Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, VG Fusion collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. VG Fusion’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how VG Fusion’s visitors use its website. From time to time, VG Fusion may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

VG Fusion also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the Website. VG Fusion only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Website choose to interact with VG Fusion in ways that require VG Fusion to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that VG Fusion gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment or sign up for an account at VGFusion.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in activities with VG Fusion – by entering a competition, for example – may be asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal information required to process entries in those activities. In each case, VG Fusion collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with VG Fusion. VG Fusion does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

VG Fusion may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, VG Fusion may monitor the most popular posts on the Website. VG Fusion may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, VG Fusion does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

VG Fusion discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its Authors, employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on VG Fusion’s behalf or to provide services available at the Website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those Authors, employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. VG Fusion will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its Authors, employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, VG Fusion discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when VG Fusion believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of VG Fusion, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Website and have supplied your email address, VG Fusion may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with VG Fusion and the Website. We primarily use the Website to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via our Contact page or via one of our other feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. VG Fusion takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. VG Fusion uses cookies to help VG Fusion identify and track visitors, their usage of the Website, and their website access preferences. Website visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Website, with the drawback that certain features of the Website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads

Ads appearing on the Website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by VG Fusion and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, VG Fusion may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in VG Fusion’s sole discretion. VG Fusion encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
