FundaGeek.com Privacy Policy

This privacy policy was last modified on October 3, 2011.

General Provisions

We respect your right to privacy.

We will not give your name or personal information to third parties. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

PayPal processes all of the financial transactions on FundaGeek. No one sees your credit card information besides PayPal; no one here at FundaGeek is able to see it.

By consenting to this Policy, you confirm that your command and knowledge of English is sufficient to understand the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Contacting You by Email

We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. We will send you email relating to your personal transactions as a Backer or Project Owner. We will keep these emails to a minimum.

We may send you service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so.

Project Owners receive the email addresses of their backers if, and only if, the project is successfully funded. They need to be able to follow up on delivery of rewards.

Information we collect

FundaGeek uses cookies to help (anonymously) recognize you as a repeat visitor and to track traffic patterns on our site. We use this information to make FundaGeek more user-friendly.

Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you register with or view our site, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

We use the personal information you submit to operate, maintain, provide and improve our services for you.

Security

We use a variety of security measures, including encryption and authentication tools, to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information. Your personal information is stored behind firewalls and is only accessible by a limited number of people who are required to keep the information confidential.

When you enter pledges we use a secure server. To the extent you select the secure server method and your browser supports such functionality, all credit card information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

Regardless of these efforts by us, no data transmission over the public Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose in public areas becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by other users. You should exercise caution before disclosing your personal information via these public venues.

Project Owners

By agreeing to our Terms & Conditions, FundaGeek Project Owners agree to not abuse other users' personal information. Abuse is defined as using personal information for any purpose other than those explicitly specified in the Project Owner’s Project, or is not related to fulfilling delivery of a reward explicitly specified in the Project Owner’s Project.

FundaGeek Project Owners never receive users' credit card information.

Links to Other Web Sites

We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including those that have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

Geek Lounge Forums

Please note that all information you post will be available to the Internet's general public while you participate in the Geek Lounge forums, so you should exercise discretion when accessing them. Personal information disclosed by you within the Geek Lounge forums, can be collected by other forum members and may result in unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for protecting such information that you may disclose to third parties through the Geek Lounge forums (e.g. sending your telephone number to another forum member).

Miscellaneous

FundaGeek reserves the right to update this privacy policy at anytime. Updates to our privacy policy will be sent to the email address that you have provided us or posted prominently on the website.

FundaGeek reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor the User Content you post on the site. FundaGeek has the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation, if in its sole opinion, such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or our Terms & Conditions agreement or to protect or defend its rights or property or those of any third party. FundaGeek also reserves the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law).

To modify or delete any or all of the personal information you have provided to us, please log in and update your profile.

People under 18 are not permitted to use FundaGeek on their own, and so this privacy policy makes no provision for their use of the site.
