You may provide us with additional information to make public, such as a short
biography, your location, or a picture. You may customize your account with
information such as a cell phone number for the delivery of SMS messages or your
address book so that we can help you find fanZ users you know. We may use your
contact information to send you information about our Services or to market to
you. You may unsubscribe from these messages by following the instructions
contained within the messages or the instructions on our web site. If you email
us, we may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond
to your request. Providing the additional information described in this section
is entirely optional.
Posts, Becoming A Fan or Rival, and other Public Information:
Our Services are primarily designed to help you share information with the
world. Most of the information you provide to us is information you are asking
us to make public. This includes not only the messages you post and the metadata
provided with posts, such as when you posted, but also the people you become a
fan or rival of, the posts you mark as favorites or reposts,and many other bits
of information. Our default is almost always to make the information you provide
public but we generally give you settings to make the information more private
if you want in your account settings. Your public information is broadly and
instantly disseminated. For example, your public posts are searchable by many
search engines and are immediately delivered via SMS and our API to a wide range
of users and services. You should be careful about all information that will be
made public by FanZ, not just your posts.
What you say on fanZ may be viewed all around the world
instantly.
Location Information:
You may choose to note your location in your messages and in your fanZ profile.
If you turn on posting with your location, we may also save exact coordinates to
help improve our service. You can control your location information settings in
your account settings.
Log Data:
Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of
the Services. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser
type, the referring domain, pages visited, your mobile carrier, device and
application IDs, and search terms. Other actions, such as interactions with our
website, applications and advertisements, may also be included in Log Data. If
we haven’t already deleted the Log Data earlier, we will either delete it or
remove any common account identifiers, such as your username, full IP address,
or email address, after 18 months.
Links:
fanZ may keep track of how you interact with links in posts across our Services
including third party services and clients by redirecting clicks or through
other means. We do this to help improve our Services, including advertising, and
to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a
particular link was clicked on.
Cookies:
Like many websites, we use "cookie" technology to collect additional website
usage data and to improve our Services, but we do not require cookies for many
parts of our Services such as searching and looking at public user profiles. A
cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk.
FanZ may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand
how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and
web traffic routing on our Services, and to improve our Services. Most Internet
browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing
its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a
cookie from the websites you visit.
Third Party Services:
fanZ uses a variety of services hosted by third parties to help provide our
Services, such as hosting our various blogs and wikis, and to help us understand
the use of our Services, such as Google Analytics. These services may collect
information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies
or your IP request.
We do not disclose your private information except
in the limited circumstances described here
Your Consent:
We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when you
use a third party web client or application to access your fanZ account.
Service Providers:
We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide
services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties,
but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such
services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this
privacy policy.
Law and Harm:
We may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably
necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the
safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to
protect fanZ's rights or property.
Business Transfers:
In the event that fanZ is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition,
reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as
part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your
information as transferred to the new entity.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information:
We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal
information, such as your public posts or the number of users who clicked on a
particular link (even if only one did).
Modifying Your Personal Information
If you are a registered user of our Services, we provide you with tools to access or modify
the personal information you provided to us and associated with your account. You can
also permanently delete your fanZ account by clicking on your account settings
and deactivating the account. When your account is deactivated, it is not
viewable on fanZ.com. For up to 30 days it is still possible to restore your
account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. After 30 days, we
begin the process of deleting your account from our systems, which can take up
to a week.
Our Policy Towards Children
Services are not directed to people under 13. If you become aware that your
child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please
contact us at admin@fanz.com . We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we
become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we
take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.
Changes To This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the
policy will govern our use of your information and will always be at
fanz.com/docs/privacy If we make a change to this policy that, in our
sole discretion, is material, we will notify you via an @fanZ update or e-mail
to the email associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the
Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the
revised Privacy Policy.
