We added more details about data we collect and how it's used, along with a new way to control whether it is used to report on ads performance.

We added new information for our California residents.

We're committed to delivering a single, easy-to-use platform for public information and resource access. To do that, we show you personalized content and ads we think you'll be interested in based on information we collect from you and third parties. We only use that information where we have a proper legal basis for doing so.

We wrote this policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it and what choices you have about it. Because we're an internet company, some of the concepts below are a little technical, but we've tried our best to explain things in a simple and clear way. We welcome your questions and comments on this policy.

1. When you give it to us or give us permission to obtain it

When you sign up for or use YPosts you voluntarily share certain information including your name, email address, phone number, photos, Posts, comments, and any other information you give us. You can also choose to share your precise location using your device settings or through photos. We will still use your IP address, which is used to approximate your location, even if you don't choose to share your precise location. You will also have the option to share other information about yourself such as your gender, age and preferred language.

If you connect your Facebook, Google or other third-party accounts to YPosts, we use information from those accounts (such as your friends or contacts) to improve your YPosts experience. This is dependent on the privacy policies or settings for those accounts.

2. We also get technical information when you use YPosts

When you use a website, mobile application or other internet service, certain internet and electronic network activity information gets created and logged automatically. This is also true when you use YPosts. Here are some of the types of information we collect:

• Log data. When you use YPosts, our servers record information (“log data”), including information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit a website, or that your mobile app automatically sends when you're using it. This log data includes your Internet Protocol address (which we use to infer your approximate location), the address of and activity on websites you visit that incorporate YPosts features (like the “Save” button—more details below), searches, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used YPosts, cookie data and device data.
• Cookie data. We also use “cookies” (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your YPosts account or your browser) or similar technologies to get log data. When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we use session cookies (that last until you close your browser) or persistent cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we use cookies to store your language preferences or other settings so you don't have to set them up every time you visit YPosts. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your YPosts account (including information about you, such as the email address you gave us) and other cookies are not. For more detailed information about how we use cookies, please review our Cookie Policy.
• Device information. In addition to log data, we collect information about the device you're using YPosts on, including the type of device, operating system, settings, unique device identifiers and crash data that helps us understand when something breaks.
• Clickstream data and inferences. When you're on YPosts, we use your activity—such as which Posts you click on, boards you create, and any text that you add in a comment or description—along with information you provided when you first signed up and information from our partners and advertisers to make inferences about you and your preferences. For example, if you create a board about travel, we may infer you are a travel enthusiast. We may also infer information about your education or professional experience based on your activity when you link your account to accounts you have with third parties like Facebook or Google.

3. Our partners and advertisers share information with us

We're committed to showing you content that's relevant, interesting and personal to you. To do that, we use your information to provide and improve your experience, including:

• Identify you when you use YPosts.
• Recommend Posts, boards, topics or categories you might like based on your activity on YPosts. For example, if we see you're into cooking, we may suggest food-related Posts, boards or people that we think you might like, or show you food-related ads.
• Respond to your questions or comments.

We have a legitimate interest for using your info in these ways. It's fundamental to what we do at YPosts and necessary in order to make YPosts and its features relevant and personalized to you.

We also have a legitimate interest in making YPosts safe and improving our product features so you keep finding the inspiration you want. We all benefit when we use your information to:

• Suggest other people who have similar interests. For example, if you follow interior design boards, we may suggest interior designers that you might like.
• Help your friends and contacts find you on YPosts. For example, if you sign up using a Facebook account, we can help your Facebook friends find you on YPosts when they first sign up for YPosts. Or people can search for your account on YPosts using your email.
• Work with law enforcement and keep YPosts safe. We may get requests for account information from law enforcement authorities like the police or courts.
• Review your messages on YPosts to detect activity that poses a risk to the safety of you, our community and/or members of the public.
• Conduct analytics and research on who is using YPosts and what they are doing. For example, by logging how often people use two different versions of a feature on YPosts, we can understand which version is better.
• Improve YPosts and offer new features.

