Privacy Policy

1. In General

FODEEN (“we” or “us”) values our users and respects their privacy. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) governs our collection and use of data in connection with the FODEEN Services (as such term is defined in our Terms of Service) or otherwise, as provided in the United States to United States Users. Terms capitalized but not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning ascribed to them in our Terms.

This Privacy Policy is applicable to all our customers, but has been focused on the laws within the United States. If you are outside the United States, please refrain from submitting Personal Information unless you are subject to our international privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy sets forth the nature, purpose, use and sharing of any Personal Information. “Personal Information” or “Personal Data” as used in this Privacy Policy, means information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate you, or to identify you in context. This includes your name, physical address, email address, telephone number, payment card information, account username, and other identifying information. It also includes other information that may be associated with your Personal Information, such as your location, IP address, preferences, or interests.

Importantly, we may collect Personal Information directly from you when you visit our Platform or access and use the FODEEN Services.

This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with websites or online services other than ours, or practices of third parties that we do not own or control, such as our partners, third party service providers featured on the FODEEN Services. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites or integrated products to which the FODEEN Services may link. You should review the privacy policies of such sites before using the associated sites.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you have a clear understanding of how we collect, use, otherwise handle and protect your Personal Information in connection with your use of the FODEEN Services. IF YOU HAVE OBJECTIONS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICES AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED IN THE SECTION ENTITLED “YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS.”

However, if at any time we make material changes to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you of those changes on the Platform or through the FODEEN Services and through the publishing of an updated Privacy Policy. If as the result of such changes you want to alter the ways in which we can use your Personal Information, you can do so by following the procedure described in the section entitled “Your Privacy Rights.”
