About PostMapper.com

  • What is PostMapper?
    Social Bookmarking + Google Maps = PostMapper
    PostMapper is the place to share and discover geographically oriented web content... Think of it as social bookmarking, but on a map. Instead of saving bookmarks in your web browser, PostMapper users can organize web pages by location and save them to their own map. You can also share and find web pages, photos, videos, and more by searching by location or tag name.
  • What can I do with it?
    It allows you to create a map of all your favorite things on the web. Photos, web pages, blog posts, and just about anything that can be reached by a web address.
  • How does it work?
    Everything on PostMapper is submitted by people like you! While everyone can search PostMapper, only registered users can post (it's free!). The easiest way to postmap is to use the above "Bookmarklet" while browsing. Simply click the Bookmarklet in your browser, give it a location, and your done.
  • Who did it and why?
    I (Wade) love travelling, and my bookmark folders have names like "National Parks" and "Places to Fish." So it makes sense for blog posts about Hikes in California belong on a map, instead of in a folder. Here's what I came up with, I hope it helps out a few folks who might have the same issue.

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At iRainmaker we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

iRainmaker, LLC. ("iRainmaker") operates several websites including PostMapper.com. It is iRainmaker's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, iRainmaker collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. iRainmaker’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how iRainmaker’s visitors use its website. From time to time, iRainmaker may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

iRainmaker also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. iRainmaker does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to iRainmaker's websites choose to interact with iRainmaker in ways that require iRainmaker to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that iRainmaker gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at PostMapper.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, iRainmaker collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with iRainmaker. iRainmaker does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

iRainmaker may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, iRainmaker may monitor the most popular users on the PostMapper.com site or monitor an IP address in order to combat spam. iRainmaker may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, iRainmaker does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

iRainmaker discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on iRainmaker's behalf or to provide services available at iRainmaker's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using iRainmaker's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. iRainmaker will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, iRainmaker discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when iRainmaker believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of iRainmaker, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an iRainmaker website and have supplied your email address, iRainmaker may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with iRainmaker and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. iRainmaker takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. iRainmaker uses cookies to help iRainmaker identify and track visitors, their usage of iRainmaker website, and their website access preferences. iRainmaker visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using iRainmaker's websites, with the drawback that certain features of iRainmaker's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, iRainmaker may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in iRainmaker's sole discretion. iRainmaker encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a PostMapper.com account, you should also check your account's profile page for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