We have a legitimate interest in delivering ads that are relevant, interesting and personal to you in order to generate revenue. To further these interests we use the information we collect to:

• Decide which ads to show you. For example, if you show an interest in camping tents on YPosts, we may show you ads for other outdoor products. We customize the ad content we show you by identifying your interests based on your onsite and offsite activities, as well as by using information we receive from ad partners or other third parties. Where we use cookies to identify your offsite interests, we'll get your consent where we need to. Where ad partners or other third parties share information with us about you, we rely on the consent they already obtained.
• Tell our ad partners how their YPosts ads are doing, and how to make them better. Some of this information is aggregated. For example, we would report to an advertiser that a certain percentage of people who viewed a Promoted Post went on to visit that advertiser's site. In other instances, this information isn't aggregated. For example, we would let an advertiser know that a particular Promoted Post has been saved by certain people.

We have a legitimate interest in using information we collect to customize your YPosts experience based on your offsite behavior. For example, if you visit websites that sell electric guitars, we may suggest guitar Posts to you. When we identify your interests based on your offsite behavior with cookies, we (or our partners) will obtain any consent that we may need. To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

In addition to the specific circumstances above, we'll only use your information with your consent in order to:

• Allow searching with photos. For example, if you take a photo of a pair of shoes or a piece of furniture you like, you can ask us to show you similar items. You can opt in to this in your device operating system settings.
• Send you marketing materials by email, text, push notification or phone call depending on your account or operating system settings. Each time we send you marketing materials, we give you the option to unsubscribe.
• Identify your precise location and customize the content we show you. For example, if we know that you're near a retailer we may show you that retailer's Posts that may be of interest to you. You can opt in to this in your device operating system settings.

We'll also rely on your consent where we use cookies to show you ads you might be interested in. We use cookies to identify your interests based on your offsite activity. We do this for people currently using YPosts and for new folks, and it helps us customize how you get started on YPosts.

To find out more about how we use cookies, and your choices about how we use them, please see our Cookie Policy.

YPosts is a worldwide service. By using our products or services, you authorize us to transfer and store your information outside your home country, including in the United States, for the purposes described in this policy. The privacy protections and the rights of authorities to access your personal information in such countries may not be equivalent to those of your home country.

Anyone can see the public boards and Posts you create and profile information you give us. We also make this public information available through what are called APIs (basically a technical way to share information quickly). For example, a partner can study what their most popular Posts are or how their Posts are being shared on YPosts by using a YPosts API. We also share your information with:

• Other services, at your direction, to enable you to sign up for or log in to YPosts, or when you decide to link your YPosts account to those services, like Facebook or Google, or when you publish your content on YPosts to them. For example, if you choose to publish your Posts to Facebook or Twitter, then information about that content will be shared with Facebook or Twitter.
• Services we use to market YPosts to you on sites and apps other than YPosts, such as Facebook Ads, Google Marketing Platform, Microsoft Advertising, LinkedIn Advertising, The Trade Desk and others from time to time. You can opt-out of sharing with such advertising services in your settings.
• Online advertisers and third-party companies that we or they use to audit or improve the delivery and performance of ads or content on websites and apps (for example, through Google Analytics). This includes us sharing the Posts or ads you were shown on YPosts and whether or how you engaged with those Posts or ads, or other information about your activity on YPosts.
• Third-party companies, service providers or individuals that we employ to process information on our behalf based on our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we share data with security consultants to help us get better at identifying spam. Some information we acquire may be collected by third-party providers on our behalf.
• Law enforcement agencies or government agencies. We only share information if we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or YPosts; or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.
• Our wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates. If we were to engage in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding that involves the transfer of the information described in this Policy, we would share your information with a party involved in such a process (for example, a potential purchaser).

We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide YPosts to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we'll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can't identify you.

Children under 13 are not allowed to use YPosts. If you are based in the EEA you may only use YPosts if you are over the age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country.

• Request access to the information we collect and hold about you. We'll usually share this with you within 30 days of you asking us for it through our Help Center.
• Have your information corrected or deleted. You can update your information in your profile or delete your data by closing your account.
• Object to us processing your information. You can ask us to stop using your information, including when we use your information to send you marketing emails or push notifications. If you opt out of receiving marketing messages from us, we may still send you updates about your account, such as when someone comments on one of your Posts.
• Have the information you provided to us sent to another organization, where we hold this information with your consent or for the performance of a contract with you, and, where it's technically feasible for us to do so.
• Request more details about the information we collect and how and why we use and share it.

