What Information Do We Gather About You?

We may collect information that you voluntarily give us, as well as location-based information and user content as described herein. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you on this Website except as expressly noted in this policy.

Personally Identifiable Information. In order to take advantage of certain features of our Service, we may ask you to provide your e-mail address, name, mailing address, phone number or other information about yourself. We collect such information in order that you are able to use the Service, be added to the list to receive e-mail updates, and are able to conduct transactions elsewhere on the Website. You are not required to provide us with this information, but if you choose not to, you may not be able to participate in portions of the Service.

User Content and Public Activities. We may offer you opportunities to engage and provide feedback through the Service. Any information you provide may be associated with your registration information for analysis and marketing purposes and, in turn, may be personally identifiable. Any information you disclose through such activities, along with your user name may become public and may be used by the Company for online and offline promotional or commercial uses in any and all media. We are not responsible for personally identifiable information you choose to submit in the course of such activities and we have no responsibility to publish, take down, remove or edit any of your activities.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Some non-personally identifiable information may automatically be collected as you browse our Website. Our web server may automatically collect information known as “clickstream data,” such as the domain name of the service providing you with Internet access, the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our Website, pages viewed, information searched for, access times and other relevant statistics. We may also, from time to time, use cookies on our Website. Cookies are pieces of information that a web Website transfers to the hard drive of a visitor’s computer for record-keeping purposes.

We use clickstream data and cookies only in the aggregate to measure the use of our Website and to administer and improve our Website. When we collect personal information, we may extract some of the information and combine it with other information, such as clickstream data. This combined information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns.

Information Collected By Third Parties. Some of the services and advertisements included via our Service are delivered or served by third-party companies. These companies may place or recognize cookies, web beacons, or other technology to track certain non-personal information about users. We do not have access to, nor control over, third party use of cookies or other tracking technologies or how they may be used.

What Do We Do With The Information We Gather About You?

Service Participation. We use the information we collect from you to allow you to participate in Service activities for which the information is collected. For example, when you give us your e-mail address in order to receive a newsletter, that address is added to the e-mail list for the newsletter. On each e-mail you receive, you are given the opportunity to unsubscribe; once you unsubscribe, you will no longer receive such e-mails.

Statistical Analysis. We may perform statistical, demographic and marketing analysis of users and their patterns. We use this information for analysis purposes to improve the Website and Service.

Relevant Advertising. We may use, or allow third parties to use directly via cookies and clickstream data, demographic and preference information to allow advertising to be targeted to users for whom it is most pertinent. This means users see advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the viewer’s experience and the effectiveness of the ads. We disclose information to third parties only in aggregate or de-identified form.

User Activity Data. We may use information and opinions you voluntarily provide in conjunction with your registration information for analysis and marketing purposes and to generate aggregated, anonymous reports, which may be disclosed to third parties.

With Whom Do We Share The Information That We Gather?

Within the Company. We may use information that we collect or that you provide internally, through PSFK LLC. By using an Internet site operated or maintained by us or providing personal information to us, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy. If you do not so consent, do not use the sites or their related forms.

Third Parties. Non-personally identifiable information regarding trends, personal habits, download history and preferences which is provided by individuals may be aggregated and made available on the Website and to clients without attribution to any individual and only for the purpose for which it was originally collected, or to which individuals subsequently consent. Additionally, we may disclose to our clients and affiliates the information you voluntarily provide to us, including your registration information.

Service Providers. Personal information collected on this Website may be shared with those whom we contract to operate this Website, as well as third parties who may use personal information that your voluntarily provide to us, for marketing and other commercial purposes. These contractors have agreed with us to use personal information of Website visitors only for the purposes of carrying out these operations. To the extent required or permitted by law, we may also collect, use and disclose personal information in connection with security-related or law enforcement investigations or in the course of cooperating with authorities or complying with legal requirements. We may also use your information as permitted by law to protect our rights or property, our Website, or its users. Information collected on the Website may also be used in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of PSFK LLC or any of their business units, or in similar circumstances.

As Permitted by Law. We may disclose information we collect, including personally identifiable information, to third parties as required or permitted by law. For example, we may disclose information:

• to regulators;
• to law enforcement authorities pursuant to an official request;
• to vendors who provide us with services; and
• to companies that may acquire part or all of Company or an affiliated company.

What Is Our Email Policy?

CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. We will not send you marketing messages if you have opted out of them. We will not share, sell, rent, swap or authorize any third party to use your email address for commercial purposes without your permission.

Service-Related Email. If you choose to sign up for a newsletter, you may elect to sign up for third party mailings or announcements. Whether you choose to receive these mailings or announcements is your choice. If you choose to receive them from a specific source, you will receive commercial messages from independent third parties over whom we have no control and who each have their own privacy policies which you should review. You may typically remove your email address from these third party lists by following the instructions on emails that you receive. You may unsubscribe from our newsletters at any time by clicking on the Unsubscribe link in the bottom of the PSFK newsletter and following the instructions, or by email terminate@psfk.com or by calling (646) 520-4672.

How Do I Change Or Update My Personal Information? You may update your information by contacting us directly at membership@psfk.com.

Is My Information Protected?

We try to keep the information we collect from you as current as possible, and we take steps to maintain the security of your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access to it by those who do not have a legitimate need for it. To that end, we periodically review our security measures. We will never post your e-mail address or other identifying information you have provided on our Website without your consent.

Whenever you enter an area of the site that carries or requires you to enter sensitive information such as your credit card details, a padlock icon will appear in the address bar of your browser, indicating that the page is secure. We use up-to-date security standards that are supported by popular browsers. Your personal information is encrypted so that unauthorized parties cannot read it.

While we may provide encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not guarantee that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions will be free from delay, interruption, interception or error.
