Privacy Policy

The privacy of our visitors is important.
 

At Fangaroo.org, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit Fangaroo.org, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Log Files

As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We may use cookies in some cases. You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.

Advertisements

We also use third party advertisements on Fangaroo.org to help cover our hosting costs and to provide a rough estimate as to metrics pertaining to advertising on the Internet. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

Form Input

When you interact with the site to search for something or comment on a news article, the information you input may be stored in the application database. Data storage is limited to search terms (which are not tied to a user or IP) and name / email associated with a comment.

Embedded Applications

Third party applications (such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) which have been integrated into the site may be using your info for their own purposes. Third party data sources which represent the actual news content are being integrated via RSS feed, and syndicated content may include other code objects and interactive forms which may be tracking your information.

Data Retention

Ultimately, commerce on the internet is based on tracking you for marketing purposes, however Fangaroo.org collects and retains the bare minimum amount of data from our visitors as necessary to provide accurate service when interacting with the application.
