Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Plurchase we have a few fundamental principles:

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

Plurchase Inc. ("Plurchase") operates several websites including plurchase.com and plurcha.se. It is Plurchase’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Plurchase collects non-personally-identifying 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. Plurchase’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Plurchase’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Plurchase may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Plurchase also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Plurchase does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Plurchase’s websites choose to interact with Plurchase in ways that require Plurchase to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Plurchase gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask user who send invitations by email to provide their email address. Those who engage in transactions with Plurchase – by purchasing premium services, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Plurchase collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Plurchase. Plurchase does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Plurchase may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Plurchase may perform analysis on aggregate data to determine popular shopping habits. Plurchase may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Plurchase does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Plurchase discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Plurchase’s behalf or to provide services available at Plurchase’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Plurchase’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Plurchase will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Plurchase discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Plurchase believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Plurchase, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Plurchase website and have supplied your email address, Plurchase may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Plurchase and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Plurchase takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
