Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That’s our commitment. The PeopleWiki is dedicated to protecting the privacy of its users while providing a collaborative environment for creating and maintaining a comprehensive database of local leaders, professionals, and notable figures.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our website, mobile application, and other online products and services (collectively, the "Services") or when you otherwise interact with us. By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We believe that you shouldn't have to provide personal information to participate in the free knowledge movement. You do not have to provide things like your real name, address, or date of birth to read or contribute to our projects.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide to Us: We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you create an account, participate in any interactive features of the Services, fill out a form, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, password, and other contact or identifying information you choose to provide.
Public Contributions: When you make a contribution to PeopleWiki (including creating or editing biographies), your contribution is publicly visible. While we do not require you to provide your real name to make contributions, any information you include in your public profile or contributions will be visible to anyone who visits the site.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our Services, such as to administer your account, understand how you use our Services, and monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Services. We also use the information to communicate with you about products, services, offers, promotions, and events, and provide news and information we think will be of interest to you.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy or as clearly disclosed to you at the time of collection. We may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf.
5. Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from our Services may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.
