Fambam: Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY fambam Privacy Policy Last Updated and Effective Date: April 1, 20018 This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (the “Terms”) for the fambam social media platform, including the website located at app.honeycommb.com and the fambam iOS and Android mobile applications offered, hosted, or operated by Places App Inc. DBA Honeycommb, Honeycommb Media LLC, or their affiliates (“Honeycommb”), and domains and/or content associated with and/or contained in the foregoing (such website, applications, domains and content, collectively, the “fambam”). The terms “we” and “us” refer to Honeycommb. The Privacy Policy explains how we: collect, use, and disclose information we obtain through the fambam and information you give us (e.g., when you search, buy, post or participate in a contest or questionnaire on the fambam or communicate with customer service), but does not apply to our collection of information from other sources. Capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning set forth in this Privacy Policy or, if not defined herein, in the Terms. We generally keep this Privacy Policy posted on the fambam and you should review it frequently, as it may change from time to time without notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy. WHEN YOU ACCESS THE fambam, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, OR TO ANY CHANGES WE MAY SUBSEQUENTLY MAKE, THEN IMMEDIATELY STOP ACCESSING THE fambam. “Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual. By accessing and/or using the fambam, you authorize us to gather, parse, and retain data related to the provision of the fambam and collect, use and disclose information as described in this Privacy Policy. The fambam is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that children do not provide Personal Information through the fambam. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION The fambam collects Personal Information: when you register, during use, when you communicate with us or the fambam, and from other users. The fambam also collects information, such as anonymous usage statistics, by using cookies, server logs, and other similar technology as you use the fambam. Personal Information Collection You must register to use the fambam. To register, you may need to provide Personal Information, such as your e-mail address, a user name, birth date and password. You may also provide other optional information. Social Sign-On The fambam collects Personal Information from social media websites/services when you use that social media website or service credentials to log in. For example, when you log in with your Facebook credentials, fambam may collect the Personal Information you have made publicly available in Facebook, such as your name and profile picture. Using the fambam The fambam collects information from you and about you from other users through the fambam. For example, when you interact with other users or make purchases, the fambam collects provided information, including any Personal Information. In certain circumstances, we may request, allow or otherwise provide you with an opportunity to submit your Personal Information in connection with a feature, program, promotion or some other aspect of the fambam. For instance, you may: (a) provide your name, mail/shipping address, e-mail address, credit card number and phone number when registering with the fambam or in connection with a sweepstakes or contest entry or a purchase; (b) provide certain demographic information about you (e.g., age, gender, purchase preference, usage frequency, etc.) when participating in a survey or poll or joining a club or group; or (c) post a rating and recommendation on the fambam. Certain information may not be personally identifiable when standing alone (e.g., your age), but may become so when combined with other information (e.g., your age and name). Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in the particular activity, realize a benefit we may offer, or gain access to the fambam or certain content on the fambam. Making Payments When you make payments through the fambam, you may need to provide Personal Information to our third-party service providers, such as your name, billing address, and credit card number. Customer Support The fambam may collect Personal Information through your communications with the fambam or any of our customer-support team members. Location and Device Information from Your Mobile Device The fambam may collect and store your location and device information. Collection of this information may improve the provision of the fambam and provide you with access to customized offers. Cookies, Automatic Data Collection, and Related Technologies The fambam collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you use it, including your preferences and other Personal Information and anonymous usage statistics. When you use, visit or interact with the fambam, we and our third-party service providers, including analytic service providers, may use a variety of technologies, now known and hereafter devised, that automatically collect certain information. We and our third-party service providers receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, and from cookies and similar technology, for various purposes including system administration, reporting non-personal aggregate information to others, and tracking the use of the fambam. Cookies are small text files placed in a user’s computer browser to store the user’s preferences. Most browsers allow you to block, refuse to accept and/or delete cookies. However, if you do that, then the service may not work properly and/or some parts of the fambam will not function properly or be available to you. You can usually find out information about how to delete cookies on your browser through a “help” menu. Analytics Services We use third-party tools to collect and aggregate anonymous information about how users interact with the fambam by their use of cookies, web beacons (discussed below), and other technologies, and we use this aggregated information to adapt, modify and/or improve the fambam for the benefit of our users and partners. If you do not wish to have these tools collect anonymous information about your activities on the fambam, then you should not use the fambam. HOW WE USE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION We use Personal Information to: facilitate and improve the fambam, suggest other topics, groups, or sites that you may like, communicate with you, and for other purposes contemplated in this Privacy Policy. We may use information, including Personal Information and aggregate information, to operate the fambam, to communicate with you, and for other purposes. We may share any information collected about you on the fambam, including