FUNEHUMOR PRIVACY POLICY

Thank you for visiting FunEHumor.com. Your privacy is important to us, and we want you to know just how much we're striving to protect it, so we are providing this notice to explain our online information practices and the choices we make about the way in which your information is collected and used at this web site.  We do not believe in using legal or technical "mumbo jumbo," so we'll make this as straight forward and easy to understand as possible.

WHAT WE COLLECT

At times, FunEHumor.com or it's site administrator may ask you for personal information.  It may be as simple as an email address, or we may ask for your name or some other piece of personal information, so we can verify that it's really you at a later date, and not somebody trying to impersonate you.  If you choose to sign up for our mailing list, to keep informed of when we make changes or add new content to the site, obviously an email address is necessary.  We also run statistical software that logs all incoming IP addresses, domains, hosts, providers, referring sites and outbound sites, what browser you are using, what operating system you are using, and all of your personal credit card numbers.   Just kidding about the credit card numbers!  Also, if you send us anything (for example, an email) that contains humorous material for the site, nice comments about the site or a good idea for the site, and we use your material or comments, we will, by default, give you the proper credit by using your name as listed in whatever you sent us.   If you do not want your name mentioned, that's fine too, but we're not mind-readers... you need to speak up.  We will *never* publish your complete email address, your snail-mail address or your web site address without your expressed, written permission, so wipe the sweat from your brow and put that fear to rest right here.

WHY WE COLLECT IT

Quite simply, we like to know who we're appealing to.  It helps us figure out how to make the site better for everyone.   In the case of our web site mailing list, having your email address is the easiest way to keep you up-to-date on the new site content.  In regards to your IP addresses, browser, operating system, and the rest of that stuff mentioned above, it simply helps us figure out how we should design our pages to look, based on the overall makeup of how it will be seen.  For example, if 74% of the people who show up at our web site used Netscape versus Internet Explorer, instead of the other way around, our pages would be made to look better in Netscape.  Incidentally, this section is what we're going to point you towards if you bother us with an email that says, "Why do your pages look like dog poop in Netscape?"

HOW WE MAY USE IT

Typically, if you have provided us with personal information, we will only use it to contact you.  We may use it to ask you for your opinion on something regarding the site, or we may want to know if you can help us out in some other way; it might be to participate in a site questionnaire, a survey or a contest.  But it will generally be used for our own purposes, to help us better analyze who are fans are.  On the other hand, we do believe in abiding by all local, state and government laws, rules and regulations, and we have a strong belief in remaining out of jail & court as much as humanly possible.  So, if a law enforcement agency of any type provides us with a request for information of any type... well, the odds are good that we'll give them whatever they ask for.  If a court order or subpoena shows up in front of us, we're handing you over to the authorities without thinking twice.

WHO MAY ACCESS IT

The personally identifiable information that you provide to us or that we collect through the use of statistical software may be accessed by anyone working directly with FunEHumor.com.  Employees of FunEHumor have access to your information, and therefore, will all be required to protect this information in a matter that is consistent with this notice, which is subject to change at any time.  (It's not likely that it will very often, but it could.)   Although we take very appropriate measures to safegaurd against unauthorized disclosures of information, we obviously cannot assure you 100% that your personally indentifiable information will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this notice.  What does that all mean?  It means viruses and hackers are forever out there.  We do our best to keep them from accessing our computers, and we've been very successful so far, but we cannot make any promises on that front.  Sorry!  If it comes to reality that somebody who is not authorized to access your information happens to obtain it, and we have a way of finding out who that person or parties is, we will do everything in our power to prosecute them in an appropriate arena for their actions.

WHO *ELSE* MAY ACCESS IT

Some areas of our site may contain links to other web sites whose practices and policies may be much different than our own.   These might include other sites that we link to or advertising companies who have access to place ads, cookies, and the like on our pages for advertising or promotional purposes.  One such example would be Commission Juntion (cj.com) who we have an account with to place third party advertisements on our website. We recommend that all visitors to FunEHumor.com review the policies and procedures of those other sites before contacting us about your information being obtained in a manner not consistent with FunEHumor's policies and procedues as described in this document.  We at FunEHumor.com will not knowingly participate in any activities relating to the sharing of your personal information, but we cannot be held responsible for, or have control over, information that is submitted to or collected by other third parties, advertisers or sponsors.

COOKIES

To enhance your experience on our site, we may at times use 'cookies.'  'Cookies' are text files that are placed in your computer's browser to store your preferences.  You know... whether you prefer men or women, things like that.  Actually not.  What we want them to store are things like what your favorite sections of the site are, your last visit, how long you spend at our site, things like that... mainly to make our site better for you specifically and easier to use.  Cookies by themselves do not tell us your email address or any other personally identifiable information.  Cookies are something we're *giving* to you, not taking from you, so consider them a free gift. If you absolutely don't want cookies enabled, you can turn them off in your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, etc.) settings. For detailed help turning off or disabling the use of cookies, use the HELP function of your particular browser or email us for clarification.

OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you believe we have incorrect personal information for you, or you want us to forget we have any personal information of yours, just drop us an email and we'll take care of it or delete it, whichever you prefer.  We're good that way!

If you believe somebody else has provided us with your personal information, we sincerely apologize on their behalf.   We do our best to verify that all people who submit any information to the site are who they say they are, but occasionally, we fall asleep on the job.  Just drop us an email and we'll get rid of your information faster than you can say 'lawsuit.'

If you, or any other person, sends any personally indentifiable information to others, we cannot be held responsible.   Likewise, if you send email to other FunEHumor visitors, or in any other way imaginable, use our web site, domain, provider or any of our facilities or services to make your information available to people other than the people who maintain or help to maintain FunEHumor, that's your problem buster.

NOTE TO PARENTS OR GUARDIANS

Much of the information on this site may be considered by certain people to be offensive or dirty in nature.  This privacy policy applies to parents too.  If I get a request from a parent or guardian asking if their child is viewing material on my site, or even visiting my site for that matter, I'm pretty much going to ignore the request.  I'm not their parent... you are.  You keep tabs on them; please don't ask me to do it for you.

Your questions are appreciated and can easily be shared with us by sending email to contactus@funehumor.com
