FL NEWSLETTER’S USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGY

We use cookies and other data collection technology to recognize users and other individuals and/or their devices when they use the Sites.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your computer's hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie also may contain information about your computer or device, such as settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the Sites.

FL Newsletter also uses “pixels” (sometimes called web beacons). Pixels are transparent images that can collect information about website usage across websites and over time.

Cookies that FL Newsletter sets in the Sites are called first-party cookies. Cookies set in the Sites by any other party are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the Sites, such as analytics and marketing automation. The parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your device both when you use it to access the Sites and also when you use it to visit certain other websites. To learn more about cookies generally, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. 

Why does FL Newsletter use cookies and other tracking technology?

Some cookies are required for the Sites to operate. Other cookies enable us to enhance the experience of the Sites.

The types of cookies served on through the Sites and why they are used is as follows:

• Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Sites to operate.
• Performance or Site Analytics cookies collect information about how the Sites are used so we can analyze and improve the Sites. Performance or analytics cookies typically remain on your computer after you close your browser until you delete them.
• Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you by helping us display advertisements that are based on your inferred interests, prevent the same ad from appearing too often, and ensure that ads are properly displayed for advertisers.

Pixels and similar data collection technology enable FL Newsletter to monitor traffic patterns from one webpage to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether users visit the Sites after seeing our online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve performance of the Sites and to measure the success of our email marketing campaigns.

FL Newsletter may use information about interactions with the Sites for digital marketing purposes.  FL Newsletter and third parties also may deploy technology that measures the effectiveness of advertisements by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about use of the Sites and other websites to provide relevant advertisements on other websites about goods and services that may interest you. 

The following is a list of our partners who collect the information described above. Please follow the links to find out more information about the partner’s privacy practices.

Cookie Choices

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is set using the settings menu in your browser or mobile device. (Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them but note that some features of the Sites may not work properly without cookies.) If you exercise these options, please be aware that you may still see advertising, but it will not be personalized. Nor will exercising these options prevent other companies from displaying personalized ads to you. If you delete your cookies, you may also delete your opt-out preferences. Instructions on opting out of Google Analytics using a specific plug-in is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Note that this opt-out is specific to Google activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that we may use. Additionally, you may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out here.

Do Not Track: Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser blocks that website from collecting certain information from the browser cache. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many Sites, including those controlled by FL Newsletter, do not yet respond to DNT signals.

HOW DOES FL NEWSLETTER PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

FL Newsletter uses reasonable technical, physical, and administrative safeguards intended to protect the personal information in our control. Our safeguards are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing personal information and include (as applicable) measures to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and a procedure for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing of personal information.

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials. FL Newsletter will treat access to the Sites through a user’s account credentials as authorized by the user.

FL Newsletter may suspend access to all or part of the Sites without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security. If you believe that information you provided to FL Newsletter or your account is no longer secure, please notify us immediately at support@fantasylife.com.

If we become aware of a breach that affects the security of your personal information, we will provide you with notice as required by applicable law. When permitted by applicable law, FL Newsletter will provide this notice to you through the email address associated with your account.

UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION AND THE SERVICES – INCLUDING SCRAPING – IS PROHIBITED AND MAY LEAD TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

We retain personal information about users for as long as a user’s account is active and otherwise as long as necessary for the purposes described above. We also retain personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. 

FL Newsletter regularly updates the information in the Sites and removes information when FL Newsletter becomes aware the information is obsolete or inaccurate.  Otherwise, we retain the personal information that we handle subject to this Privacy Policy. 

Once we anonymize personal information, it is no longer subject to this Privacy Policy.

DISCLAIMER REGARDING CHAT FEATURES

Our Sites may also have third-party chat features for support purposes. These features may collect the content of your communications and other personal information you provide while interacting with the chat feature. Please discontinue use of the Sites if you do not consent to the collection of such information by us and third parties.

DISCLAIMER REGARDING VIDEO CONTENT

The Sites may contain video content, audiovisual content, or content of a like nature (collectively, “Video Content”). In connection with our provision of Video Content, the Sites may utilize online tracking technologies and code-based tools, including, but not limited to, Software Development Kits (“SDKs”) and cookies (i.e., advertising or analytics cookies) that track information about your activity and webpage-viewing history on the Sites (collectively, “Tracking Tools”). Tracking Tools on the Sites may result in information about your activity on the Sites being transmitted from your browser to FL Newsletter and third parties, which, in turn, may result in the display of targeted advertisements on third-party websites and platforms, including advertisements for FL Newsletter content. In addition, whether Tracking Tools on the Sites results in your browser’s transmission of information to third parties depends on a number of factors that may be outside of FL Newsletter’s knowledge or control, including what third-party websites you use, what information you have provided to such third parties, and whether (and the extent to which) you have limited the use of cookies by the operators of those third-party websites.

DOES FL NEWSLETTER TRANSFER PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER COUNTRIES?

The Sites are hosted in the United States. In order to communicate with you about content, the information that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored, used, and processed by us in the United States or one of our service providers based in the United States or outside of the United States. Such entities may be engaged in, among other things: (i) assisting us in providing the Sites to you, and (ii) the provision of support services.

If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing information collection and use that may differ from United States law, please note that you are transferring your personal information to the United States. The laws of some countries may not provide the same levels of protection of personal information as your home country, particularly if you are a resident in the European Union. By using the Sites, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage, use and processing of information about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. When you provide personal information to us or our service providers or vendors, you consent to the processing of your information in the United States as the Sites are operated in the United States. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that information about you is treated securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and that all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our service providers.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES TREAT YOUR INFORMATION IN A MANNER THAT MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM, AND LESS PROTECTIVE THAN, THE TREATMENT REQUIRED UNDER THE LAWS OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND JURISDICTIONS.
