F&B Social operates several websites and services, including fnb.social. It is F&B Social’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, F&B Social 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. F&B Social’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how F&B Social’s visitors use its websites. From time to time, F&B Social may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

F&B Social also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on its blogs.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to F&B Social’s websites choose to interact with F&B Social in ways that require F&B Social to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that F&B Social gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, to create an account we’ll ask you to provide your name and email address, details about your business, such as your website address. Those who engage in transactions with F&B Social – by purchasing access to the F&B Social services, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, F&B Social collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with F&B Social. F&B Social 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, like getting a free trial or signing up for our service.

Aggregated Statistics

F&B Social may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. However, F&B Social does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

F&B Social 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 F&B Social’s behalf or to provide services available at F&B Social’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 F&B Social’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. F&B Social 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, F&B Social discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when F&B Social believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of F&B Social, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a F&B Social website and have supplied your email address, F&B Social may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new services, features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with F&B Social and our products. 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. F&B Social takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

If F&B Social, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that F&B Social goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of F&B Social may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
