This Privacy Policy explains how Maetheon Limited ("we", "us", "our"), the company behind PNT Picker, handles information when you use our website at pntpicker.com and the PNT Picker tool. We have tried to write it in plain language rather than dense legal wording, because you should be able to understand what happens to your information without a law degree. If anything here is unclear, email us at [email protected], and we will explain.
Who we are
PNT Picker is owned and operated by Maetheon Limited, a company registered in the United Kingdom. For any privacy questions, or to exercise the rights described below, contact us at [email protected].
The information we collect
We collect only what we need to run the service and support you. In practice, that falls into a few categories.
Account information. When you sign up, we collect the email address you register with and the details needed to manage your account and subscription. This lets us give you access to the tool and get in touch about your account when necessary.
Payment information. Subscriptions are handled by Stripe, our payment processor. When you pay, your card details are entered directly with Stripe and processed on their systems. We do not see or store your full card number. We keep a record that a payment was made and which plan you are on, so we can manage your subscription and answer billing questions.
Pinterest comment data. This is the heart of what PNT Picker does. When you run a draw, the tool gathers publicly available comments from the Pinterest pin you point it at, so it can build your list of entries and select a winner. This data is public information already visible on Pinterest. We process it to provide the service you asked for and we do not use it to build profiles or sell it to anyone.
Usage and technical information. Like most websites, we collect some technical information automatically, such as your browser type, device type, general location based on your IP address, and how you move through the site. This helps us keep the service secure, fix problems, and understand which features people actually use.
Messages you send us. If you email us, we keep your message and our reply so we can help you and keep a record of the conversation.
How we use your information
We use the information above to run PNT Picker, process your draws, manage your subscription, take payments, provide support, keep the service secure, and improve how the tool works. We may also use your email address to send you important messages about your account or the service, such as a change to these terms or a notice about your subscription. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are essential and keep you logged in and the site working. Others help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though turning off essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Who we share information with
We share information only with the parties we need to in order to run the service, and only as far as necessary. That includes Stripe for payment processing and the service providers who host our website and infrastructure. These providers are bound to handle your information securely and only for the purposes we set. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users, or the safety of others. Beyond that, we do not share or sell your personal data.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards, so we can meet legal, accounting and reporting obligations. When we no longer need information, we delete it or make it anonymous. If you close your account and would like your data removed, contact us, and we will handle it in line with our obligations.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information. These generally include the right to ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, to ask us to delete your data, to object to certain uses, and to ask us to restrict how we use it. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union, these rights come from the UK GDPR and the GDPR. To exercise any of them, email [email protected], and we will respond within the timeframe the law requires. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Keeping your information safe
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No online service can promise perfect security, but we work to keep our systems sound and to limit who can access your data to the people who need it.
Children
PNT Picker is intended for adults running giveaways and contests. It is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age required to consent in their country. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us, and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our service or the law changes. When we make a significant change, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, let you know. We encourage you to check back now, and then so you know how your information is handled.
Contact us
If you have any questions about this policy or about your information, email us at [email protected]. A real member of the Maetheon Limited team will read your message and reply.
