Group-O-Matic will provide notice of materially significant changes to this privacy policy by posting notice on the Group-O-Matic site.

First and foremost, your privacy is very important to us, and we pride ourselves in making every effort to protect it. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.

Group-O-Matic is owned by I've Got a Fang, Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation. This privacy policy covers all information related to the Group-O-Matic service including any information sent through the Group-O-Matic web site at www.groupomatic.com.

1. Protecting your privacy

  • We try to collect as little information as possible.

  • We don't run pop-ups, pop-unders, or any other kind of intrusive commercial advertising.
  • We don't share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
  • We don't engage in cross-marketing or link-referral programs with other sites.
  • We don't send you unsolicited communications for marketing purposes.
  • We don't publicly display private email addresses to reduce 3rd party harvesting & spam.
  • We don't share your email address with your group members by default, and never without your explicit consent.
  • We confirm all requests to join groups.
  • We provide the ability for you to leave any groups you have joined.

  • Group-O-Matic does not knowingly collect any information from persons under the age of 13. If Group-O-Matic learns that information is posted by a person under the age of 13, Group-O-Matic will remove that information.
  • Group-O-Matic, or people who post information on Group-O-Matic, may provide links to third party websites, which may have different privacy practices. We are not responsible for, nor have any control over, the privacy policies of those third party websites, and encourage all users to read the privacy policies of each and every website visited.

2. Data we collect

  • We sometimes collect your email address, for purposes of joining groups, getting requested notifications, etc.
  • We collect a display name when you join a group to identify you within the group to other group members.
  • We may collect personal information if you provide it in feedback or comments, post it to a group message, post it during group scheduling of events, or if you contact us directly. Please do not post any personal information on Group-O-Matic's public group listing pages that you expect to keep private.
  • Our web logs collect standard web log entries for each page served, including your IP address, page URL, and timestamp. Web logs help us to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the Group-O-Matic site, and to otherwise provide our service to you. Your email address should generally not be stored in our web logs because all our forms that take an email address use POST requests.

3. Data we store

  • All group postings are stored in our database until removed by group members.
  • Our web logs are stored indefinitely.
  • Although we make good faith efforts to store the information in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public, we cannot guarantee complete security.

4. Archiving and display of Group-O-Matic postings by search engines and other sites

  • Search engines and other sites not affiliated with Group-O-Matic may archive or otherwise make available Group-O-Matic public group listing pages, e.g. through Google search.

5. Circumstances in which Group-O-Matic may disclose information that personally identifies you

  • Group-O-Matic may disclose information that personally identifies a particular user if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process.
  • Group-O-Matic may also disclose information that personally identifies a particular user to law enforcement officers or others, in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: enforce our Terms of Use; respond to claims that any posting or other content violates the rights of third-parties; or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Group-O-Matic, its users or the general public.

6. International Users

  • By visiting our web site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that due to the international dimension of Group-O-Matic we may use the data collected in the course of our relationship for the purposes identified in this policy or in our other communications with you, including the transmission of information outside your resident jurisdiction.
