Post-it® App Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 1, 2019

3M understands that privacy is important to you. Please read the following to learn more about how we use and disclose information collected through the Post-it® App (“App”), including personal information. By using the App, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our End User License Agreement, which is available at https://www.post-it.com/3M/en_US/post-it/ideas/app/eula/ (PDF, 156 KB).

  • About the Post-it® App

    The App gathers technical information about how you use the app. This allows the App to evaluate the usefulness of App features to users, and to make improvements to the App.

  • What information does the App collect?

    The App collects the following types of information:

     
    • Technical data, such as information about your usage of the App (e.g., features used, content viewed, dates and times of interactions) and technical data about your device, such as operating system, model, etc. The App collects this technical data automatically when you download the App and as you use it.
       
    • Location information, meaning precise real-time location information collected using your device's GPS technology. The App uses location information to provide you with a record of where you captured physical Post-it® Notes with the App. This location information is displayed in the App, and included in export formats such as PowerPoint® and PDF. Please note that we will NOT access precise location information from your device unless you grant the App permission to do so; if you do not grant the App permission to access precise location information, your captures will not be stored with location information and no location information will be added to exported formats.

    3M uses third-party analytics services to collect the technical data above, including services provided by Flurry, Inc., a subsidiary of Oath (Americas) Inc. (“Flurry”), and Mixpanel, Inc. (“Mixpanel”). Please use the following links for more information about how Flurry and Mixpanel collect and use data when you visit their partners’ websites or apps:

    3M may allow selected third parties, including these analytics services, to place cookies on the 3M App. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites.

    We may also collect information from you directly outside of the App if you provide it to us, for example, based on an inquiry you make associated with the App. In addition, we may collect information about you from third parties and combine it with the information we have collected from you.

    In addition, 3M may collect aggregated, non-identifiable demographic information if you use certain social media platforms to install the App.

  • Will 3M share any of the information it receives?

    3M may share any information it collects with:
     

    • Service providers or business partners who work on our behalf or partner with 3M to provide or improve the App or related products, services, or events, provided that such service providers or business partners may not use any personal information we share with them for their own independent purposes (except on an aggregated, deidentified basis). Such service providers and business partners may include, but are not necessarily limited to, Flurry and Mixpanel (as described above).
    • Our affiliates and subsidiaries.
    • Other entities, to the extent that 3M has a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with law, regulatory requirement, judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process served on us, (b) protect the safety, rights, or property of 3M, you, others or public welfare, or (c) detect, prevent, or respond to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our End User License Agreement.

    We may also otherwise share information we collect with your permission.

    We may also sell, assign, lease, exchange, or publish your information in conjunction with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition of all or part of our assets, in which case, a surviving or acquiring company will be authorized to use your personal information subject to their own privacy policy.

    We may share aggregate or de-identified information (i.e., information that does not identify you personally) with third parties for any purpose.

  • How does 3M secure my information?

    3M takes steps to protect information collected through the App. Unfortunately, the Internet and any technical system cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure or error-free, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.

  • Where is this information processed?

    All information collected by the App will be processed in and subject to the laws of the United States, which, if you are not located in the United States, may not provide the same level of protection for your information as your home country. This information may be available to the United States government or its agencies under a lawful order made in the United States. In addition, we may transfer your information outside the United States to our affiliates, business partners, and service providers located in other countries. By using the App and providing us your information, you consent to such transfer of your information to, and processing of your information in, the United States and these other countries.

  • What choices do I have?

    You may choose not to install the App. You may choose not to provide certain information requested by the App. Please keep in mind that withholding this information may prevent the App from providing full functionality, as described above. You may choose to receive or stop push notifications at any time. "Push notifications" are messages that are sent to your mobile device to alert you about, for example, customer surveys, or to remind you to take certain actions. You can choose to turn push notifications on or off in the Settings of your device.

    Through the App, you may access, and in some cases, edit or delete certain information stored locally in the App. The information you can view and update may change as the App undergoes further development. If you have any questions about viewing or updating your information, please contact us using one of the methods on the App support page at post-it.com/app.

    If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you may opt out of receiving marketing emails by using the unsubscribe information available in any marketing email, or you may submit a request using one of the methods on the App support page at post-it.com/app. Please note that you may not opt-out of receiving non-promotional email messages regarding programs or events you have registered for or certain administrative, technical, or safety notices about the App or our products or services.

  • Children’s Information

    This App is not directed to or intended for use by children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you become aware that a child under your care has provided us with information without your consent, please contact us using one of the methods on the App support page at post-it.com/app.

  • Links to Other Websites or Third-Party Services

    The App may contain links to external websites or third-party services (such as retailer websites). We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on websites or third-party services that may be accessed through these links. When following a link to another website or third-party service, you should read the privacy policy for that website or service.

  • Data Retention and Deletion

    We will retain your information for our legitimate business purposes, such as to maintain your account and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We also may retain and use any aggregate or de-identified information (i.e., information that does not identify you personally) for any purpose.

    If you no longer wish to use the App and wish to deactivate or delete your account, please delete the App and contact us using one of the methods on the App support page at post-it.com/app.
