Privacy Policy

General

lettrs, Inc. (“lettrs”) takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously. This Privacy Policy (which we adapted from a policy originally provided by Automatic (WordPress.com) describes how we treat the information we collect when you visit and use the website available at lettrs.com (the “Website”) and is made available under the Creative Commons Sharealike license. Please read this notice very carefully.

Website Visitors

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

lettrs also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. lettrs 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 the Website choose to interact with lettrs in ways that require lettrs to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that lettrs gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a letter at lettrs.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with lettrs are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, lettrs collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with lettrs. lettrs 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.

lettrs does not collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without the consent of his or her guardian. If you believe that a child has provided lettrs with personally identifiable information without the consent of his or her parent or guardian, please contact us at support@lettrs. If lettrs becomes aware that a child under age 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete such information.


Aggregated Statistics

lettrs may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to the Website. For instance, lettrs may monitor the most popular letters on the lettrs.com site to help identify spam. lettrs may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, lettrs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.


Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of lettrs may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy.
