We are keenly aware of the trust you place in us and we are committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information we collect. As part of this commitment, we let you know what information we collect when you use our websites products and services (the "Service"), why we collect it and how we use it to improve your experience.
KEY PRINCIPLES
We adhere to a few key principles when it comes to your privacy:
- We will tell you how and why we use certain data
- We offer users meaningful choices to protect their privacy
- We use information to provide our users with valuable products and service
- We are a responsible steward of the information we hold
We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this policy are defined in our Terms of Use. We expect that Users will use FunRewards for harmless and fun social purposes. Please note, though, that by its nature, your information is subject to abuse, misuse, and over-monitoring by others. Please manage your own mobile and profile privacy preferences on the Service, on an ongoing basis, accordingly.
USING THE FunRewards MOBILE SERVICE
In order to use the mobile features of the FunRewards Service, you must consent to: (a) the use of your phone's location to provide the Service to you and (b) pay carrier data, messaging, and other fees resulting from FunRewards usage. Data plans are required to use the mobile features of the FunRewards Service. Standard data and messaging charges, fees, and taxes from your carrier apply.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
1. User-provided information: You can either provide us information about yourself, such as your first name, last name, e-mail address, profile photos and password if you register for a Member account with the Service, or you can sign in through Facebook, which gives us access to information made available by Facebook. In order to use the Service we also ask you to share your gender, age and zip code. We need this information, because as part of FunRewards's Service we may send you gifts from (local) merchants and retailers that we think you may like.
When using the Service, you may also provide certain other personal information and content, such as locations you visit. When you scan a Flip Code at a participating business location, the Service will register that scan.
2. Recommendations. As part of FunRewards's platform you have the opportunity to write a recommendation about a business. These recommendations will be publicly displayed to other Users and on third-party sites and services in accordance with your privacy and opt-in settings.
3. Location Tracking. To provide the mobile features of the Service, we derive location information from your wireless carrier, certain third-party service providers, or directly from the mobile device that you used to register with FunRewards. This location tracking of your mobile device occurs only when the FunRewards mobile application is actively open and running.
4. Location Information: To provide the Service, we collect, use and store your personal data and the geographic location of your mobile device (we call this location fix of your mobile device "location information").
5. Flip Code Scanning Location. As a user of our Service you have the chance to scan Flip Codes at participating FunRewards businesses. FunRewards will store location and time of every scan.
6. Anonymous Information We Collect. In general, you can visit FunRewards on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Like most standard website servers, we use log files. Log files track Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. . This information is used to diagnose problems with our server, measure the number of visits and number of pages viewed, and register methods by which our site was found and methods used for viewing our site. We will use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, prevent fraud, track website navigation in the aggregate, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use, evaluate how you use our Web site and how we improve the content of the site.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the personal information you submit to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service.
We never share your personal information with advertisers, except for the business where you scanned their specific Flip Code (including the legal entity which manages the respective business on FunRewards's platform). Other businesses, merchants, advertisers or other third parties will only get access to anonymous data. If advertisers select demographic targeting for their ads, FunRewards automatically matches those ads to the appropriate audience. You may receive ads from these advertisers that we forward to you, but the advertisers only receive anonymous information and data reports.
Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose for posting through the Service (i.e., Recommendations) becomes available to the public. FunRewards is not responsible for the personal information that you choose to disclose publicly through the Service. If you remove information that you posted through the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service on third party sites, or if other Users have copied or saved that information.
By providing FunRewards your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features of the Service, or special offers.
FunRewards may use certain information about you and/or your User Content without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Service is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content. Third parties providing services to us may have access to your personal information but are required to maintain its confidentiality and use it only on our behalf.
We may also share your information with our service providers for the purpose of operating the Service and facilitating the services you request. This includes service providers we utilize for payment processing, mailing, email, technology support and other such services.
FunRewards reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor the User Content you post on the site. We reserve the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if in our sole opinion such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or our Terms of Use Agreement, or to protect or defend our rights or property or those of any third party. FunRewards also reserves the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.
FunRewards may make use of an Internet tool called "cookies" in order to provide you with tailored information and for identification purposes. A cookie is a small piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. We may in the future contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called clear gifts or Web bugs) or other advanced technologies that are useful in the provision of services to you. We may use such devices to verify compliance with our terms and conditions of use or with rules for any promotions on the site.
HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
1. Personally Identifiable Information: whenever you scan a Flip Code at a participating FunRewards business, that business (including the legal entity which manages the respective business on FunRewards's platform) will be able to see time of the transaction, your first name, initial of your last name, what you scanned for and any photo associated with your account. The Service will store your scan history for that business.
Businesses where you scan a FlipCode will be able to send you gifts (up to one per month maximum) unless you choose to opt out (under settings in the mobile application) to receive gifts from this location. These businesses can select to send you a gift based on your visit history, gender, age and your zip code.
We may selectively send you gifts from businesses where you have not been yet that we think you may like. These businesses can use age, gender, zip code and personally-identifiable location information (e.g. sort of restaurants you visit), for targeting. We will only share such information within these businesses on an anonymous basis until you have scanned a FlipCode at their business.
FunRewards does not share your personally identifiable information or personally-identifiable location information with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your express consent or unless you have opted-in to be part of a specific program or feature. We cannot control third parties' use of your information. If you do not want your information to be collected by or shared with such a third party, you can choose not to participate in such programs or features.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions and may be disclosed in negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution. In the cases discussed in this paragraph, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy policy.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, FunRewards will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of FunRewards, our Users or others.
2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information: We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain FunRewards services.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
FunRewards uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information.
