Collection of Personal Information.

As a general rule, we collect both “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information” from our visitors and users. Like other website operators, PMP collects “Non-Personal 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.

Also, collected “Non-Personal Information” may include information that cannot be used to personally identify an individual person, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information that we may collect, number of clicks, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit.

Regarding “Personal Information”, visitors to the Site may elect to interact with PMP in ways that require us to gather information that can be used to personally identify an individual person, such as: name (first and last), email address and phone number. We will also ask visitors who sign up for the Site to provide a username and email address.

Purpose of PI Collection.

We will store your PI for the purposes of managing your collaboration with other users and clients, improve your user experience, send newsletters and contact you about inquiries for our services. Overall, we use the collected PI to provide and improve our services. Accordingly, we will generally collect, use and disclose your PI to:

Provide, operate, maintain, improve, and promote our platform and our products and services.
Verify your e-mail address and other account notices.
Develop, research, process, safeguard and improve our services.
Conduct research, analysis, and surveys.
Offer promotions, newsletters, send service related announcements and contact you about inquiries for our products and services.
Investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized access to our services, and other suspicious activities.
Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our products and services and for marketing or advertising purposes.

PMP will keep any collected PI only as long as it is necessary, with regard to the purpose of its processing. Upon the case of PI which is stored by our sub-processors, the data will be stored on their secure servers as indicated on their respective privacy policies from time to time.

If you do not wish to disclose any or part of your PI to us, you may still be able to use some of the functionalities of our Site, though we will not be able to guarantee that you will be able to enjoy them at their fullest if you elect not to disclose it to us.

Third Party Tools and PI Processors.

In order to provide our services, we use third-party platforms and tools. Please be aware that such platforms are governed by their own terms, policies and personal data collection practices and policies. Accordingly, by acknowledging your consent to this Policy, you are also acknowledging the applicable terms and conditions of such third party platforms, which provide functionalities that include the creation of aggregated statistics. PMP may also collect aggregated statistics about the behavior of visitors to its Site, and may display this information publicly or provide it to others. Upon the case of any discrepancy or conflict among this Policy and the terms of them, the terms of the latter entities will govern.

We will keep a list of any sub-processors that will be involved in the processing of your PI due to the provision of our service and will inform you of any intended material changes concerning the addition or replacement of sub-processors before such changes are effective, thereby giving you the opportunity to object to such changes.

Cookie Policy.

To enrich and perfect your online experience, PMP uses “cookies” and similar technologies and services provided by others to display personalized content, appropriate advertising and store your preferences on your computer.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s device, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. PMP uses cookies to help PMP identify and track visitors, their usage of the Site along with their access preferences. PMP visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using PMP’s Site and/or websites, with the drawback that certain features of PMP’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Our third-party vendors may also use cookies and beacons to track your Internet browsing in order to serve you ads based on what they or us believe to be of interest according to your browsing activities and consumer preferences.

By continuing to navigate our website without changing your cookie settings, you hereby acknowledge and agree to PMP’s use of cookies. In order to enforce and uphold your right to privacy, you will always have the option to elect not to receive this type of advertising from us or third parties.

From time to time, we may use Google Analytics, Ad Words, Double Click and/or Ad Sense tracking codes, and other third-party software tools (such as remarketing codes) in order to collect information and marketing analytics about the manner in which you browse our platform and services.

Ads appearing on our Site and operated websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. |These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Policy covers the use of cookies by PMP and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

The served ads will be targeted based on your previous browsing history, and may include retargeting codes. For example, third-party vendors may show you PMP’s ads on certain websites across the Internet, even after you leave our platform. The collected information is anonymized, meaning it cannot be tracked back to individuals. Using such tools, we learn how to optimize, and serve ads based on a user’s past visits, providing you with a better user experience.

We also collect data from your mobile device ID (i.e. the unique identifier assigned to a mobile device by the manufacturer) and/or Advertising ID (for App iOS 6 and later) instead of cookies in order to recognize you and track displayed web pages, along with their performance.

Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit us. This is called Log Data, which may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, sections of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

We do not currently offer “do-not-track” or similar mechanisms. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but you can select to reset your Advertising IDs in the “Settings” section of your mobile device, among other.

You can learn more about how to opt-out by browsing Google’s opting-out and privacy pages located at www.google.com, or the Network Advertising Initiative website located at www.networkadvertising.org.
