Privacy policy:
The Plural Association Stichting (Nonprofit) and all its affiliates
This privacy statement is applicable to The Plural Association Stichting (Nonprofit) and all its affiliates for both our website and public communities.
The policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users.
The Plural Association Nonprofit (hereafter referred to as “Company” or “powertotheplurals.com”) does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from a contest or sweepstakes registration, the registration process for subscription sites or services, and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat and message boards), suggestions, voting/polling activities, and transactional areas.
Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection. At such points of collection, the user will have the opportunity to indicate whether they would like to “opt-out” of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services, and offerings from the Company and/or any third parties.
In our public communities, we use the software provided by Beam.gg. The content you post in these communities remains until you delete it. We do not share your content with any other party. Please be aware that Beam.gg has its own privacy policy, which can be found here: [Beam.gg Privacy Policy URL].
While the Company does not anticipate a large number of children accessing our website or public communities, we are committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our sites and applications. Our Company has established practices compliant with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) regarding children’s personal information.
powertotheplurals.com is sharing personally identifiable information with Google Analytics (acting as its site traffic gathering agent for this limited purpose) for the sole purpose of gathering statistical data on visitors to the site and the pages viewed by those visitors. If you wish to opt out, visit Google Analytics’ privacy center.
Further, notwithstanding any opt-out of promotional information by the user, the Company reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement, and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
The Company may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the Company’s rights or property, other Company users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. The Company may disclose user information only when we are required by law to do so.
The Company reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. The Company will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties. Also, users should be aware that the Company may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through the Company’s site. The Company is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties, and users should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information.
Additionally, users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., username, email address) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas of the Company’s sites and public communities, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in the user’s communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from
other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of the Company.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of the Company’s internet servers or through the use of “cookies.” “Cookies” are small text files a website can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user’s system and damage files.
Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Users should be aware that the Company cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for the Company. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Company’s site.
The Company may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the revised policy on our website. Your continued use of our website or public communities after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified privacy policy.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this privacy policy, please contact us using the following information:
