Aggregated Statistics
PikUp may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. PikUp may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, PikUp does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
PikUp discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on PikUp’s behalf or to provide services available at PikUp’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using Pikup’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
PikUp will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, PikUp discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a court order or other governmental request, or when PikUp believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of PikUp, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the PikUp website and have supplied your email address, PikUp may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with PikUp and our products. We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. PikUp takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
