Privacy policy
Postbox Placements is run by [Company name and registered address], the controller of the personal data described here.
What we store
- Your account: email address, name, password (stored only as a hash), the PayPal email you get paid to, who referred you, when you confirmed your email, and the company name, address and VAT number you add for invoices.
- Orders: the website, your target link and anchor text, the article and notes you send, prices and commission, the PayPal order and payment references, the live post address, our checks of the link, and the dates of each step.
- Websites you list: the address, description, prices, metrics and rules you enter, and proof of ownership.
- Messages on orders, and the websites you save.
- Security: your IP address with the time of sign-in, sign-up and password reset attempts, used to stop abuse.
Payments
Payments are handled by PayPal, which acts as our payment processor and also processes data under its own privacy policy. We never see your card or bank details. We send PayPal the order amount and description, and for payouts the seller’s PayPal email.
Emails
We email you about your account and orders: confirming your email, password resets, order updates, payouts and refunds. We don’t send marketing emails.
Cookies
A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days, and a cookie remembers your cookie choice. Both are strictly necessary. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them, and you can change your choice with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.
How long we keep it
Sign-ins last 30 days. Email confirmation links expire after 2 days and password reset links after an hour. Security records of attempts are deleted after 24 hours. Account and order records are kept while your account is open, and order and payment records for as long as UK tax and accounting rules require.
Why we use it
To run your account and orders (contract), to keep payment records (legal obligation), and to prevent fraud and abuse (legitimate interests).
Your rights
You can download a copy of your data and delete your account yourself in your account page. Deleting it removes your websites, saved sites and sign-ins and replaces your name and email; order and payment records we must keep stay, with your billing details for invoices. You can also ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it (except records we must keep), to restrict or object to its use, or to move it. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
