PRIVACY STATEMENT

This privacy statement (the “Statement”) covers Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc.'s (“Hopkins Mailing Services” “us,” or “our”) website, hopkinsmailing.com. By using our website, you consent to the data practices described in this Statement, as the same may be updated from time to time. 

SCOPE

This Statement covers Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc.'s treatment of personally identified information that we collect when you are on the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. website, and when you use our services. This Statement also covers our treatment of any personally identified information that our business partners share with us.

This Statement does not apply to the practices of companies that Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. does not own or control, or to individuals that Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. does not employ or manage, including operators of websites to which you may link from the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. website. This Statement also does not apply to any offline collection of personally identified information, or the treatment of the same when such information is collected outside of the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. website.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE GATHER?

The only individually identified information that we collect about you is that which you choose to share with us during registration, when using our products and services, or when responding to offers from Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. or from our business partners. We also collect information about aggregate site usage. Statistics that we gather about unique visits, referring URLs, repeat visits and page views are all based on IP address, and are not associated with your personal information.

WHY DO WE ASK FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU?

In order to use the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. service, users may be required to set up individual accounts. This may require the completion of a registration form. This information is used to identify the specific individual utilizing the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. service. Users may provide optional identifying information, demographic information, and unique identifiers to enable us to provide a more personalized experience on the site. 

We may share aggregate information (information that is not specifically identified to you) with our partners and advertisers. We will not share your personally identified information with any third party, unless we tell you otherwise when we collect the information, you have consented by "opting in" to being contacted by Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc., its third party partners or advertisers, or we have informed you of a change to our Statement so that you can then choose to opt out. We will give you a way to "opt out" of being contacted by Hopkins Mailing Services.

 In short, the information you provide us can help us to understand how to make our website more convenient and useful to our audience. 

We also collect information about aggregate website usage. Statistics that we gather about unique visits, repeat visits and page views are all based on IP address, not on your individual activities.

 The information we gather is supplemented with information provided by third party sources, and may be used to derive additional data to enhance our databases. For example, zip code information you provide may be used to derive city and state information or may be used to add demographics data.

How do you update the information you provided during registration?

To update or correct the personally identified information that you shared with us during registration, sign into your member account on the website using your member ID and password. Once signed in, click on the "my account" link, and follow the steps to edit your member information and to confirm your changes.

Opting-Out. Here is how it works at Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc.:

We do not share personally identified information with anyone, unless we need to do so to provide services to you (e.g., sending credit card information to a credit card processor), we tell you otherwise when we collect the information, you "opt in" to having your information shared with third parties, or we have informed you of a change to this Statement so that you can then choose to opt out. Additionally, we may disclose personally identified information with third parties if (1) we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an applicable law, a valid legal process, or to exercise our legal rights (including, without limitation, a violation of the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. website Terms and Conditions of Use or other agreement between Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. and you), or to defend against legal claims; (2) we have a good faith belief that access, preservation, or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or the public, including disclosure of criminal activity or the violation of the rights of others; or (3) if all or a portion of a business of Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. is transferred in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether assets, stock, or otherwise).

 Except as stated above, when we ask you for personally identified information, we will tell you if we intend to share it with others. We will provide you with a way to tell us that you don't want us to share the information or if you don't want to receive promotional and/or marketing information about products, services, and offerings from Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. and/or any third parties. We will also provide you with a way to update your personally identified information that you share with us during registration. Once you have "opted in" and agreed that your information may be shared with third parties or you have responded to an offer by any third party on the Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. websites, Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. can no longer update any of your personally identified information that has been transferred to such third parties or opt you out of such third parties so that you no longer receive their promotional and/or marketing information. Instead, you must either contact that third party or refer to their privacy policy to update your personally identified information or to let them know that you no longer want to receive promotional and/or marketing information about their products, services, or offerings. The privacy policies and practices of these third parties may differ from this Statement. You may not opt-out of the uses stated above or our internal uses of your personally identified information.

Hopkins Mailing Services, Inc. may, from time-to-time use the names of businesses that have accounts with Hopkins Mailing Services in Hopkins Mailing Services marketing or advertising materials, in order to show prospective customers the types of businesses that have accounts with Hopkins Mailing Services. If you do not want Hopkins Mailing Services to use your company name in this manner, send an email to info@hopkinsmailing.com and so state. We will send you a confirmation email. Make sure that you receive the confirmation email so as to assure that the transaction was completed.
