Privacy Policy Updated January 8, 2011
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Finish Your Breakfast we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Finish Your Breakfast, LLC. (“Finish Your Breakfast”) operates several websites including fybllc.com, and pupshot.com. It is Finish Your Breakfast’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Finish Your Breakfast collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Finish Your Breakfast’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Finish Your Breakfast’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Finish Your Breakfast may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Finish Your Breakfast also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. Finish Your Breakfast only discloses logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Finish Your Breakfast’s websites choose to interact with Finish Your Breakfast in ways that require Finish Your Breakfast to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Finish Your Breakfast gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at Pupshot.com to provide a username and email address. Finish Your Breakfast collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Finish Your Breakfast. Finish Your Breakfast does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Finish Your Breakfast may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Finish Your Breakfast may monitor the most popular photos on the Pupshot.com site. Finish Your Breakfast may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Finish Your Breakfast does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Finish Your Breakfast discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Finish Your Breakfast’s behalf or to provide services available at Finish Your Breakfast’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Finish Your Breakfast’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Finish Your Breakfast will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Finish Your Breakfast discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena or court order, or when Finish Your Breakfast believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Finish Your Breakfast, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Finish Your Breakfast website and have supplied your email address, Finish Your Breakfast may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Finish Your Breakfast and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs and Twitter accounts to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Finish Your Breakfast takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
