My Place highly recommends and encourages you to read the entire policy contained herein.
The policy informs you, the member of the My Place platform, on how My Place uses your important and given information within the platform.
Within this policy My Place shares the kinds of information My Place collects. Below are some of the places where My Place may obtain information:
Information and data are different based on your activity within the platform. Therefore, My Place may collect different information and use the information differently depending on the type of information collected. Whether it is information from the platform or a third-party affiliate or partner, know My Place will use the information to make your experience better.
The platform allows the members to link together (called connections), message each other, and comment on other member’s accounts and posts (e.g. on the user’s photos, videos, journal entries). The activity conducted on these features are collected and analyzed. Some of this information is, but not inclusive to:
Certain information is protected through jurisdictional laws (Federal, state, local). This type of information should be maintained secured and private. However, you may want to add this information to your profile or within the platform’s data fields. Information about your political party membership, organized or non-organized religion membership, your sexual orientation, health information, racial or ethnic origin, philosophical beliefs, and or other organization memberships where applicable. This and other types of information could have special protections under the laws of your jurisdiction and the information needs to be managed by you in accordance with these laws as they protect not only the information, but you.
My Place will collect information about your linked accounts, connected and non-connected members, and activities with other members (connected and non-connected) in the My Place community. How you interact (e.g. activity) will be collected and monitored, where and when applicable to ensure, in part, a safe and stress free environment is maintained. For instance, the platform does not promote political discussion or debate nor does the platform promote badgering, baiting, and or other negative comments. These types of communications are not permitted and will be investigated for possible member suspension or removal if it violates this policy or the terms and conditions. My Place promotes itself as a place where these types of communications are not welcome.
In the event a member wishes to add their contacts’ information (e.g. phone number, email address, etc.), the information will be collected when uploading or importing from a device and added into the member’s account, whether such account exists for the contact, or not.
Activity from members about other members (connected or non-connected), or comments, connections, and activity by other members is also collected. Other members can be connected or non-connected.
It is possible in the future My Place will recommend other non-connected members for connection based on not just the member’s activity, but also a non-connected member’s activity.
This type of inference is designed to enhance the member’s experience. Some of the inferences are, but not limited to:
Since the platform can be accessed from different devices, My Place collects this type (e.g. device and device activity) of information also.
The type of information My Place collects about the device includes, but is not limited to:
Like our members, our partners and affiliates are important to our success. Therefore, My Place collects and receives information from them. The information My Place receives relates to various activity and information given by the member to the partner and/or affiliate.
The below list is some of the information My Place may receive about you and the device you use (list is not all inclusive):
My Place may receive this information even when you are not using the My Place platform.
To determine how and when a partner, affiliate, or resource shares information with us, please read their privacy policy which can be found on their website or by contacting them.
Since My Place tailors your online experience with our platform to be the best it can be, My Place needs this information. Without this information, you may not receive the best information possible to aid in your life documentation and/or end of life planning.
In the case of de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized information by third parties to prevent an individual’s identity, this information may also be made available to us. My Place will not try to re-identify the individual, but will use the information to provide input for potential platform improvement. My Place may also choose to de-identify, aggregate, or anonymize certain information on or about its members and if My Place chooses to do this action, the information will be used the same way it is used by de-identified third party information.
The information My Place collects is used to provide an enhanced, and better, online platform experience and to use specific advertisements My Place feels best fits the member’s needs and interest.
Because the My Place platform can be accessed from different devices and the member will more than likely use multiple devices to access the platform, the information on these devices and activity will be collected.
In an effort to provide a platform which is not just helpful, but also entertaining and interesting, My Place uses information gleaned from your use of our platform’s many services and information contained in your journal entries and also your comments made on your account and on other member’s account (e.g. photo comments).
As you add information into your profile and other areas on, and in, the platform, My Place designs an advertising campaign which best benefits you, interests you, and/or provides possible solutions to your everyday problems and issues. Advertisements and commercials which will appear in a non-obstructive portion of the platform view, My Place uses the below information (but not all inclusive):
My Place is constantly developing what My Place calls Future Innovations. These Future Innovations are designed to make the platform better and offer you, the member, more services and products. The information My Place obtains and receives helps My Place in this research and development process.
Information collected through the platform’s data collection process is used to:
If My Place has a location services option, and you choose to turn on that option allowing My Place to receive information (e.g. turning on location services) My Place will use the information in its platform’s improvements and performance improvements. GPS location and the operating system the member uses, along with other information will be used in this information collection.