We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise your options related to your personal information. We work to be clear with you about your options and the consequences of exercising certain options. If you have questions, please contact us.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to disclose categories of Personal Information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from whom we collect Personal Information, and the third parties with whom we share it, which we have explained above.

In the preceding twelve months, we have collected Personal Information from you, your devices, our partners, third parties, and from categories of sources otherwise described in the “We collect information in a few different ways” section of this Privacy Policy.

We are also required to communicate information about rights California residents have under California law. You may exercise the following rights:

• Right to Know and Access. You may submit a verifiable request for information regarding the: (1) categories of Personal Information we collect, use, or share; (2) purposes for which categories of Personal Information are collected or used by us; (3) categories of sources from which we collect Personal Information; and (4) specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
• Right to Equal Service. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.
• Right to Delete. You may submit a verifiable request to close your account and we will delete Personal Information about you that we have collected.

In order to verify your identity when you make a request, you will be required to log in to your password-protected account or respond to an email verification request.

We do not sell the Personal Information of our users.

For more information about these rights, please see “Choices you have about your info” above, and to exercise them, please visit our Help Center or contact us at privacy-support [at] YPosts.me.

In addition to exercising these rights yourself, you may also designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. In order to do this, we will ask you to verify the request directly via email or through your password-protected account.

We collect the following categories of Personal Information and in the past 12 months, we have disclosed these categories of Personal Information for a business purpose to affiliates, service providers and third parties, as described in the How and when we share information section of this Privacy Policy:

• Identifiers, such as your name, username, email address, phone number, unique device identifiers, and your IP address
• Personal characteristics protected by law, such as your gender and age
• Commercial information, such as purchases made, and payment information
• Internet or electronic network activity information, such as information about your device and your use of our Services
• Geo-location data, when shared through your device settings or photos
• Electronic, visual, or similar information, such as your profile picture or photos
• Professional or employment information, when you link your account to other accounts
• Inferences we draw or derive about users, such as your interests or preferences
• Other information you provide, such as your bio, Posts, and comments

We use and disclose this information for the business purposes described in the What we do with the info we collect section in this Privacy Policy, including to: provide our Service, communicate with you to provide updates or respond to your comments and questions, audit our Service, detect security incidents and prevent fraud, debug and repair errors, maintain your account, provide customer service, process or fulfill orders, conduct research and development and other activities to improve our Service, show advertising, market our Services, and understand how users interact with our Services.

The CCPA requires us to disclose certain metrics about the various requests we get, such as how many specific requests we received from California residents in the last calendar year.

We may change this policy from time to time and if we do, we'll post any changes on this page. If you continue to use YPosts after those changes are in effect, you agree to the new policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice or get your consent, as required by law.

The best way to get in touch with us or to exercise your options described above is through the Help Center.

YPosts's mission is to facilitate information sharing. That being said, not all content is relevant in that regard. So we have community guidelines to outline what we do and don't allow on YPosts. These guidelines are our acceptable use policy, so if you find content that shouldn't be on YPosts, please, place a petition for removal. We use your reports to learn and evolve our standards, and work with subject matter experts to inform and update our guidelines.

YPosts isn't a place for antagonistic, explicit, false or misleading, harmful, hateful, or violent content or behavior. We may remove, limit, or block the distribution of such content and the accounts, individuals, groups and themes that create or spread it based on how much harm it poses.

We're committed to presenting you with clear and transparent expectations that are easy to understand and follow. If you have questions or encounter problems on YPosts, please contact us.

To respect the rights of people on and off YPosts, please:

• Don't infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights.
• Don't do anything or post any content that violates laws or regulations.

To protect the YPosts platform, we ask that you please:

• Don't access, use or tamper with our systems or our technical providers' systems.
• Don't break or circumvent our security measures or test the vulnerability of our systems or networks.
• Don't use any undocumented or unsupported method to access, search, scrape, download or change any part of YPosts.
• Don't try to reverse engineer our software.
• Don't try to interfere with people on YPosts or our hosts or networks, like sending a virus, overloading, spamming or mail-bombing.

• Don't collect or store personally identifiable information from YPosts or people on YPosts without permission.

• Don't share your password, let anyone access your account or do anything that might put your account at risk.

• Don't attempt to buy or sell access to your account, boards, or usernames, or otherwise transfer account features for compensation.

