Privacy Policy
Privacy Notice. We care about your privacy. This Privacy Notice discloses our privacy policy, which tells you about how we use and protect user information.
Type of Information That Snipi May Collect. To provide our services to our users effectively, Snipi may collect certain user information. We use user information to understand what makes you different from our other users. In other words, we collect your information to understand your preferences and likes. Information collected by Snipi is usually defined as being either "anonymous" or "personally identifiable".
Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, Snipi collects some information each time a visitor comes to the Snipi website so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience. Snipi collects the visitor's IP address, referral data, browser, browser path, and platform type. Much of the user's anonymous information is collected automatically using various technologies, including "cookies" (see below).
Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name or email address, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. Snipi collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of the Snipi Properties:
Snipi Registration: When you register to use the Snipi services, you provide Snipi with your personal identifying information, such as your name, contact information, and other descriptions about you personally.
Correspondence: If you contact Snipi, including via e-mail, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
Snipi reserves the right to collect certain information and store it in connection with your account. This information includes information about the different sites that you visit within the Snipi website as well as the time and frequency at which you visit them. This information also includes the content that you transmit or post to or on the Snipi Properties (as defined in our Terms of Use). Snipi Properties that reside and operate outside of the Snipi website and their specific collection activities include:
Snipi Toolbar: The Snipi toolbar also collects data about activities you engage in while specifically interacting with the Snipi toolbar. Your user ID, items collected, lists, and associated content and any comments, descriptions, or tags that are displayed on Snipi.com. Therefore this data is available to the public and will be identifiable to your user ID. You can choose to make you lists private by setting it to private when creating the list in the toolbar. Personally identifiable information is not shared by Snipi in any way. Anonymous data, including demographic information, and anonymous activity or browse paths may be used to help third parties personalize experiences to users. In no circumstance will Snipi share your real name, email address, phone number, mailing address or personally identifiable information you have provided to Snipi with third parties.
Snipi Mobile Applications: While using the Snipi mobile applications. Snipi may collect data about the location, list, and item a user has selected. As in all other circumstances, Snipi may use this data to improve the Snipi Properties, provide personalized services, or share anonymous user data with third parties. In no circumstance will Snipi share your real name, email address, phone number, mailing address or personally identifiable information you have provided to Snipi with third parties.
Identity of Organizations Collecting Your Information. When you register and use the Snipi service, user information is generally collected and maintained solely by Snipi unless specifically stated otherwise. Snipi at times may be sharing anonymous data with a third party company. Snipi allows you to use the Snipi services while you are on other websites other than Snipi.com. Anonymous data collected while you are on non-Snipi websites and only while using the Snipi service can be shared with third parties. The data Snipi shares with a third party company will be anonymous data with no personally identifiable information offered or transmitted by Snipi. You should be aware of other companies' websites and privacy policies while using the Snipi services in association with their websites.
Although Snipi only collects anonymous data while you are on other companies' websites, some of these third party websites may collect personally identifiable information from you. While Snipi hopes that all third parties involved adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our users, the Snipi Privacy Policy does not cover third-party data collection practices and the Snipi Network does not assume any responsibility for any actions of third parties.
Identity of Organizations with Whom Snipi Shares the Collected Information. Information about Snipi users is important to us, and we are not in the business of selling personally identifiable information to third party companies. However, whenever you are using the Snipi service on other companies' websites, anonymous data collected may be shared with the third-party companies providing the service. Such anonymous data may be shared with third party websites to personalize user experience and/or improve their service. You should read the individual privacy policies of such third parties and make an informed decision on your own whether to continue based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion.
In addition, Snipi may disclose information about individual users to third parties who agree to provide services to Snipi and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These third parties will provide a variety of services to Snipi, including, without limitation, processing and storing user information, helping to create new content and promotions for the Snipi websites, and sending or coordinating the sending of marketing communications that users have consented to receive. Snipi shall not be responsible or liable if any of these third parties breach the terms of the Snipi Privacy Notice.
