Cookie Policy

We use cookies to help improve your experience of webiste. This cookie policy is part of PostGrid’ privacy policy, and covers the use of cookies between your device and our site. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, who may also use cookies as part of their service, though they are not covered by our policy.

If you don’t wish to accept cookies from us, you should instruct your browser to refuse cookies from website, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognize your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.

Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalize your content (eg. advertising, language).

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.

Types of cookies and how we use them

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core features like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use a website during your visit, without collecting personal information about you.

These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.

DMCA Policy

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy (“Policy”) applies to the postgrid.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”) and outlines how PostGrid Inc. (“PostGrid Inc.”, “we”, “us” or “our”) addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a copyright infringement complaint.

Protection of intellectual property is of utmost importance to us and we ask our users and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.

What to consider before submitting a copyright complaint

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is infringing. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is in fact infringing, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification with us.

We may, at our discretion or as required by law, share a copy of your notification or counter-notification with third parties. This may include sharing the information with the account holder engaged in the allegedly infringing activity or for publication. If you are concerned about your information being forwarded, you may wish to hire an agent to report infringing material for you.

Notifications of infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any material available on our Services infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a written copyright infringement notification (“Notification”) using the contact details below pursuant to the DMCA by providing us with the following information:

• Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notification, you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
• Identification of the infringing material and information you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity), including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL or URLs of the web pages where the allegedly infringing material may be found.
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

All such Notifications must comply with the DMCA requirements. You may refer to a DMCA takedown notice generator or other similar services to avoid making mistake and ensure compliance of your Notification.

Filing a DMCA complaint is the start of a pre-defined legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your complaint has satisfied these requirements, our response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material as well as a permanent termination of repeat infringers’ accounts. We may also require a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction, as determined by us in our sole discretion, before we take any action. A backup of the terminated account’s data may be requested, however it may be subject to certain penalty fees imposed. The final penalty fee will be determined by the severity and frequency of the violations.

If we remove or restrict access to materials or terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with information concerning the removal or restriction of access, which may include a full copy of your Notification (including your name, address, phone, and email address), along with instructions for filing a counter-notification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, PostGrid Inc. reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a DMCA copyright infringement notification if it fails to comply with all the requirements of the DMCA for such notifications.

Counter-notifications

A user who receives a copyright infringement Notification may make a counter-Notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright infringement Notification, it means that the material described in the Notification has been removed from our Services or access to the material has been restricted. Please take the time to read through the Notification, which includes information on the Notification we received as well as instructions on how to file a counter-notifications.

To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication that sets out the information specified in the list below:

• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been restricted and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was restricted.
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or restricted.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person or company who provided the original infringement notification.
• A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Please note that you may be liable for, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a counter-notification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, PostGrid Inc. reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a counter-notification. If we receive a counter-notification that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may forward it to the person who filed the original Notification.

The process described in this Policy does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected infringement.

Changes and amendments

We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms relating to the Website and Services at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of this Policy on the Website. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page.

Handling of Personal Data.

1. Relationship of the Parties: Customer (the controller) appoints PostGrid as a processor to process Personal Data: (a) for the purposes described in the Agreement, or (b) with Customer’s prior written consent (collectively the “Permitted Purpose”). PostGrid is a service provider to the Customer under the CCPA. Each party will comply with the obligations that apply to it under the applicable Data Protection Laws. The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of Personal Data where applicable are specified in the attached Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Cooperation and Data Subjects’ Rights: PostGrid will provide reasonable and timely assistance to Customer (at Customer’s expense) to enable Customer to respond to: (a) any request from a data subject to exercise any of its rights under Data Protection Laws (including its rights of access, correction, objection, erasure and data portability, as applicable); and (b) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject, regulator or other third party in connection with the processing of the  Personal Data. If any such request, correspondence, enquiry, or complaint is made directly to PostGrid, PostGrid will promptly inform Customer providing full details of the same.
3. Personal Data Return and Disposal: Within 30 days after a written request by Customer or the termination or expiration of the Agreement, PostGrid will: (a) securely destroy all Personal Data in PostGrid’s possession in a manner that makes such Personal Data non-readable and non-retrievable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PostGrid may retain copies of Personal Data: (x) to the extent PostGrid has a separate legal right or obligation to retain some or all of the Personal Data; (y) in the capacity of a data controller for PostGrid’s business operations (such as in email records, customer support or accounting records), and (z) in backup systems until the backups have been overwritten or expunged in accordance with PostGrid’s backup policy.
4. International Transfers: To the extent PostGrid processes (or causes to be processed) any Personal Data originating from the EEA in a country that has not been designated by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, the Personal Data shall be deemed to have adequate protection (within the meaning of EU data protection legislation). The parties will enter into the Standard Contractual Clauses whereby Customer will be regarded as the data exporter and PostGrid will be regarded as the data importer.
5. Subprocessing: PostGrid may engage, and Customer hereby consents to PostGrid’s engagement of, PostGrid affiliates and third-party sub-processors to process Personal Data for the Permitted Purpose. A list of sub-processors engaged by PostGrid as of the date of signing this DPA will be provided on Customer’s request,if required to do so under the applicable Data Protection Laws and provided that Customer enter into a separate confidentiality agreement as required by PostGrid, at its sole discretion. PostGrid will impose data protection terms on any sub-processor it appoints as required to protect Personal Data to the standard required by the applicable Data Protection Laws. Customer may object to PostGrid’s appointment or replacement of a sub-processor prior to its appointment or replacement, provided such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such an event, PostGrid will either not appoint or replace the sub-processor or, if this is not possible, Customer may suspend or terminate the Agreement without penalty.
6. Data Protection Impact Assessment: PostGrid will provide reasonable cooperation to Customer (at Customer’s expense) in connection with any data protection impact assessment that Customer may be required to perform under EU Data Protection Law.
7. Compliance with Laws: PostGrid and Customer shall at all times comply with Data Protection Laws with respect to the Personal Data.

PostGrid Security Measures.

1. Security in PostGrid-Managed Deployments: PostGrid shall implement procedural, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect from accidental or unlawful destruction of Personal Data in storage and protect against any loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to Personal Data.
2. Audit: The requirements of GDPR Article 28 and Clauses 5(f) and 12(2) of the Standard Contractual Clauses will be satisfied as follows. On Customer’s request and subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement or an appropriate non-disclosure agreement, Customer may contact PostGrid in accordance with the “Notices” Section of the Agreement to request an audit, not more than once per year, of the procedures relevant to the protection of Personal Data. Before the commencement of any such audit, Customer and PostGrid shall mutually agree upon the scope, timing, and duration of the audit and the reimbursement rate for any travel or other expenses PostGrid incurs in the course of such audit. All reimbursement rates shall be reasonable, taking into account the resources expended by PostGrid. Customer shall promptly notify PostGrid with information regarding any non-compliance discovered during the course of an audit.

Customer Security Measures.

Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, Customer shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for the protection of Personal Data, including without limitation the following:

1. PostGrid Permission to Access Customer Databases: In order to use the Services, Customer must authorize the Services to access Customer’s databases. When granting authorization, Customer must follow the principle of least privilege to Customer database information.

Data Breach Notification and Resolution.

1. Breach Notice: If it becomes aware of a confirmed Breach, PostGrid shall inform Customer via email without undue delay. PostGrid shall further take any such reasonably necessary measures and actions to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Breach and will keep Customer informed of all material developments in connection with the Breach. 
2. Cooperation: PostGrid will provide reasonable information and cooperation to Customer so that Customer can fulfill any data breach reporting obligations it may have under (and in accordance with the timescales required by) applicable law.