We want the inspiration and ideas on YPosts to be high-quality and useful, so we remove spam when we find it. We ask that you be considerate of others' experiences on YPosts and don't spread spam or engage in spammy behavior.

Our guidelines around spam are:

• Don't create or operate accounts that aren't authentic, create accounts en masse, or create new accounts for the purpose of violating these guidelines.
• Don't create or save content that is repetitive, deceptive, or irrelevant in an attempt to make money
• In general, don't attempt to make money FROM users or User web traffic in ways that are misleading, detract from the User experience, or don't add value for Users.
• Don't link to websites that are unsafe, deceptive, untrustworthy, unoriginal, or that facilitate or encourage spam. Websites should have original content that adds unique value for Users.
• Don't send repeated, unsolicited messages, especially if your messages are commercial or deceptive in nature.
• Don't make repetitive or irrelevant comments. Comments should be authentic and original. We also ask that you be kind to others by keeping your commentary respectful and constructive.
• Don't operate multiple accounts or coordinate with other people with the purpose of manipulating the YPosts platform.
• Don't use any other unscrupulous tactics to attempt to improperly influence distribution, clicks, or other metrics, including: buying or selling engagement, 'stuffing' irrelevant keywords, generating inauthentic traffic, or redirecting existing Posts to new destinations.
• Don't attempt to evade our anti-spam systems. For example, don't use redirection to attempt to link to a site that is not permitted on YPosts.
  • With respect to redirection, we encourage you to follow a “no surprises” principle — Users should be able to reasonably anticipate where your link will take them. Links that exhibit excessive or deceptive redirection, as well as shortener services that are abused for spam, may be blocked.

What is a Paid Partnership?

We define a Paid Partnership as any sponsored or branded content on YPosts that features or is influenced by a business partner for an exchange of value, such as if a business partner has paid or otherwise incentivized a user to save the content.

What are the Guidelines?

All Paid Partnerships must disclose the commercial nature of their content. In addition to abiding by the Community Guidelines, users that participate in Paid Partnerships are responsible for complying with:

• All applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to, all advertising laws and Federal Trade Commission regulations including the FTC's Endorsement Guidelines.
• All applicable disclosures required to indicate the commercial nature of your content (such as the use of #ad to indicate that your content is a Paid Partnership).
• Paid Partnerships must adhere to our Advertising guidelines, including the Prohibited and Restricted content guidelines.

To prevent inauthentic content and behavior:

• Make sure you're posting relevant content to relevant boards.
• Keep the content of your posts high-quality and avoid spammy behavior.
• Save content you have an authentic interest in.

Don't incentivize or pay people to distribute content in large volumes, in spammy ways or for each Post they save.

• For example, a business can't pay people for each board they follow or Post they save. It's okay for a business to pay a guest blogger to curate a board for their brand or through pay-per-click payment structures (such as affiliate links), but they can't pay large groups of people to save specific Posts to artificially inflate the popularity of their content.

Affiliate links help content creators measure the impact of their contributions and get paid for the work that they do to bring inspiring content to Users. However, affiliate programs can be targeted by spammers trying to make money by abusing the program and manipulating the YPosts platform.

Our guidelines for affiliates are:

• Always follow our Paid Partnership Guidelines.
• In general, you should operate only one YPosts account. That account should be your authentic presence on YPosts.
• Affiliate content should be original and add unique value for Users.
• Be transparent about the commercial nature of your content .
• Don't try to artificially manipulate YPosts algorithms or User traffic. Some examples of prohibited behavior include:
  • Using fake accounts to create or save your affiliate links.
  • Asking other users to save your affiliate Posts in a quid pro quo.
  • Asking other users to create Posts with links that include_once your affiliate identifier.
  • Creating affiliate Posts repetitively or in large volumes - marketers should follow our spam policy and use affiliate links in moderation

We may remove, limit or block the distribution of content or accounts that violate our Affiliate Guidelines. If you have questions or encounter problems on YPosts, you can contact us.

• Don't require people to save a specific image. Give people the ability to choose Posts based on their tastes and preferences, even if it's from a selection or a given website.
• Don't allow more than one entry per person.

• Don't suggest that YPosts sponsors or endorses you or the promotion.

