Other uses of this information include internal review of the number of visitors to Funimation’s sites, but only in an aggregate form.

Some information may also be automatically collected (unless you have set your computer’s preferences to prevent it) whenever you log onto Funimation websites through what are known as “Cookies.” Cookies are pieces of information stored on a user’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. A Cookie cannot determine your name, e-mail address, phone number, or any other personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information. Rather, a cookie is able to store information about your computer and the online activities generated from it, such as what kind of browser software you use to access the Internet, the type of operating system, and the domain name of your Internet service provider.

We may also use cookies to give users the ability to personalize the website or track and provide users’ scores on designated games or contests. This information is most easily tracked with cookies and is used only for the purpose of operating the website and administrative and research functions.

We also use this information to better understand our fans’ use of our sites so that we can enhance our users’ enjoyment of our sites.

User Information Displayed in Profile

Some user activity information is displayed on your user profile in the History tab. You can control which information appears to other users by visiting your Privacy Settings in your Account under Site & Profile Settings –> Privacy. By default, this setting is set to “Private”, meaning that only you and certain Funimation staff can see this information. Funimation Staff will only use this information for website analysis and functionality purposes.

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information

Funimation will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent. Funimation may, however, 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 causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Funimation’s intellectual property rights or the rights of other Funimation site users, or to anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Further, Funimation may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Service Providers

These companies and individuals have access to personal information only to perform their functions and may not use it for other purposes. Functions include, but are not limited to fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, analyzing data, providing search results, and processing credit card payments.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Advertisers

Our Site may include third-party advertising, links to other websites, and other content from third party businesses. The content posted by these parties will be reasonably identifiable as coming from a third party. We do not provide any personally identifiable information to these advertisers, third-party websites, or other businesses, although on occasion we may mutually share non-personally identifiable (e.g. demographic) information to facilitate delivery of relevant advertisements. These third-party websites, businesses, and advertisers, or advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to deliver (or “serve”) the advertisements that appear on our Site directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize or optimize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other technologies that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites or businesses are not covered by this Policy but are covered by their respective privacy policies. Some, but not all, third party advertising companies provide a mechanism to opt-out of their technology.
