PRIVACY POLICY

BY REGISERING WITH FAN MEDIA NETWORK, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU MUST NOT REGISTER, OR, IF YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED, YOU MUST PROMPTLY TERMINATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

Information We Collect

Fan Media Network gathers information about its users in two basic ways: (i) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose to us and (ii) information collected by us as you interact with our Website.

Personal Information You Give Us: When you register with us, or sign up for various services, you will give us certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, and other personal or preference information that you choose to provide. You may also provide us with certain information when we communicate with you via email. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future Website experiences, improving our Website and communicating with you.

Of course, when you use our Website, and begin to voluntarily disclose personal information by establishing a profile, posting Content, sending messages and communicating with Members, this information will be gathered and stored as well. You post User Content (as defined in the Fan Media Network Service Agreement) on the Website at your own discretion and your own risk. We cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings contained on the Website. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content. Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on our Website is a violation of Fan Media Network’s Service Agreement and should be reported to privacy [at] fanmedianetwork [dot] com.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about Fan Media Network, we will send an email to those friends. Those friends will not receive any other email from Fan Media Network unless they choose to respond.

If you’re purchasing a product, we’ll request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the products and services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information will be forwarded to your credit card provider.

Automatic Information. When you enter our Website, we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include: (i) your Internet protocol address, the name of your service provider and your browser type; (ii) the number of links you click within the site; (iii) the date and time of your visit; (iv) the Web page you linked to our site from, (v) the state or country from which you accessed the site; and (vi) the pages you viewed on the site.

Our Website uses cookies (i.e., small bits of text that our servers place into a file on your computer’s hard drive). This is used to save your preferences and login information, and provide personalized functionality. Cookies are also used to help Fan Media Network to track the response to messages sent to Members on behalf of marketers so that Fan Media Network can monitor and report campaign results to the marketer and track response history. In addition, banner advertisements are displayed on our Website which may contain cookies. While Fan Media Network uses cookies in other parts of our Website, the cookies received with banner ads are collected by our advertising partners, and Fan Media Network does not have access to this information. With respect to cookies, users have a choice. By modifying their browser preferences, they have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. If they choose to reject all cookies, they may disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Fan Media Network also uses a common technology known as a clear gif or action tag on the Website and in email communications with Members. A clear gif (standing for “graphic interface format”) is a 1x1pixel graphic image that Fan Media Network or one of its partners places on a page of the Website. Fan Media Network may also occasionally place clear gif in email messages that it sends to Members. Clear gifs provide important information about how Members use the Website and respond to email messages. This helps better track certain promotions and understand the effectiveness of Fan Media Network’s outreach to Members. Fan Media Network may also allow its advertisers and partners the ability to use clear gifs on the Website solely to track Members who link from their respective site to this Website, though this ability to track such activity does not allow these entities access to any Member’s personal information to which they are not otherwise entitled.

Fan Media Network may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Website and Service in order to provide you with more relevant and useful information.

By using Fan Media Network, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Children Under Age 13

Fan Media Network prohibits persons under the age of 13 from registering on its Website, and does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, do not attempt to register for Fan Media Network or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on Fan Media Network. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy [at] fanmedianetwork [dot] com. We recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

If users do not provide the required personally identification information or do not agree that Fan Media Network may share their personally identifiable information with such entities, then they may not register as a Member, and if they are already a Member, they must immediately terminate their account.

Additionally, Fan Media Network may share Member personally identifiable information in aggregate, non-personal form, with select companies that wish to reach a particular target audience (e.g., registered male Members between the ages of 25 to 50 who have an average household income of over $50,000). This information will allow these entities to provide relevant offers to specific Members.

Finally, Fan Media Network may disclose Member personally identifiable information in order to: (i) comply with applicable laws; (ii) respond to governmental inquiries; (iii) comply with valid legal process; and (iv) protect the rights of property of Fan Media Network or other Members of this Site.

All Fan Media Network employees are required to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy provides that employees are obligated to keep Member information confidential. This obligation continues once an employee has left our company.

Protection of Confidential Information

Fan Media Network strives to protect the confidential information it has collected about Members. Fan Media Network has made a substantial investment in its server, database, backup and firewall technologies to protect the information assets to protect the confidentiality of information collected about Members. These technologies are deployed as part of a sophisticated security architecture and protocol. When a user enters credit card information, we reveal only a portion of the digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. The information is processed using a secure server, and the secure server software (SSL) encrypts the information. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