Snipi will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
If Snipi is acquired by or merged with another company, Snipi may transfer personally identifiable information about you to that company. Snipi will notify you in the event that your personally identifiable information is transferred under these circumstances and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Cookies. Snipi collects anonymous information passively using various technologies, including cookies. While Snipi collects information using various technologies, cookies play an important role in making the Internet work, and it is important you understand how they are used.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its activities on the web site. This unique number identifies your web browser to our computer system whenever you visit one of the sites in the Snipi network. A cookie will not allow a web site to learn any personally identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed. Cookies allow Snipi to remember automatically your web browser when you visit our websites. To help serve you better, Snipi generally uses cookies to deliver our products and services more efficiently. By storing certain registration and preference information on cookies or associating cookies with registration, preference or profile information stored on our computers, we can deliver products and services that use such information more quickly and efficiently for more users.
The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most major web sites. It is possible to adjust your web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. While Snipi does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain sites and services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies.
The Way in Which Snipi Uses the Information it Collects. Any personally identifiable information you share with Snipi when using the Snipi service is maintained and accessible only by Snipi unless specifically stated otherwise. Snipi requests information from its users so that users can enjoy customized experiences across the Snipi website, including personalization services, interactive communications, and much more. We can also better prepare future content based on your interests. We do not sell, rent or share any of your personally identifiable information to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, brands and retailers may send you in-system messages through the Snipi service. You may opt out of these messages at any time through your account preferences and your personal email address will never be shared.
If you send an email using the Snipi service to an email address that is not registered with Snipi, we will not use that email address for any purpose other than to send the message you intended to send that email address. We do not sell, rent or share these email addresses, nor do we send them additional emails.
On an aggregate, non-personally identifiable level we may also collect data to analyze site activity, usage, and improve content, layout, design and services, and for disclosure to third parties to demonstrate the value of the Snipi Properties.
Accessing or Editing Your Information. The Snipi websites provide its registered users the ability to access and edit the personal information in their user profiles. You can access your user profile by following these steps:
Login to Snipi.com.
Go to the My Stuff page.
Here you will see an EDIT button beside/within your profile.
This area will allow you to edit your profile details.
Security Procedures in Place to Protect Your Information. The Snipi Properties have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control. Snipi uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. Credit card numbers used to purchase premium services, if and when applicable, are encrypted prior to transmission to protect your privacy and credit card information.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. You are ultimately responsible for the security of your Snipi username and password. Please take care when using and storing them. Snipi recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your browser and/or log out of the Snipi service at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in a public place like a library.
Message to Parents for Persons Under the Age of 13. Snipi's Properties covered by this policy are not intended for the use by children, especially those under the age of 13. No one under the age of 13 is allowed to provide any personal information or use the public areas of any Snipi Properties.
If your children disclose information about themselves in any public area of the Snipi Properties, they may get unsolicited messages from other parties. Accordingly, you should restrict them and instruct them not to do so. We have required that all persons registering for Snipi's Properties indicate that they are at least 13 years of age. The circumvention of this mechanism is the sole responsibility of each child's parent and Snipi will not be held liable for those individuals who provide misleading or inaccurate information.
If you're concerned about your child's activities or their privacy on the Snipi Properties, we encourage you to send an email to Snipi at support [at!]snipi [dot.] com.
Location of Stored Personally Identifiable Information. Personally identifiable information collected by Snipi may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Snipi or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Snipi Properties, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
Conditions of Use, Notice, and Change of Policy. If you choose to visit or use any of the Snipi Properties, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Notice and the Terms of Use. As our business changes, our Privacy Notice or the Terms of Use may also change. When we make changes to our Privacy Notice or the Terms of Use, we may do so without notice. You should therefore check the Snipi website frequently to see any changes. You agree to be bound by both the Privacy Notice and Terms of Use as both may change from time to time.
