PostNet International Franchise Corporation (“we”, “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of every individual. We developed this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, share, and protect Personal Information (defined below), and your choices about the collection and use of Personal Information.
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information collected or processed about you (including by our Franchisees, as defined below), if you are a customer of ours, including our Franchisees, or a user of our websites or applications (including to the extent those websites or applications are operated for the benefit of our Franchisees) (collectively, the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through any other means, including on any other website operated by any third party (other than one of our Franchisees), and through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from the Services.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
Below please find a list of the topics covered in this Privacy Policy:
“Personal Information” is information that identifies or relates to a particular individual. Examples of Personal Information include, among others, name, email address, phone number, and online identifiers. When we combine Personal Information with other information, such as the location of a nearby independently owned PostNet location or order details, we treat the combined information as Personal Information.
A. Information that You Provide Us
When you visit our Franchised business centers, use our online Services, or otherwise contact us, we request certain information about you. The exact information we need to collect will depend on the purpose of our interaction. Examples of this information include your name, email address, phone number, street address, location, customer service experience, and other information you provide which we use to qualify you if you apply to become a franchisee.
B. Information We Receive Automatically from You
We collect the following types of information automatically through your use of our online Services:
When you use or access our online Services, we and our service providers use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use the Service. We process the information collected through such technologies to help operate certain features of the Service, to enhance your experience through personalization, and to help us better understand the features of the Service that you and other users are most interested in.
Most browsers provide you with the ability to block, delete, or disable cookies, and your mobile device may allow you to disable transmission of unique identifiers and location data. If you choose to reject cookies or block device identifiers, some features of the Service may not be available or some functionality may be limited or unavailable. Please review the help pages of your browser or mobile device for assistance with changing your settings.
Some of our service providers may use cookies or other methods to gather information regarding your use of the Service, and may combine the information in these cookies with any Personal Information about you that they may have. The use of such tracking information by a third party depends on the privacy policy of that third party. We do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals sent to us by your browser at this time. To learn more about how DNT works, please visit All About DNT.
To assist us with analyzing the use of our websites and apps through cookies and similar technologies, we use analytics services, including Google Analytics. For more information on Google’s processing of your information, please see “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.”
The Services collect real-time information about the location of your device.
When you use our online Services, our servers automatically record information, including your Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”), browser type, referring URLs (e.g., the site you visited before coming to our Service), domain names associated with your internet service provider, information on your interaction with the Service, and other such information (collectively, “Log File Information”).
We may also collect similar information from emails sent to you which then help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. We use Log File Information to help secure the online Services by identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities and in analyzing the effectiveness of our Service to improve the Service’s function and content.
We use Personal Information for the following purposes:
We will not disclose Personal Information except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or with your consent. We do not sell your Personal Information.
This section describes to whom we disclose Personal Information and for what purposes:
We use commercially reasonable safeguards, such as industry-standard encryption technology, to help keep the information collected through our online Services (including credit card information) secure. Despite these efforts to store Personal Information in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Information during its transmission or its storage on our systems. Further, while we attempt to ensure the integrity and security of Personal Information, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third parties such as hackers from illegally obtaining access to Personal Information. We do not represent or warrant that Personal Information about you will be protected against, loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by any third party websites or services linked to or from our online Services or otherwise, including the information or content contained within them. A link to a third party’s website should not be construed as an endorsement. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing Personal Information to third parties.
