FuturePrize Privacy Policy

FuturePrize, LLC ("FuturePrize") operates the futureprize.com website. It is FuturePrize's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, FuturePrize 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. FuturePrize’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how FuturePrize’s visitors use its website. From time to time, FuturePrize may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

FuturePrize also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on futureprize.com pages. FuturePrize 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 FuturePrize's website choose to interact with FuturePrize in ways that require FuturePrize to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that FuturePrize gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who creating or applying for a prize on futureprize.com to provide a name and email address. Those who engage in transactions with FuturePrize - by winning a prize or by keeping a portion of a successful prize they've created, for example - are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions, to verify their identity, etc. In each case, FuturePrize collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with FuturePrize. FuturePrize 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

FuturePrize may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, FuturePrize may monitor the most popular pages on the futureprize.com site or use a spam screening service to help identify spam. FuturePrize may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, FuturePrize does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

FuturePrize discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on FuturePrize's behalf or to provide services available at FuturePrize's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using FuturePrize's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. FuturePrize will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, FuturePrize discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when FuturePrize believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of FuturePrize, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the FuturePrize website and have supplied your email address, FuturePrize 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 FuturePrize and our products. We primarily use our 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 a support email or via one of our 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. FuturePrize takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

FuturePrize visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using FuturePrize's websites, with the drawback that certain features of FuturePrize's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If FuturePrize, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that FuturePrize goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of FuturePrize may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
