This Privacy Policy explains the policy of Funk Machine Inc. regarding the
privacy of information supplied by users or collected by us from users of the
site. As part of the normal operation of the site, we collect information about
you. This Privacy Policy describes generally the information we collect about
you and how this information is used.
We will endeavor to respect your privacy and will only use your personal
information, such as your name, business address, e-mail address or phone
number, for reasonable business purposes.
In order to establish a more personalized relationship with you, we will
also use your personal information to determine what services you truly value. You will be able to edit certain elements of
your personal information in the “MY FM” section of our site. Funk Machine collects personal information
when you register with Funk Machine when you subscribe to Funk Machine’s
various services, when you visit Funk Machine’s pages or the pages of certain Funk
Machine partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. Funk Machine
may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from
business partners or other companies. We will not, without your consent, sell
our customer e-mail address list to third parties but may use our lists to
notify you of specials and products offered by others that we think you may
find worthwhile. We will endeavor to ensure that only authorized employees of Funk
Machine Inc. will have access to your personal information, and all employees
of Funk Machine Inc. have been required to read our security policies upon
their employment whether they are authorized to access your personal
information or not. We have implemented security systems that we believe
prevent most people from accessing your personal information through our site.
People who try and bypass security systems, or “Hackers”, are often very
skilled at breaking through security systems though and therefore we can make
no guarantee that your information is 100% safe.
If you have the settings on your browser set accordingly, we will use
“cookies” to track some of your information in order to customize our site for
you. “Cookies” are text files that we’ll place on the hard drive of your
computer in order to remember your password, preferences, etc. Allowing us to
place a “cookie” on your hard drive does not admit us to the remainder of your
computer and “cookies” have purportedly been designed by Microsoft so that Funk
Machine Inc. will be the only entity that can read the “cookie” we place on
your hard drive. You have the option to set your web browser to reject cookies
and if you do so some features of our site will not work and therefore some of
the personalized options will be eliminated. You should check the documentation
of your browser to learn how to disable "cookies."
It is important to note that the Funk Machine Inc. site contains links to
other sites, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Funk
Machine Inc. For instance, if you click on an
advertisement on the Funk Machine Inc. site, you may be taken away from Funk
Machine Inc. to an entirely different site. These links can also be from
advertisers, content providers and/or partners who may use Funk Machine Inc.’s
logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement yet they may still not
follow the same privacy policies as Funk Machine Inc.
Some promotions, contests and sweepstakes appearing on the Funk Machine Inc.
site may be sponsored or co-sponsored by other companies. These companies may
also choose to collect personal information from you. Funk Machine Inc. cannot
control the privacy policies of these outside sponsors, and if you do not want
your information collected by these sponsors, you should not participate in the
promotion, contest or sweepstakes.
For your own information and protection on the Funk Machine Inc. site and on
the Internet in general, keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose
personal information on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas, that
information can be collected and used by others. Similarly, if you post
personal information in public places, you may receive unsolicited e-mail
messages. Please think before you post any information online.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Funk Machine Inc.
reserves the right to disclose user information when required by law, or if we
have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with
our rights or property, or the rights and property of others.
By using this site, you signify your assent to Funk Machine Inc.’s privacy
policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our site. Funk
Machine Inc. reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this
privacy policy at any time simply by posting the changes on our site and you
agree that it is your responsibility to check this agreement periodically for
updates. Your continued use of the Funk Machine Inc. site following the posting
of changes to these terms (whether you have checked for changes or not) will
mean you accept those changes.
If you are unclear about any of the above stated policies or just have a
question for us, please contact us at privacy@funkmachine.com.
