The Feedroom Privacy Policy
Updated March 20, 2009
We at The FeedRoom, Inc. are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that you share with us. The FeedRoom has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit The FeedRoom’s Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
Our privacy procedures include the following:
- We give full disclosure of our privacy policies and procedures
- We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone without your permission
- We allow all users to opt out at any time from receiving email messages from The FeedRoom as well as its sponsors and business partners
- We allow users to access their user profiles and change their information whenever they want
This policy may change as procedures and requirements evolve, and as we modify or expand our business. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post these changes on this page so that you are always aware of how, when and under what circumstances we collect, use and disclose your Personal Information. In addition, if you so elect, we will send you an email whenever we make such changes to this policy. Your continued use of http://www.feedroom.com is your agreement to any such changes.
It is important to be aware that our Web site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other Web sites. This privacy policy only applies to information collected from you on http://www.feedroom.com.
Use of Personal Information
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within The FeedRoom or to The FeedRoom’s third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.
The FeedRoom strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, The FeedRoom intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an “adequate” level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred or retained.
