We reserve our right to investigate any type of content that violates this Privacy Policy by means of undue, improper or fraudulent use of the Conditions listed herein.

Customer registration (“I need posts”): In order to register in Lowpost for the first time, you will need to provide the following information:

Username
E-mail address
Password
CIF-NIF (tax ID number)
Later on, using your user profile, you may include more data and select a profile picture. To order and purchase posts, you will need to provide the invoicing details required by law: holder of the invoice, CIF and billing address. To process payment, a credit card number is required (unless you use PayPal).

Writer registration (“I am a writer”): In order to register as a writer in Lowpost for the first time, you will need to provide the following information:

Name
Last name(s)
Academic profile

Later on, using your user profile, you may include more data selecting a profile picture, and a contact phone number. In order to receive payments by money transfer for the posts written for Customers, you will need to provide an account number in which payments shall be deposited, as well as any other documents required by law.

Registering at Lowpost implies that you are the account owner and do not pretend to be somebody else. The data provided must be accurate and true. If we detect a false profile or one that goes against this Privacy Policy, we will take the appropriate measures: cancel the profile, block the account and/or inform the relevant authorities.

Likewise, Lowpost pays particular attention to identity and profile theft as a punishable crime (art. 197.1 and 401 of the Spanish Criminal Code); therefore, if we suspect of identity theft, we will verify the user’s identity and, if the offence is confirmed, take the corresponding measures: cancel the profile, block the account and/or inform the relevant authorities. If you know or suspect of a false profile, report it to lopd@lowpost.es.

The user information provided initially will be kept confidential, and will not be accessible by other users, nor indexed through search engines.

After registry, the applicant to Writer will need to complete a compulsory test, in which Lowpost will determine whether to include them in the Lowpost community of Writers. The test is divided in two parts: In the first part, the candidate completes a test on spelling and grammar that also tests the ability to comply with the technical requirements of an ordinary project. If this part is approved, they are asked to write a post as part of the second test; in this case, we evaluate writing quality, style and expression, among other criteria.

Upon successful completion of both tests, the Writer is awarded a grade (RANK) based on test results. From then on, the Writer will be ready to access the projects they have available according to their ranking (RANK).

On the contrary, if the applicant fails the tests, they will not be able to access the projects available on the platform. Test results will be solely used during the admission process. Lowpost shall not create a profile
of the Writer, and shall not use the results for purposes other than the admission process to the Lowpost community of Writers.

Lowpost shall only use the personal information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and, in general, will require your permission to use your personal information for purposes other than those stated during registration.

We collect personal information in order to better administer your personal data as a Lowpost user, and to manage your use of the Lowpost services: application, order and purchase, contest and assignation of content and posts.

Lowpost will only use personal information to contact users electronically and keep them updated of products, news, promotions and new releases. You can customize the frequency of notifications from My information. If you opt out of this type of electronic notifications, you may inform us using the electronic address included at the bottom of each communication, compliant to Art. 21.2 of Act 34/2002, from July 11th, regarding information society and e-commerce services.

The personal data indicated in this Privacy Policy may also be used to settle claims, incidents or inappropriate platform uses. By moderating the activity and contents posted in Lowpost, we can analyze personal information and solve issues that may go against the use of Lowpost services, as well as its user fundamental rights.

Lowpost S.L., through its platform, does not sell, rent, share or distribute to third parties any type of information collected from its users. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge, agree and accept that Lowpost S.L. may keep and reveal your registration data, and any other type of information provided, if required by applicable law or if, in good faith, we consider that said access, storage or disclosure of data is reasonably necessary in order to: (1) comply with a legal proceeding, including but not limited to, subpoenas to appear in court, orders of a court or other enforceable disclosures; (2) enforce this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use; (3) respond to claims of infringement of third-party rights; (4) protect the rights, property or safety of Lowpost S.L. staff, users and general public.

Economic information: Lowpost uses the Writers’ banking details to process their payments via bank transfer. Likewise, Lowpost handles payments from Customers via a secure payment system, by means of the REDSYS electronic platform, and PayPal. In both cases, Lowpost will be notified of the successful charge/payment, as well as of any incident registered.

Accessing your profile information: You may access and modify at any time the personal data provided in your registry form, by accessing the My information menu. The changes introduced will be updated right after you confirm them. However, your previous data may residually remain for a while in the system back-up copies.

Account cancellation: The user may, at any time, cancel the Lowpost service and account by sending an e-mail with the subject “CANCELLATION” to lopd@lowpost.es. From that moment, and once the cancellation has been processed, the user will no longer belong to the Lowpost network, and Lowpost will stop handling their data as part of the services offered and described in Chapter IV of this Privacy Policy, except for proceedings pending resolution between the user and Lowpost, as part of the terms agreed upon between both parties, and from which civil, criminal or administrative liabilities may arise.

Privacy configuration: Lowpost does not have different degrees of visibility since it is our business philosophy to protect user interaction, contact and communications (Customer-Customer, Writer-Writer, Customer-Writer).

Inactive accounts or accounts of deceased users: If Lowpost S.L. becomes aware that a user has passed away, we are entitled to block the account without any further activity. In order to cancel the account, as well as all data contained therein, Lowpost S.L. should receive a formal, accredited and sworn notification from a close relative of the deceased user. On the other hand, if Lowpost S.L. detects inactive accounts in which the user has not replied to up to 3 notifications, or there has not been any activity for 45 days, the account will be put on hold until the user establishes some type of contact.

Compliant to the current personal data protection legislation, we inform that the personal data collected through this platform are stored in files that belong to Lowpost S.L., and are used by Lowpost S.L. to administer the personal data of our registered users, as well as their participation in the services offered by Lowpost S.L., which are described in this Privacy Policy.
Likewise, we will use your personal data to send electronic information regarding products, news, promotions and new services offered by Lowpost S.L. Personal data will never be used for purposes other than those included in this clause.

You may exercise your right to access, correct, cancel and/or object through lopd@lowpost.es, including a copy of your ID (DNI, NIE, passport or equivalent) so that we can verify the identity of the person who contacts us (Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13th, on Personal Data Protection (LOPD).
