates that contain important information about our site and
services. For example, we may send users a notification regarding ending of the posting period of their posted
ad. We may also communicate with our users to provide requested services, including IUPost updates and new
features, via e-mail.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web site has features that automatically collect information from users. This information will assist us to
serve the needs of our users.
We use "cookies", a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies
benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookies,
they may be limited in the use of some areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to post new
ads or update already posted ads.
Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal information and to store it securely. In addition,
access to all of our users' information is restricted. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which we store
personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Links
Our web site may contain links to other sites. IUPost is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy policies
of each web site to which we may link, that may collect personally identifiable information.
Notification and Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so our users are aware of what
information we collect, how we use it and under which circumstances. Users should check this policy frequently
to keep abreast of any changes.
