Information We Collect About You

In General. We may collect personal information that can identify you, such as your name and email address, and other information that does not identify you.

·         Information you provide. We may collect and store any personal information you enter on our Website or provide to us in some other manner, including personal information that may be contained in any video, comment or other submission you upload or post to the Website. This includes identifying information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number; your likeness; and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information). We also may request information about your interests and activities, your gender and age, and other demographic information.

·         Clickstream Data. As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a web site’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the web site from which you linked to our Website.  

·         Information from other sources. We may also periodically obtain both personal and non-personal information about you from other affiliated businesses, business partners, contractors and other third parties. Examples of information that we may receive include: updated delivery and address information, purchase history, and additional demographic information.

If you use our Website to send others (friends, relatives, colleagues, etc.) a product as a gift, information that may interest them or messages (such as invitations) through our system, we may store your personal information, and the personal information of each such recipient. Similarly, if you use our Website to upload, share and/or distribute content (including videos, comments or other submissions), and such content contains personal information about others, such information may be stored in order to allow for such uploading, sharing and/or distribution.

Use of cookies and other technologies to collect information. We use various technologies to collect information from your computer and about your activities on our site. “Cookies” are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. They are small pieces of data that are stored by your web browser on your hard drive. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include information such as the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and time spent at our site. Cookies can remember what information you accessed on one web page to streamline your transactions on related web pages. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized. You may be able to configure your browser to accept or reject all or some cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set; however, you must enable cookies from UOFM in order to utilize our Website.

Through the use of a cookie, we also may automatically collect information about your online activity on our Website, such as the web pages you visit, the links you click, and the searches you conduct on our site. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in or use some of the interactive features offered on our Website.  We may use clickstream data to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the site and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will only be used to improve our site. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregate. 

·         Other Technologies. We may use standard Internet technology, such as web beacons and other similar technologies, to track your use of our Website. We also may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. The information we obtain in this manner enables us to customize the services we offer our Website visitors to deliver targeted advertisements and to measure the overall effectiveness of our online advertising, content, programming or other activities.

·         Information collected by third-parties. We may allow third-parties, including our authorized service providers, affiliated companies, advertising companies, and ad networks, to display advertisements on our Website. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. Unless expressly stated otherwise, our Website does not provide any personal information to these third parties. This information allows them to deliver targeted advertisements and gauge their effectiveness.

With Whom We Share Your Information

We want you to understand when and with whom we may share personal or other information we have collected about you or your activities on our Website or while using our services.  Generally, we may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.

Personal information. We do not share your personal information with others except as indicated below or when we inform you and give you an opportunity to opt out of having your personal information shared. UOFM takes your privacy very seriously and UOFM does not sell or rent your contact information to marketers. However, there are times when it may be advantageous for UOFM to make certain personal information about you available to companies that we have a strategic relationship with or that perform work for us to provide products and services that we think will be of interest to you.

Aggregated and non-personal information. We may share aggregated and non-personal information we collect with strategic partners as above.  We may also share it with third parties and our affiliated companies to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Websites and on Websites of third parties. We may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to our Website and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any personal information and may be used to develop Website content and services that we hope you and other users will find of interest and to target content and advertising.

Third-Party Websites

There are a number of places on our Website or through our services where you may click on a link to access other Websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement or a search result on our Website, you may be taken to a Website that we do not control. These third-party Websites may independently solicit and collect information, including personal information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your activities on those Websites. We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of all third-party Websites you visit by clicking on the "privacy" link typically located at the bottom of the webpage you are visiting.

How You Can Access Your Information

If you have an online account with us, you have the ability to review and update your personal information online by logging into your account. You can also review and update your personal information by contacting us. If you have an online account with us, you also may choose to close your account at any time by contacting UOFM.  After you close your account, you will not be able to sign in to our Website or access any of your personal information. However, you can open a new account at any time. If you close your account, we may still retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, enforce our terms and conditions, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our Website or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.

Your Choices About Collection and Use of Your Information

You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Website because such information may be required in order for you to register; purchase products or Services; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other transactions on our Website.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

UOFM takes administrative, technical and physical precautions to protect the information that is stored within our database. We use industry standard (SSL) encryption technology to safeguard your credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet, and we restrict access to member information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service personnel and technical staff.  Please note, however, that despite our reasonable precautions, unauthorized entry, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time.

Discussions and Community Tools

We may, from time to time, make chat rooms, forums, message boards, news groups and other community tools available to you. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information for other users to view and for us to use.  By using our Website and/or these chat rooms, forums, message boards, news groups, and other community tools, you agree that we may do so. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information in these areas, since anyone - not just us - may use publicly posted information.

Children’s Privacy

Our Website is a general audience site, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices and services.

If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share your personal information, we will notify you by sending an email to the email address you most recently provided us in your account, profile or registration (unless we do not have such an email address), and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Website.
