Safeguarding your privacy is serious business. Please take a minute to read our policy so that you can understand how we treat your personal information. As we update and expand our services, this policy might change, so please review it periodically. If you have questions about our privacy policy, please email us at info@flopalongs.com. If you sign up to be a flopalongs.com member or use any of flopalongs.com services, you agree to these terms.
Personally identifying information, or personal information, includes your name, home or other address, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other information that tells another person who you are. When you register as a flopalongs.com member, we ask for some personal information such as your e-mail address, birthday, physical address, phone number(s), and interests. This allows us to send you rewards from time to time. We also may collect personal information when you contribute an article, video, or other feature for flopalongs.com. This allows us to credit you by name.
The above privacy statements constitute our policy regarding personal information. Except as noted above, flopalongs.com will not disclose, sell or rent any of the registration information you provide without giving you notice and an opportunity to refuse disclosure. We make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy wherever we ask you for personal information. We also collect information about member e-mail usage. This allows us to prevent misuse of our e-mail services.
You should be aware that some companies that advertise on our site and or have links on our site may place cookies on your computer when you click on these links and advertisements. They may also use these cookies to develop profiles about you. The Privacy Policy of flopalongs.com does not address the information practices of those Web sites or advertisers.
Please Note: Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on message boards, in e-mails, or in chat areas, that information can be collected and used by others. If you post personal information in public places, others may send you unsolicited e-mail messages. Always be cautious about the information you provide online.
In our effort to provide services customized to your interests, we use cookies to keep and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to: access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver better and more personalized services, estimate our audience size for our advertisers, and identify which areas of our site you have visited.
You should also be aware that companies that advertise on our site may use their own cookies. This Privacy Policy does not cover how these companies use their cookies.
Our primary goal in gathering your personal information is to provide you with a personalized experience and send you prizes as you qualify. Currently we do not customize the content you see based on any information you have provided, but we eventually intend to do so. Essentially, we will compare your profile with other member profiles, and based on their interests, we will make predictions about your interests. Based on these predictions, you may see specialized content, including advertising banners. Advertisers will never have direct access to any of your personal identification information.
If you are a member, we will send you e-mail notices about products, companies, and events that we think might interest you. If you do not want to receive these messages, simply tell us that when you give us your personal information. Or, you can easily edit your flopalongs.com profile to indicate that you no longer want to receive these messages. After you log in, just click on "My Account". This will direct you to pages where you can review and modify your membership information and profile.
If you are a customer and choose not to become a member, we only collect personal information that is essential to fulfilling your order and notifying you of your order status. Additionally, you will automatically be added to our periodic shop email newsletter and catalog mailing lists. If you want us to remove you from these lists, you have two ways to do this: 1.) When you receive your first email newsletter, you can opt-out of future mailings from us by following the opt-out instructions in the newsletter (this is to opt out of the email newsletter only). 2.) You can contact us at info@flopalongs.com. Your message should state that you do not want to receive any emails or any catalogs from flopalongs.com
We also may match information obtained from cookies with data provided by you. This allows us to analyze this data both in the aggregate and in connection with individual users. This information lets us tailor our services to your interests. We also provide the analysis of our users (as a group) to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties. We do this so that our advertisers and us understand your needs and interests better, which allows us keep bringing you cool stuff free of charge.
Finally, we may disclose user information when we are required to by law, or when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other flopalongs.com users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
