Privacy Policy of Funfio Independent Media

Funfio is committed to protecting your privacy. We have developed this Privacy Policy to explain our practices in processing your information when you visit our websites or use the services provided by us. We take personal privacy into consideration from the start throughout the process of designing, developing, and delivering our products and services.

By visiting this website you agree to abide by this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. If you provide any Personal Details on another of our websites, you will be covered by the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions found on those sites.

What information do we collect from you?

We may collect data from you including your name, e-mail address, website address, any other Data that helps us to provide you with a more personal and relevant experience.

If you provide us with your Data, it will help us to deliver to you the news, products or services, which you have requested. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may stop you from gaining access to a service or limit the features that you can use on our websites. We will collect your contact information and we will note your interests so as to provide you with a better service and enrich your experience when you visit our websites.

How does Funfio collect your information?

We collect Data from you when you submit comments on our websites or when you choose to use the various services we provide.  We also collect other types of Data which may be considered personal that you provide to us voluntarily when, for instance, you make a purchase or respond to surveys and questionnaires, competitions, forums, social networking activities, or other offers.

How will Funfio use your information?

We will use your information for the following purposes:

  • to provide you with the products and services you have requested and to communicate with you about those products and services;
  • to deliver the daily operation of the content, services, and products provided to you;
  • to design services or products for customers’ use;
  • to invite you to share your opinions and comments;
  • to conduct a survey and/or market research.

we may also be required to disclose your Data to authorities who can request this information by law that is binding on Funfio, for instance, for the prevention and detection of crime, the capture or prosecution of offenders, and the assessment or collection of tax or duty purposes relating to the above.

Do we share your information with other companies?

We may share your Data with our third-party suppliers who need to process your data in order to fulfill your request, such as to charge your credit card (if authorized by you), fill your order, and deliver electronic newsletters and promotional messages. But they are required, under a contract with severe penalties, not to use your Data other than to provide the services we request of them.  Before we select our processing suppliers, they must satisfy us that they match our stringent processes to ensure the security of your data, whilst it is in their care. We regularly monitor them to ensure consistency of service and security.

How do we keep your Data safe?

Wherever your Data is processed, Funfio will take the utmost care in keeping your data secure. We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your Data from unauthorized access or disclosure. We store data behind a firewall, which is a barrier designed to prevent outsiders from accessing our servers. Even though Funfio takes significant steps to ensure that your data is not intercepted, accessed, used, or disclosed by unauthorized persons, you should know that we cannot eliminate security risks entirely particularly where the internet is concerned. Rest assured, we take particular care with regard to the protection of your Data.

How long do we keep your data?

Your Data will only be retained by Funfio for as long as is legitimately necessary for the continuation of our offering to you, or as prescribed by appropriate legislation.

Social media

Social plugins are buttons, boxes, and stories (such as the Like button) that websites can use to present relevant content to you and create more social and personal experiences for you. While you view these buttons, boxes, and stories on other sites, the content comes directly from the social plugin owner.

We work with trusted third parties, social networks, and application developers who specialize in social media so we can connect to your social networks. These companies operate third-party websites. We provide third parties and business partners with access to our sites so that we can generate interest in our products and services among members of your social networks. This also allows you to share products and services with friends on your social networks.

We cannot control how your data is collected, stored, used, or shared by third-party social media websites or to whom the data is disclosed. Please be sure to review their Privacy Policies, Cookie Policies, and Terms and Conditions to make sure you understand the information they are sharing. If you have questions you should contact that website to check your privacy settings and the rules that govern your ability to opt-out. Funfio is not responsible for how these third parties may use information collected from or about you.

Other websites

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy or on this website, only Funfio collects data on this website.  When you click on any links to external websites you will be leaving this site and you will go to another site where you are bound by their Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.  This Privacy Policy, consequently, no longer applies.
