(“FADICA”) regarding the use, disclosure and maintenance of information we collect from you through our websites, including our members-only website (collectively, the “Sites”).  Please read this entire Policy before using or submitting information to any of the Sites.  By using any of the Sites, you are deemed to agree to the terms of this Policy, so please do not use any of the Sites if you do not agree with these terms.  We may update this Policy at any time.  Any changes to the Policy will become effective upon the date of our posting of the revised Policy on the Sites.  If you visit any of the Sites following the effective date of the revised Policy, you will be deemed to have accepted the Policy’s updated terms.

I. What Types of Information Does FADICA Collect Through the Sites?

The information we collect through the Sites includes “Personally Identifiable Information” (or “PII”), which is information that identifies you as an individual.  Like many websites, our Sites actively collect information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and other forums. Some of the information that you submit may be PII, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number, place of work, shipping address for purchases, etc.  Certain areas of the Sites may require you to submit information in order to make a purchase or to receive information from us in the future (such as e-mail alerts for news releases).  We do not store any credit card information you may submit.

The Sites also automatically collect information about you that is generally not PII (“Non-PII”) but relates to your use of the Sites.  Non-PII is aggregated information, demographic information and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity.  Non-PII is “passively” collected from you through browser navigational tools, such as cookies, pixel tags, “log files,” “server logs,” and “clickstream data.”  Cookies are small data files that a website stores on the hard drive of the device through which a website user connects to the website.  You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it.  However, refusing a cookie may in some cases preclude you from using, or negatively affect the display or function of, a Site or certain areas or features of a Site.  To learn more about cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

These types of technologies enable the Sites to compile statistics about our daily number of Site visitors or specific page requests, and to identify a webpage you may have visited before visiting a Site.  FADICA, Inc. may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, FADICA, Inc. may use third-party scripts to collect site behavior and analytics. FADICA, Inc. may display this information publicly or provide it to others.

The Sites currently do not respond to a “Do Not Track” browser signal from a user.

By using any of the Sites, you are deemed to unambiguously agree to its use of any cookies that you do not disable.
