eMailDodo Privacy Policy
Introduction:
The mission of eMailDodo is to provide the world with a simple, cheap and good webbased email grouping
system. To achieve our Mission, we make this service available through our website, mobile applications,
and developer platform, to help you, your friends, colleagues, teammates, class, clients and millions of
others to email each other with ease and to ask each other questions.
Being part of eMailDodo means sharing information about yourself with others, communicating
with them, as well as working privately on your own. By default, your account is set up to share the
information that we have found the vast majority of our Users are interested in sharing. But the amount
and type of information you decide to share, and with whom you share it, is up to you.
Of course, maintaining your trust is our top concern, so we adhere to the following
principles to protect your privacy:
- We do not rent, sell, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable
information to third parties for marketing purposes.
- We do not share any information you have not chosen to display on your eMailDodo
profile to other parties, unless compelled by law, or as necessary to enforce our User Agreement or
protect the rights, property, or personal safety of eMailDodo, its Users, and the public.
- All information that you provide will be protected with industry standard
protocols and technology.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it
frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means
of a notice on our home page. By continuing to use the eMailDodo service after notice of changes has
been sent to you or published on the eMailDodo website, you are consenting to the changes.
Please read this policy and send us questions, concerns and suggestions at
[email protected].
What eMailDodo's Privacy Policy Covers:
- Information collected by eMailDodo
- How eMailDodo uses your information.
- Your information choices.
- Your obligations as a User.
- Important information regarding service eligibility.
- Security.
- How to contact us.
- Personal Information Collected The mission of eMailDodo is to provide the world with a
simple, cheap and good webbased email grouping system. To achieve our Mission, we make this service
available through our website, mobile applications, and developer platform, to help you, your
friends, colleagues, teammates, class, clients and millions of others to email each other with ease
and to ask each other questions ('Services'). By joining eMailDodo, you voluntarily and willingly
provide us certain information, including personally identifiable information, which we collect in
order to provide the Services. If you have any hesitation about providing information to us and/or
having your information displayed on the eMailDodo website or otherwise used in any manner permitted
in this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, you should not become a member of the eMailDodo
community; and, if you are already a member, you should close your account. We collect your personal
information in the following ways:
- A.
Registration In order to become a User, you must provide us the following information to
create an account: name, email address, country, and password. Like other passwords, you
should choose one that is known only by you. You acknowledge that this information is
personal to you, and by creating an account on eMailDodo, you allow others, including
eMailDodo, to identify you.
- B.
Profile Information Once you become a User, you may provide additional information in the My
Details section. Providing additional information about yourself beyond what is minimally
required at registration is entirely up to you, but providing additional information enables
you to derive more benefit from eMailDodo. Any information you provide at registration or in
the Profile section may be used by eMailDodo as described in the User Agreement and this
Privacy Policy, including for the purpose of serving advertisements through the service. If
you decide not to share certain information, you may not receive the full benefit of being a
eMailDodo User.
- C.
Contacts Information In order to connect with others on eMailDodo, you may use the Services
to send invitations either to their eMailDodo profiles or email addresses if they are not
Users. The names and email addresses of people whom you invite will be used to send your
invitations and reminders as well as to allow eMailDodo to help expand your network. Please
note that when you send an invitation to connect to another User, that User will have access
to your email address because it is displayed in the invitation. Your connections will also
have access to your email address. You may not invite anyone you do not know and trust to
connect with you. You may also choose to manually enter or upload data about your contacts
to the 'Contacts' section of your account on eMailDodo. Information entered into Contacts is
only viewable by you. By providing email addresses or other information of non-Users to
eMailDodo, you represent that you have authority to do so. All information that you enter or
upload about your contacts will be covered by the User Agreement and this Privacy Policy and
will enable us to provide customized services such as suggesting people to connect with on
eMailDodo.
- D.
Customer Service We may collect information through the eMailDodo website or through our
customer service website in order to, among other things, accurately categorize and respond
to customer inquiries and investigate breaches of our terms.
- E.
Site Usage We may collect information about the fact that you use certain features and
functionality of eMailDodo, interact with third party Platform Applications like InApps,
click on ads, or participate in research initiatives like polling and surveys on eMailDodo.
