People Reaching People (PRP), owned and operated by Lighthouse Investments, Inc., is a web place where we hope you can get support for your life challenges while maintaining your anonymity. We only ask the most basic personal information so that your identity cannot be determined by us or others. Please do NOT reveal any personal identifying information to other members, EVEN IF you think you have learned to trust and have confidence in them. This is not intended to be a place to meet people for face to face relationships.
Do NOT reveal home addresses, phone numbers or anything else that you wouldn't want a stranger to have. Please be aware that all information (including photos or videos) that you post on public sections of the community and all information (excluding your e-mail address and your password) that is contained in your PRP profile can be seen by every Member and Visitor to the Site.
By using any part of the PRP website, you are accepting the PRP Terms of Service, you consent to the use and disclosure of personal information that you provide to us as outlined in this Privacy Statement. As PRP improves its services, we may modify the Privacy Statement, and urge you to check here for updates from time to time. Lighthouse Investments, Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, distribute or otherwise abuse your personally identifiable information.
This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you of our policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of any Personal Information and Anonymous Information you submit to us through our Site.
"Personal Information" is information about you that is personally identifiable to you, like your name, address, e-mail address, or phone number, as well as other non-public information that we may gather.
"Anonymous Information" means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information; Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of individual persons. We collect and use Personal Information and Anonymous Information as described in this Privacy Policy from the visitors to our Site ("Visitors"), and from the registered users of our Site ("Members") as described in this Privacy Policy.
User Consent
BY SUBMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH OUR SITE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED BY PRP IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THE GOVERNMENTS OF SOME COUNTRIES DO NOT HONOR PRIVACY AND MAY ACCESS OR USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES. PLEASE USE CAUTION.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Personal Information we gather from you helps us learn about visitors to the Site, our customers and potential customers. We use this information to better tailor the features, performance and support of our products and services, and to offer you additional information and opportunities.
PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US
We collect the following Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily:
When you register on the Site to become a Member of our Site, we collect your e-mail address, a username that you choose and a password. We encourage you to use a username, password, and email address unique to this site that will not readily identify your real name or other personally identifying information. We may also collect (at your option) your gender, date of birth, the city, state and country where you live and other additional information you may volunteer.
When you contact us by e-mail with an inquiry, or to apply for a position at PRP, we will collect your name, e-mail address and any information contained in the e-mail you send us, as well as any documents and materials attached to such e-mail
When you provide us with feedback, we will collect your e-mail address and the feedback that you submit.
We collect any information, including Personal Information, that you voluntarily provide, either by posting it on the Site or by adding it to your personal profile.
PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA TECHNOLOGY
As you navigate the Site, certain information may also be collected passively, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, domain names, access times, and operating system. We also use cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the information and services for which you searched and which you viewed. This type of information is collected to make our products and services and the site more useful to you and others.
An "Internet protocol address "or "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session. If it remains constant, your IP address may identify you.
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that a web site sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing a web site. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Site. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your internet browser help file directions. If you choose to disable Cookies, some areas of the Site may not work properly.
USE OF INFORMATION
In general, Personal Information you submit to us is used by us either to respond to inquiries and requests that you make, to enable us to get in contact with you, or to aid us in providing better services and products to you. We will use resumes that you submit to us to consider you for a position at PRP. We may also use your Personal Information to provide you with newsletters, unless you request not to receive such communications from us.
One of the ideas behind our Site is that Members share information with other Members. Therefore, you should assume that any information (including photos and videos) that you provide, enter into, or post on public sections of the Site (excluding the e-mail address you provide and the password you select during signing up) will be visible to every Visitor and Member.
We may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you. We may use this Anonymous Information to analyze inquiry, request, and usage patterns so that we may enhance services and Site. PRP reserves the right to use and disclose Anonymous Information to third parties in its discretion.
FEEDBACK
If you provide feedback on any of our products or services to us, we may use such feedback for any purpose, provided we will not associate such feedback with your Personal Information. PRP will collect any information contained in such communication and will treat the Personal Information in such communication in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
MESSAGE BOARDS AND OTHER PUBLIC FORUMS
As a service to our Visitors and Members, we feature message boards, chat rooms, and other public forums (each, a "Public Area") where users with similar interests or medical conditions can share information and support one another, or where users can post questions for experts to answer. Any information that you reveal in a chat room, message board or online discussion is by design open to the public. Requests may be posted anonymously. Chat and e-mail communications between Members and other Member or Groups are stored on PRP servers for a certain amount of time and available for review by PRP only for internal uses. You should think carefully before disclosing any Personal Information in any Public Area. What you post may be seen, disclosed to, or collected by third parties, and may be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not generally trade, rent, or share your Personal Information with third parties.
Although we currently do not have a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively, "Affiliates"), we may in the future. We may share some or all of your Personal Information with these Affiliates, in which case we will require our Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy.
If our company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Regardless of any choices you make regarding your Personal Information (as described below), we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on PRP; or (b) to protect and defend the rights or property of PRP or third parties.
YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We offer you choices regarding the collection, use and sharing of your Personal Information. When you receive daily updates or newsletters, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further communications from us and you will have the opportunity to "opt-out" by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the e-mail you receive or by contacting us directly (please see contact information below). Despite your indicated e-mail preferences, we may send you notices of any updates to our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy.
REGARDING CHILDREN
We do not intentionally gather Personal Information about visitors who are minors.
PARENTS: You should always supervise your children's use of the Internet. For information about commercially available products to assist you in filtering material that you may consider harmful to minors, please see www.internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com or www.wisechoice.net/ or other similar sites.
OTHER SITES
Our provision of a link to any other website or location is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of our Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites. You should look for and review the privacy statements of each and every website that you visit through a link on our Site.
SECURITY
PRP is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Information. We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Even though PRP has taken significant steps to ensure that your Personal Information is not intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed by unauthorized persons, you should know that PRP cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information.
CHOICE/OPT-OUT
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for or send information. Our registration form has an 'opt-out' mechanism to allow for removal from newsletters, promotions, etc., and registered users can always choose to 'opt-out' by following the appropriate mechanism from within their personal zone within PRP. Users of our site will always be notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
