What we collect we share. The only exceptions are your personal email address, private photo albums and private events. You can share a private album, but the visitors need a key to open a private album. That key is in the URL of your private photo album. You simply share the URL.
In time this website will become a social network site. You will have the option not to participate. The standard option will be “I do not want to be a part of the social network site”. In other words: whatever happens, your information stays private.
PUERTOPARROT COMMUNITY SERVICES is a registered company located in the Philippines.
If you believe any information, picture, link, comment, article, classified ad, (city) event , city service or listed business is inappropriate, misleading, has errors or is not complete, please contact us. We will look into your request and handle the issue as such.
You have to login with your email address. This information is never shared anywhere on the website, unless you explicitly enter it as a detailed information in your user account or business account.
You may receive emails from this website. The ways you can be contacted by us to your personal email address are:
In general, two types of visitors can contact you. Registered users and guests. If a registered user contact you, this person's email will not be visible. If a guest contacts you, the email of this guest will be provided to you. All emails are from noreply@puertoparrot.com, a mailbox that is never checked. All emails about this website have to be send to contact@puertoparrot.com.
Never, ever, will any visitor, registered or not, become your email. If a guest wants to contact you, you will have to reply to this guest by his or her personal email. This email will be provided in the generated post this website will send to you. Doing this will, of course, reveal your email address. This will be clearly stated in the email you receive from this website.
Any registered user has a personal profile. This is public. There is no list where profiles can be found. Only if you post an article, an event, a classified ad, a city service or a comment, your profile link is visible. Whatever you post in your profile will be visible as well. Exceptions are your email, private albums and your real name (see next). You may upload an avatar picture. In the long description, you can upload more pictures.
In the settings of the profile, you can enter your real name. In the dashboard > settings you may chose to hide your real name for visitors. In this case, your real name is only used when sending an email to your personal inbox. This option is set to not showing your real name when you create a new account. In other words: you have to explicitly change this option for other visitors to see your real name.
Anybody can create his or her business for free on this website. There is no limit on how many businesses you can create. Any business is listed publicly. People who want to contact your business, guests and registered users alike, will actually contact the owner of the business. As always, your personal email is not provided to the visitor.
You can create photo albums. There is no limit how many albums you can create and how many pictures you upload in each one of them. Public photo albums will have links in your profile page. Private photo albums are only visible to you and those who have the key to access them. Photo albums are not and will never be listed as a site wide overview page. If you find that a photo album needs special attention, please contact us and we will see what we can do for you. Sunsets is an example of a site wide promoted photo album.
As a subscribed user, you may create city events. A city event is visible to anybody who choses that city. The administrators may delete a city event if they believe that the event is more private than public. For example: a festival is a public city event, a birthday party is not. City events and business events are not the same. Except, if your business organizes an event that is really public. For example, a basketball tournament or a street/beach festival. In this case, create 2 events. One for your business and one for the city.
Agreed that some city events can be ambiguous. For example a funeral. If the person was a public figure (a politician, writer, actor, singer, ...) that is indeed a city 'event' for it is written in the news papers.
We, the administrators and editors of this website, will keep city events as clean as possible. We are very flexible. If somebody wants to use a city event to promote a business, this event will be deleted. Advertise with us to promote your business.
Personal events are only visible to you. Nobody else will be able to see it. The only purpose is that an email will be send to you the day before the event is taking place. You can use this service as a reminder.
Business events are only visible to registered users who have bookmarked your business and on your business page on this website. This special feature is free and a great way to promote your business by informing your customers about future events. If your event is really public (a festival for example), you may consider creating a city event as well.
And please consider to advertise with us to promote your business.
This is the only part of the website where visitors can post items. As a visitor, you will need to provide a phone number or an email address. As a registered user, you can be contacted in-site, not revealing any of your personal contact information. As a registered user, an email will be send to your personal inbox to remind you that somebody wants to contact you.
You can reply on the site without ever revealing your personal email address. Except if this person is a visitor. Then it is up to you to reply on your own email account or don't reply at all.