- F.
Cookies Like most websites, we use cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends,
to improve the quality of our service, to customize your experience on eMailDodo, as well as
to deliver third-party advertising to Users both on and off the eMailDodo site. A cookie is
a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us
to recognize you as a User when you return to the eMailDodo website using the same computer
and web browser. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in
some cases that may impact your ability to use eMailDodo. One type of cookie, known as a
'persistent' cookie, is set once you've logged in to your eMailDodo account. The next time
you visit the eMailDodo website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an
existing User so you will not need to log in before using the Services. In order to access
or change any of your private information (like a credit card number) or to send a message
to another User, however, you must log in securely again with your password even if your
computer contains your persistent cookie. Another type of cookie, called a 'session' cookie,
is used to identify a particular visit to the eMailDodo website. Session cookies expire
after a short time or when you close your web browser. In the course of serving
advertisements or optimizing the Services to our Users, we may allow authorized third
parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to
third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide general
segment information (e.g., your industry or geography) for greater customization of your
user experience. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset
your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. eMailDodo
does not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies.
- G.
Advertising and Web Beacons To support the Services we provide at no cost to our Users, as
well as provide a more relevant and useful experience for our Users, we serve our own ads
and also allow third party advertisements on the site. These advertisements are targeted and
served to Users, by both eMailDodo and other companies, called ad networks. Ad networks
include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms.
Advertisements on eMailDodo may be targeted to Users who fit a certain general profile
category (e.g., 'product managers in Texas') or may be based on anonymized information
inferred from a User's profile (e.g., industry, compensation bracket, gender, age, ethnic
origin, nationality, religion, or other aspects of your life) in addition to a User's use of
the eMailDodo site. eMailDodo does not provide personally identifiable information to any
third party ad network. To increase the effectiveness of ad delivery, we may include a file,
called a web beacon, from an ad network within pages served by eMailDodo. The web beacon
allows the ad network to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for
advertisers. Web beacons also enable the ad networks to serve ads to you when you visit
other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons
from the ad network's servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just
as if you had requested a web page from their site. You may opt-out of use of web beacons in
eMailDodo pages that you view and of placement of a cookie by ad networks in your browser.
To opt-out, click here to go to the 'Partner Advertising' section and change the setting to
'No'. If you opt-out you may lose certain functionality of the eMailDodo Services, as well
as the potential benefit of receiving ads that are targeted to your interests which, in
turn, may limit your ability to fully realize the benefits of the eMailDodo Services to
build and leverage your professional network.
- H.
Log files, IP addresses and information about your computer and mobile device Due to the
communications standards on the internet, when you visit the eMailDodo website we
automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are
going when you leave eMailDodo. eMailDodo also receives the internet protocol ('IP') address
of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer
operating system and type of web browser you are using, email patterns, mobile device
operating system (if you are accessing eMailDodo using a mobile device), as well as the name
of your ISP or your mobile carrier. We use this information to analyze overall trends to
help improve the service. The linkage between your IP address and your personally
identifiable information is not shared with third parties without your permission, except as
described in Section 2.K ('Compliance with Legal Process'), below.
- I.
Linked Accounts If you link your eMailDodo account to another account or service, or use
other, third-party sites or services in conjunction with your eMailDodo account, we may
collect information related to your use of third party sites and services accessed through
eMailDodo or when you access eMailDodo through a third-party site or service.
- J.
Rights to Access, Correct and Eliminate Information About You You have a right to access,
modify, correct and eliminate the data you supplied to eMailDodo. If you update any of your
information, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our
archives for uses documented in this policy. You may request deletion of your information at
any time by contacting eMailDodo customer service. We will respond to your request within 30
days.
- Uses of personal information
- A.
