This gives customers a fully digital, integrated solution to their direct mail needs. We collect personal information in order to provide direct mail services for our customers.

We care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy. By visiting or using the various websites owned and operated by STANNP under the stannp.com domain (the “Websites”), using the STANNP Direct Mail Platform SaaS and other SaaS portals and products (the “Portals”), or using and/or accessing other applications, software, or services offered from time to time by STANNP in connection with our direct mail services (collectively, the “Services”) in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information in the following ways.

A.    What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of (1) personally identifiable information, as defined by numerous statutes in the United States (such statutes, the “PII Laws”), (2) information protected by the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), including as modified by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”), (3) personal information and private information, as defined by the New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act (the “SHIELD Act”); (4) personal data, as defined by the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and (5) personal information, as defined by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (“PIPEDA”, and collectively with the PII Laws, CCPA, CalOPPA, the SHIELD Act, and GDPR, the “Privacy Laws”) (collectively, “Personal Information”), which we gather as part of providing the Services, as described in more detail below.

This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

B.    What Information Does STANNP Collect?

STANNP does not collect Personal Information indiscriminately. We limit the type of Personal Information and the amount of Personal Information to what is necessary to fulfill the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. With that in mind, we collect the following types of information.

1.    Personal Information Provided to Us

STANNP's customers provide information so that we may provide the Services. This information includes names and contact information (including home address, work address, email address, and phone number).

At times when you interact with the Services, you may provide Personal Information to STANNP. This information may include: your name, contact information (including home address, work address, email address, and phone number), and account credentials (including user name and password). STANPP does not knowingly collect, receive or store any categories of Sensitive Personal Information as the term is defined under the CPRA. Once you make a payment, your credit card information may be collected and processed by our third-party payment processor.

You may communicate with STANNP through email, mail, in person communications, phone, text, chat, or any other paper and electronic form. When you do so, we may collect your name, contact information (including phone number, email address, work and/or home address), the content of any communication, the metadata associated with any communication, and other such Personal Information. Phone calls may be monitored or recorded.

If you apply for employment, STANNP may collect or you may choose to provide the following: name, contact information (including phone number, email address, work and/or home address), date of birth, demographic information (like gender, age, household income, nationality, and race and ethnicity), immigration status and documentation, schooling and education information, disability information, recommendations, employment information and history, information from interviews, user name or e-mail address, any other information you may provide to STANNP, and other such Personal Information.

You can choose not to provide STANNP with Personal Information. However, doing so will affect our ability to communicate with, provide Services to, employ, or otherwise interact with you.

3.    Personal Information Processed Automatically

When accessing or using STANNP's Websites, Portals, and applications, certain information may be passively collected using various technologies, such as IP addresses and cookies.

An IP address is a number assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider to access the Internet. In most consumer cases, an IP address is dynamic (changing each time connect to the Internet), not static (unique to a particular user's computer).

Cookies are small text files that are placed on computers by websites. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Most web browsers allow some control of cookies through browser settings. STANNP may collect the following information via cookies: aggregate statistical information, information related to use of our websites, referring websites, access times, IP address, device type, domain name, software on your device, and browser type. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or mobile device to send “do not track” signals or to prevent or limit your device's acceptance of cookies, but this may change the functionality of the Websites, Portals, or other applications. If you click on a link to a third party website, such third party may also transmit cookies. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third party.

4.    E-mail and Other Communications

STANNP may communicate with you by email and/or SMS. When we do so, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email, which helps us improve the Services. If you do not wish to receive unsolicited marketing email from STANNP, you can indicate that preference by clicking on the unsubscribe link in a STANNP email or by contacting STANNP using the contact information provided below. If you do not wish to receive marketing SMS from STANNP, you can reply STOP to the SMS, or contact STANNP using the contact information provided below.
