Trinity Intel Media LLC (DBA " Pollpals"), ("Pollpals") is committed
to respecting the privacy of our users. Pollpals strives to provide a safe and
secure user experience. This Privacy Statement sets forth the online data
collection and usage policies and practices that apply to the web site located
at www.Pollpals.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you consent to
the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement. If you do

content, products and services of such affiliated and non-affiliated entities,
over which Pollpals has no control ("Other Sites"). In some cases,
these Other Sites may have the same (or a similar) look and feel as our Site
and therefore may appear to be part of our Site. However, whenever you choose
to access Other Sites or non- Pollpals content via the Pollpals Site, a
separate browser window will launch and you will leave the Pollpals Site. Pollpals
