Users of the FeedOtter Site who simply browse the FeedOtter Site (“Guests”) may be able to view products and information, request information and engage in certain services on the FeedOtter Site. Users of the FeedOtter Site who enter into a separate User Agreement with FeedOtter (“Clients”) may be able to engage in certain other services on or through the FeedOtter Site. Guests and Clients are collectively referred to herein as “Users”.

Overview

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of FeedOtter’s Terms of Use, which can be viewed on the FeedOtter Site.  This Privacy Policy covers FeedOtter’s treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and other non-personally identifiable information that FeedOtter gather when a User accesses the FeedOtter Site and when a User or Client registers to receive services from FeedOtter (the “Services”). By visiting the FeedOtter Site or using the Services, each User expressly acknowledges that such User accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy and consents to FeedOtter’s use and disclosure of such User’s Personal Information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. If a User does not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, such User should not use the FeedOtter Site or the Services. If a User has any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, such User may contact us at support (at) FeedOtter.com.

Information FeedOtter Collects

If a User chooses to use the FeedOtter Site or the Services, FeedOtter may require such User to provide contact and identity information, billing information, and other Personal Information as indicated on the FeedOtter Site. Once a User registers on the FeedOtter Site, such User is no longer anonymous to us. The information that we gather from a User through the FeedOtter Site enables FeedOtter to provide, maintain and improve the FeedOtter Site and the Services, personalize User’s experience on the FeedOtter Site, process User’s requests, and process the requests of others, and includes the following information:

  2. Resolve disputes, calculate and collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;

iii.             Verify User’s identity and the information users provide;

  1. Encourage a safe online experience and enforce our policies;
  2. Customize users’ experience, analyze usage of the FeedOtter Site, improve and measure interest in our Services, and inform users about Services, products and updates;

During the course of operating FeedOtter’s business, FeedOtter may use Users’ Personal Information to deliver information to Users that may be targeted to Users’ interests. Upon receipt of the first communication of this type, a User will have the opportunity to opt-out of future communications by clicking on unsubscribe link or by following unsubscribe instructions described within the communication. If a User does not want to receive email or other communications from FeedOtter, such User can also contact FeedOtter at support (at) FeedOtter.com. However, as part of a Client’s registration for the Services, such Client may receive certain communications from FeedOtter, such as administrative announcements and customer service messages regarding the Services and products, and Client will not be able to opt out of receiving such communications.

From time to time, FeedOtter may implement solutions designed to more efficiently capture a User’s communications preferences. In any such event, FeedOtter will attempt to reflect any previously stated communicated preferences within such solutions.

FeedOtter does not sell or rent for commercial gain Users’ Personal Information to third parties for their marketing purposes without a User’s consent. FeedOtter may share and Users hereby consent to our sharing of personal information with the following persons or entities:

  1.   Corporate affiliates of FeedOtter to help coordinate the Services or products we provide to Users, enforce our Terms of Use and other agreements, including the User Agreement with Client (if any), and to promote trust and safety.
  2. Service providers and others who help with our business operations and assist in the delivery of the Services and other products to our Users.  Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: maintaining servers, sending email, removing repetitive information from user lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments, reviewing content and providing customer service. Unless we tell Users differently, such service providers and other companies and people do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.

iii.               Third parties if we believe that disclosure is advisable or necessary to comply with the law, to enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of FeedOtter, our employees, our Users or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

  1. Entities who acquire FeedOtter or its assets. In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, User information, including Users’ Personal Information, is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. Moreover, if FeedOtter, all or its assets or the FeedOtter Site are acquired, or in the unlikely event that FeedOtter goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, User information, including Users’ Personal Information, would be one of the assets that is transferred to or acquired by a third party. Users acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of FeedOtter, its assets or the FeedOtter Site may continue to use Users’ Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
  2.           Persons or entities with whom a User consents to have User’s Personal Information shared. For instance, when a User requests information, Services or products from FeedOtter or a third party through FeedOtter, or when a User posts information to the FeedOtter Site, a User provides its consent for FeedOtter to share that information with others. Please note that whenever a User posts information on or through the FeedOtter Site, such User is expressly consenting and granting their consent for FeedOtter to share that information with third parties.
  3. Other users of the FeedOtter Site. Some information about a User, such User’s account on the FeedOtter Site, such User’s account activity and, if applicable, a Client’s Store will be provided to or otherwise accessible by other Users of the FeedOtter Site. This may include the date a User last logged into User’s account, pages that a User has visited, User’s location, User’s preferences and other information that a User chooses to make public. User’s user name, but not a User’s email address, may be displayed to other users of the FeedOtter Site when a User engages in certain activities or indicate certain preferences on the FeedOtter Site.
