PLCom (referred to as "PLCom" or "Company") has created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate the company's commitment towards the privacy of its users.

Similar to almost all other website operators, including mobile application operators, PLCom does gather user information that's made available by web browsers to provide a smooth user experience. Some of this information may include:
This traffic data is considered to be anonymous information that does not link or identify an individual.
Cookies are basically small text files which are placed on a user's computer by a website that's visited. Cookies use a string of information that leads the user to that website every time they search for it on their browser. The main purpose of cookies is to help identify the user. In that regard, PLCom uses two different kinds of cookies for its service, namely "third-party cookies" and "first-party cookies". Cookies are used in order to provide our users with a smooth service.
As mentioned, PLCom does use first-party cookies. For instance, the Google Analytics Cookie allows us to gather the right visitor information that's relevant to our service, and helps us customize our service accordingly, resulting in a more personalized experience for our users. It also allows us to store a password provided by our users so that they do not have to re-enter their password every time they want to access our service.
Those users who do not want to have any first-party cookies saved on their computer or mobile device should set their browser accordingly. However, it is possible that you will not be able to access certain features if cookies have not been enabled on your browser. If you still refuse to add cookies onto your browser, then you will be solely responsible for any data or functionality that is lost because of your actions.
PLCom reserves the right to place advertisements on any third-party sites that you use after you have accessed our service. Apart from that, PLCom and any third-party marketing partners, including Google, may also use first-party cookies (for example: Google Analytics cookie), and third-party cookies (for example: DoubleClick cookie), along with other web beacons to optimize and serve relevant advertisements to our users based on their user habits while accessing our service. This practice is legal and is commonly known as remarketing.
Google Analytics helps website operators to get a better understanding on how their visitors engage with the various features of their service. Google Analytics may use a set of cookies apart from the Google Analytics cookie to gather information and report crucial statistics on website usage without identifying the user.
PLCom requires your login credentials for some of its websites or services to function.

In this case, the third-party login credentials will be stored until the users disables private content syndication from these third-party social networks and websites. This information will be deleted within a reasonable period of time following the termination of these syndication services.
