Privacy Policy

Grownups has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This document discloses our information gathering and usage practices. For additional information about Grownups, please review our Terms and Conditions.

Use of your information

Grownups does not sell or rent your personal identification to third parties.

We release account and other personal information only when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our terms and conditions; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Grownups Limited, our users, or others.

Email

It is the policy of Grownups to send our members email throughout the listing process and other email they elect to receive, in addition to customary business communications (payment confirmations, etc.). Further, it is our policy to immediately remove any member from any mailing list upon the member's request. In addition, Grownups may send a regular newsletter to members. Newsletters will contain clear and obvious instructions for how the member can remove himself or herself from that mailing list.

We do use email as a means of receiving feedback from our members, and we encourage you to email us with your questions or comments.

Emailing Tools

Grownups provides facilities throughout the site to refer a friend to Grownups or to send references to a specific listing or product to a friend. You may not use the "Email This Link to a Friend" service or other email forwarding services that we offer to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our privacy policy or Terms and Conditions. We do not permanently store, sell, or rent these email messages or the email addresses.
