FAN MEDIA NETWORK

PRIVACY POLICY

BY REGISTERING WITH FAN MEDIA NETWORK (“FAN MEDIA”), 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. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our mobile services, Service and any software provided on or in connection with our Fan Media services (collectively, the “Service”), and Your choices about the collection and use of Your information.

Information We Collect

Fan Media gathers information about its users in three basic ways: (i) personal information You knowingly choose to disclose to us and (ii) information collected by us as You interact with our Service and (iii) third party information from advertisers and sponsors.

Fan Media’s objective is to allow You to share Your information with everyone through the Service. You decide how much information You feel comfortable sharing through our Service. You can block other users from texting You, but there are no privacy settings with respect to your profile and the content you post through the Service.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to entities that Fan Media does not own or control, such as advertisers, sponsors and third parties that post through our Service or sell products or services.

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, and other personal or preference information that You choose to provide. You may also provide us with certain information when we communicate with You electronically. 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 experiences on our Service, improving our Service and communicating with You.

Of course, when You use our Service, 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 Content (as defined in the Fan Media Service Agreement) on our Service at Your own discretion and Your own risk. We cannot and do not guarantee that Content You post will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. Once You register, You can add or remove personal information about Yourself. However, You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored Your Content. Any improper collection or misuse of information provided through our Service is a violation of Fan Media’s Service Agreement and should be reported to privacy@fanmedianetwork.com.

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

Metadata is technical data that is associated with Content. For example, metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of Content was collected and how that Content is formatted. You can add or may have metadata added to the Content including a tag (e.g., to mark headlines when You post a video), geotag (e.g., to mark Your location to a video), or other data. This makes Your Content more searchable by others and more interactive. If You geotag Your video or tag Your video using other’s APIs then, Your latitude and longitude will be stored with the video and searchable (e.g., through a location or map feature).

Automatic Information. When You use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on Your device, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers.” Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with Your mobile device, which uniquely identify Your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by our Service. A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third party partner about how You browse and use the Service and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled. When You access and use our Service, we may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels, web beacons and local storage to collect information about how You use our Service.

We may also receive information (“Log Data”) such as Your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages visited, location, Your mobile carrier, search terms and cookie information. We may receive Log Data when You interact with our Services, for example, when You visit our Services, interact with our notifications. We may also receive Log Data when You click on, view or interact with a link on our Services to a third party application, such as when You choose to install another application through Fan Media. Fan Media uses Log Data to provide, understand, and improve our Services.

Banner advertisements are displayed on our Service which may contain cookies. While Fan Media does not use cookies in of our Service, the cookies received with banner ads are collected by our advertising partners, and Fan Media does not have access to this information. With respect to cookies, users have a choice. By modifying their settings, 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 of our Service.

Fan Media may use a common technology known as a clear gif or action tag on the Service and in email communications with Members. A clear gif (standing for “graphic interface format”) is a 1x1pixel graphic image that Fan Media or one of its partners places on a page of the Service. Fan Media may also occasionally place clear gif in email messages that it sends to Members. Clear gifs provide important information about how Members use our Service and respond to email messages. This helps better track certain promotions and understand the effectiveness of Fan Media’s outreach to Members. Fan Media may also allow its advertisers and partners the ability to use clear gifs on our Service solely to track Members who link from a Website to this Service, 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.

We use third party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for our Service. These tools collect information sent by Your device or our Service, including pages You visit, add-ons and other information that assists us in improving our Service.

Fan Media also uses GPS to track its users’ locations. This allows fans to search for other fans of their favorite teams in their area and to connect with them via in-app texting. However, you will be given an opportunity to opt out of GPS tracking if you so choose.

Fan Media prohibits persons under the age of 18 from registering on its Service, and does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18.

We may institute programs with advertising partners or sponsors in which they share information with us.
