This Privacy Policy applies to any of the services offered on our web site ( snailcard.com ). In addition, all users are bound to this Privacy Policy. Some of the pages on the SnailCard Web Site may contain links leading to other web sites. These sites are governed by their own Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use.

Any Privacy Policy changes due to customer suggestions, service additions, or any other reason will be posted here, and a notice will be made to you by E-mail. If you do not keep your E-mail address current, then you will NOT be able to receive these notices, so it is important that you keep your current E-mail address updated in our system.

Your Information The information we collect on you is for your protection and our protection against fraud. This information will NEVER be sold, shared, or rented to any third party companies. We require that you provide a valid E-mail address, in order to send you updates on our Privacy Policy. We may also send you other information about our service, or reminders from time to time. We will NEVER send third party advertisements. Your E-mail address must be confirmed before your account is activated. In order to confirm your E-mail address, you must click on the link sent to you after you sign up for an account. Your first, and last name are required along with your full address for future services where users will be able to select if they would like to be listed in the SnailCard directory in order to easily send SnailCards to people even if you don't know their full address. This will be an opt in service, but you information is still needed. This information may also be used by SnailCard to verify the you the user. A password and username are also required to protect your account. (Please see our Account Security section for further information.)     C. Account Security Your information will not be used by any service other than SnailCard. Your account is protected by an encrypted password. Our encryption is one way, which means that the password can be encrypted, but never decrypted. When you log into your account, we encrypt your password, and compare it against your encrypted password in our database. If you loose your password, a new one will be sent to your verified E-mail address. It is VERY important that you keep your current E-mail address updated in our system. When you are sent a new password, the password sent is randomly generated. It is recommended that you then log into your account with your new password, and change it to something you will remember. Because of the one way encryption, the staff here at SnailCard can not even access your password. DO NOT give your username and password to ANYONE. Giving this information to someone else will allow them access to your account, and allow them to change and modify your information. This will also allow them to use your account credits. If you suspect that someone may have your account access information, change your password immediately to protect yourself, and your account. At no time does SnailCard ever have your credit card information. All payments are handled through PayPal. We do NOT hold any warranty, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or Protection on your PayPal account. You should read PayPal's Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy for more information. You can find PayPal's information at www.paypal.com     D. Modifying Your Information You are required to keep your account information up to date.
