Information processing on our site relies on relatively simple methods--we use third party processing for credit card transactions, and we do not ask for personal information in order to post. Even though ours is a simple system, and we do take steps to assure your privacy and security, you must still use common sense in posting, and responding to notices.

Email management

Whether you post notices or answer, or interact with the public in any way using email on the internet, your email address can be picked up by mass-market advertisers or those spreading viruses. You should exercise caution in responding to unsolicited emails you receive, and keep your anti-virus software up-to-date. You may also consider the type of email you use when communicating with the general public.

One way to secure your email is by using a web-based system. We are not recommending any particular service, but as an example, we'll describe Yahoo.com. This site utilizes built-in systems that help block spam and offers methods for the user to block addresses or domains. They also scan for viruses, and you can obtain an account at no charge. One other advantage of using web-based email for use with the public is the relative ease with which you can change addresses should you wish to.

Keeping your anti-virus software current, and exercising common sense in responding should enable you to manage your email safely.

Data collection

Postanotice, or people who post on Postanotice, may provide links to third party websites, which may have different privacy practices. We are not responsible for, nor have any control over, the privacy policies of those third party websites, and encourage all users to read the privacy policies of each and every website visited.

We do collect email addresses and other contact information such as name(s), phone/fax number(s), and addresses for the following purposes: sending links to complete notice postings, reminders of expiration dates for certain notices, and other service related information sent to organizations.

Postanotice does not store credit card information. Credit card transactions are transmitted to a financial gateway.

We may collect personal information if you provide it in feedback or comments, post it on our boards, or if you contact us directly.

Our web logs collect standard web log entries for each page served, including your IP address, page URL, and timestamp. Web logs help us to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the Postanotice site, and to otherwise provide our service to you.

Stored information

All postings are stored in our database, even after "deletion," and may be archived elsewhere.
Our web logs and other records are stored indefinitely. Although we make good faith efforts to store information in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, we cannot guarantee complete security.

Search engines and other sites not affiliated with Postanotice - including archive.org, google.com, and groups.yahoo.com - may archive or otherwise make available Postanotice postings, including resumes.

Releasing information

Postanotice may disclose information about its users to law enforcement officers or others, in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; enforce our Terms of Use; respond to claims that any posting or other content violates the rights of third-parties; or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Postanotice, its users or the general public.

International Users

By visiting our web site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that due to the international dimension of Postanotice we may use the data collected in the course of our relationship for the purposes identified in this policy or in our other communications with you, including the transmission of information outside your resident jurisdiction. In addition, please understand that such data may be stored on servers located in the United States. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data.
