Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
As surfers on the World Wide Web, many of us share concerns about the privacy of any
personally identifiable information we might disclose. To address these issues,
Pain-Pal/PainPal has devised a privacy policy for visitors to this website. Please read the
following below.
PainPal.com and Pain-Pain.com are both founded and run by Esther Lurie and are now
integrated into one website. You may still see use of one or the other name on this
website but the names are one and the same.
PainPal collects personally identifiable information about you that you volunteer, such as
name, address, email address, phone numbers, and payment information solely for the
purpose of providing you with/allowing you to participate in Pain-Pal services and
activities of your choosing, as well as communicate with you via email about Pain-Pal news
and happenstance that may be of interest. PainPal might also contact you about other
pain-related websites and blogs run by Esther Lurie. You will not however be contacted
from those websites unless you provide your contact information there.
As with most websites, when you visit this one, a small file called a cookie might be placed
on your computer for statistical and analytical purposes related to website traffic and
traffic patterns. Other times, cookies may be placed on your computer to enable sign-in
and password usage for website-provided services you choose to engage in. In addition,
this website also using advertisements served via Google, Inc., to generate revenue.
Google, Inc. uses tracking modalities to monitor advertising activity. Not all tracking is
done via cookie usage; many web hosting companies and advertiser servers add tracking
devices in web building software and other technical means to statistically monitor usage
without identifying any personal information tied to an identifiable person.
To opt out of cookie placement on this and most other websites, be sure to set all your
browsers and firewalls to do so. At the present time, and since Pain-Pal's inception - in 2002
- pain-pal.com/painpal.com has had no use for cookies and continues not to. By default,
however, cookies may be placed on your computer by the company who hosts this
website, Yahoo! Inc. Again, to opt out of cookies, be sure to set your browsers and
firewalls to do so, but be prepared to unblock first party cookies when you need to sign-in
for a future service requiring log-in, as well as when you go to a payment processing
website to pay for services offered via this website, painpal.com.
Pain-Pal/PainPal will never knowingly sell, lend, barter, trade or otherwise distribute
your personally identifiable information to any outside party without your knowledge and
consent unless required to do so in good faith for the purposes of law enforcement, legal
processes, or to protect this website and/or others from harm.
When you voluntarily submit your personally identifiable information to PainPal via this
website, or contact PainPal via phone or postal mail, your information is saved for future
use. Pain-Pal might use this information to contact you in the future for the purposes of
following up on current or prior interactions with you. Or Pain-Pal might contact you to
keep you abreast of PainPal news, services, activities, publications. Should you pay for any
PainPal.com products or services via check or money order, your account numbers will be
kept offline and private.
Pain-Pal is hosted by Yahoo! inc., who also maintains PainPal email services and thus
theoretically has access to the information contained in them as well. And so, any
personally identifiable information and other content you supply to Pain-Pal via this
website, will also be accessible to Yahoo.com as well. Yahoo.com has a privacy policy that
respects your concerns for privacy and you may opt to read that on their website,
www.yahoo.com.
Pain-Pal does not assume any liability or responsibility for any actions or inactions taken by
yahoo.com regarding this website, and the activity thereof that is out of Pain-Pal's control,
or is not authorized by Pain-Pal/Esther Lurie.
OptOut
Should you wish to change your contact information, or opt out of additional contact
with/from PainPal, please do so according to the following below. PainPal reserves the
right to contact you again only if outstanding matters remain from prior interaction.
Please send notification of your request via the original/active email address you currently
use to contact Pain-Pal.com. To help insure this request is from you and not someone
acting in your name without your permission, PainPal.com will send an email confirmation
number to you.
You are requested to send this confirmation number back to painpal.com at
painpaloptout@painpal.com from that email address. If you have however notified Pain-Pal
of your use of a new email address, please send this confirmation number back to PainPal
from your new address.
Please direct your requests to painpaloptout@painpal.com.
SECURE ONLINE PAYMENTS:
Pain-Pal.com offers purchasers of it's services the opportunity to send secure online
payment for the above at no additional charge via online third-party payment service
provider, PayPal, inc., owned by Ebay.
PayPal inc, (not to be confused with this website, painpal.com/pain-pal.com) is a
well-known, worldwide secure third party payment processor. You do not have to become
a registered user of PayPal, inc. to use their payment services. Should you opt to send
payment to PainPal via this service, PainPal.com recommends you read their Privacy Policy
and user agreements contained on their website. If you're not comfortable with anything,
you do not have to use their service. You can pay for PainPal.com services via alternative
means. The PayPal, inc. Privacy Policy discloses how they keep your payment and
personally identifiable information secure, and how you are protected from fraudulent
websites.
Please be advised that PainPal.com will not have access to your credit card and other
account numbers related to your transactions with PayPal, inc. Nor does PainPal.com have
any control over any of their policies and what they do to keep your information secure,
both now and in the future.

the online payment transaction process. Following your transaction, PayPal, Inc will send a
receipt of your transaction to the email address you supply to them.
When you elect to pay electronically for services or products on PainPal.com, you will be

your order if it doesn't.
To protect yourself against online fraud in general, never send your payment account
numbers to anyone via email, nor disclose your passwords. And whenever you pay for any
services electronically on the web, make sure you see the company's correct website
address in your browser's address bar, proceeded by https:// and a "lock" symbol on your
browser's web page.
When paying via paypal.com, you should look for two security locks; one on the order form
itself, and the other as the usual one seen on your browser's web page. Additionally, there
are built in security features to help securely link you between painpal.com and
paypal.com.
You may also opt to pay for any painpal.com service and product via check or money order
sent via postal mail.
