Privacy Policy:

Non US Visitors

Our privacy policy is intended to meet the laws and requirements of the United States.  If you are visiting from outside the United States any information you provide will be treated in accordance with the laws of the United States.

What Information is collected?

We maintain log files which contain IP addresses. An IP address is a numeric address that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. We do not link IP addresses to personal information. In general, we only use log files to monitor traffic on our Web sites and to troubleshoot technical problems. In the event of abuse, however, we may block certain IP addresses.

The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web page and not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.

Email Correspondence

We may respond to email sent directly to us or through a online submission form.  This information and emails would only be shared with a third party in connection with a court order, sale of the website(s) to a third party or to defend a legal claim. These emails would only rarely be used for one time correspondence with that user.  These e-mails are kept internally for our own day to day business purposes.

We do not maintain e-mail lists nor market via e-mail.

Special Notification with respect to Children's Privacy (Users under the age of 13)
In response to concerns about protecting children's privacy online, Congress enacted the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which sets forth rules and procedures governing the ways in which Web sites may collect, use and disclose any personal information for children under the age of 13. In accordance with our policy and COPPA regulations, we DO NOT:

1. Request or knowingly collect personally identifiable online or offline contact information from users under 13 years of age;
2. Knowingly use or share personal information from users under 13 years of age with third parties;
3. Give children the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information;
4. Entice children with the prospect of a special game, prize or other activity to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.

Parental Rights

Except on our Message Board (See Below) we DO NOT collect information from children under 13. We are required by COPPA to post  parental rights concerning removal of this information.

A Parent may

(1) confirm, correct or have deleted the child's personal information

(2) discontinue further use of the child's information and/or communication with the child; and/or

(3) revoke his or her earlier consent to collect and use the child's information.

 To do so, please contact us via email and we will review or update your child's information as appropriate. Please be sure to include in your email message the information you want changed or deleted.

Message Board & COPPA 

Our message board is set up to only accept registrations from ages 13 and up.  Any users under 13 who try to register are screened via a online age check that uses cookies.  Users under 13 who wish to register must submit a signed parental consent form to do so.  The parent will then decide what information to release on the parental form which may include address, phone number & email address.  We maintain this information on file for COPPA compliance and do not share this information with third parties.  

With proper identification parents can remove their under 13 child from participation in our message board (See Parental Rights above).

Log Files

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files.  This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.  

Sharing

Legal Disclaimer

We will disclose and transfer personal information in connection with a sale of assets of our company (including this Web site), a sale of the company or a merger.  Furthermore, although we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may disclose personal information when required by law or when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site. 

Third Party Advertising  

We use Gorilla Nation, DoubleClick and other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.  

Future Network USA does not provide any personal information to a advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad. Downloads or other content interacted with from third party advertisers is subject to the advertiser's privacy policies, not this one. 

Future Network USA lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Future Network USA's cookies.

Third Party Cookies & IP Addresses

In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party ad server, Gorilla Nation, Double Click or their affiliates, or individual advertisers may place or recognize a unique “cookie” on your browser.  

Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).  However, we have no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.  

Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some areas will not function properly if you do so. There are many sources for additional information about Internet cookies, and we encourage anyone concerned about the use of cookies to do more research on the topic so you can make an informed decision about accepting them from any site. As technology advances and cookies provide more functionality, we expect to utilize them in different ways.

IP Address. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We will use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our site. Your IP address also may be used to gather broad demographic information. The IP address is not tied to any personally identifiable information

Links to Other Sites

Links to other sites are operated independently and out of our control.  We recommend you not share personal information on other sites unless you view their privacy policy.

Revisions to Privacy Policy

In the future, we may update and revise our privacy policy. We will provide conspicuous notice on our website if we decide to change our privacy policy.  At that time, you will have the opportunity to decide whether or not you would like us to apply the new privacy policy to your personal information or to opt out of the new policy. If you continue to use the site, you will be accepting the new policies. If you decide to opt out of the new policy, you will no longer be able to participate as a user.
