PostArk's Privacy Statement
PostArk Inc. takes the privacy and security of our clients and their customers very seriously. PostArk provides this Internet Privacy Statement because our clients and their customers have a right to know what information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.
Information Collection & Use
Registration for PostArk Client Customers:
In order to receive emails sent by PostArk on behalf of its clients; you must first complete a signup form (a) in a participating store, (b) at an event, (c) by dropping your business card at a location or other collection device that states you are choosing to join the client’s email list, or (d) by registering online through its web site. During registration, you are required to give contact information (such as first and last name, month and day of birth, and email address). The client provides this registration information to us. PostArk collects personally identifiable information from our users during the initial signup process as well as during surveys or preference requests. We use this information to contact you with offers, newsletters and special promotions which you have expressed interest in receiving.
You have the option to provide demographic information (such as gender and zip code) to us; we encourage you to submit this information so we can provide you a more personalized experience. If you elect not to provide such demographic information, you may still participate in the client’s program offerings.
Communications may include offers, newsletters, updates, special promotions, surveys and unsubscribe confirmations.
In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, PostArk requires all children under age thirteen (13) to obtain parental consent to join any of our lists. All terms of our privacy policy apply to children under 13.
Uses of Customer Information
Your email address is used only to send email that was requested. PostArk follows an opt-in permission-based email enrollment policy. PostArk will not send unsolicited, bulk or commercial offers or advertisements. PostArk will NOT rent, sell, trade or loan our clients’ lists to anyone. All emails contain links to unsubscribe from the list. You may leave our clients' lists at anytime for any reason. If you have any questions or feel that you received unsolicited email please contact us at support@postark.com.
PostArk will use personally identifiable information to contact you when responding to email support requests and other direct requests for information from PostArk. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
Surveys or Contests
From time to time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in web-based contests or surveys. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), demographic information (such as zip code) and personal preference information (such as your opinions). This information is used by our clients to better understand their customers.
PostArk may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company is prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with any third party except with the client unless we give you prior notice and you elect to permit the provision of that information to the third party.
Forward to a Friend
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about an email club to which you subscribe, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. This process will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to join the client email list. PostArk stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program, after which the names collected are removed from the database.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
PostArk only shares your data with the client from which you have requested to receive offers. We do not provide the client with your personally identifiable data; however, we do share reports about your statistics and information about your preferences. While the client retains ownership of the your data, it has agreed that PostArk retains sole management during the term of their Agreement and that it will not rent, sell or otherwise provide to third parties.
If PostArk merges or is combined with any other organization, or if PostArk transfers all or substantially all of its assets or operations to another organization, it may disclose information it collects from you to the other organization so that the other organization can continue to provide services to you. The other organization will be bound by this policy.
Service Providers
We use third parties to provide data entry for our client list member enrollment. When you sign up for an email club, we will share your enrollment information with our data entry company so that the third party can provide the service. Such third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Upon request from a PostArk client, PostArk may use a third party vendor to fulfill promotions on behalf of PostArk and the client. Any third party vendor to PostArk is contractually prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to (a) protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Company; (b) protect and defend PostArk’s rights or property or the users of our services, and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our services or the public.
Opt-out/Unsubscribe

Clear Gifs
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Opt-out/Unsubscribe.”