It is possible My Place may receive other information even if the location services is not turned on. The information My Place may receive is found below (but not all inclusive):
Information you give us in building your profile and account is collected. Location information like place of birth, event places, places went to school, and places worked given to My Place through entry into the member’s profile account are collected. This information is used to (but not inclusive to):
My Place is focused on the safety and security of the platform and member’s information and My Place uses the collected information to protect both.
In an effort to aid our subscriber member’s experience My Place also aids and assists our vendor members (aka advertisers, partners, and affiliates) by providing feedback on performance indicators with their business’ links, ads, and banners.
My Place uses the contact information you have given us (e.g. email address) to communicate with you.
My Place analyzes data from many resources to improve and enhance our platform’s performance. Resources like our platform, outside resources (e.g. third party and publicly available data), and even may communicate with other organizations to use their data. It is all done to enhance the member experience and provide a safe and secure online environment for all to enjoy.
How is your information shared on, and within, the My Place platform or with our partners, affiliates, and advertisers?
The My Place platform allows you, at times, to select who you share information with and what others can read about you. There will be times when you are asked about the level of sharing you wish to have for the information you enter.
If you choose to share information with the My Place partners, affiliates, and advertisers they will be able to see the information you share with them.
For instance, if you choose to make your journal entry public, others will be able to see the entry which may include your:
The platform offers members the ability to directly communicate with other members. If you choose to send messages to other members, they will be able to see what you send them in its entirety. Whether it is an immediately available message or a pre-message, the information sent will be able to be seen by the other person at some point.
There are areas on the platform where activity is displayed for others to see. This type of display could include when you are logged on to the platform or are actively engaged in some area of the platform. In this case, your activity may be seen by others. This activity could include (but limited to):
It is possible for people to view and then share, via copying and then pasting a link, your account information when it is made public. For instance, someone can see your profile page in the community section, copy the link from the webpage, and then share it to another platform or device (e.g. send via a messaging service like text).
Additionally, it is possible for members and non-members to view and see comments you have made to other member’s photos, videos, journal entries when these are made public within the setting’s features.
Because settings can be changed, the people who can see and view your information (e.g. comments) may change also. For instance, if you comment on another member’s photo and the member changes their settings for that photo from private to public, your information may then be seen where it originally was not seen by non-members.
Because people attend the same events or have the same experiences with each other, it is possible your information (e.g. photo, video, or written description) may be shared on another member’s account. For instance, two people attending the same event may post to their account a memory about that event which involved both members. Additionally, members can:
Because My Place’s platform is designed to supplement regular social media services, it is recommended members refrain from negative comments, untruthful statements, and political or religious debates on the platform. In the event a member is upset over a particular comment, photo, video, or other upload, in which they are mentioned, they can request a review of the information by the My Place platform review team for possible removal of the information and also up to and including a suspension or revoking of an account.
Some of your information and activity are always public. This includes your name, My Place platform handle, uploaded pictures may be set as public, and information you have added to your journal as being public (e.g. life story, event participation, etc.).
My Place offers the member to set most information uploaded into a public view option.
In an effort to have your life remembered and available to be recalled easily, information set to public is offered up for viewing by anyone (member or non-member) accessing the MyPlaceForever.com website as long as the viewer selects the member’s thumbnail within the community section of the platform.
For example, if a member comments on another member’s photo, video, or journal entry of any kind, then both member’s information may be seen by anyone viewing the posting member’s Eternal Journal and then if the viewing party selects to see the commenting party’s Eternal Journal information all information, and more, may be seen again.
Anyone using the platform can send information made public to anyone from any type of device able to do so. For instance, someone viewing your Eternal Journal page can copy the URL for your Eternal Journal and then send it via text message to someone so they can also access your Eternal Journal. This function is important for your life story to be made visible by those who want to learn about you (e.g. family members you have never met), and possibly friends looking to find you after years of being separated.
Additionally, a member’s public content can also be seen, accessed, shared, and downloaded via
a third-party partner or service. These partners and third-party services are (but not limited to):
Because My Place has many partners and associated resources, the information within your public information can be seen. Information which they may see and access is:
It is possible the partner and/or associated party may request more information than what is readily available (e.g. made public). In this circumstance permission will come from the partner and/or associated party. Be sure to review the explanation they provide to see how they plan on using the additional information and how you can decline the offer.
It is possible My Place will have knowledge of the request made by the partner and/or associated resource. In the event My Place is notified of the request, My Place may log the request. Understand these requests are different from those requests made from the My Place platform (website and App) from any device (e.g. mobile, tablet, or desktop) and the settings options selected from those devices on the platforms.
