Privacy Policy
 

Fooky.com shares your concern about the protection of your personal information online. This is our policy regarding the privacy of information we collect on our web sites.

Information Gathered and Tracked by Fooky.com
Fooky.com gathers two types of data about users: (a) personal information, which individual users provide (i) when browsing as a guest of Fooky.com through our freely accessible content, (ii) when registering as a subscriber to our premium subscription services, and (iii) voluntarily at certain other points, such as contests or surveys; and (b) tracking information, which is automatically collected about all visitors to our sites.

Personal Information
Personal information is gathered in several places on our web sites. We will always provide a secure area of our sites for you to enter your information.

Premium Services
If you'd like access our premium subscription-based content and services, we require you first to register as a subscriber of Fooky.com. In order to register, you'll have to pick a unique User Name and password.

Surveys/Polls
At certain times, you may be asked to participate in surveys, which are generally aimed at obtaining general information, for example, your experience to our services or your reactions to a particular content. Because information obtained in these surveys is connected with individual subscribers and is used internally to better market our services, participation is voluntary. In addition, some content will on occasion take polls of subscribers. Such polls are solely for the editorial use of the individual content, and participation is voluntary.

Contests and Purchases
We sometimes offer contests in which certain personal information is required for registration, for purposes of verifying the entrants' identities and notifying the winners. If the contest is being administered by a third party, this information will be disclosed to that third party. However, entrants select contest names distinct from their User Names, and the information is not connected with their User Names. Purchases are carried out by third party affilites

Tracking Information
Tracking data consists of both individual and aggregated tracking information and is automatically gathered using "cookies".

What is a "cookie"?
A cookie is a small data file containing information, such as a user's login name, that is written to the user's hard drive by a web server and used to track the pages visited. Cookies used by Fooky.com are encoded and contain a unique digital signature to prevent tampering. They do not contain user passwords. The individual information gathered in this manner is used for internal purposes only, such as accessing a subscriber's account information. We also use the information on an aggregate basis, to track the readership of stories and analyze traffic patterns on our site. You can control your browser's settings regarding cookies by selecting "Internet Options" or "Preferences" in the menu bar of your browser. This will allow you to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, have your browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether. However, because cookies allow you to easily navigate our web sites without having to constantly reenter your User Name and password, we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Tracking by our Advertisers and Vendors
In addition to cookies placed by Fooky.com, advertisers and vendors that serve ads or content onto our web sites may use their own cookies or other tracking technologies. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any such advertisers and vendors.

Use of the Information
Fooky.com uses information obtained from its users as stated in this Privacy Policy, and to enhance users' experiences on our sites. As a general rule, we will not disclose any personal information to any third parties, except when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, to protect other users of Fooky.com's services, or to respond to an emergency. Tracking information is used to create aggregate reports on user demographics and site traffic patterns and then provided to our advertisers and partners, enabling them to better target their advertisements to our users. None of the information provided to them can be connected to the identities or other personal information of individual users.

Email Bulletins
If you provided your email address to Fooky.com, we use your email address to send you email bulletins containing selected articles, information, advertisements and links to our sites. You can remove yourself from our email bulletin delivery list at any time by an automated unsubscribe link within the email or contacting our customer service department by email at info[at]Fooky.com.

Premium Services
If you're a subscriber, we may use your email address to deliver our premium content and services. You can view your account information at any time by visiting the Account Service page or by contacting our customer service department by email at info[at]Fooky.com

Agents
Your personal information may be given to contractors or other agents engaged by Fooky.com to provide certain services, such as bulk email delivery, premium content delivery and contest administration. Information will be shared with such contractors only to the extent reasonably necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, and pursuant to reasonable confidentiality obligations.

Illegal Activity
If you partake, or we reasonably suspect that you are partaking, in any illegal activity, we may disclose your personal information without a subpoena, warrant or other court order to the extent we feel is necessary to cooperate with appropriate authorities.

Corporate Transfers
We reserve the right to transfer any personal information or tracking information that we have collected to a third party in the event that we sell or otherwise transfer substantially all of our assets related to any web site that we own or operate and any product or service that we offer.

Security
Fooky.com uses reasonable security methods to protect the data that resides on our servers. However, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our servers, nor can we guarantee that information that users supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

Questions regarding this policy should be directed to at info[at]Fooky.com. Fooky.com reserves the right to modify this policy effective seven (7) days after the posting of the revised policy.
