2. Scope
Featured has adopted this Privacy Policy to inform its customers and others about how it protects personally identifiable information and other information that may be collected when users visit the outdoornews.io web site.
This Privacy Policy covers Featured’s treatment of personal or personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that may be collected when you are on the outdoornews.io website, and when you use the services of outdoornews.io. The privacy of your nonpublic information is important to us. This includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address and any other personally identifiable information. We use safeguards to protect your privacy and confidentiality. This Policy Statement discusses information we collect and the manner in which it is used.
3. Information Collection
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience.
outdoornews.io is sensitive to the protection of customer identifiable information which an individual or another customer reasonably expects to be kept private. Customer identifiable information means information which can be associated with a specific entity or individual, including, by way of example, a customer’s name, e-mail address, and information about on-line activities which can be directly linked to him or her.
If you become a outdoornews.io Panelist member, we will create an account for you, at Featured.com, which will contain your name, e-mail, and other identifying information. This account will be used to attribute answers provided through the service and to send out periodic emails. If you answer a Question, we will retain that response.
Featured may also collect Personal Information from your usage of the outdoornews.io website. If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website and read the information contained on the Web pages, we may gather certain information about your visit automatically, such as your IP address, the date and time you access a given page, and the pages you visit. We use cookies to identify return users, so that they need not log in each time they arrive.
We use data collection devices such as “cookies” on certain pages of our websites. “Cookies” are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing customized services. We also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Cookies can also help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. We use this information to determine our members’ demographics, interest, and behavior to better understand and serve you and our community.
Please note that your personally identifiable information will be stored and processed on our computers in the United States. The laws regarding the handling of personal data in the United States may differ from the laws of other countries, but Featured will hold and transmit your information in a safe, confidential and secure environment.
4. Our Use of Your Information
We use information in the files we maintain about you, and the other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the websites to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms of Service. At times, we may review the data of multiple members to identify problems or resolve disputes. You agree that we may use personally identifiable information about you to analyze website usage, improve our content and service offerings, and customize our website’s content, layout, and service. These uses improve our websites and may better tailor them to meet your needs. You agree that we may use your information to contact you and to deliver information to you such as administrative notices, service offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the website. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information.
If you are a Panelist Member, we use your email address to send you our email listing of requests for answers and may also let you know of information relating to Featured or affiliates.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information
Featured will not sell or rent your Personal Information to any individual, business, or government entity.
Featured will share your Personal Information with other entities if Featured is required to respond to court orders, subpoenas, or other legal process. Featured may also use customer identifiable information to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activity that threatens outdoornews.io’s users or otherwise violates the Terms of Service agreement.
outdoornews.io’s servers automatically gather information about which pages are visited within the outdoornews.io site. Featured does not use that information except in the aggregate. This information helps us identify the type of website content or features our customers value most. We may use suppliers to assist us in collecting, using, or otherwise processing for our benefit the non- personal information obtained through the site.
We share much of our data, including personally identifiable information about you, with our partners that are committed to serving your online needs and related services, throughout the world. To the extent that these entities have access to your information, they will treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other members. Our partners will follow privacy practices no less protective of all members than our practices described in this document, to the extent alleged by applicable law. It is possible that Featured could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect that Featured would share some or all of your information in order to continue to provide the Service. You will receive notice of such an event (to the extent it occurs) and we will require that the new combined entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time.
6. Security
Featured uses industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information. Featured treats data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by others inside and outside the company. However, perfect security does not exist on the internet.
7. Access
