Welcome to The Million Pound Piggy Bank! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
2. Collection of Your Information
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:
- Personal Data: If you choose to leave a message with your donation and consent to its public display, that message and your consent status (messagePubliclyVisible, isMessageApproved) are stored. We do not directly collect personally identifiable information like your name or email address unless you voluntarily include it in a message.
- Donation Data: We store the amount and timestamp of donations. Payment processing is handled by PayPal, and we do not store your financial information.
- Derivative Data: Information our servers automatically collect when you access the Site, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site. (This is standard web server logging).
3. Use of Your Information
Having accurate information about you permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Site to:
- Operate and manage the donation platform.
- Display your anonymized donation (coin size) and any associated message (if you have consented to its public display and it has been approved for display).
- Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Site.
- Compile anonymous statistical data and analysis for use internally or with third parties.
Your messages are displayed publicly only if you provide explicit consent and they pass our moderation process. Your name is not displayed unless you choose to include it in the message itself.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We will not share your personal information with any third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent. Messages you provide with donations may be displayed publicly on our Site if you explicitly consent to this during the donation process and the message is approved through our moderation process.
5. Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
