Pulsd.com Privacy Policy

We started Pulsd.com because we wanted to bring the latest news from the streets of New York City to our friends. They went and told their friends about the service, who went and told their friends and the service started to grow.

We are committed to offering a complete set of security options that we hope will make your experience the best possible. We want to provide you with the privacy tools necessary to control how and with whom you share your information.

Pulsd Inc., (Pulsd) owns and runs several websites, including pulsd.com and prmps.com (Websites). A link to this privacy policy is included on each page of the Websites.

If you have questions or suggestions, please send them to privacy@pulsd.com