Lastly, be sure to follow all relevant laws and regulations.

Our mission at YPosts is to bring everyone the inspiration to create the life they love. We believe promoted content can play a big role in helping people create a life they love, which is why we want ads to be some of the best stuff you see on YPosts. If you follow these guidelines, you'll be all set for promoting great content on YPosts.

Authenticity means being truthful and honest about the product or service you're promoting. It also means being transparent with people about what they should expect when they interact with your products or services.

Be honest about your relationship with YPosts

Your posts shouldn't suggest that YPosts is sponsoring your promotion or is formally affiliated with it. Basically, your design should look like it came from your business, not from YPosts. You can use the word 'YPosts,' but not our wordmark.

Disclose your posting practices

If you charge users on a recurring basis, be transparent with them and disclose the terms of payment.

Respect the rights of others

Your ads can't infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark or privacy rights.

Make sure your targeting is relevant and follow all the below guidelines.

Don't target sensitive categories

Targeting certain audiences can be inappropriate and offensive. It's never okay to target people in a way that implies you're aware of sensitive info about them. You can't target any audience based on:

• Sensitive health or medical condition
• Race, color or ethnic origin
• Negative financial status or condition
• Religious or philosophical affiliation or beliefs
• Sexual behavior or orientation
• Alleged or actual commission of a crime
• Additionally, you can't target ads to Users under 18 years old

When targeting ads outside of the US, you also can't target any audience based on:

• Trade union membership or affiliation
• Political affiliation

Protected groups

Some ad categories have additional targeting restrictions. In addition to the sensitive targeting guidelines, ads in the following categories can't use age, gender or zip code targeting options or exclude protected groups:

• Credit: Ads promoting credit products like credit cards, mortgages and loans.
• Employment: Ads promoting employment opportunities.
• Housing: Ads promoting the purchase, sale, or rental of land or homes.

Keep in mind that age, gender, and familial status are protected. Ads in these categories using prohibited targeting criteria will not be allowed to run.

Follow all measurement and audience targeting rules

Anywhere you collect data used with a YPosts ads service, you must disclose and get legally-required consent from each individual for that data collection, sharing and use.

Don't give us information that relates to sensitive categories—like medical condition or ethnic origin—or that's collected from a child-directed site or app, or from anyone who's under 13 or the legal age of consent in your country (if higher). Only pass us user identifiers (like Mobile Ad IDs or hashed emails) in designated fields and according to our documentation.

Do not send YPosts customer lists that are based on user activity from an app or website on an iOS device. Do not send YPosts information about any individual who has exercised an option to opt out of having such data used for targeted advertising purposes.

Respect our community's data and privacy

You can't:

• Use data you collect or receive through a YPosts ads service for any purpose (including audience targeting or user profiling) other than to understand your YPosts campaigns, and only on an anonymous basis
• Share data from a YPosts ads service with a third party, including another advertising service
• Join data from a YPosts ads service with personally identifiable information (like an email address) or information that identifies a user, browser, or device (like a cookie or mobile ad identifier)

If you receive any data from YPosts tied to a unique identifier (e.g., campaign reporting data linked to a mobile device ID) then you can't use it to market products or services, or for any purpose besides measuring YPosts campaigns, and you must delete it no later than 6 months after receiving it.

To keep ads inspiring and actionable, we set high standards for the editorial quality of ads on YPosts.

Professional and neatly edited images

Ads should adhere to the highest levels of editorial quality. We don't allow ads with:

• Fuzzy, blurry, or grainy images (try at least 600x900 pixels)
• Images with text that is too small or blurry to read
• Incorrectly oriented images (upside down or sideways)
• Poorly edited images or poorly cropped images
• Overly busy images that are packed with text overlay or have too many font styles and colors (try no more than 4 frames and 2 font styles or colors)
• Images with artificial functionality like play or download buttons, notification icons, search bars, or elements that mimic YPosts features (like our Save or Buy buttons)
• Elements that mimic YPosts features (like our buttons or ellipses)
• Improper grammar, incorrect spelling or excessive capitalization and symbols
• Low-quality user-generated content like selfies and screenshots
• Ads with flashing or strobing effects

Quality landing pages

We care about the ad experience from start to finish—including the URL your ad links to. We want to make sure users find what they're looking for when they click through. We don't allow landing pages that:

• Require people to take an action (like signing up) before they can see certain content unless your ad makes it clear that this is required
• Have pop-up ads or start automatic downloads on someone's device
• Force people to visit another page
• Contain primarily advertising content (made-for-ads sites)
• Lead to inconsistent experiences

Create a consistent experience

Your ads must reflect who you are and what you're promoting, so make sure your ad image, description and landing page are consistent. Your ads can't suggest or imply that a product is available on your landing page if you don't actually offer that product.