Consent to eMailDodo Processing Information About You The information you provide to
eMailDodo may reveal, or allow others to identify, your nationality, ethnic origin,
religion, gender, age, geography, or other aspects of your private life. By providing
information to us for the purposes of creating your User account or adding any additional
details to your eMailDodo profile, you are expressly and voluntarily accepting the terms and
conditions of this Privacy Policy and eMailDodo's User Agreement that allow eMailDodo to
process information about you. Supplying information to eMailDodo, including any information
deemed 'sensitive' by applicable law, is entirely voluntary on your part. You have the right
to withdraw your consent to eMailDodo's collection and processing of your information at any
time, in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and the User Agreement, by
changing your Settings, or by closing your account, but please note that your withdrawal of
consent will not be retroactive.
- B.
eMailDodo Communications As described in the User Agreement, we will communicate with you
through email and notices posted on the eMailDodo website, messages to your eMailDodo inbox,
or through other means available through the service, including mobile text messages. We may
send you a series of emails that help inform new Users about the features of the Services,
and we will also send you service messages relating to the functioning of the Services. We
may also send you messages with promotional information directly or on behalf of our
partners, unless you have opted out of receiving promotional information. You can change
your e-mail and contact preferences at any time by logging into your account and changing
your settings related to your email notification choices. If you wish, you can also opt-out
of receiving promotional emails by sending a request to eMailDodo customer service through
our customer service site. Please be aware that you cannot opt-out of receiving service
messages from eMailDodo. Also, if we send communications to you via the carrier service with
which you have a mobile communications subscription or otherwise have access, you understand
you will pay any service fees associated with your receipt of messages on your mobile device
(including text messaging charges).
- C.
User Communications Many communications you initiate through eMailDodo (e.g., an invitation
sent to a non-User) will list your primary email address and name in the header of the
message. Messages you initiate may also provide aggregate information about you, but will
not list the people to whom you're directly connected. Other communications that you
initiate through the eMailDodo website, like a request for an introduction, will list your
name as the initiator but will not include your personal email address contact information.
Your contact information will only be shared with another User if both of you have indicated
that you would like to establish contact with each other.
- D.
Customized Content We use information provided to us (or to third parties with whom it
offers combined services) to customize your experience on our website.
- E.
Sharing Information with Third Parties eMailDodo takes the privacy of our Users very
seriously, and we do not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your personally identifiable
information to third parties for marketing purposes. Further, we will only share your
personally identifiable information with third parties to carry out your instructions or to
provide the Services or information unless compelled by law, or as necessary to enforce our
User Agreement or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of eMailDodo, its Users,
and the public. For example, we use a credit card processing company to bill Users for
subscription fees. These third parties do not retain, share, or store any personally
identifiable information except to provide these services, and they are bound by
confidentiality agreements limiting the use of your information. We may provide aggregated
anonymous data about the usage of the Services to third parties for purposes that we deem,
in our sole discretion, to be appropriate, including to prospective advertisers on
eMailDodo.
- F.
Working with Third Parties to Offer Services. We collaborate with third parties to offer
services and functionality using eMailDodo developer tools such as our application
programming interfaces ('APIs'). These third parties are either partners ('eMailDodo
Partners') with whom we have negotiated an agreement to provide services ('Combined
Services'), or developers ('Platform Developers') who have agreed to our API terms in our
developer signup flow to build applications ('Platform Applications'). Both the negotiated
agreements and our API terms and conditions contain restrictions on access, storage and use
of your information. If you choose to use Combined Services or a Platform Application, you
may be asked to confirm acceptance of the privacy policy and/or user agreement of the
eMailDodo Partner or Platform Developer, which have not necessarily been reviewed or
approved by eMailDodo. It is your choice whether or not to make use of Combined Services or
Platform Applications and whether to proceed under any third party terms. Also, despite our
agreements and technical steps taken to restrict access to and avoid possible misuse of
information we may not screen or audit all Combined Services or Platform Applications. We
also cannot guarantee that any eMailDodo Partner or Platform Developer will abide by our
agreement. You agree that your use of Combined Services or Platform Applications is on an
'as is' basis and without any warranty. If you, your connections, members of your network,
or other Users of eMailDodo use or interact with any Combined Service or Platform
Application, the eMailDodo Partner or Platform Developer may access and share certain
