Platrium Privacy Notice
Scope
This privacy policy applies to information, including personal information, collected about you by Platrium LLC, its Websites, its software available from those Websites, and its affiliates.
-
We collect personal information about you from a variety of sources, including:
- When you provide information to us directly
- When we collect information about you when you visit our site, use our services, view or click on advertisements
-
We use information about you to provide products and services you request, to communicate with you about our products, services, and technical subjects, and to manage our sites and services. We do not use personally-identifiable information (PII) to display advertising or for profiling; nor do we sell, rent or lease it to third parties.
Our software product may require personal information to work, like Messenger products that need your IM address. We only collect PII that you voluntarily provide; our software product collects non-PII, like Web site information, to use to display relevant advertising.

You may choose to not receive marketing communications from Platrium at any time. We will send mandatory technical and service communications occasionally. You may review and edit you personal information either through our Web site or by contacting our customer service.
-
Important Information
Platrium products and services may provide links to third party sites. We assume no responsibility for the privacy policies on those sites and encourage you to read them carefully.

Information Collection
Our mission is to provide our customers with valuable products and services from Platrium and our approved partners based on the amount and kind of information you want to share with us. We believe individuals should participate in the ways their personal information is collected, used and shared.
We collect non-personally identifiable information (non-PII) and personally-identifying information (PII) from our customers and visitors to our Web site. We only collect PII when a customer explicitly chooses to provide it, as when signing up for Platrium membership or requesting information or making an inquiry. We do not knowingly collect PII from anyone under the age of 13.
We provide access to games, screensavers, emoticons, and other fun and valuable products and services without requiring you to provide us with your personally identifiable information, or PII. When a customer downloads and installs Platrium, we collect non-PII, including a unique machine tag that does not enable us to identify, contact, or locate the individual customer.
You can choose to become a Platrium member, enjoying a higher level of communications, engagement and service, by providing some simple and basic PII, like user name, password, and email address. It's your choice. Either way, you can enjoy Platrium at no charge to you – the advertising we serve you makes it all possible.
When individuals visit our Website(s), we collect information usage information including IP address, browser and operating systems types, pages visited, amount of time spent on the pages, prior page visited and prior Web site visited (referrer).
Information Uses
We use both PII and non-PII to develop, market and sell our products and services. We share non-PII in aggregated forms with selected approved partners. We share non-PII with partners fulfilling specific functions or providing services on our behalf, such as advertising. This aggregated non-PII cannot be used to identify, locate or contact any individual customer. These partners are contractually required to use the data only on our behalf and not for any other purposes. We never sell, rent, lease, share or transfer our customers’ PII to third parties.
We use PII where permitted by or required by law, to enforce our rights, protect our property, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or protect the safety of our members. We use Web usage information to improve the functionality of our Web site or improve visitor online experiences. We use “cookies” on our Web site in the following ways:
- to aid visitors in site navigation during a session
- to enable customers to be known when they return and log into our Web site
- to analyze how visitors, in the aggregate, use our Web site, in order to make our site more useful
- We do not use cookies to collect or store personal information
Your Choices
We offer you choices for your personal information. You may choose not to receive marketing materials from Platrium, and you may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Platrium by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. These communications choices do not apply to mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain Platrium services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.
Those customers who choose to join the Platrium club may review, change or delete their PII at any time through our Website or our customer service support. We will make reasonable efforts to correct, change, or remove your personal information from our systems on a timely basis. Please be aware that we cannot remove non-PII because we are unable to use it to identify an individual.
Platrium Privacy Policy
At Platrium LLC, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to (a) any Web site (“Web site”) that references this Policy and is provided by Platrium or its affiliates (“we” or “Platrium”) and (b) to those Platrium-owned software products made available to you from a Web site (“Software”). Please see below for important information on third party software products made available from the Web sites. This Privacy Policy governs information you provide to us or that we learn from you by your use of our Web sites and Software, and tells you how we may collect, use, and in some instances, share this information.
