FamCom's Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy. This privacy policy describes
FamCom's current policies and practices with regard to personal data collected by
FamCom through its website, famcomonline.com and famcominc.com (hereinafter referred to collectively as "FamCom's websites"). This privacy policy is independent from
FamCom's offline personal data collection practices. The term "personal data" refers to personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, birth date, e-mail address or mailing address, and any other information that is identified with you personally.
Notification of Changes to This Policy
FamCom is continually improving and adding new functionality and features to its websites and improving and adding to our existing products and services. Because of these ongoing changes, changes in the law, and the changing nature of technology, FamCom's data practices will change from time to time. If and when our data practices change, FamCom will post the changes on our websites to notify you of the changes. We encourage you to check this page frequently. This policy was last updated on November 1, 2006.
Personal Data Collected Through famcomonline.com
Other than cookies, as described below, the only personal data FamCom currently collects through its websites is the information you voluntarily give us when you use our sites. For example, you may use this site to contact FamCom with questions and comments. When you fill out a form on our websites, you may provide your name and other contact information, including your company's name, your e-mail address, and your mailing address or the mailing address of your company or other personal information. If you do not wish to fill out all of the information on the form you are not required to do so. Most of our registration forms require only your name and e-mail address. When you submit information to us through famcomonline.com or famcominc.com, you will be directed to a confirmation page. When you use our websites to search for information on products or services, you are not providing us with any personal information. We offer the search features as a service to you. FamCom does not collect or retain any identifying information about you when you use the search features.
Use of Personal Data Collected Through famcomonline.com
FamCom uses the personal data information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. FamCom also uses this information to help us improve the content and functionality of our websites, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services. FamCom may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about products or services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to "opt-out" of receiving future communications. Similarly, we may provide "subscription" e-mail services which enable you to receive current news about FamCom products or services. For all such services, we will provide an opportunity to "opt-out" of, or cancel, the subscription.
Anonymous Data Collected Through famcomonline.com
In addition to the information you provide when you use our websites, FamCom uses technology to collect anonymous information about the use of our websites. For example, we use technology to track how many visitors access our websites, the date and time of their visit, the length of their stay, and which pages they view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use and the address from which they accessed our sites (for example, if they connected to a FamCom website by clicking on one of our banner ads). This technology does not identify you personally. It simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our sites. FamCom uses this anonymous data to improve the content and functionality of our websites, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services.
Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer and they cannot be used to discover the identity of a user. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not and whether you are required to accept the cookie to view certain content. FamCom may use cookies to "persist" a user session — that is, to maintain connection with a user as he or she moves through an application or series of web pages. The purpose of cookies in this context is to remember user inputs. For example, a "shopping cart" application records purchases up until the user reaches checkout. Personalization features also use cookies to identify groups of users and deliver appropriate content and services.

These hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of these third-party websites or any association with their operators.