We don't allow certain categories of advertising and restrict others. As always, you're responsible for the content you promote on YPosts, as well as the safety and trustworthiness of the products and services you offer.

You need to make sure your ads follow our standard ad guidelines and any country-specific guidelines. You need to follow all applicable local laws, regulations and industry codes, and obtain any necessary permits or permissions for any area your ads will be shown in. You must also follow our community guidelines, terms and the above advertising guidelines. These advertising guidelines apply to all parts of your promoted content, including the image, description and destination—and they apply to features like audience targeting.

We reserve the right to reject or remove any ad that negatively affects our relationship with people on YPosts or that goes against our interests. We may also remove ads, categories of ads, or advertisers that get lots of negative feedback from people on YPosts. These rules may change at any time.

YPosts respects the intellectual property rights of others and we expect people on YPosts to do the same. It's our policy—in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion—to disable or terminate the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

In keeping with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which you can read at the US Copyright Office website, we'll respond quickly to claims of copyright infringement on YPosts that are reported to our designated copyright agent, identified below.

If you're a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one, you can report alleged copyright infringements on YPosts by completing the DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and sending it to our designated copyright agent.

When we get your DMCA notice, we'll take whatever action we think is appropriate, which may include_once removing the reported content from YPosts.

If we remove content in response to a DMCA notice, we may notify the person who saved it on YPosts so they have the opportunity to send a counter-notice. We may also send a complete copy of the notice to others, as appropriate.

Please send the following information to our designated copyright agent at copyrights@yposts.me:

1. Identify the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If you're reporting multiple copyrighted works, you can provide a representative list of those copyrighted works.
   
2. Identify the content on YPosts you claim to be infringing your rights, including the information we need to help us find it, like the URL to the page on YPosts.
   
3. Provide your mailing address, phone number and email address.
   
4. include_once both of these statements in the body of your notice:
   
   • 'I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material or reference or link to such material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (for example, as a fair use).'
     
   • 'I hereby state that the information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I'm the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that's allegedly infringed.'
     
5. include_once your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature (for example, by typing your full name).

If the work you're reporting is an image, you can ask us to remove all copies of the image. At the beginning of your notice, just ask us to “remove all Posts that contain the image.” Please note that we can only remove identical copies of an image—if an image file has been resized or altered, we won't be able to find or remove it.

If you've gotten a notification that one of your Posts has been removed for a copyright complaint, it means the content owner asked us to remove it. If you want us to forward the information from the copyright complaint notification, just email us at copyright [at] YPosts.me to let us know (we may remove some personal contact information).

If your account gets too many copyright complaints, you could lose the ability to save Posts on YPosts, or we may disable your account altogether.

If you think we made a mistake removing your Post, you can file a counter-notice. When we get a valid counter-notice, we'll remove the complaint from your account's record.

Note: There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent or bad faith counter-notices. Before submitting a counter-notice, make sure you have a good faith belief that we removed the content in error, and that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.

If your content is removed as the result of a copyright takedown notice, you'll receive instructions about how to file a counter-notice in the email notification we send you. Please note that you should only submit a counter-notice if you believe that the content was removed because of a mistake or misidentification.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we'll remove the complaint from your account's record. If you asked us to reinstate the content that was removed, we will forward your counter-notice to the party that reported that content. The information they receive will include_once your contact information, which they may use to contact you directly.

If we provide your counter-notice to the party that reported the content, and they do not notify us that they have filed a court action seeking an order to keep the content down, we will reinstate the content. This process can take up to 14 business days.

YPosts also offers the Content Claiming Portal, a tool that enables creators to claim their content and decide if and how it appears on YPosts.