What We Collect and Use
Cookies
By accessing any Web site, Platrium may place cookies on your hard drive. Platrium uses cookies to enable you to sign in to certain services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web server. Some cookies are used only to assist you with your session on a Web site and expire automatically when you terminate that session. Platrium also uses cookies to improve the sign-in experience on certain Web sites. For example, your user ID may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you terminate your session. This cookie allows your user ID to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to type your password the next time you sign in. Platrium may place a cookie on your hard disk on behalf of a sponsor when an advertisement for that sponsor is shown, so that the sponsor can measure the effectiveness of that advertisement. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer and can only be accessed or read by the domain that placed them. Though most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually modify your browser settings to manage who can set cookies on your computer. If you choose to block our cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use certain features of our Web site.
User-Provided Information
In order to utilize the services at some Web sites, you may be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information, such as account information (user name and password), credit card information (card type, account number, expiration date, and billing address), banking information (Swift/ABA routing number, account number, bank name and address), PayPal email, email address, IM user ID, name and company name, tax identification number, and home or work address and telephone number, as well as certain demographic information such as city, state, country and zip code (“PII”). Platrium uses your PII to deliver the services you have requested and to communicate with you, including certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from Platrium. We only collect PII that you voluntarily provide to us. If you provide a friend’s email address to Platrium for the “refer-a-friend” feature, we use that email address only for the purpose of sending your friend the email you requested. Platrium does not utilize PII for the purpose of displaying advertisements or for profiling and we do not sell, rent or lease PII to third parties.
Software
In order to use Software, you may be asked to provide certain information. For example, messenger Software products request information including IM account information (screen names and passwords) and personal information (including your email address, date of birth, gender, and primary language). Desktop tool Software products, request information including your astrological sign, zip code, TV service provider, type of service, and channel line-up. You voluntarily provide all such information. Platrium does not utilize such information for the purpose of displaying advertisements or profiling and does not sell, rent or lease such information to third parties.
Our Software product automatically collects information from you to enable the Software’s services. By installing the Software, you authorize Platrium to periodically collect certain information (1) (e.g., keywords and portions of Web site addresses or complete URLs) from the Web sites you visit and upload this information to our servers so that we may display targeted advertisements to you while you are connected to the Internet; and (2) (e.g., button impressions and clicks) from the Toolbar products in your web browser and/or email application and upload this information to our servers so that we may enhance the content offered to you. The Software does not collect, store, or use PII, and Platrium does not receive PII, as a result of your use of this Software.
Third Party Software
Third party software from a Platrium partner may be included with the Software. Your registration for and use of any third party software is subject to that third party’s privacy policy, if any. If you register for or use third party software, you should assume that both Platrium and the third party software provider will receive any information collected by Platrium in conjunction with your registration, and Platrium’s use of your information is subject to this Privacy Policy. To determine how a Platrium partner may use your registration information, or may otherwise independently be collecting other information through your use of third party software, please refer to the third party software provider’s privacy policy.
No Information from Minors
You must be at least 18 years of age to use this Web site or Software.
IP Addresses
Your use of any Software or Web site will involve the transmission of your Internet protocol address ("IP Address") to Platrium’s servers. Communication with your computer via the Internet requires this IP Address and it may be used and stored on our servers. We use IP Addresses to determine the general geographic locations of our users; we do not link IP addresses to identify you personally for marketing purposes.
Information Disclosures
From time to time, Platrium may contract with third party service providers to help us operate our site, conduct other aspects of our business, or improve the services that we provide to you. Some of these service providers may have access to non-PII and/or pseudonymous information collected through this Web site or your use of any Software, but only if we deem such access to be necessary to perform the services that we request. In these circumstances, we will require our service providers to commit that they will not use the information they receive from Platrium for any purposes other than we require.
Additionally, Platrium may disclose your information as it believes is reasonably necessary to comply with laws, regulations, or other governmental authority, or to prevent harm to yourself or others. Platrium may also disclose your information upon a transfer or sale to another entity of all or substantially all of Platrium’s stock or assets in Platrium’s line of business to which this Privacy Policy relates or upon any other corporate reorganization.
Third Party Collection
The Software may display advertisements that are hosted by third parties ("Third Party Hosted Advertisements"). These Third Party Hosted Advertisements may place cookies on your hard drive and use those cookies to tailor content delivered to you by profiling your use of a site or by advertisements you select. These Third Party Hosted Advertisements may collect information such as your IP address, your browser type and the date and time that the targeted Third Party Web site was served to you.
