Please be aware that this notice describes our privacy policy (the “Policy”) and, in visiting the Website, you accept the practices described in this Policy. If you do not accept the terms of this Policy, please do not continue using this Website. The Policy may change from time to time without notice, and any such changes will be posted to the Website.

What Personal Information Does Totempool Gather About You?
The information provided by our users helps us personalize and improve your experience with us. Some types of information gathered include:
Information That You Provide: We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or give us any other way. Such information includes, but is not limited to, your name, address, phone number, email address, and user profile information. This information is used to enhance your experience on our website, respond to your requests, customize your experience, and communicate with you. Some examples of what we may collect include information when you search, post, or otherwise upload content to our Website or transmit it with our service department. You can choose not to provide certain information, but you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain information automatically whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies,” a small text file sent to your browser when you access the Website. You can disable cookies at any time by using your browser options; however, if you turn off cookies, you may not be able to utilize the full functionality of our Website. Also, we will not recognize you as a registered user to allow you access to your account information. We may also use third-party website analytics tools, which collect information about visitor traffic on the Website.
Email Communications: To help us make emails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open an email from the Website if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our user list to lists received from other companies to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our users. If you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, please adjust your Settings.
Information from Other Sources: We may also receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. We may receive and store information from your contacts or other social network sites with your consent. We will not collect any such information without your permission.
Does Totempool Use The Information It Receives?
Information about our users is an essential part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share user information only as described below.
Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. They have access to information needed to perform their functions but are not authorized to use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, our company may change in composition due to selling parts of our company or acquiring new companies. In such transactions, users’ information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that Totempool or substantially all of its assets are acquired, users’ data will, of course, be one of the transferred assets. Still, it remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Policy (unless, of course, the user’s consent otherwise).
Protection of Totempool and Others: We release account and other personal information as governing law requires; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Website, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. However, this does not have selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from the user for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments outlined in this Policy.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
You agree that the information you provide on your profile can be seen by others and used by us as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. We may communicate with you through message, email, and other ways available to us. We may send you messages relating to the availability of our services, security, or other service-related issues. We also may send promotional messages to your Totempool messages. You can change your email settings at any time.
We may use the information and content you provide to us to conduct research, customize your experience, and make it more relevant to you. Any information you post on your profile, and any content you post on Totempool in general, may be seen by others. Other people may find your Totempool profile information through search engines (you can choose the parts of information accessible to public search engines in your settings). We do not provide any of your non-public information (like your phone number) to third parties without your consent unless required by law.
How Does Totempool Protect Your Information?
The information you provide is critical to us. We work to protect the security of this information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) software, which encrypts information you input. This is used to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct usage of information. To protect against unauthorized access to your password and computer, please be sure to sign off when you have finished using a shared computer.
Which Information Can You Access?
You may access a broad range of information on the Website about your account and may also update the information in your user profile and, in most cases, your posted or uploaded content; personally identifiable information (including name, email, password); and email notification settings.
What Choices Do You Have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to utilize the full functionality of the Website. If you do not want to receive emails from us, please feel free to change your privacy in your Settings, or if you have any questions about how your information is used, contact us at [email protected].
