Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement") derives from the PostAPrisoner.com Principles, and governs our relationship with users and others who interact with PostAPrisoner.com. By using or accessing PostAPrisoner.com, you agree to this Statement.

1. Privacy
   
   Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use PostAPrisoner.com to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information.  We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.
   
   
   
2. Refund Policy
   
   No monies will be refunded for any reason or transferred to another inmate's account.
   
   
   
3. PostAPrisoner.com Does Not Guarantee Responses To A Profile
   
   PostAPrisoner.com merely provides the platform for your profile to be seen. The choice to write to an inmate is entirely up to the individual site visitor who views a profile page. As PostAPrisoner.com cannot control the free will of others, we cannot guarantee your profile will receive responses.
   
   
   
4. Inmate (Prisoner) Profile Information
   
   We have not investigated, and accept no responsibility for, the truth or accuracy of any statement made by the inmates who have posted profiles on our site. We strongly recommend that you take appropriate safeguards when corresponding with the inmates you meet through our site. In most cases incarceration information, or the process to acquire such information, is freely provided online by both the state department of corrections and federal Bureau of Prisons websites.
   
   
   
5. Sharing Your Content and Information
   
   You own all of the content and information you post on PostAPrisoner.com, and you can control how it is shared through your Settings menu. In addition:
   
   
1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and Settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with PostAPrisoner.com ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
   
   
2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
   
   
3. When you publish content or information using the "everyone" setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of PostAPrisoner.com, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
   
   
4. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about PostAPrisoner.com, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