information about you with others, such as your profile information and information visible
only to your connections. This includes information about your connections by virtue of you
being connected to others. However, because a Combined Service or Platform Application can
make calls on behalf of the User interacting with it to access non-public information, the
level of detail accessible by the Combined Service or Platform Application through eMailDodo
is constrained by the same settings that govern visibility of your data to that User on
eMailDodo. For example, assuming you have not already given a Platform Developer's
application permission to access your information, your non-public profile information
should not be visible to someone using the same Platform Application if it is not otherwise
accessible to that person on eMailDodo. Please also note that because of our relationship
with certain eMailDodo Partners and Platform Developers, permission to access certain
account information may be automatically granted to provide the combined services or
functionality. If the relevant Platform Developer or Application, or eMailDodo Partner is
not listed under Authorized Applications, go directly to the Application Details page for
the Platform Application you wish to uninstall. Note, however, that even if you revoke the
permission granted a third party, your connections, other members of your network, or other
Users of eMailDodo may still be using the Platform Application, so the Platform Application
or Combined Service may still have access to certain information about you, just as those
Users do. That is why it is important to only connect to Users you know and trust. To report
any suspected misuse of information, contact eMailDodo's customer service. eMailDodo is not
responsible for your use of or inability to use any Combined Service or Platform
Application, including the content, accuracy, or reliability of applications and the privacy
practices or other policies of eMailDodo Partners or Platform Developers.
- G.
Polls and Surveys Polls and Surveys may be conducted by eMailDodo, eMailDodo Users or third
parties. As a User, you may be invited to participate in polls and surveys from the
eMailDodo website. Your selection may be random, or it may be based on your non-personally
identifiable information, such as job title, geography, company. Whether or not you decide
to participate in a poll or survey is completely up to you. After you complete a poll, you
will be given access to the aggregate responses of the poll on a results page. Some third
parties may target advertisements to you on the results page based on your answers in the
poll. Further, eMailDodo or third parties may follow up with you via InMail regarding your
participation unless you have opted out of receiving InMail messages. We may use third
parties to deliver incentives to you to participate in surveys or polls. If the delivery of
incentives requires your contact information, you may be asked to provide personally
identifiable information to the third party fulfilling the incentive offer, which will only
be used for the purpose of delivering incentives and/or verifying your contact information.
It is up to you whether you provide this information, or whether you desire to take
advantage of an incentive. We will not disclose any personally identifiable information to
any third parties in connection with the conduct of any polls or surveys. Your consent to
use any personally identifiable information for the purposes set forth in the poll or survey
will be explicitly requested by the party conducting it.
- H.
Search We offer search services to help find information and learn more about other Users.
We use information from User profiles and contributions to Groups and Questions to inform
and refine our search service.
- I.
Questions, Groups, and other Services If you post on the Questions section of eMailDodo,
participate in eMailDodo Groups, or import a blog, you should be aware that any personally
identifiable information you choose to provide there can be read, collected, or used by
other Users of these forums, as well as Platform Developers and other third parties, and
could be used to send you unsolicited messages. eMailDodo is not responsible for the
information you choose to submit in these forums.
- J.
Testimonials and Advertisements Placed through eMailDodo DirectAds Service If you provide
any testimonials about the eMailDodo Services or place advertisements through the eMailDodo
DirectAds, we may post those testimonials and examples of advertisements you place in
connection with our promotion of these services to third parties. Testimonials and
advertisements may include your name and other personal information that you have provided..
- K.
Compliance with Legal Process It is possible that we may need to disclose personal
information, profile information and/or information about your activities as a eMailDodo
User when required by subpoena or other legal process, or if eMailDodo has a good faith
belief that disclosure is necessary to (a) investigate, prevent or take action regarding
suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (b) to
enforce the User Agreement, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third party
claims or allegations, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and/or (c) to
exercise or protect the rights, property or personal safety of eMailDodo, our Users,
employees, or others.
- L.
Disclosures to others We may also disclose your personal information and other information
you provide to another third party as part of a reorganization or a sale of the assets of
eMailDodo Corporation, a subsidiary or division. Any third party to which eMailDodo
transfers or sells eMailDodo's assets will have the right to continue to use the personal
and other information that you provide to us.