It is possible that the apps and/or websites you’ve logged into using the My Place platform (e.g. the partners and associated resources) will be able to access your nonpublic information on the My Place platform. However, if you have not used the partners and associated resources app and/or website in 90 days, it is possible this access will be turned off. Special information: even if it is beyond 90 days, any information given and shared with My Place’s partners and associated resources may be retained by the partners and associated resources.
My Place recommends and encourages the members to check settings and options within the apps and/or websites, and of all accessed apps and/or websites, periodically to see which ones may still have access to shared and given information.
When you access My Place’s partners and associated resources apps and/or websites, they receive your activity information when interacting with other members, if this option applies.
For instance, if a member shares a social media post from another platform, and other members comment on the post, the partners and associated resources may receive all given information within the post, if the originating platform integrates with the My Place platform.
My Place does not govern other platform’s handling of information. It is highly recommended the user reviews all applicable privacy policies of the platform they interact with and ensure it meets the user’s online use goals. Each website should have a privacy policy describing how and when they access information given them.
My Place shares given information with the below partners and associated resources:
It would not benefit My Place or the members to sell your information, so My Place will not sell your information.
Additionally, My Place governs our partners and associated resources in their use of the information they obtain and My Place requires them to follow our rules about how they may, or may not, use and disclose information given to them by My Place members.
Additional information about who My Place shares information with:
My Place interacts and shares information with its advertisers in many ways to develop robust advertisement campaigns. This includes sharing reports on the demographic information on a viewer (of the ad) and the kinds of people, things they like, and other miscellaneous information about the viewer. However, the information will not divulge or be used in an effort to identify the member. This sharing process is used to describe the ad audience so the advertiser can better
understand who views their ad.
Some of the additional information My Place provides to the advertiser, but is not directly about the member is:
My Place analyzes your actions within the platform to determine how you interact with the advertisers on the My Place platform. Actions like, making purchases, downloading apps, etc. are analyzed to determine which ads are most effective. However, My Place does not share information (e.g. your name, address, email address, etc.) with the advertiser, which could then be used to identify you, unless such permission to do so is granted by you.
My Place has partnerships with many vendors (aka partners, affiliates, and resources) who provide products and services, which My Place believes to be a benefit for our members. These partners, affiliates, and resources (including their partners acting on their behalf) require certain information to complete a transaction. Information like:
For instance, if you make a purchase from a partner, affiliate, or resource, they may require you to fill out an online form to ship a product to and information pertaining how you intend to purchase an item or service (e.g. credit card information). As in other types of transactions at other platforms, this information will be shared with the partner, affiliate, or resource in order to complete the transaction process.
My Place has many partners, affiliates, and resources and they offer the member an array of options to help manage their life and provide a helpful product or service. When the member chooses to interact with the partners, affiliates, and resources, the partners, affiliates, and resources may receive information about the member’s activity on the My Place platform as it relates to the partners, affiliates, and resources.
My Place does not generate, or have the need to generate, all types of analytical reports. My Place does generate analytical reports, but not for every need. Therefore, My Place may from time-to-time share information with third party analytical businesses to review and create reports to determine an advertiser’s effectiveness in advertising on the My Place platform.
For instance, a specific advertiser may work with a partner analytics team to determine an ads effectiveness and the information My Place analyzes would not suffice in the advertiser’s needs. Therefore, My Place may share certain non-identifying information about an ad and the ad’s viewers and interactors. This way the advertiser can adjust the ad’s performance features where applicable
My Place does not want to inhibit your enjoyment of the platform due to unwanted advertising. Therefore, My Place will share non-identifying information about you with My Place’s marketing team and vendor to better offer you applicable advertising to suit your needs and wants. However, My Place does not offer advertising as a main component of the platform and the advertising is only visible in a small area on the platform’s face. The information My Place may share with its marketing vendors might include your device information which you use to access the platform and subsequent advertisement. Any information shared is done with the intent to improve your experience on the platform by displaying those ads which appeal to you or benefit you in a way My Place has deemed appropriate.
Service providers are considered vendors since they provide a service to you which assists us in bringing you our and our partners, affiliates, and resources products and services. As such, My Place shares information with service providers to also enhance your experience with the platform. Information My Place may share is (but not limited to) used for:
My Place provides information to the marketing teams who work in conjunction with our research and development teams.

As vendors advertise on My Place products, so does My Place advertise on other vendor’s platforms. My Place may choose to advertise the My Place products and services on other apps and websites.