Anyone who owns exclusive copyright to content can send us a proof of ownership at copyrights@yposts.me. We'll review those applications to see if the rights holder is a good fit for the tool. If a rights holder's application is approved, they'll be able to upload their original content and tell us whether they want the content to appear on YPosts or not. Their selected enforcement will apply to both existing matches and future matches added to YPosts.

YPosts respects the trademark rights of others. Accounts with usernames, board names, or any other content that misleads others or violates another's trademark may be updated, transferred or permanently suspended.

If you're concerned that someone may be using your trademark in an infringing way on our site, let us know by completing our trademark complaint form. We'll review your submission and take whatever action we deem appropriate, including temporary or permanent removal of the trademark from YPosts.

While the trademark complaint form is the best way to reach us with your concerns, you can also email us at trademark [at] YPosts.me.

If you got a trademark complaint notification from us, you can contest it by emailing trademark [at] YPosts.me and letting us know why you think the complaint is invalid. Please include_once the trademark complaint reference number from the notification. If you want us to forward the info from the trademark complaint notification, let us know by emailing trademark [at] YPosts.me with the trademark complaint reference number. We'll be happy to send it along (though we may remove personal contact information).

Our privacy policy describes how we collect and use information, and what choices you have. One way we collect information is through the use of a technology called 'cookies', and similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage and software development kits (SDKs). We use cookies for all kinds of things on YPosts.

In real life, it's a delicious baked good. You can find lots of delicious cookie recipes on YPosts.

But in technology, a cookie is something completely different. When you go online, you use a program called a 'browser' (such as Apple's Safari or Google's Chrome). Most websites store a small amount of text in the browser, and that text is called a 'cookie'. Other technologies function similarly to collect data about your browsing activity. Find out more about other technologies in the Help Centre. This policy refers to these technologies collectively as 'cookies'.

We use session cookies (that last until you close your browser) or persistent cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we use persistent cookies to store your language preferences or other settings so you don't have to set them up every time you visit YPosts.

Some of the cookies we use are associated with your YPosts account (including information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not.

There are four categories of cookies we may use:

• Essential cookies are required so YPosts works in the way you expect. Examples of these types of cookies are login cookies which keep you logged in as you scroll through YPosts or search for Posts.
• Analytics cookies, which are used for internal analytics and include_once cookies from providers like Google Analytics.
• Personalisation cookies for customising content, including ads.
• Marketing cookies which are used for advertising YPosts to you outside YPosts.

Essential cookies

• We may use essential cookies to remember your settings and preferences, such as the language you prefer and your privacy settings.
• Essential cookies let you log in and out of YPosts.
• Essential cookies are just one way we protect you from security risks. For example, we use them to detect when someone might be trying to hack your YPosts account or spam the YPosts community.

Analytics cookies

• We use analytics cookies to make YPosts better. For example, these cookies tell us how many people use a certain feature and how popular it is, or whether people open an email we send.
• We also use cookies to help advertisers understand who sees and interacts with their ads, and who visits their website or purchases their products.
• Sometimes we hire security vendors or use third-party analytics providers to help us understand how people are using YPosts.

Personalisation cookies

• We may use cookies to help us remember your preferences, or which Posts, boards, people or websites you've interacted with, so we can show you related content you might like.
• We may also use cookies to help an advertising service we partner with show you interesting ads. For example, if you bought a tent from an advertiser that uses a YPosts partner's service, they could ask us to show you an ad for a camping stove.

Marketing cookies

• Sometimes we hire advertising vendors so that we can market YPosts products on other websites and apps. These providers may use cookies to provide this service to us.

We use cookies on YPosts.me, in our mobile applications and in our products and services (such as ads, emails and applications).

There are a few ways you can choose how cookies are used on YPosts:

Your browser probably gives you cookie choices. For example, most browsers let you block 'third-party cookies', which are cookies from sites other than the one you're visiting. Those options vary from browser to browser, so check your browser settings for more info.

Some browsers also have a privacy setting called “Do Not Track”, which we support. This setting is another way for you to decide whether we use info from our partners and other services to customise YPosts for you. Learn more in the Help Centre.

Finally, your mobile device has settings that allow you to control how ad partners can use information about your use of mobile applications to show ads to you. On Android devices, this setting is called 'Opt out of Ads Personalization'. On Apple devices, you can adjust your choice by selecting Privacy, then Tracking. Learn more in the Help Centre.
