What Personally Identifiable Information does Postedwithlove collect?The primary purpose of collecting information from you is to provide you with a safe, smooth, effective, and personalized experience and to fulfill your purchase requests. We will only collect information about you that we consider necessary to achieve this purpose. Generally, Postedwithlove collects information in two ways. Some information is gathered when you purchase a package from us so that you may post your love. This includes your name, email address, the email address of the person or business you are posting about, your location, and other related information necessary to fulfill your request. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. We also collect personal information when you report a problem with our services through the Site’s feedback form or contact email addresses. If you contact Postedwithlove, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

What are “cookies” and how does Postedwithlove use them?Data collection devices, such as “cookies,” are used to store, and sometimes track, information about you. Generally, these cookies help provide personalized services and promote trust and safety. A cookie is a small file containing a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and placed on your computer’s hard drive to assist us in providing our services. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them and are unable to execute any code or virus. Most cookies are “session cookies,” and are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. More specifically, we use cookies to remind us of who you are and to deliver to you a more personalized service. We also use cookies to measure your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand how our users’ habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on Postedwithlove.com a better one. We may also use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our Site. You are always free to decline our cookies if you wish and if your browser permits but doing so may interfere with your access to the Site. What are IP Addresses and how does Postedwithlove.com use them?When your web browser requests a web page from another computer on the Internet, such as Postedwithlove.com, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called your computer's "IP address." (IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For many users accessing the Internet, the IP address will be different every time you log on. We record the IP Addresses that access Postedwithlove.com along with related information such as your browser type and operating system. This information helps us, in part, learn about the geographical distribution of our website visitors and the technology they use to access our site so that we can improve our Site.
