Upingme is not in the business of selling or renting telephone numbers. Our business is connecting people and moving messages between them. We guard the privacy of our users in the same way that we guard our own; we built Upingme as a service that we would use ourselves, and we use it with our own phones. Your privacy is our privacy, and we will not do anything with your phone number that we would not like to happen to our own phone numbers.
Information We Collect and Store
We use Google Analytics to analyze our web server statistics. When you visit the Upingme website, a record is made of your IP address at Google. We use cookies and we use them in a non evil way.
When you send a message to Upingme, we store your telephone number and the text message you sent to us.
Message Privacy
Upingme does not disclose your telephone number when you post a message. Upingme discloses the telephone number under a single circumstance; when the reply to a message is sent to the owner of a message, this is done so that the message owner can contact the replier.
Messages we send
Upingme sends out messages that you request, either by subscribing to alerts or by posting messages that you wish to receive replies to. We do not send out any other kind of message. When you stop all your Upingme alerts and delete all your Upingme messages no more messages will be sent from Upingme to you, even though your number is still stored on the Upingme system.
API
The Upingme API allows free access to Upingme messages and Upingme magic numbers. API users do not have access to the telephone numbers of Upingme users, and the telephone numbers of Upingme users cannot be looked up in reverse from the Magic Numbers.
Third parties
Upingme does not and will not rent, sell, or divulge the telephone numbers of its users to third parties in curcumstances that are not related to the service. We will only divulge the numbers of single users upon presentation of a properly executed court order served in the jurisdiction of our servers issued by a court in the jurisdiction of our servers. Upingme is not responsible for the actions of the message carriers that are used to deliver messages to its servers.
Data usage
We use the data on our servers (telephone numbers and messages) to perform the Upingme services. We use this data to tune the system performance and to maintain our equipment.
Security
We make every endeavor to secure our servers and equipment. We cannot offer a 100% guarantee of complete security of our servers or the physical security of third party equipment that Upingme may be hosted on.
This policy document is subject to change without notice, though we will post any changes on the Upingme news weblog.