- Your Information Choices
- A.
Accessing and Changing Your Account Information You can review the personal information you
provided to us and make any desired changes to the information you publish, or to the
settings for your eMailDodo account including your email and contact preferences, at any
time by logging in to your account on the eMailDodo website. Please be aware that even after
your request for a change is processed, eMailDodo may, for a time, retain residual
information about you in its backup and/or archival copies of its database.
- B.
Default Settings We have established what we believe to be reasonable default settings that
we have found most professionals desire. Because Users may use and interact with eMailDodo
in a variety of ways, and because those uses may change over time, we designed our settings
to provide our users granular control over the information they share. We encourage our
Users to review their account settings and adjust them in accordance with their preferences.
eMailDodo accounts are also defaulted to allow Users to be contacted to participate in
polls, surveys and partner advertising.
- C.
Closing Your Account You can close your account through the eMailDodo customer service site.
If you close your eMailDodo account, we will remove your name and other personally
identifiable information from our publicly viewable database. If you close your account, we
have no obligation to retain your information, and may delete any or all of your account
information without liability. However, we may retain certain data contributed by you if
eMailDodo believes it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate
business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally identifiable data, account
recovery, or if required by law. eMailDodo may also retain and use your information if
necessary to provide the Services to other Users. For example, just as an email you may send
to another person through an email service provider resides in that person's inbox even
after you delete it from your sent files or close your account, emails or InMails you send
on eMailDodo to other Users, as well as your contributions to eMailDodo Answers or Groups,
may remain visible to others after you have closed your account. Similarly, other
information you have shared with others, or that other Users have copied, may also remain
visible. eMailDodo disclaims any liability in relation to the deletion or retention (subject
to the terms herein) of information or any obligation not to delete the information.
eMailDodo does not control when search engines update their cache, which may contain certain
public profile information that has since been removed from eMailDodo's publicly viewable
database.
- D.
Memorializing Accounts If we learn that a User is deceased, we may memorialize the User's
account. In these cases we may restrict profile access, remove messaging functionality, and
close an account if we receive a formal request from the User's next of kin or other proper
legal request to do so.
- Your Obligations As a User, you have certain obligations to other Users. Some of these
obligations are imposed by applicable law and regulations, and others have become commonplace in
user-friendly communities of like-minded members such as eMailDodo:
- A.
You must, at all times, abide by the terms and conditions of the then-current Privacy Policy
and User Agreement. This includes respecting all intellectual property rights that may
belong to third parties (such as trademarks or photographs).
- B.
You must not download or otherwise disseminate any information that may be deemed to be
injurious, violent, offensive, racist or xenophobic, or which may otherwise violate the
purpose and spirit of eMailDodo and its community of Users.
- C.
You must not provide to eMailDodo and/or other Users information that you believe might be
injurious or detrimental to your person or to your professional or social status.
- D.
You must keep your username and password confidential and not share it with others.
- Any violation of these guidelines may lead to the restriction, suspension or
termination of your account at the sole discretion of eMailDodo.
- Important Information
- A.Children and Minors Children are not eligible
to use our service and we ask that minors (under the age of 18) do not submit any personal
information to us or use the service.
- B.Changes to this Privacy Policy We may update
this Privacy Policy at any time, with or without advance notice. In the event there are
significant changes in the way we treat your personally identifiable information, or in the
Privacy Policy document itself, we will display a notice on the eMailDodo website or send
you an email, as provided for above. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy
applies to all information that eMailDodo has about you and your account. Using the
eMailDodo Services after a notice of changes has been sent to you or published on our site
shall constitute consent to the changed terms or practices.
- Security In order to help secure your personal information, access to your data on
eMailDodo is password-protected, and sensitive data (such as credit card information) is protected
by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and the eMailDodo website. To
protect any data you store on our servers, eMailDodo also regularly audits its system for possible
vulnerabilities and attacks, and we use a tier-one secured-access data center. However, since the
internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to eMailDodo. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed,
disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial
safeguards. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note
that emails, instant messaging, and similar means of communication with other Users of eMailDodo are
not encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through
these means.