your Personal Information, with third party partners (for example, content planning and creation agencies, new features creation), and may use Personal Information to: facilitate and improve the fambam, plan and create content and features, suggest other topics, groups, or sites that you may like; and communicate with you, as well as users and our business partners. Internal and fambam-Related Usage We use information, including Personal Information, for internal and fambam-related purposes and may provide it to third parties. We may use and retain any data we collect to make and provide improvements. Communications We may send email to the email address you provide to us to verify your account and for informational and operational purposes, such as account management, customer fambam support, or system maintenance. We may also email or otherwise communicate with you in response to activity on the fambam, such as when someone comments on a post you made, follows you, or sends you a message. If you send us an email or message with questions or comments, then we may use your Personal Information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public Personal Information, such as passwords, social security numbers, or bank account information, to us by email. We may also send you an email or message if (a) you request a particular service or sign up for a feature that involves communications; (b) it relates to purchases you have made with us (e.g., product updates, customer support, etc.); (c) we are sending you information about our other products, services, giveaways, contest or sweepstakes; or (d) you consented to being contacted by email for a particular purpose. In certain instances, we may (at our discretion) provide you with the option to set your preferences for receiving email communications from us (that is, agree to some communications but not others). You may “opt-out” of receiving future commercial email communications from us as provided in “Opt-Out Information” below. Note, however, if you opt-out, then in some cases you may not receive notifications advising you that you have won a giveaway or prize, and thus would forfeit that giveaway or prize. Even if you opt-out, we reserve the right to send you transactional e-mails such as customer service communications. Non-Personal Information We use non-personal information in a variety of ways, including to help analyze site traffic, understand user needs and trends, carry out targeted promotional activities and to improve our services. We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others or other sources. We may share your non-personal information with our affiliated companies and third parties to achieve these objectives and others. We also reserve the right to use IP addresses to (a) identify a visitor when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the fambam rules; (b) fulfill a government request; (c) conform with the requirements of the law or legal process; (d) protect or defend our legal rights or property, the fambam, or other users; or (e) in an emergency to protect the health and safety of the fambam’s users or the general public. fambam usage information may be collected using various methods, such as the following: Cookies, etc. These text files make using the fambam more convenient by, among other things, saving your passwords and preferences for you. We may analyze the information derived from these cookies and other technological tools we employ (such as clear gifs/web beacons) and match this information with data provided by you or another party. We may provide our analysis and certain non-personal information to third parties (who may in turn use this information to provide advertisements tailored to your interests), but this will not involve disclosing any of your personally identifiable information. Please note that advertisers that serve advertisements on the fambam may also use their own cookies and other technological tools which are subject to the advertiser’s privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy. Web Beacons Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1x1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and e-mail messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including to count visitors to the fambam, to monitor how users navigate the fambam, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. Mobile Device Identifiers Certain mobile service providers uniquely identify mobile devices and we or our third-party service providers may receive such device information if you access the fambam through mobile devices. Certain features of the fambam may require collection of mobile phone numbers, and we may associate that phone number to mobile device identification information. Additionally, some mobile phone service providers operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices that use their service. Depending on the provider, we or our third-party service providers may receive this information. Embedded Scripts An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the fambam, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer from our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the fambam, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter. WE MAY DISCLOSE AND SHARE YOUR INFORMATION We may share your information: • with third-party service providers; • to comply with legal obligations; • to protect and defend our rights and property or the safety of other users; • with your permission; and as discussed in Section 2 above. We Use Vendors and Service Providers We may share any information we receive with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of the fambam.

The content you post to the fambam may be displayed in any location on the fambam, including, from time-to-time, as featured content. Other users and nonusers may be able to see some information about you, such as information or photos that you have posted in your profile or in comments or posts, or your location if you enable your computer or mobile device to send us location information.

We might also highlight your content, change it, incorporate it into other content, and/or post or use it in any medium (inside and outside of fambam). Social Networking and Other Websites The fambam allows you to share information, including Personal Information, with social networking websites/services, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. A third party site’s use of any information you disclose or authorize for sharing will be governed by the third party site’s privacy policies, and you may be able to modify your privacy settings on those third party sites. Marketing We do not rent, sell, or share your Personal Information with other people or nonaffiliated companies for their direct marketing purposes, unless we have your permission.
