Data Collection
Funnel search, and some other services do not require any personally
identifying information. Funnel collects limited non-personally
identifying information your browser makes available whenever you
visit a website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol
address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your
query and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
We use this information to operate, develop and improve our services.
Some of our services require you to register for an account. Funnel
asks you for some personal information in order to create an account
(typically your name, email address and a password for your account)
and we will use that information to provide the service. For certain
services, such as our advertising programs, we may request credit
card or other payment information which we maintain in encrypted
form on secure servers. When we require personally identifying information,
we will inform you about the types of information we collect and
how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision
about sharing your personal information with us.
Cookies
For account management purposes and like most sites, Enhance Interactive
uses cookies. Cookies are data files stored on your computer that
identify you as a unique user. Cookies enable us to track user trends,
preferences and patterns to better understand our user base and
to improve the quality of our service. Most browsers permit users
to refuse cookies or to be notified before a cookie is accepted.
You can visit our site without using cookies.
Information Sharing
As a general rule, Funnel will not disclose any of your
personally identifiable information except when we have your permission
or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good
faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described
further. Traffic: Web
servers serving Funnel automatically collect information about which
pages each user visits and the domain name of visitors. This information
is used for internal review, to tailor information to individual
visitors and for traffic audits. We also provide this information
(as well as information from third-party market researchers) about
our users on an aggregated, anonymous basis to our advertisers.
Any personally identifiable information provided by subscribers
online as part of an online advertising promotion, or in order to
access a third party service, may be provided directly to the advertiser
or third party concerned. Promotions:
Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information
from sponsors. When you request more information about a particular
promotion, your e-mail address may be shared with the sponsor of
that promotion.Third parties: Online merchants
providing services in association with Funnel have separate privacy
and data collection practices. Funnel has no responsibility or liability
for these independent policies. For more information regarding the
merchant, their store, and their privacy policies, return to that
store's home page and click on the appropriate link. Legal:
Funnel may also disclose user information in special cases when
we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may
be violating our policies or may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Funnel's rights
or property, other Funnel users, or anyone else that could be harmed
by such activities. Statistics and advertisements:
Funnel may perform statistical analysis of user behaviour in order
to measure interest in the various areas of our site (for product
development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers
have seen or "clicked" their advertising banners. Funnel
also uses demographic information to allow advertising banners on
our Web site to be targeted, in aggregate, to the readers for whom
they are most pertinent. This means that readers see advertising
that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their
messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving
both the viewer's experience and the effectiveness of the ads. In
this statistical analysis and banner advertisement targeting, we
will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form.
Updating Information
We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your
personally identifying information for many of our services.
Links to Other Sites
The sites displayed as search results or linked to by Funnel's services
are developed by people over whom Funnel exercises no control. These
sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit
personal information. Since we do not control these sites; we are
not responsible or liable for the privacy practices or content of
such sites. Funnel may present links in a format that enables us
to understand whether they have been followed. We use this information
to understand and improve the quality of Funnel's search technology.
For instance, this data helps us determine how often users are satisfied
with the first result of a query and how often they proceed to later
results.
Consent and Changes to this Privacy Statement
By using our site, you consent to the collection and use of your
information as we have outlined in this privacy statement and to
our Terms of Service. Funnel may decide to change this privacy statement
from time to time. When we do, we will post the changes on this
page so that you are always aware of the information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
