Policy Summary:
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

The Peoples Podium is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors’ personally identifiable information (“PII”). To better inform you of our privacy practices, we provide this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), explaining our online information collection, storage and use practices, and the choices that you have regarding the way that your PII is used by us.
Personally Identifiable Information Collected:
We collect PII when you register or sign up to be a Commenter, Contributor and/or for The Peoples Podium offerings.

The PII that we request in connection with the registration process may include, but is not limited to, your: (a) full name; (b) e-mail address; (c) mailing address; (c) daytime and/or cellular telephone numbers; (d) date of birth; and/or (e) any other information requested on the applicable form. We may also collect your PII when you otherwise agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, but do not complete the applicable registration process in full.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information Collected:
We may collect certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”) about you when you visit any of the Site’s pages, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows, IOS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., Verizon, Time Warner). We use the Non-PII that we collect to improve the design and content of the Site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze Site usage.
Cookies:
When a user visits the Site, we may send one (1) or more cookies and/or gif files (collectively, “Cookies”) to assign an anonymous, unique identifier to the applicable user’s computer or other device. A Cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing non-personally identifiable information about you. Cookies have many benefits to enhance your experience at the Site. To find out more about Cookies, please visit www.cookiecentral.com. We use Cookies to improve the quality of the Site, including for storing user preferences, improving ad selection and tracking Site-user trends (such as pages opened and length of stay at the Site).
Most Internet 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. To disable and reject certain Cookies, follow the instructions associated with your Internet browser. Even in the case where a user rejects a Cookie, he or she may still use the Site; provided, however, that certain functions of the Site and/or The Peoples Podium offerings may be impaired or rendered inoperable if the use of Cookies is disabled. We reserve the right to retain Cookie data indefinitely.
Behavioral Tracking:
We allow third-party companies to collect certain information when users visit our Site. These third party entities may utilize cookies, pixels or other tracking technologies to collect and use both personally identifiable information (e.g., your name, phone number, physical or electronic address) and non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to the Site and other websites in order to serve you with advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you.
In general, users may be able to disable some, but not all, of this tracking activity by utilizing the “Do Not Track” setting or similar options within most major Internet browsers. To learn more about these behavioral advertising practices, and/or to opt-out of this type of advertising where available, you can visit the websites of the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info or Networking Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices.
Cross Device Tracking:
The Peoples Podium tracks your use of The Peoples Podium offerings across various devices, including your personal computer and mobile device, in order to optimize and personalize your The Peoples Podium offerings experience. The Peoples Podium may collect certain of your PII across various devices.
Use and Sharing of PII:
We use the PII that you supply to personalize your experience with the Site. The PII that you submit to The Peoples Podium remains your property, but by submitting that PII to The Peoples Podium you grant The Peoples Podium the right, subject to applicable state and federal law, to use that PII for marketing purposes.
We will contact you via email from The Peoples Podium with relevant information and special opportunities, including our newsletters. With regard to other PII besides your email address and phone number, we reserve the right to share, sell, rent or lease such PII (other than email address and phone number) with/to any third-party for any and all uses permitted by this Privacy Policy and applicable law. These third-parties may include, but shall not be limited to: (a) providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; (b) telemarketers (where permitted by applicable law); and (d) direct marketers.
You also agree that we may contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information that we may deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your continued use of the Site and/or The Peoples Podium offerings.
We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail, removing duplicate information from user lists, analyzing data and providing marketing analysis. The agents performing these limited functions on our behalf shall have access to our users’ PII as needed to perform these functions for us, but we do not permit them to use user PII for other purposes.
We will also use your PII for customer service, to provide you with information that you may request, to customize your experience with the The Peoples Podium offerings and/or to contact you when necessary in connection with your use of the The Peoples Podium offerings. We may also use your PII for internal business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our service offerings including, without limitation, the The Peoples Podium offerings. We may also combine the information we have gathered about you with information from other sources.
By submitting your PII by and through the The Peoples Podium offerings, you agree that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the “Rule”) and applicable state do-not-call regulations. As such, notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, and/or on applicable state do-not-call lists, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule and applicable state do-not-call regulations.
Where you provide “prior express consent” within the meaning of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC § 227), and its implementing regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (47 CFR § 64.1200), as amended from time-to-time (“TCPA”), you consent to receive telephone calls from The Peoples Podium, including artificial voice calls, pre-recorded messages and/or calls (including SMS text messages) delivered via automated technology, to the telephone number(s) that you provided. Please note that you are not required to provide this consent in order to obtain access to the The Peoples Podium offerings, and your consent simply allows The Peoples Podium to contact you via these means.
Please be advised that by agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are obligated to immediately inform us if and when the telephone number that you have previously provided to us changes. Without limiting the foregoing, if you: (i) have your telephone number reassigned to another person or entity; (ii) give up your telephone number so that it is no longer used by you; (iii) port your telephone number to a landline or vice versa; or (iv) otherwise stop using that telephone number for any reason (collectively “Phone Number Change”), you agree that you shall promptly notify The Peoples Podium of the Phone Number Change via e-mail at: [email protected], or by using one of the methods set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.
The Peoples Podium is able to offer its Services to you, in part, based on your willingness to be reached by our third-party advertisers. Your PII (other than email address) will be shared with advertisers on an aggregate and non-aggregate basis. Please keep in mind that The Peoples Podium does not control, and is not responsible for, the practices of our third-party advertisers. If you wish to stop receiving future communications from us and/or third party advertisers, or if you wish to prevent the transfer and/or sale of your PII to third parties (subject to restrictions contained in applicable state and federal law), please see the Opting-Out/Unsubscribe section below.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, The Peoples Podium reserves the right to release current or past PII: (A) in the event that we believe that the Site is being or has been used in violation of the https://thepeoplespodium.com Terms and Conditions, or to otherwise commit unlawful acts; (B) if the information is subpoenaed; provided, however, that, where permitted by applicable law, we shall provide you with e-mail notice, and opportunity to challenge the subpoena, prior to disclosure of any PII pursuant to a subpoena; or (C) if The Peoples Podium is sold, merged, acquired or the subject of bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, if The Peoples Podium is involved in a bankruptcy proceeding, merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Site of any change in ownership or uses of your PII, as well as any choices that you may have regarding your PII.
You hereby consent to the disclosure of any record or communication to any third-party when we, in our sole discretion, determine the disclosure to be appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with third-parties for suppression purposes in compliance with applicable law, including the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time-to-time. Users should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit PII to be shared or transferred to third-parties without permission.
Third Party Links:
The Site may contain links to third-party websites (“Third Party Websites”). Please be aware that The Peoples Podium is not responsible for the privacy practices of Third Party Websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Site and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that collects PII. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the Site.
Security:
All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. We take precautions to protect PII both online and off-line. Where our registration/application process prompts Users to enter sensitive data (such as credit card information and/or Social Security Number), and when we store and transmit such sensitive data, that information is encrypted with advanced TLS (Transport Layer Security).
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your PII, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. All of our users’ information, not just PII, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to PII. Furthermore, access to this information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action.
Please note that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software supporting the Site or other websites under the control of The Peoples Podium constitutes a crime punishable by law. We will turn over to authorities, any and all evidence relating to a potential breach of security or other abuse against our network, servers, databases or other such supporting equipment or software. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your PII. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.
Minors:
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children. The Peoples Podium will never knowingly collect any personal information from individuals under eighteen (18) years of age. If The Peoples Podium obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information of a minor, that information will be immediately deleted from our database.

Please be advised that, after you delete your PII, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems.
