It is Wishpoke’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our products. This Privacy Policy applies to Wishpoke (hereinafter, "us", "we", or "Wishpoke"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Products. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Products, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Products and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Products, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Products. Depending on your activities when visiting our Products, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.
Like most products operators, Wishpoke collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Wishpoke’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Wishpoke’s Users use its products. From time to time, Wishpoke may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its products.
Wishpoke also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Wishpoke blog posts. Wishpoke only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below
Certain Users to Wishpoke’s products choose to interact with Wishpoke in ways that require Wishpoke to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Wishpoke gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask Users who sign up for Wishpoke to provide a username and email address.
We also get technical information when you use our products
These days, whenever you use a website, mobile application, or other internet service, there’s certain information that almost always gets created and recorded automatically. The same is true when you use our products. Here are some of the types of information we collect:
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Wishpoke and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

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. Wishpoke takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
