Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other Sites
Make4fun allows other companies, called third-party ad
servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within
Make4fun. These third-party ad servers or ad networks
use technology to send, directly to your browser, the
advertisements and links that appear on Make4fun. They
automatically receive your IP address when this happens.
They may also use other technologies (such as cookies,
JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness
of their advertisements and to personalize the
advertising content you see.
Make4fun does not provide any User's personally
identifiable information to these third-party ad servers
or ad networks. Make4fun does, however, perform
statistical analysis of User usage in order to measure
interest in, and use of, the various parts of Make4fun,
and we shares that information with current and
prospective advertisers, and other interested third
parties. But, this information is aggregated data only
(statistics, etc.), and contains no personally
identifiable information whatsoever.
Please note that if an advertiser asks Make4fun to show
an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men
ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages
18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and
you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or
ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of
the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser
may also use information regarding your use of Make4fun,
such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not
any personally identifiable information), to determine
which ads to deliver to you. Make4fun's privacy policy
does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities
of, such other advertisers or web sites. Any data
obtained by third-party ad servers subsequently shared
with Make4fun is maintained and dealt with by Make4fun
in accordance with this privacy policy.
Any personal information that is voluntarily disclosed
online in comments to Make4fun content, in Make4fun's
forum topics, or in classified public areas within
Make4fun becomes public information and might be
collected and disseminated by third-parties, and result
in, among other things, unsolicited inquiries, messages,
and offers from third-parties. The disclosed information
in such cases becomes public information and this
third-party conduct is out of the control of Make4fun.
Make4fun also contain links to other web sites. We are
not responsible for the privacy practices or the content
of such web sites.
