Postcrossing Privacy Policy
Your personal information is important to us
The Postcrossing Project recognises the importance of your privacy and that you have the right to control how your personal information is collected and used. We know that providing your personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you directly give us consent to do otherwise, we will only collect and use your personal information as explained in this privacy policy.
Collected information
We will not collect or monitor any personal information without your consent. The only personal information we collect is the information provided by you at the time of signup and whenever you edit your account or profile. We also record the IP Address with which you access the website. This information will only be used to fulfill the postcard exchange goal of the website and to improve the content of the website.
The postal address you supply to us will only be used for the postcard exchange as explained in the "About" page. At any moment, you are free to stop using Postcrossing and, if you so wish, to remove your account.
We will use your email address only for the purpose of notifying you of events related with the exchange of postcards. We may also periodically email you a newsletter with news and updates about the website, or statistics about your account usage that are relevant to you. You can choose not to receive our newsletter/statistics emails by unchecking the appropriate options in your account.
If you contact us, we may maintain a record of the history of the entire communication.
Children under the age of 13
Users under the age of 13 are allowed to use Postcrossing only under the supervision of an adult and due consent of a parent or legal guardian. We believe children can learn a great deal with Postcrossing, but like with any other website, their online habits should be monitored closely by an adult.
