This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect through our website, mobile application and all other interactive services we provide, and all of the associated content, functionalities and advertising (collectively the “Services”). This Privacy Policy governs the Services regardless of how you access them.
1. Information you provide.
We may collect information about you during your use of the Services, including but not limited to your name, username, password, email address, postal address, phone number, mobile phone number, payment information, gender, birth year. This information is not collected if you decide not to offer it. Providing such information is voluntary on your part.
2. Automatically-collected information.
We may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Services. For example, we may collect and analyze information such as:
(a) IP addresses, geolocation information (as described in the next section below), unique device identifiers including mobile advertising identifiers and other information about your mobile phone or other mobile device(s), browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed the Services; and
(b) information related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as: referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, clicked items, interaction with advertisements, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, mouse hover including location and time spent on each area of the page, the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of your use of the Services, error logs, and other similar information.
As described further below, we may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting and analyzing this information.
We may also capture other data, such as search criteria and results. In some cases, we will associate this information with a unique identifier for our internal use, in which case your identifier will be considered padailypost.com information and nothing in this Privacy Policy restricts how padailypost.com may use this information.
3. Location information
We may collect different types of information about your location, including general information (e.g., IP address, ZIP code) and more specific information (e.g., GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access the Services), and may use that information to customize the Services with location-based information, advertising, and features. For example, if your IP address indicates an origin in downtown Mountain View, the Services may be customized with downtown Mountain View-specific information and advertisements. In order to do this, your location information may be shared with our agents, vendors or advertisers. If you access the Services through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this.
4. Cookies.
“Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a website transfers to an indivdual’s hard drive or other website browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow padailypost.com to remember important information that will make your use of the site more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value.
Like most websites, we use cookies for a variety of purposes in order to improve your online experience, for analytics and for marketing, but we specifically use Cookies for the following purposes.
a. Analytical Purposes: We use Cookies to analyze user activity in order to improve padailypost.com. For example, using Cookies we can easily look at aggregate patterns like the average number job searches users perform. We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of padailypost.com.
b. Your preferences: We use Cookies to store certain user preferences. For example, we may store the recent searches you have performed in a Cookie so that we can allow you to easily repeat those searches when you return to padailypost.com.
c. Marketing: We use Cookies from third-party partners such as Google for marketing purposes. These Cookies allow us to display padailypost.com promotional material to you on other sites you visit across the Internet.
By using or accessing padailypost.com, you are consenting to padailypost.com’s use of Cookies as described above.
5. We share user information with third parties.
We may make your information available to other companies, websites, applications or people in the circumstances described below:
We may rent, sell, or share your information with third parties: (a) in order to provide services or products that you have requested; (b) when we have your permission; or (c) as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may provide access to or share your information with select third parties who perform services on our behalf. These third parties provide a variety of services to us, including without limitation billing, sales, marketing, provision of content and features, advertising, analytics, research, customer service, shipping and fulfillment, data storage, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and legal services.
We may access, disclose, transfer and preserve your information when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:
• Protect our users and our legal rights, privacy or safety;
• Comply with the law including with subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, and other legal processes; and respond to inquiries or requests from government, regulatory bodies, law enforcement, public authorities, or content protection organizations;
• Permit us to pursue available remedies, commence, participate in, or defend litigation, or limit the damages that we may sustain;
• Enforce this Privacy Policy or any applicable padailypost.com Terms of Service.
6. Our use of online analytics.
We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as those of Google Analytics and similar providers. These service providers use the sort of technology described in Section 2 to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section.
7. Tailored advertising.
Third parties, including without limitation those whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Services, may place cookies or other tracking technologies (such as mobile “SDKs,” which function like a mobile version of a browser cookie and are embedded in mobile applications) on your computer browser, mobile phone applications, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our websites and other sites and mobile applications and (ii) report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our websites, mobile applications, and use of our Services. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google AdSense) to serve tailored ads to you on the Services, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services so that tailored ads may be delivered to you when you are using other websites and mobile applications. We also may share with third-party advertisers a hashed version of your email address, which may be identified by a service provider for purposes of delivering tailored advertising on the Services, other websites, and/or mobile applications.
If you have a Google account, we may use Google Analytics to display advertising to you. You can opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. You will need to log in to Google via the Sign In link if you are not already logged in when you visit that page.
8. California Do-Not-Track disclosure requirements.
We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals because the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations and solutions.
9. How we protect information.
We have implemented a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the unauthorized access, destruction or alteration of your information. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee that information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
10. Use of the Services by children.
The Services are not intended for persons under the age of 13. By using the Services, you hereby represent that you are at least 13 years old. Third parties may also provide content categories on some of the Services. These categories likewise shall have no bearing on this limitation.

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their “personal information” (if any, and as defined under applicable California law) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties. If you are a California resident and would like to request this information, please submit your request in an email to [email protected].
